To mount a Direhowl in Palworld, you must first unlock its specific Saddled Harness in the Technology tree at Level 9 and then craft it at a Pal Gear Workbench.
Unlocking the Direhowl's Saddled Harness
Before you can ride your Direhowl, you need to acquire the essential riding gear: the Direhowl's Saddled Harness. This item enables the mounting ability for your Direhowl.
- Access the Technology Menu: Open your in-game menu and navigate to the "Technology" section.
- Reach Level 9: Progress your character's level until you unlock the Technology options available at Level 9.
- Unlock the Harness: Within the Level 9 Technology tree, locate and unlock the Direhowl's Saddled Harness. This will make the crafting recipe available.
Crafting the Saddled Harness
Once the harness is unlocked, the next step is to craft it at a specialized workstation.
- Locate a Pal Gear Workbench: Find or construct a Pal Gear Workbench at your base. This is the designated station for crafting Pal-specific equipment.
- Interact with the Workbench: Access the crafting interface of the Pal Gear Workbench.
- Select and Craft: Choose the Direhowl's Saddled Harness from the available recipes. You will need to gather the required materials (which will be displayed in the crafting menu) before you can initiate the crafting process.
- Complete Crafting: Once you have the materials, craft the harness.
Mounting Your Direhowl
With the Direhowl's Saddled Harness successfully crafted, you are now ready to ride your Direhowl.
- Ensure Direhowl is in Party: Make sure the Direhowl you wish to mount is currently in your active party.
- Mount Option: With the harness in your inventory, simply approach your Direhowl in the game world, and you should see an option to mount it. The process is similar to mounting other Pals like Eikthyrdeer, requiring only the appropriate gear to be present.
Obtaining a Direhowl
If you haven't yet captured a Direhowl, one way to acquire one is during base defense events. When your base is invaded by Man-Eating Pals, you might encounter Direhowls among the attackers. Successfully capturing one of these attacking Direhowls will allow you to add it to your collection and eventually mount it once its harness is crafted.
