List of mounts in Dragon Quest XI

The following is a list of all mounts in Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age, including ships and mountable monsters. The monster mounting mechanic is not to be confused with monster taming; in this game, monsters can only exist as mounts for a temporary period of time (until the Luminary leaves the habitable/permitted domain for the mount by teleporting/walking away, or sleeps at a campsite/enters a settlement after getting off of it).

Categories are organised by monster type; monsters who visually appear to be similar other than a palette swap possess the same abilities. The monster types in each category that are seen first are listed first. If unspecified, the monster is able to be found in all acts (Acts 1, 2&3).

Ships edit

Salty Stallion edit

The Salty Stallion is a ship owned by the jester Sylvando, and allows the Hero to travel across the open seas. It is inacessible during a small portion of Act 2, but can be used again after Sylvando and Rab permanently rejoin the Hero's party.

Cetacea edit

Cetacea is a giant floating whale with gold highlights, summoned by playing the calamus flute. She is able to fly the party to various different places on the map. In 2D mode, she is able to drop the party wherever they want on the map, but in 3D mode she is unable to do this. Instead, she can drop the party off at various Whale Way Stations and other various points of interest.

When she is summoned, if the Luminary is not at Havens Above, The Battleground, the Fortress of Fear or the Whale Way Station, the party will be picked up at the Luminary's Landing in Arboria.

Creatures edit

Animals edit

Horse edit

A horse is the first mount the player obtains in the game. It is obtained when the Hero leaves his hometown Cobblestone for the first time and is gifted its finest steed. The Hero can summon this horse with a tinkle of the horse hailer or any of the various horse bells scattered around the world.

Great Sabrecat edit

Purchasing the Baumren's bell at the Octagonia Casino (Act 2/3) will unlock a ridable great sabrecat that is much faster than all other mounts in the game. It is ringable in the same select menu as the horse hailer (as well as being able to be used in the Important Item section), and also possesses the same limitations.
