How to Get a Pet in Diablo 4?

For those of you who’ve been lucky enough to play the Diablo 4 beta and reach Level 20, you’re in for a treat. You have the exclusive opportunity to get your hands on the only pet currently in the game – the adorable Wolf Pup. If you didn’t play the beta, unfortunately, you’re out of luck for now. But don’t fret, we suspect more pet options will be introduced in future updates.
Here’s how to get a pet in Diablo 4:
- Create your character and complete the prologue.
- Make your way to Kyovashad — first town in the game — and open your map.
- Find the Dresser Icon and go there. You will find your Wardrobe.
- Open it and select the Armor tab.
- Here, you’ll find the Back Trophy option. Select the Beta Wolf Pack prize.
Don’t forget to select Confirm Look to save your outfit before you exit the wardrobe. You’ve now got a way-to-sweet Wolf Pup for a Sanctuary. But maybe Lilith would love it too. Remember, this pet is exclusively for those who reached Level 20 in the beta. But keep your eyes peeled for future updates, as we’re sure there’ll be more pet options coming your way.

How to Unlock Spirit Animals in Diablo 4?
Unlocking Spirit Animals in Diablo 4 requires a bit of druidic prowess.

At the end of this quest, you’ll have the chance to choose your first Spirit Animal. Will it be a Wolf, Deer, Snake, or Eagle? Each has its own unique abilities, so pick the one that fits your playstyle like a glove.
Does Diablo 4 Have Mounts?
Yes, Diablo 4 does have mounts. But before you can gallop across Sanctuary, you’ll need to complete the first three acts of the main story. Your first mount can be obtained by completing the Donan’s Favor quest at the start of the fourth act – A Gathering Storm. No matter how high your level, you won’t be able to get your hands on a horse until you’ve finished acts 1-3.
