Revision 6

Overview

The Icicle Edge Alpine Ibex is a legendary ibex mount in Crimson Desert, widely considered the best non-horse travel mount in the game. Introduced as a permanent summonable mount in Patch 1.01.00, it is obtained by defeating the boss Moren, the Mistwood Huntmaster, in the Longleaf Tribe faction quest chain in Pailune. The ibex combines good raw movement speed (only surpassed by the three legendary horses) with a bounding gait that lets it handle awkward terrain, hills, and obstacles far more gracefully than any horse.

Base Stats

At Level 1, the Icicle Edge Alpine Ibex has the following base stats:

With 400 Health, 300 Stamina, and 50 Evade, the Icicle Edge Alpine Ibex is a durable travel mount. Its 25 Attack is not combat-focused; the mount's value lies in traversal rather than fighting.

How to Obtain

Unlocking the Icicle Edge Alpine Ibex requires completing a lengthy multi-step quest chain. The prerequisites are:

1. Complete Chapter 7 and begin Chapter 8 of the main story to unlock the Pailune region.

2. Pailune Militia quests: Complete the full Pailune Militia faction quest chain, including "Crossroads of Succession," "Blooded Path," "Nest of the White Feathers," and "Dark Shadow."

3. Skoghurn Tribe quests: Complete the Skoghurn Tribe chain, including "Fire Breathing Pack" and "Deep Rooted Sorrow."

4. Longleaf Tribe quests: Travel to the Longleaf Forest region. Accept the bounty notice from "Concern of the Tannery" within the Longleaf Tribe quests, which triggers "The Sport Hunter" quest.

5. Fog Over the Forest: Complete the full chain leading to the boss encounter.

6. Defeat Moren: Face Moren, the Mistwood Huntmaster, north of the Ridge Hunter Tannery.

Moren Boss Fight

Moren is a two-phase boss encounter. After depleting his first health bar, Moren will flee. Track him via the red circle on your minimap for the second phase, which hits noticeably harder. Keep healing items ready for the second phase.

Defeating Moren drops the Icicle Edge Alpine Ibex Horns. Take these to the Witch's House in the Witchwoods (southwest of Hernand) and speak to Elowen. She will craft the Sigil of Solidarity, which permanently registers the mount when used from your inventory.

Mount Characteristics

The Icicle Edge Alpine Ibex excels at traversal. Its bounding gait handles hills, rocky terrain, and obstacles smoothly. On flat ground, its speed is competitive with horses, falling just short of the legendary horses Royler, Rokade, and Camora. On uneven terrain, however, the ibex often outpaces horses because it does not slow down or stumble on slopes the way horses do.

As a permanent mount, the Icicle Edge Alpine Ibex can be summoned at will, stored at stables, and called back after dismounting. This is a significant advantage over the temporary Ibex variant.
