11 Overview

33 Herspia is the first mount obtained in Crimson Desert. This horse is automatically granted to Kliff shortly after completing the prologue, during the Unknown Space main quest. Herspia is the player's trusty companion for the early portions of the game and remains a viable mount throughout the entire adventure thanks to the horse leveling system.

55 While Herspia does not have the raw stats of the legendary horses like Royler, Rokade, or Camora, it can be leveled up through regular riding. The more you ride Herspia, the more its defense, speed, stamina, and other attributes improve, making it a solid long-term mount for players who invest time in their starter horse.

1010 Herspia is obtained during the Unknown Space quest, which takes place shortly after the prologue. Sebastian offers Kliff a wild horse capture during this sequence, and the horse you receive becomes Herspia. This is a scripted event and cannot be missed. After obtaining Herspia, you can summon it at any time by holding Down on the D-Pad and selecting the horse from the mount wheel.

1414 Herspia's initial stats are randomized like all wild horses in Crimson Desert. Each horse has three core stats:
1515  
1616 StatEffectSpeedAffects gallop pace and maximum sprint speedStaminaDetermines how long the horse can sprint before becoming fatiguedStrengthAffects combat capability while mounted, including back kick damage
1717 Horses level up the more you ride them. As Herspia gains levels, its defense, speed, stamina, and other attributes all improve. This means that a well-leveled Herspia can outperform many wild horses you encounter later in the game.

1919 Trust Level
2020  
2121 Every horse in Crimson Desert has a trust level that ranges from 1 to 5. As trust increases, the horse unlocks new movement and combat abilities. You build trust by riding the horse regularly, feeding it, and healing it when injured. Higher trust levels provide access to better maneuvers and more responsive controls during mounted combat.

3535 You can feed your horse while mounted by opening your inventory and selecting the item. You can also drop food from your inventory while the horse is summoned, and Herspia will eat it on its own. If Herspia is injured (visible from coat damage or the horse sitting on grass after being summoned), visit a stable and speak to the stable keeper to select Retrieve and Heal Horse, which costs copper or silver coins depending on the severity of the injury.

4141 Do not underestimate Herspia. With proper leveling and equipment, your starter horse can carry you through most of the game.Feed Herspia regularly to keep its health topped off and build trust faster.Invest in a good Saddle early. The stamina efficiency improvement makes a noticeable difference in how far you can ride before needing to rest.Once you unlock the ability to tame additional wild horses, compare their stats with Herspia's current stats. A wild horse with better base stats may be worth switching to, but a well-leveled Herspia is often competitive.If Herspia becomes fatigued and refuses to run, stop sprinting and let its stamina recover naturally, or feed it a Horse Stimulant for an immediate stamina boost.
