First, there were warriors who yolked their horses to chariots, firing arrows and hurling lances at their enemies while a charioteer steered them around enemy formations this style of combat seen in Bronze Age-set video games lingers on through national epics such as the Illiad, the Mahabharata, and The Tain, featuring demigod heroes such as Achilles, Cu Chulainn, and Arjuna who fight off entire armies alongside a faithful charioteer, a trusty team of horses, and a chariot stocked full of weapons. After horses were bred with the strength and size to carry humans into battle, chariot-riding heroes gave way to warriors who fought on horseback, using blankets, reins, shaped saddles, and stirrups to keep themselves mounted. The history of horse-mounted combat is a tumultuous one, with the tactics, equipment, and martial values of militant equestrians changing from era to era.

This lets players explore treacherous environments in the open-world, then "put away" their horse without fear of losing it. The horse-riding gameplay seen in the Elden Ring Network Test is a mix of realistic and unrealistic features, each implemented in order to make roaming and fighting on horseback a fun and balanced experience. To start with, the "Spectral Steed" players can summon (a shaggy horse with horns called Torrent) can be summoned and dismissed using a key item and can double-jump in the air. Elden Ring's new horse-riding mechanics have finally given fans of FromSoftware RPGs the chance to use these weapons and armor sets for their intended purpose and even, potentially, drawn on cavalry tactics from the pre-modern world to improve their playing skills. Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and other previous FromSoftware "Soulslikes" have always given their players medieval weapons and armor sets closely associated with European Knights, Japanese Samurai, and other equestrian warriors. In the last Network Test for Elden Ring, FromSoftware's newest dark fantasy RPG, a lucky few players learned how to explore the game's open world on horseback and fight enemies in mounted combat.
