How to Unlock the Torrent Horse in Elden Ring

One of the first things you will want to do when playing Elden Ring is to get a steed which will not only enable you to traverse Lands Between easier but also help you in combat when you need to tackle enemies on horseback such as mounted knights and dragons. This How to Unlock the Torrent Horse will tell you what you need to know.

How to Unlock Torrent

The Torrent horse is not available from the start of the game, in order to acquire a steed you must rest at, and activate the Site of Grace near the Gatefront Ruins. You will find Gatefront Ruins north-west of where you begin, at the base of a huge gate leading to Stormveil Castle. Located north-west and South-east to Gatefront Ruins are Sites of Grace and you can go to either of them. When you arrive you will be greeted by Melina in a cutscene. If you do not trigger the cutscene it may be because you need to rest and activate a number of other Site of Grace first (The First Step, Standed Graveyard, Church of Elleh, Groveside Cave, and Gatefront Ruins).

Melina is a mysterious young lady that acts as a guide thoughout Elden Ring's narrative and allows you to level up your stats. When she first appears she will give you the Spectral Steed Whistle which is a ring that enables you to summon the Torrent horse. Simply equip the ring with your other consumables and you use it when you need your steed (hold Y on your controller or E on keyboard and mouse). Before you leave Gatefront Ruins you will also be able to pick up a Map Fragment and the Whetsone Knife.

How to Use Torrent

Acquiring the Torrent as your steed not only allows you greater mobility and increases your speed, the Torrent horses' ability to double jump allows you more verticality during your exploration, and at certain points on the map it can perform a super jump. During combat when you are mounted upon a Torrent horse you can use specific attack buttons to dictate which side you swing your weapon (R2 and L2 are slow attacks with a long windup, R1 and L1 are quick attacks). Also, running over glowing skulls with the Torrent horse will enable you to pick up golden runes.

How to Heal Torrent

The Torrent horse has its own health bar which indicated the amount of damage your steed has taken during combat. If the Torrent horse dies, you will either have to wait a short amount of time or consume a Sacred Flask of Crimson Tears to summon it again. You can heal a Torrent horse using either a Sweet Raisin or Rowa Raisin. Both of these items can be crafted using the Crafting Kit, which you get from a merchant at the Church of Elleh in the starting area of Limgrave.

Sweet Raisin can be crafted using Golden Rowa and Rowa Raisin can be crafted using Rowa Fruit. Of the two, Sweet Raisin will restore more of Torrent's health but Golden Rowa is a much harder resource to find than Rowa Fruit. Golden Rowa only spawn near the Erdree which you won't come across until later in the game as you venture closer to the capital while Rowa Fruit can be found throughout Lands Between in abundance.
