11Overview22Traversing the open world of Roco Kingdom: World is a core part of the gameplay experience. The game requires three distinct mount types to fully explore the Kaluoxi'a Continent: land mounts, water mounts, and air mounts. Early in the game (before approximately level 26 to 30), players must walk everywhere on foot. There is no mount or fast travel available during the first several hours, so the opening stretch of exploration is entirely pedestrian. As the main story progresses, mounts become available through captures, evolution, and quest rewards, gradually opening up the full range of movement options.44Every rideable Spirit has unique riding animations based on its species, giving each mount a distinct personality and feel. Some spirits carry you on their back, others hold you in their arms, and a few even let you sit on top of their head. Spirits that are too small to carry the player use a charming reversal mechanic: instead of the player riding the spirit, the spirit rides on the player, perching on their shoulder, nestling in their arms, or floating alongside them. Each small spirit has its own positioning and idle animations.66Three Mount Types88Roco Kingdom: World divides its mount system into three categories based on terrain. Unlocking all three mount types is essential for reaching every area on the world map.1010Flying Mounts1212Flying mounts grant the greatest freedom of movement, allowing players to soar above the landscape and reach areas that are completely inaccessible on foot. The entry-level flying mount, the Winter Sparrow (冬羽雀), is given to the player near the start of the game as a starter reward. This keeps that basic aerial exploration is available early. It evolves into the Storm Bird (岚鸟) at level 30, which is essential for reaching elevated and flying areas.1414MountChinese NameHow to ObtainSpeed / StatsKey FeaturesWinter Sparrow冬羽雀Given as starter reward at the beginning of the gameBase flying speed; low stamina consumptionEntry-level flying mount.

While they lack the vertical freedom of flying mounts, land mounts tend to have higher raw ground speed and additional combat utility.1919MountChinese NameHow to ObtainSpeed / StatsKey FeaturesSound Speed Dog (Sonic Hound)音速犬Evolves from Guardian Dog at level 26; early game acquisition180 base speed; +50% after evolution (270)First land mount most players obtain.

They are essential for accessing underwater caves, tidal zones at Obestan Lake, and the hidden Moon Rabbit Dark Harbor.2424MountChinese NameHow to ObtainKey FeaturesDuck Jiji鸭吉吉Obtained through early main story; required capture using stun mechanicsThe first water mount most players obtain.

Every rideable spirit has its own set of mount animations that reflect its body type and personality. Some carry the player on their back, others cradle the player in their arms, and certain spirits even allow the player to sit on top of their head. The variety of riding positions means that switching between different mounts is not just a practical choice; it is a visual and emotional experience that changes how the game feels moment to moment.3434For smaller spirits that cannot physically carry the player, the game introduces the reverse riding mechanic. Instead of the player mounting the spirit, the spirit perches on the player's shoulder, nestles in their arms, or floats alongside them. Each small spirit has unique positioning and idle animations while being carried, adding personality regardless of size.3636Gliding System3838The gliding traversal system is available to all players and does not require a specific spirit or item to use. When the player jumps from a high point, they can deploy a glider to coast through the air. The system functions similarly to gliding mechanics found in games like Genshin Impact, providing intuitive air traversal from the moment it becomes available.4040Gliding is the primary method for crossing wide gaps between cliffs, descending safely from mountain peaks, and covering horizontal distance without a flying mount. While it does not provide the same freedom as full flight, it is a reliable tool for vertical traversal and is available well before players unlock flying mounts.4242Compass Mode and Fast Travel4444Compass mode is a navigation feature that displays all teleport points within 200 meters of the player's current location. Activating compass mode overlays directional markers on the screen pointing toward nearby fast-travel obelisks, making it easy to find the nearest teleportation point without opening the full map. This is particularly useful in dense or maze-like areas where the minimap alone may not provide enough guidance.4646Fast travel points are scattered across the world map as glowing obelisks. Once discovered and activated, a fast travel point allows instant teleportation from anywhere on the map. The Magic Academy is the central hub of the fast travel network, connecting all major regions through teleport arrays. Map Mode provides a full overview of discovered points and regions for planning routes.4848Co-Riding with Friends5050Some mounts support co-riding with friends in multiplayer. Dual-person mounts allow one player to steer while the other rides along. These co-ride mounts are unlocked through multiplayer progression milestones and provide a tangible reward for social play. When riding together, players can trigger hidden story easter eggs and explore areas as a coordinated pair.5252Environmental Awareness5454Spirits are not merely passive companions while exploring. They exhibit weather-reactive behaviors that bring the world to life. During rainstorms, spirits may seek shelter under trees or rock overhangs. On clear, sunny days, they bask in the warmth and display relaxed idle animations. These behaviors add a layer of immersion that makes the spirits feel like living creatures.5656The day-night cycle also influences exploration in meaningful ways. Dark-attribute creatures only appear at night, making nighttime expeditions essential for players who want to complete their spirit collection. Riding mounts unlock access to entirely new areas: water surfaces for aquatic mounts, flying gaps for aerial mounts, and elevated ledges for double-jump land mounts like Ulata.5858See Also6060Spirits - Complete guide to all spirits in the gameWorld Map and Locations - Regions, biomes, and points of interestMultiplayer and Social Features - Co-op exploration and social systemsMain Story - Storyline walkthrough and narrative detailsSpirit Kings - Legendary spirits including Holy Feather Wing King
