Sacred 2:Mounts
In a huge world like Ancaria, the player has to have methods for dealing with and traversing long distances. One option for doing this is traveling by horse.
Contents
Horse– Horse
Across Ancaria you will find many horse dealers. They offer all kinds of animals, from the simple nag up to a real war horse. You can equip a war horse with bridle, saddle and even special armor. These special mount items can be found in the game just like player items, ranging in quality from regular to rare and even unique items.
In addition, every character also has a unique mount created specifically for their character class. This mount not only fits the personality of the character, but also complements the various aspects of the character's playing style perfectly.
Some mounts offer the player a higher travel speed. All mounts supply the mounted hero with additional bonuses, which are mostly defensive. Certain mounts are even capable of improvising and adapting some of the player's combat arts!
Players can fight while mounted or not, and each method offers a different tactical approach. The choice of whether or not to ride will be made by players for many different reasons, and we will insure that Sacred 2-Fallen Angel offers players that choice.
Seraphim – Saber-toothed Tiger
The Seraphim may look like angels, but their mounts have nothing angelic about them. Their large fangs not only look dangerous, but are indeed deadly weapons.
Shadow Warrior – Hell Hound
The Shadow Warrior has a special mount at his command: the Hellhound. It is slower than a horse, but much stronger in close combat. When the Shadow Warrior rides the Hellhound, it is able to adopt some of the fighting skills of the Shadow Warrior very effectively. It will attack with bites and kicks, and ‘Ruinous Onslaught’ will become far more devastating from atop the Hellhound.
The Hellhound will increase protection values for some combat arts while others will be more effective, and it also provides increased mobility. In spectral form, the Hellhound becomes invisible, which can provide many advantages for tactical approaches in battle. Therefore, the Hellhound is an indispensable companion for the Shadow Warrior.
Dryad - Waran
The Dryads respect nature and ever since the Great War they have hated T-Energy. It makes sense that their special mount is a Monitor Lizard because these giant lizards compliment the Dryad's preference for ranged weapons very well.
High Elf - Wind Serpent
The Wind Serpent would seem almost cute, if it weren’t for its glowing eyes. The Wind Serpent’s appearance is not as commanding as that of a Dragon, but its powers are no less terrible.
Inquisitor - Shroud Spider
The dark powers have provided a very special mount for the Inquisitor. He rides on the back of a large dark spider while weaving his powerful spells.
Temple Guardian - Mobiculum
All characters except for the Temple Guardian have a “biological” special mount. He on the other hand uses a modern, T-Energy powered monowheel, a machine that is as imposing as it is dangerous. The Temple Guardian can use his combat arts even when sitting inside the Mobiculum.
