Elden Ring Installation Guide: How to Get Torrents
The Elden Ring mount is one of the new soul elements you’ll encounter in Lands Between. Your trusty ghost warhorse, Torrent, can’t just hoof it between the ruins of Grace – he can also help you traverse obstacles with his double jump and even help you in combat.
There are various bosses and enemies in the world, and you have to deal with them from horseback, such as horse riders guarding the road, and even dragons. Torrents add a whole new level to dragon fighting. He lets you dodge their AoE flames with ease, and weave between their legs to hit them in the nose with your weapon.
Fortunately, torrents are easy to get at the start of the game. I’ll show you how to get started with torrenting in Elden Ring and explain some key riding details.
How to get mounts at Elden Ring
You can get torrents shortly after leaving the stranded graveyard and entering the open world. Head north to the destroyed Elleh Church and activate the Grace Station there. The next Grace site you activate and rest will prompt Melina to appear. Follow East Road to Gatefront Ruins: it has two elegant stops to choose from.
Melina will give you a bargain, and if you agree, she’ll give you a ghost steed whistle. Even if you say no to her initially, you can still call her at the Grace site and change her mind. Once you get the whistle, you can equip it with consumables and use it to summon a torrent.
Torrents can sprint just like you. He can also jump, although he has a second jump charge which makes him more suitable for climbing and platform jumping. Here are some other points to remember:
- You can use specific attack buttons to indicate which side of your weapon you’re swinging in combat. If you use a controller, R2 and L2 are slow attacks, while R1 and L1 are fast attacks.
- If you run past glowing skulls with a torrent, you can also pick up golden runes from them.
Now that you have a torrent, don’t forget to get the Elden Ring before continuing.
how to cure torrent
Torrent has his own health bar, and he may die before you, knocking you to the ground. As you can imagine, this is especially troublesome in boss fights.
Fortunately, you can heal Torrents by feeding him Rowa Raisins. You can make these fruits using Rowa Fruit found in bushes throughout the Lands Between. You can even feed him while he’s running, making it a handy tool to heal him in combat. Rowa Raisins don’t require a recipe to unlock, once you get the crafting tools from the merchant Kale at Elleh Church, you can use your crafting menu to craft them. If Torrent dies too much, you will have to use your vial of Crimson Tears to heal him.
The good thing is that torrents lose health, and you can also kill enemies and boss mounts, which is usually easier to defeat them.
Elden Ring Spirit Springs: What are they?
The land in between is full of high cliffs and deep ravines, and sometimes you need a quick way to get out of them. That’s where Spirit Springs come in – you can use them to make torrents jump great distances. You can only do this at fixed points, but they are easy to identify.
First, look for a circle of water that is moving and moving, then torrent in and hit the jump button. Make sure you’re actually facing where you’re going, or it could be bad for both of you.
