The spirit of Arduanatt the Dream Horse has arrived to the world of Black Desert. The eldest child of Krogdalo is heavily associated with the wind, using its two great wings to soar and glide over the lands of Black Desert.
It is said that a select few horses possess the potential to awake the spirit of Arduanatt within them, but Adventurers will have to help train their horses to reach the power of Arduanatt.
How to Awaken Arduanatt
Step 1 - Prepare a Tier 8 Courser
Adventurers will need to have a level 30 Tier-8 courser to awaken Arduanatt.
As mentioned in the Courser and Tier 8 GM Note, coursers are horses that possess coveted skills [this is signified by having a golden horse icon next to its tier in the Mount Information window].
If you need a refresher on what Coursers and Tier 8 horses are, check out the GM Note for it [here].
Skill Requirement for Tier 8 Coursers |
|
Tier 8 |
Charge, Drift, Sprint, Instant Accel, Sideways, S: Instant Accel, S: Sideways |
Step 2 - Awaken the Courser!
With all the skills ready, Gula at the Stonetail Horse Ranch or Melabee at Grána City will be able to help train your Tier 8 Courser even further.
Gula and Melabee will need you to remove any of the horse's equipment before he can help out.
Gula and Melabee will help your Tier 8 Courser train in 3 areas: Skill, Elegance, and Strength. However, he will require different special materials to train the horse in each area.
Luckily, these materials are found around the world of Black Desert by defeating monsters and using life skills. Inserting the materials and then pressing ‘Training’ will allow Gula to work his magic.

(e.g. Skill 180% + Elegance 15% + Strength 5% = 200%)

If the awakening attempt fails, then all of the training categories will reset, but the Tier 8 Courser will retain its level and skills. Adventurers can choose to use Cron Stones to save half of the training % if the attempt fails.
However, each failed attempt will increase the next Awakening Rate, regardless of whether you use Cron Stones or not.
If the awakening is successful, then the Tier 8 Courser will become Arduanatt the Dream Horse.
Arduanatt - The Winged Horse
Born from the spirit of the wind and earth Krogdalo, Arduanatt is able to soar through the skies and glide in the air.
Legend has it that Arduanatt was once friends with Secrua, the daughter of the sun. Friendly at first, their clashing personalities were the source of conflict between the two, resulting in Arduanatt’s wings to be melted after their biggest clash.
However, Arduanatt’s spirit has once again resurfaced, allowing horses to awaken the spirit within to become Arduanatt, the winged horse.
Skills
Arduanatt can learn any skill that other horses can learn, but also has a few exclusive inherent and learnable skills.
If a horse is awakened into an Arduanatt, the level will reset back to 1 and by default have 3 skills: Courser’s Spirit, Wings of Wind, and Double Jump.
◈ Exclusive Dream Horse Skills S: Charge - Charges twice in a row. It has a greater range and deals more damage than the regular charge. Double Jump - Jump one more time in the air. You need to have Streak Leap and High Jump to use this skill. Courser's Spirit - It slowly recovers HP and stamina while it rests.
◈ Exclusive Arduanatt Skills Wings of Wind - Allows Arduanatt to open its wings to glide in the air after using Double Jump. Wings of Freedom - Allows you to turn while gliding. |
