Need Torrent, Elden Ring's spectral steed? Learn how to get the Spectral Steed Whistle from Melina by resting at Sites of Grace. Summon your mount and explore the Lands Between!

Alright, Tarnished! So you're looking to get around the Lands Between a bit faster, huh? That's smart thinking. The game's huge, and walking everywhere will take forever. Luckily, Elden Ring gives you a trusty steed named Torrent, and getting him is actually pretty straightforward. It all comes down to meeting a specific Maiden.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Find Three Sites of Grace: Melina will only appear to you when you've rested at a Site of Grace for the third time. You can do this by finding three separate Sites of Grace and resting at each one. Alternatively, you can just rest at the same Site of Grace three times in a row. The guide mentions resting at The First Step, the Church of Elleh, and the Gatefront Site of Grace as a good early route.
  2. 2
    Meet Melina: After your third rest at a Site of Grace, Melina will approach you. She's the key to getting your horse.
  3. 3
    Accept Her Offer: Melina will offer to be your Maiden. While you can technically decline, you'll want to accept her proposal if you want Torrent.
  4. 4
    Receive the Spectral Steed Whistle: Upon accepting her offer, Melina will gift you the Spectral Steed Whistle. This is the item you'll use to summon Torrent whenever you need him.
Tips
  • You can equip the Spectral Steed Whistle to your quick tools pouch for easy access. Just press Up on the D-Pad to cycle through your items and select it.
  • Once you have Torrent, you can summon him pretty much anywhere in the open world. Just use the whistle!
  • Riding Torrent isn't just for fast travel. You can also fight from his back, and he has a double jump! Hitting the jump button twice while mounted lets you scale tricky terrain and ruins much more easily. It's super useful for exploration and escaping danger.
  • If you initially decline Melina's offer, don't sweat it. You can change your mind later. Just rest at any Site of Grace and talk to her to accept her proposal.
  • Having Melina as your Maiden also allows you to level up your character and progress the main story, so it's a good idea to accept her offer sooner rather than later.
