00:05 To unlock the Elden Ring Horse, Torrent, Spectral Steed, to his friends,
00:08 you will unfortunately have to do a little bit of work.
00:11 Not too much, though, and it'll be worth it,
00:13 because your steed will allow you to easily run around a landscape,
00:16 scale steep terrain, and provide an edge in some combat encounters.
00:19 So, if that sounds useful to you, here's how to get Torrent, the Elden Ring Horse,
00:23 as well as all the advantages that come with it.
00:25 You can unlock Torrent, Spectral Steed, by visiting three Sites of Grace.
00:28 These are the glowing bonfire-like checkpoints in Elden Ring.
00:31 Most players will unlock Torrent once they hit the Site of Grace at the Gatefront Ruins,
00:35 but this is mainly a coincidence because of where you're directed in the first few hours.
00:39 All you actually need to do is find any three Sites of Grace,
00:42 and after resting at the third one, you'll be visited by an NPC called Melina.
00:46 Melina will make you an offer, and if you accept it,
00:49 she will then give you an item called the Spectral Steed Whistle,
00:52 which you can equip to summon Torrent at any time.
00:54 It's listed in your key items and can be equipped as a quick item, like your flasks.
00:58 You can also slot it into the extra storage pouches
01:01 if for some reason you don't want instant access.
01:03 With the Whistle equipped, press X or Square to use it
01:06 and instantly summon or de-summon Torrent the Horse beneath you.
01:09 You can also quickly hop off and de-summon Torrent by clicking the left stick.
01:13 Torrent the Spectral Steed basically lets you get around a lot faster,
01:16 while slightly limiting what you can do while you're on it.
01:18 You can switch to a Gallop and Double Jump,
01:20 making it great for clearing obstacles or getting past enemies you don't want to fight,
01:24 and you can still use items like flasks.
01:26 However, being a large, fast-moving horse... thing
01:28 means that Torrent is more unwieldy and less precise in its movements,
01:32 so you'll find yourself riding in wide circles
01:34 and having to perform strafing runs to attack your enemies.
01:37 Players also can't use weapons, skills, block or other behaviours while mounted,
01:41 although you can still attack with the shoulder buttons
01:43 directing light and heavy attacks on the left and right sides respectively.
01:46 It's worth noting that Torrent is not immortal
01:48 and can be killed both by enemy attacks and extreme fall damage,
01:52 although you can heal it by feeding them food items.
01:54 If it is killed, Torrent will fade out of existence
01:56 but can instantly be summoned again using the whistle.
01:59 And that's all you need to know about getting and using Torrent,
02:01 Elden Ring's weird ghost horse.
