Just like other open-world MMORPGs on the market, Lost Ark features a mounting system that helps you traverse the vast in-game landscapes much faster than simply walking around like some sort of lowly peasant. One of the unique mounts you can get in Lost Ark is the Turtle mount, and to own one, you need to complete a rather lengthy quest. Here’s where and how you can find it.

Lost Ark: How to Get the Turtle Mount

  • First and foremost, reach level 50 to unlock the “The Turtle and the Boy” questline.
  • Reach Turtle Island by ship. It is located between Annika and Tortoyk.
  • As you enter the island, look for a turtle with a purple quest exclamation point near the entrance. Start the “The Turtle and the Boy” Questline.
  • This is gonna be a long fetch quest. The best way to do it is to work on it while finishing the Main Quests.
  • Once you’ve completed the “The Turtle and the Boy” Questline, you will acquire a Jewel Coral item.
  • Exchange the Jewel Coral to a Luxury Goods Merchant in any major city for one of the Turtle mounts:
  • Yellow Moss Turtle.
  • or Azure Moss Turtle.
