What to know
- Locate goats on a distinct island away from the starting area, in a high-level zone amid rocky high ground.
- Defeat individual goats, which have low health but spawn in groups—avoid fighting the whole herd at once.
- Each kill drops one or two horns on the ground nearby; check thoroughly after each defeat.
- Use horns at the alchemical station for crafting important recipes.
Mountain Goat Horns provide essential crafting potential in Windrose, obtained by hunting specific wildlife in challenging terrain.

Key hunting location
Head to the separate island—not the main starting one—where rocky high ground and elevated biomes host these goats commonly.
Prepare gear for the high-level threats in this area before venturing out.
Find and hunt mountain goats for Mountain Goat Horn
Approach the island carefully, scanning elevated rocky areas for goat groups. Isolate one goat at a time using ranged attacks to pull it away, preventing the herd from overwhelming you.
Step 1
Travel to the distinct island separate from the starting main land; confirm you’re in the high-level zone with tougher enemies.
Step 2
Climb to high ground and rocky outcrops where goats commonly spawn in groups across the biome.
Step 3
Spot a single goat and engage it from range to separate it from the pack; they have very low health, so quick strikes work best.
Step 4
Defeat the goat and immediately search the ground around its body for dropped horns—one or even two may appear.
Step 5
Repeat the process, always isolating targets to avoid the full group attack, which can prove difficult even for prepared players.
Step 6
Collect horns into your inventory, clearing space beforehand if needed, as they stack as vital alchemical items.
Rewards from mountain goat hunts
| Kill Outcome | Horns Dropped | Additional Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single goat defeat | 1-2 horns | Check ground thoroughly; low health makes kills fast |
| Group avoidance | N/A | Isolating prevents multi-goat difficulty spike |
| Multiple hunts | Accumulates quickly | Common spawns allow repeated farming in biome |
This item stands out for its role in alchemical recipes at the station, enabling upgrades that enhance gameplay in high-level zones—hunt strategically to build a steady supply.
