Dragon Quest XI: monster mount system detailed
The most recent issue of Weekly Jump magazine has introduced another new Dragon Quest XI feature – monster mounts. When defeating certain monsters in battle, you will occasionally be able to mount them. This will give you the ability to overcome various obstacles in the world and reach places you couldn’t get to on your own. Here are some examples of mounts and what you can do with them:
Dragon Rider: By riding this flying mount, you can obviously get to places you couldn’t reach on foot.
Skull Rider: You can climb up cliffs and dungeon walls using this mount.
Other than these familiar faces, there are also brand new monsters that you can ride:
Pearl Mobile: A mysterious machine that looks to be made out of a kind of metal resembling pearls. Riding it lets you leap to high places.
Bee Rider: An elite Ocobolt soldier riding a giant bee. By riding one yourself, it will allow you to cross lakes by simply flying over them.
