Assassin’s Creed Shadowsfollows the series tradition and throws players into an expansive map filled with landmarks to explore, andnew NPCs to encounter. However, the only means of traversing across the whole map is either through running or relying on your trusty steed. Thankfully, the game lets you summon your mount from anywhere on the map, but it doesn’t tell you how to do that outright. Let’s check out how players can use whistling to call their mount and lure enemies to their demise.
How to Call Your Mount in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Assassin’s Creed Shadowsmakes it easier for players tosummon their mount by simply whistlingfor it. First, let’s check out the controls for calling your mount in the game.
PC (Keyboard)
Hold ‘Down’ on D-Pad
Press “L3” Button
Press ‘Square’ Button
Once the mount is called, Naoe or Yasuke will automatically hop onto it and start riding. This action may get confusing for players as pressing the D-Pad Down or X key once will trigger a whistle, which is primarily used as a lure for enemies.
How to Upgrade to a Higher Rarity Mount
Players will have a common horse when the game starts for Naoe. However, you may also upgrade your mount inAssassin’s Creed Shadowsto a higher rarity by simplybuying a horse from the Ornament Vendor. These vendors are located in named cities across the map, but players will have to search for them manually by roaming the streets.
After interacting with an Ornament Vendor, players can choose a higher-rarity horse, and simply purchase it for money. The horse prices usually change depending on what level you’re currently at. However,it’s not worth upgrading your horsejust for a rarity. This is because the upgraded horse does not come withany special perks or upgraded abilities, like faster speed.
So, you’ll be buying a higher rarity mount inAC Shadowsjust for its looks, or replacing a common horse with a rarer one. There aren’t any practical advantages to doing so, so it’s best to save money.
