Enhancing Eivor’s horse and other mounts in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is crucial for navigating the expansive open world effectively. This process hinges on upgrading your Settlement, specifically by constructing the Stable and Aviary, where you can train and customize your mounts.

Building and Using the Stable and Aviary

To begin enhancing your mounts, you must first upgrade your Settlement, Ravensthorpe. Here are the steps to do this:

1. Build the Stable and Aviary:
– Collect the necessary materials: You’ll need 400 Supplies and 30 Raw Materials to construct these facilities within your Settlement.

2. Access Mount Services:
– After the Stable and Aviary are completed, you can interact with the stablehand inside to manage your mounts and your raven. This includes the ability to swap mounts, purchase training, and customize your animals.

Mount Training and Upgrades

The Stable and Aviary provides various training options to enhance your mounts:

| Training Option | Effect | Cost |
|————————|————————————————|———–|
| Swimming Lessons | All mounts gain the ability to swim | 150 Silver|
| Endurance Training | Improves mount stamina efficiency | 200 Silver|
| Strength Training | Increases mount health | 250 Silver|

– Swimming Lessons: This upgrade allows your mounts to swim, facilitating quicker crossing of rivers and lakes.
– Endurance Training: Enhancing stamina efficiency enables your mounts to run longer distances without becoming fatigued.
– Strength Training: By increasing the health of your mounts, this upgrade makes them more resilient against enemy attacks while you ride.

Additional Tips

– Mount Swapping: At the Stable and Aviary, you have the ability to change your active mount at any time. Be aware that some mounts can only be acquired through purchases or special events.
– Horse Customization: While certain mounts may just be for aesthetic appeal, all mounts can benefit from the upgrades you purchase at the Stable and Aviary.
– Animal Synergy: Notably, any upgrades you purchase apply to all mounts in your collection, not just the one you are currently using, thus maximizing the value of your investments.

How to Acquire Mounts

Mounts can be acquired through various means:

– Some mounts are available for direct purchase at the Stable and Aviary, such as:
– Savage Horse – Costs 390 Silver.
– Blue Shades Horse – Costs 500 Silver.
– Additionally, mounts can be obtained through in-game purchases, events, or collectibles.
