Overview
Priden is one of the five standard horse breeds in Crimson Desert. It features average health and stamina but stands out for its improved handling and jump power. Thanks to its High Jump skill, Priden excels in mountainous terrain like Pailune, where vertical movement is frequently required.
How to Obtain
There are three main ways to get a Priden horse:
Tame in the Wild: Wild Priden horses roam throughout the map, commonly found near rivers and open plains. Approach one and jump on its back to start the horse taming minigame. Move in the opposite direction to where the horse is facing relative to your camera position until the taming bar fills.
Purchase from Stables: Stable vendors in major towns sometimes sell Priden horses for silver. This is the most convenient option but more expensive than taming one yourself.
Steal from NPCs: Priden horses can be stolen from bandits on the road or NPCs in towns. You need to equip a mask before stealing, and be aware that theft increases your bounty.
Base Stats
Stat | Value |
|---|---|
Health | 400 |
Stamina | 195 |
Attack | 10 |
Defense | 60 |
Movement Speed | 1 |
Acceleration | 1 |
Handling | 2 |
Jump Power | 2 |
Priden's base movement speed and acceleration are low, but its handling and jump power are among the best of the standard breeds. These stats improve as you level up the horse through riding, feeding, and caressing.
Skills
Priden learns distinctive skills as it levels up, including High Jump and Double Jump. These abilities make it the best standard horse breed for vertical exploration, letting you reach elevated platforms and cliffside paths that other breeds struggle with. Additional skills include Dash, Sprint, Drift, and Water Sprint.
Best Use Cases
Priden is the ideal horse for players who spend a lot of time exploring mountainous regions. The Silver Wolf Mountain area, Steel Mountains, and the cliffs of Pailune all benefit from Priden's superior jumping capabilities. For flat terrain speed, Brianto or the legendary Royler are better choices.
Horse Challenges
Priden is one of the four tamable horse breeds required for the Harmonious Hooves horse challenge. To complete this challenge, you must ride all four tamable breeds (including Priden) for over 100 meters each.
Tips
Priden's High Jump skill is especially useful for reaching Abyss Cresset locations on elevated platforms.
If you plan to explore Pailune extensively, taming a Priden early saves a lot of climbing time.
Equip horseshoes and saddles from stables to offset Priden's lower base speed and stamina.
Wild Priden horses are most commonly found near rivers and in open plains areas.
