To ride a deer-like Pal in Palworld, you must first capture the specific Pal and then craft its corresponding saddle at the Pal Gear Workbench. The earliest and most common deer-like mount you'll encounter is the Eikthyrdeer.
How to Ride a Deer in Palworld
Riding a deer-like Pal in Palworld, such as the majestic Eikthyrdeer, involves two main steps: capturing the Pal itself and then crafting the specialized gear required for mounting.
Step 1: Capture Your Eikthyrdeer
The first Pal that resembles a deer and can be ridden is the Eikthyrdeer. This distinctive Pal features purple markings and large antlers, making it quite recognizable in the Palworld environment.
- Locating Eikthyrdeer: Eikthyrdeer are typically found in the early-game areas, making them an accessible first mount.
- Preparation for Capture: Before attempting to capture an Eikthyrdeer, it's highly recommended to capture some other Pals to assist you in battle. Their support will make the capture process significantly easier and safer.
- Capture Process: Engage the Eikthyrdeer in combat, weaken it, and then throw a Pal Sphere to attempt the capture.
Step 2: Craft the Eikthyrdeer Saddle
Once you've successfully captured an Eikthyrdeer, the next crucial step is to craft its relevant saddle. This saddle is the essential item that enables you to mount and ride your Eikthyrdeer.
- Pal Gear Workbench: The Eikthyrdeer Saddle, like all Pal-specific gear, must be crafted at the Pal Gear Workbench. This structure becomes available as you progress through your technology tree.
- Crafting Requirements: To craft the saddle, you'll need to unlock the recipe in your technology menu (usually around specific player levels) and gather the necessary materials. Once crafted, simply add it to your inventory.
- Equipping and Riding: With the saddle crafted and in your inventory, approach your captured Eikthyrdeer, and an option to mount it will appear.
Getting Started with Palworld Mounts
Eikthyrdeer serves as an excellent early-game mount, providing increased traversal speed across the vast landscapes of Palworld. It is one of the first mounts you can acquire, making exploration significantly more efficient right from the beginning of your adventure. By following these steps, you'll be able to quickly navigate the world on the back of your own Eikthyrdeer.
