THE WILD HUNT IN SCOR: HOW TO UNLOCK THREE COVETED BASILISK MOUNTS FOR FREE IN DIABLO IV: LORD OF HATRED
🚨 STOP SPENDING MONEY IN THE SHOP: UNLOCK THREE OF THE COOLEST BASILISK MOUNTS IN DIABLO IV FOR ABSOLUTELY FREE! 🚨
Blizzard has quietly hidden three jaw-dropping, exotic Basilisk mounts inside the dense jungles and mysterious islands of the new Scorregion in Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred—and none of them require a single cent from your wallet! But players are already losing their minds, hitting a frustrating roadblock that leaves them permanently stuck at 19 out of 20 side quests and 65 out of 67 area exploration! 👇
What is the hidden “Blood in the Water” fishing trick you must exploit to trigger the secretive ‘Brine and Blood’ questline, why are rushed players accidentally leaving the rare ‘Featherless Bite’ mount lying on the ground disguised as trash loot, and what is the current “No Island Unturned” bug that is completely blocking the Amazonian Charge mount?
Get the absolute step-by-step blueprint to track, fish, and unlock these beastly mounts before everyone else! 🔥 👉
In the relentless endgame of Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred, high-tier cosmetics and mounts are typically the domain of the microtransaction-heavy Tejal’s Shop. However, with the launch of the new Scor region (often referred to as Scor Wars by the community), Blizzard Entertainment has thrown a massive bone to completionists and Solo Self-Found (SSF) players.
Hidden within the dense, hostile environments of the new territory are three stunning, giant Basilisk mounts—the Turquoise Tracker, the Featherless Bite, and the Amazonian Charge. These prehistoric-looking, scale-bound beasts are completely free to unlock, requiring no real-world money.
Yet, as players flock to Scor to add these monsters to their stables, they are hitting major roadblocks. Cryptic quest designs, hidden drop-tables, and a highly frustrating exploration achievement bug have left the community scrambling for answers. Prominent Diablo IV guide creator DcSK has recently mapped out the exact requirements to claim these mounts, exposing both the hidden steps and the current glitches plaguing the hunt.
Mount 1: The Turquoise Tracker (The 20-Quest Scor Completion)
The most visually striking of the trio, the Turquoise Tracker—boasting a brilliant jade-colored hide—is tied directly to the completion of all 20 side quests in the Scor region.
While a typical zone completion simply involves chasing blue exclamation points on the map, Scor’s quest design is notoriously gated. Theorycrafters highly advise players to clear all three Strongholds in Scor first, as several questlines are physically locked until these regional hubs are liberated.
However, the main source of frustration is that thousands of players are finding themselves permanently stuck at 19 out of 20 side quests, unable to find the final trigger. According to analysis, this is almost always caused by two highly elusive, missable questlines:
1. The Chronicle of Creation Puzzle
This massive, region-wide puzzle chain revolves around 30 Chronicle Statues scattered throughout Scor. Each location requires the player to manually rotate a leaf mechanism and an inner statue until their elemental light beams align directly with a nearby weather shrine. Completing all 30 statues is mandatory to progress the overarching “Chronicle of Creation” questline.
2. The Brine and Blood “Missing Arm” Quest
This is the single most missed quest in the expansion because it features zero map markers to start. To initiate it, players must travel to the southeast coast of Felas and seek out a hidden, active fishing pool characterized by churning water, known as “Blood in the Water.”
Players must fish at this specific pool until they bait out and slay elite Kraken heads. These monsters carry a random chance to drop a unique quest starter item called the Chewed Arm. Picking up the Chewed Arm is the only way to trigger and log the “Brine and Blood” quest in the journal. Once the quest is active, players can easily follow the standard markers to complete it, securing the elusive 20/20 completion mark and unlocking the Turquoise Tracker.
Mount 2: The Featherless Bite (The Hidden Trash-Loot Trap)
For players looking for a more straightforward grind, the pale, eerie-looking Featherless Bite mount is the easiest to acquire—yet it features a dangerous user-error trap that has caused many rushed players to lose the reward entirely.
The mount is a guaranteed reward for completing a specific, multi-part side quest titled “A Glimpse at Good Fortune.” This questline initiates in the barren wastes of Fool’s Quarry, where players must eavesdrop on an argument between two NPCs named Tails and Corina.
Once the dialogue is triggered, the questline unfolds naturally. However, upon completing the final objective, the Featherless Bite mount does not automatically unlock in the stables. Instead, it physical drops onto the ground as an item.
“Do not ignore the item on the ground,” DcSK warned in his breakdown of the quest. “The mount item drops with white-colored text. Because it’s white, it can easily look like a normal piece of trash gear or common salvage if you are rushing through the zone. Make sure you manually pick it up and use it directly from your inventory to bind it to your stable.”
Players who teleport away or log out before picking up the white-text item have reported having to wait for the quest to reset or filing support tickets to reclaim their hard-earned beast.
Mount 3: The Amazonian Charge (The 65/67 Exploration Glitch)
The final mount, the muscular and aggressive Amazonian Charge, is currently the source of massive community outrage.
On paper, unlocking the Amazonian Charge requires players to complete the regional exploration achievement titled “No Island Unturned.” This achievement mandates that players fully map out and reveal every single coordinate, coastline, and island within the Scor/Scor Wars territory.
Under normal circumstances, players would simply finish the Lord of Hatred campaign, obtain their mount, and systematically run along the borders of the fog of war to reveal the entire map.
However, the “No Island Unturned” achievement is currently severely bugged. A massive portion of the player base—regardless of platform—is finding their exploration counter permanently frozen at 65 out of 67 areas explored, even after cross-referencing maps and confirming they have stood in every single cave and corner of the region.
“A lot of players are stuck at 65 out of 67 areas explored,” DcSK explained. “If you have already explored everything and still don’t have the mount, you didn’t miss some secret cave or hidden island. The achievement itself is bugged, and we are simply waiting on a patch fix from Blizzard.”
The community is urging Blizzard to deploy a hotfix for “No Island Unturned” in the upcoming weekly maintenance, as the Amazonian Charge is currently considered a “ghost mount” that is mathematically impossible to obtain for affected accounts.
The Verdict: Sanctuary’s New Stable
Despite the bugs and cryptic fishing requirements, the community has highly praised Blizzard’s inclusion of high-quality, free-to-earn mount models. In previous seasons, unique mount skeletons like the Basilisk were strictly locked behind premium shop bundles.
“The fact that we can get a jade-colored Basilisk just by doing a fishing quest and some statue puzzles is a huge step in the right direction,” wrote one highly upvoted user on r/diablo4. “Now, they just need to fix the exploration tracker so I can finally ride my Amazonian Charge.”
Until the achievement patch drops, players are highly encouraged to wrap up their 20 Scor side quests, secure their “Chewed Arm” from the coasts of Felas, and ensure they keep a sharp eye out for white-colored loot drops in Fool’s Quarry. The stables of Sanctuary are waiting.
