How to tame the Direhorse in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

You can tame a Direhorse during The Wandering Clan mission at the Grazing Grounds beneath the Celebration Arches in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Slowly walk towards the Direhorse and raise your arms via the button prompt to tame a Direhorse. This is a level 7 quest so you’ll have to progress quite a bit in the main story arc to get here. It’s initially inaccessible via ikran, meaning that you can’t waltz into this region early on.

Finishing this task sends you on a journey towards The Circle, tents where one of the major Na’vi factions reside. It’s a visually stunning experience as you follow the flying kites without any other map indicators. Unlike the ikran, your bonds with the Direhorse are temporary. This means that you’ll have to bond with one again when you require its burst of speed.

Feel free to ditch your Direhorse for another

Unlike your ikran bond, Direhorse connections are temporary. But you can’t summon one whenever you like.

Where to find a Direhorse fast in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

Looking around The Circle is the quickest way to find a Direhorse. Use your Na’vi senses to detect the scents of nearby animals. Finding a Direhorse scent will show you a path that leads you to their pack. Once you’re near enough, start walking towards one slowly to trigger the bonding process. After bonding with a Direhorse, you can zip past terrain in any direction you like. Just remember that Direhorses aren’t as fast as your trusty ikran.

That covers the Direhorse in the game. Read up on the game’s crossplay support if you’re looking to play the game with a friend on another platform. And if you’ve decided to purchase the game, here are some Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora preorder bonuses. The game will release on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Amazon’s Luna service.
