How to Get Torrent in Elden Ring
Tips for Using Torrent Effectively
Torrent is one of the most important tools in Elden Ring — the open world is built around mounted traversal. Without Torrent, crossing Limgrave and later regions like Altus Plateau and the Mountaintops of the Giants takes much longer and feels far more dangerous. The double jump also opens shortcuts and traversal routes that are impossible on foot. Getting Torrent as early as possible is one of the best things you can do in your first hour of play.
⚡ Quick Answer
How to Get Torrent Step by Step
To get Torrent in Elden Ring, rest at a Site of Grace in Limgrave until Melina appears and offers you an accord. Accept it and she gives you the Spectral Steed Whistle, which lets you summon Torrent instantly. In most playthroughs, this happens very early near Gatefront.
1
Start the game and reach Limgrave. After the tutorial cave (Stranded Graveyard) you emerge onto the Lands Between. Head toward the first glowing Site of Grace you see — the golden light on the ground.
2
Rest at a Site of Grace in Limgrave. In most runs, Melina appears after you rest at an early Limgrave grace such as Gatefront, Agheel Lake North, or Agheel Lake South. Once the cutscene triggers, she offers you an accord and begins the process of giving you Torrent.
3
Accept Melina’s accord. She offers to be your Finger Maiden and take you to the Roundtable Hold. Accept her offer. She gives you the Spectral Steed Whistle as part of this exchange.
4
Equip the Spectral Steed Whistle. Open your inventory and assign the whistle to your pouch or quick item bar so you can summon Torrent instantly whenever needed. This makes exploration, escaping danger, and mounted combat much easier from the start.
5
Mount and dismount Torrent. Use the whistle to summon him. Press the jump button while moving to double jump — Torrent can jump twice in the air which is essential for traversal. Use the whistle again or press the dismount button to get off.

If Torrent dies in combat he disappears — use a Flask of Crimson Tears on him or rest at a Site of Grace to revive him for free.
→
You can fight on horseback — mounted combat is especially useful against field enemies and large open-area bosses. Torrent is also a huge help in fights like Radahn, where mobility is critical.
→
Some field bosses are much easier on Torrent — especially dragons, Night’s Cavalry, and Tree Sentinels in open areas where mobility matters more than blocking.

Torrent can climb slopes and reach areas that look inaccessible on foot — always try riding up steep hills before looking for another route.
