How to Get the Goat Skull Mount in Terraria 1.4

In Terraria 1.4, players have access to a variety of new mounts, one of which is the Goat Skull. This ominous mount summons a rideable demonic goat, which not only looks brutal but also provides fantastic mobility with its double jump feature. Here’s how you can get your hands on this mount!

What is the Goat Skull Mount?

• Item Type: Mount
• Rarity: Red-Orange
• Tooltip: “Summons a rideable death goat mount. ‘Brutal!'”
• Abilities:
  • Double jump
  • Deals summon damage to enemies when moving at high speeds
  • Reduces fall damage by 80%

This mount is a fantastic tool for exploration, offering speed and agility, especially for navigating the world’s more treacherous areas.

How to Obtain the Goat Skull

The Goat Skull mount is not an item you can simply craft or buy—it’s a drop from the Wall of Flesh boss in the Underworld, but there are a few key details to keep in mind:

1. Defeat the Wall of Flesh in Master Mode:
   • The Wall of Flesh is the key to unlocking the Goat Skull. You will need to defeat it while playing in Master Mode, which significantly increases the difficulty of the fight.
   • To summon the Wall of Flesh, you need a Guide Voodoo Doll, which is dropped by Voodoo Demons in the Underworld. Once you’ve obtained one, throw it into lava to summon the Wall of Flesh.
2. Drop Rate:
   • The Goat Skull has a 25% drop chance, meaning you may need to defeat the Wall of Flesh multiple times to get the mount. It’s recommended to farm the Wall of Flesh repeatedly for the best chance of getting the Goat Skull.
3. Farming Efficiency:
   • To maximize your efficiency, gather multiple Guide Voodoo Dolls before heading into the Underworld. This way, you can keep summoning and fighting the Wall of Flesh without needing to return to the surface to gather more dolls.
   • As a reminder, you will need to be in Master Mode for the Goat Skull to drop, so be prepared for a tough fight.

How to Use the Goat Skull Mount

Once you have the Goat Skull, you can summon it by using the item from your inventory. Here’s what you can expect from the mount:

• Double Jump: The Goat Skull grants the ability to double jump, allowing for better control in mid-air. This makes it incredibly useful for exploring vertical spaces and avoiding dangerous terrain.
• Damage Boost: The mount deals summon damage to enemies when traveling at high speeds. This means it’s not just a useful transportation tool—it’s also an offensive asset when zipping around hostile areas.
• Reduced Fall Damage: The Goat Skull reduces fall damage by 80%, which can be a lifesaver when navigating difficult terrain or exploring large, deep areas like caverns or the Underworld.

The Goat Skull mount is one of the many exciting additions in the Terraria 1.4 update. While its drop rate is relatively low, its unique features, such as the double jump and reduced fall damage, make it a great item to add to your collection. Whether you’re fighting the Wall of Flesh for the first time or farming it repeatedly, this mount is definitely worth the effort!
