There is a huge choice when it comes to mounts in Assassin’s Creed Origins. All of them come with different looks and advantages. There are 30 different mounts in the game. Most of the time they are used for faster traveling, but they can be useful in combat as well. . This guide will teach you everything you have to know about the mounts.
Mounts will be necessary while roaming around since the map in-game is huge. You will be able to find them all across the map. Some of them you will get by completing quests and some you can buy in the E-Store. But most of the mounts are available in the stables for purchase.
Mounts are divided into 3 categories:
Horses
Camels
Chariots
Another way of getting mounts is by winning the Hippodrome races. By winning every race you will be able to claim rewards. Completing more races difficulty will increase, but so will the rewards.

To buy this mythical creature, you will need Helix Credits. The easiest way is to buy it with 500 Helix Credits, which you can get by buying an edition of the game that comes with a season pass.
