While there are a number of regular mounts you can come across, like most high-end loot, the Legendary Mount is off the beaten path in a place you wouldn’t expect. If you’re trying to get a new mount, this guide will show you the location of the legendary variant.

Where To Find The Namazu Mount

Getting this mount is rather easy once you know where to look. First, you need to be on the island ofOkishima on Lake Biwa in Omi. Just looknorthwest of Azuchi, and you’ll see thelargest land massin the lake. That’s where you’ll need to be.

Once on the Okishima, navigate to thewestern sideof the island. There should be acouple of enemies near a bonfirein this location, with aside missionjust past them.

After you’ve taken care of the enemies,dive into the water directly in front of the bonfire. When you’re in the water,go under, immediately turn around towards the island, andswim leftward.

By swimming along the submerged part of the island, you should see an entrance to a cave. However,you might have to swim deeper if you can’t find it.

The mouth of the cave can be easy to miss since it’s deep in the water. Try going to the island during the day or increase your brightness in the game’s settings to see the entrance better.

When you find the entrance,swim through itand follow the only path. It’ll lead you to thechest holding the Namazu Mount. Once you have it,swim back to the surfaceto freelychange your mount.

It’s worth pointing out that thismount is purely cosmetic. There won’t be any change in gameplay when you equip the Namazu Mount.
