PoE 2: How to Get and Use the Rhoa Mount

Movement in Path of Exile 2 is everything. Whether you're farming maps for loot, pushing through tough encounters, or simply trying to reach the next boss arena, getting around quickly can make a massive difference in efficiency and survivability. While traditional movement skills like Dash, Flame Dash, and Leap Slam still exist, Path of Exile 2 introduces something new and exciting: mounts.

The most iconic mount revealed so far is the Rhoa Mount, a fast, dinosaur-like beast that allows you to cover ground at incredible speeds. More than just a mobility option, the Rhoa even contributes in combat, making it one of the most versatile late-game skills. This guide will walk you through how to unlock it, and how to use it effectively.

How to Unlock the Rhoa Mount

Unlike flasks or other movement skills you can pick up early, the Rhoa Mount is designed as a late-game ability. To use it, you must meet very specific requirements:

Tier: 14

Level Requirement: 58

Dexterity Requirement: 151

Reservation: 60 Spirit

Attribute Scaling: None for Strength or Intelligence

Because the mount requires such high Dexterity and Spirit reservation, you'll generally finish the main story campaign before unlocking it. By this point, you'll likely be farming maps and pushing into the endgame, which is exactly where a mount like the Rhoa shines.

If you're planning ahead for your build, it's worth noting that the Rhoa Mount is located under the Bow skill tree. This makes it more accessible to Ranger archetypes, although other Dexterity-based builds can still meet the requirements with proper gearing or passive investment.

How to Summon and Use the Rhoa Mount

Once unlocked, the Rhoa Mount is used like any other skill gem or passive ability: simply assign it to your hotbar and activate it. The moment you summon the Rhoa, your character mounts the creature, granting you faster travel speed and new mobility options.

Combat Advantages

While riding, you can continue using ranged bow or spear skills without penalty. Unlike some games where mounted combat feels clunky, Path of Exile 2 integrates the Rhoa seamlessly into your character's gameplay loop. You can keep kiting enemies, fire off barrages of arrows, or throw spears while maintaining the full mobility bonus of the mount.

This makes the Rhoa particularly powerful for glass-cannon builds that need to stay on the move while dealing damage. Instead of stopping to attack and risking incoming hits, you can strafe and fire continuously.

Companion Mode

Another unique feature of the Rhoa is that once you dismount, the creature doesn't disappear. Instead, it stays by your side and fights like a companion, automatically targeting and attacking enemies in the area. This dual functionality means you're not just getting a speed boost, you're essentially summoning an additional ally to help you clear packs.

For solo players, this extra bit of support can mean the difference between getting swarmed and surviving tough encounters. It also synergizes well with builds that lack strong minion support, providing some breathing room in combat.

Weaknesses and Risks

Of course, the Rhoa Mount isn't invincible. While it offers mobility and damage, there are trade-offs to keep in mind:

Stagger Meter: When riding the Rhoa, incoming damage contributes to a stagger meter. If the bar fills, you'll be knocked off the mount, stunned, and left vulnerable. For hardcore players, this can lead to devastating outcomes if it happens in the middle of a tough boss fight.

Spirit Reservation: Reserving 60 Spirit is not a small cost. Builds already juggling aura management will need to make room in their resources to keep the Rhoa active. This often means sacrificing another skill or aura, which must be factored into your build planning.

Late Unlock: Because the Rhoa Mount requires level 58 and Tier 14 progression, it won't help you speed through the early campaign. It's strictly an endgame tool.

Final Thoughts

The Rhoa Mount is one of the most exciting late-game additions in Path of Exile 2. It's not just a mobility tool, it's a hybrid between a movement skill and a combat ally, making it unlike anything else in the game. While it does require heavy Dexterity investment and Spirit management, the benefits of speed, combat flexibility, and farming efficiency make it a worthwhile goal for many builds.

For players aiming to maximize their progression and generate more POE 2 Currency, the Rhoa Mount is more than a luxury, it's an investment into faster farming and safer exploration. As Path of Exile 2 continues to expand its systems, mounts like the Rhoa may redefine how players approach endgame efficiency.
