Torrent

Torrent is a horse in and the player's mount.

Obtaining
One can acquire Torrent after finding 3 Sites of Grace. After the third, Melina will give the Spectral Steed Whistle which can then be used to summon Torrent.

Abilities
Besides allowing a player to get around relatively quickly, Torrent also doesn't appear to take fall damage from certain heights. This allows one to easily jump down from heights that'd normally kill the player as long as they're mounted on Torrent. That said, Torrent isn't immune to too high of a height: even if double jump is used to get to a lower level, if it's too high up, Torrent will dissipate on landing and the player will die from the impact.

Players can also fight from horseback against enemies, such as casting spells.
