In Dragon Age: Inquisition, efficiently utilizing your mount can significantly enhance your exploration and travel across the expansive world. Below are detailed instructions and tips on how to summon, gallop, and dismount your mount across various platforms:

Mounting and Dismounting Your Mount

PC Controls
1. Summon/Dismount:
– Press the Equals (=) key to summon or dismount your mount.

2. Galloping:
– Use the movement keys to control your ride.
– To gallop, you can toggle the run/walk feature with the G key or hold the designated movement key forward.

Controller (Xbox/PS4) Controls
1. Summon/Dismount:
– Access the radial menu to select your mount and summon it.
– To dismount, press the summon button again or navigate through the radial menu.

2. Galloping:
– Hold the left stick forward to gallop.

Benefits of Using Mounts
– Mounts are designed to enhance exploration, allowing for faster travel across the game’s vast outdoor landscapes.
– They are particularly adept at handling rough terrain, including hills and uneven surfaces, which can be a significant advantage while navigating through the game’s environments.

Additional Notes on Mounts
– While on foot, you can use the whistle command to temporarily make your mount (and the mounted character) follow another character in your party.
– It is crucial to remember that mounts do not dismount automatically when entering combat. You must manually dismount by using the mount/dismount command again.

Acquiring Your First Mount
If you’re beginning your journey in Dragon Age: Inquisition and are looking for a mount, you can obtain a free one by completing the “Master of Horses” quest, which is available early in the game, specifically in the Hinterlands area.

By mastering these controls and understanding the benefits of mounts, players can significantly improve their travel efficiency and overall experience in the game’s expansive world. Enjoy your adventures!
