There are two mount types in the game: one to fly and one to ride. With the latter one, you’ll be able to explore the vast prairies from the comfort of your saddle on a Direhorse. Here’s exactly how to tame one of these wonderful beasts in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

The world of Pandora contains innumerable creatures, from the smallest Viperwolf to the mighty Ikran. You can find the majority of these critters in the new Avatar Frontiers of Pandora game. Today, however, we’ll be focusing on one particular area.

The Direhorse, as you can guess, is a version of the horse, but with a sprinkling of Pandora laced in its design, and we’ll find out how to tame it so you can ride this mighty beast.

Some milestones are required before gaining access to a Direhorse, so potential spoilers are ahead.

You’ll need to reach the 14th-story mission ‘The Wandering Clan’ to access the Upper Plains of Pandora with the Zeswa Clan. So you’ll need to complete all the story missions with the Aranahe Clan first to reach this point.

  1. Find a wild Direhorse using your Na’vi senses and approach it slowly.
  2. From a near distance, press the action button prompted to soothe the Direhorse so it doesn’t run away.
  3. After bonding with tit, approach slowly and continue to soothe the Direhorse until you get the prompt to mount it.
  4. Press the button and jump on your Direhorse.

If you lose your Direhorse, you can locate it on the map with an image that resembles a horse. Your bond with the Direhorse isn’t extremely strong so you can easily hitch a ride with another if you’re in need of some transport.
