If you're an avid player of ODIN Valhalla Rising, you know that mount skins aren’t just about aesthetics—they can also provide subtle stat boosts and make your character stand out in the world of Midgard. While some skins are available through standard gameplay, others are well-hidden and require a bit of effort to unlock. Here’s a guide to finding all 11 secret mount skins in the game.
1. Frostfang Wolf
This icy wolf mount is hidden in the Frozen Peaks region. Complete the "Chill of the North" side quest chain, which starts with an NPC named Haldor near the abandoned frost giant camp. The final reward is the Frostfang Wolf skin.
2. Emberhoof Stallion
Found in the Volcanic Wasteland, this mount requires you to defeat the rare elite boss Ignar the Unbroken. He spawns every 6-8 hours, so keep an eye on the area chat for spawn announcements.
3. Celestial Gryphon
To unlock this majestic flying mount, you’ll need to collect 50 Starlight Feathers scattered across high-altitude areas. The easiest way is to farm them from skybound elites in Asgard’s Reach.
4. Abyssal Serpent
This underwater mount skin is a reward for completing the hidden dungeon Trench of the Drowned in the Ocean of Ymir. You’ll need a party of at least five players to clear it.
5. Golden Mane Lion
Exclusive to players who participate in the monthly PvP tournament, this skin is awarded to the top 10 ranked players. If you’re not a PvP expert, you can also occasionally find it in the premium shop for ODIN Diamonds.
6. Shadowstalker Panther
A stealth-themed mount, this skin drops from the Nightveil Assassins in the Darkwood Forest. They only appear between 9 PM and 3 AM server time, so plan your farming accordingly.
7. Stormborn Drake
This electric-blue drake is tied to the Tempest’s Call raid. Clear the raid on Hard Mode, and you’ll have a 10% chance to receive the skin as a drop.
8. Bloodmoon Direwolf
Available during the Ragnarok Festival event, this skin can be obtained by exchanging 1,000 Festival Tokens. If you miss the event, you might need to buy ODIN Diamonds to purchase it from another player via the trading post.
9. Gilded Phoenix
Crafting this skin requires rare materials: 30 Sunfire Essence (from high-level alchemy) and 10 Divine Alloy (from dismantling legendary gear). It’s a grind, but worth it for the glowing gold effect.
10. Obsidian Rhino
This tank-like mount is a reward for completing all Blackrock Fortress achievements. Some achievements are time-gated, so patience is key.
11. Mystic Kirin
The rarest of them all, this mount is a 0.1% drop from Celestial Chests, which can be obtained through high-tier treasure maps. If RNG isn’t on your side, you might consider saving up ODIN Diamonds to buy a chest bundle when they’re available.
Final Tips
Some skins are event-limited, so always check the in-game calendar.
Trading with other players can be a faster way to obtain certain skins, especially if you have extra ODIN Diamonds.
Join a guild—many hidden quests and dungeons are easier with coordinated groups.
