The Beasts of Agon: Mounts and Monsters

Monsters

The fauna of Agon come in all shapes and sizes; from the sneaky tribes of goblins and kobolds to the god-like powers of the awesome dragon. But the monsters of this land are clever, they don't want to give you their loot and they don't want you to slay them. While other lands may have beasts under every rock ready to dish out their loot, the denizens of Darkfall are more cunning. You will find that enemies react to you and their situation in a craftier manner. Goblins will weave and dodge your spells, call on their friends or back off to assess the situation before charging in again. Gnolls will lie in ambush to leap out at you from the shadows. And should the beasts find the land to hard to live in, they will migrate. You will need to develop the skills of a true hunter should you wish to face these enemies. And quite often, you may want to bring some friends along..

Mounts

Not all the beasts of Agon will want to eat your face and use your leftovers for an ash-tray. Mounts come in a variety of species and can give you a number of advantages in both combat and travel. Obtaining a mount can be as simple as killing it's current rider and stealing it from under him. The blood-thirsty mounts of Agon are not terribly bothered about loyalty, as long as they get to ride into battle they don't care who the rider may be!


To spawn your steed, simply double-click on the figurine in your backpack while aiming your cross-hairs at the location you would like it to spawn. Be wary however, once the beast has arrived, anybody may mount it. So make sure you are in a safe location when you summon it. Keep in mind also that when you die, the figurine in your bag is free to loot. To de-spawn your trusty mount, walk up to it and press . This will bring up the menu of options so you can select the de-spawn option.

It is also possible to melee off the back of the mount with a one handed weapon and shield. Depending on the key combinations you press your mount will also join in the fray to apply some hefty attacks of its own.
