Diablo 4 allows you to quickly travel around the different regions on mounts, which is much faster than having to run and dash around going from place to place.
With the selection of several mounts available, some players find that collecting them can be fun and great for cosmetic appearance, including the newly added Huntsman’s Basilisk.
This Unique Mount & Armor combination can be obtained for free by players who own the Lord of Hatred expansion and may get it as they progress through the campaign.
How To Get Huntsman’s Basilisk?
The Huntsman’s Basilisk is obtained from the “On The Hunt” quest, which is the 36th quest that becomes available during the Lord of Hatred campaign.
During the quest, you slay Mephisto’s Huntsman, who is currently riding this mount, and later attempt to use it to find Lorath.
While you are unable to ride it at first, the Basilisk leads you to Lorath, and afterward, you can claim it as your own as a permanent mount.
Related Mount Trophy
One trophy that seems to be a part of the package is the Monstrosity’s Head, which may be hinted at since it drops from Mephisto’s Huntsman when you defeat him.
Since the huntsman must have slain several creatures in their time, this trophy might be one of the creatures he took out, and this makes it seem like a worthy mount trophy to use.
While this is not the only trophy that looks good with the Huntsman’s Basilisk, it is a nice choice until you decide on another one that feels more suitable for the mount.
How To Equip The Huntsman’s Basilisk?
The Huntsman’s Basilisk can be equipped just like any other mount, and the moment you obtain it, you get prompted to equip it right away.
You may visit a Stable or may even open the Wardrobe Menu and select Stable from there to change your mount at any given time.
Huntsman’s Basilisk Armor
Unlike with other mounts, the Huntsman’s Basilisk is a Unique Mount & Armor cosmetic, which means it can not equip any other mount armor.
This is because the basilisk itself already comes with its own look, and the slot for its mount armor is locked, but you can still change its mount trophy.
Verdict
The Huntsman’s Basilisk is one of the more unique mounts you can obtain, especially since it comes directly from defeating one of Mephisto’s elite followers during the story.
Its intimidating appearance and monstrous design make it stand out from regular mounts, giving players a more sinister companion while traveling through Sanctuary.
Since the mount is obtained naturally during progression, it serves as both a useful reward and a reminder of the battles fought during the hunt for the final piece of Lilith’s Blade.
