Walking through endless plains and fighting terrible monsters is a trope that never really gets old, and that’s all Diablo IV is about. The open world is very rich and welcoming, making it a nice counterpart to the many dungeons you’ll have to go through during your path to Lilith. But walking all that on your bare feet can be tiresome.
There are plenty of mounts available to make faster journeys around the land, which are especially helpful when you’re trying to reach somewhere with no nearby Waypoints. One of them is the Light Bearer mount, and here’s how you can get it.
How to Get The Light Bearer Mount in Diablo 4
The Light Bearer Mount is one of the various pre-ordering rewards for Diablo IV Standard Edition. If you reserved your game copy ahead of its launch, you’ll be able to claim it as soon as you start playing the fully released game.
By pre-ordering the Standard Edition, you also get extra rewards for other games available through Battle.net, such as a different mount for World of Warcraft and cosmetics for Diablo III. If you ordered the Digital Deluxe version, you also get the Temptation mount.

You couldn’t claim pre-ordering rewards during the Beta or the Server Slam periods as all progress (characters and items included) was lost. This feature was only included in the game’s full release, and you can claim them naturally after reaching a certain point early in the main story.
Having a mount early is useful as there are only seven Waypoints scattered around the Fractured Peaks, the initial area. Although they’re in strategic points to try to minimize all of that walking, you’ll still have to run a lot to get to certain areas, so you better start stretching those legs.
