Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Ikran: How to get, find, & fly
To find and bond with an Ikran in Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, you will first need to progress through some sections of the initial main campaign. More specifically, you will have to progress through the main story until you reach the quest “Take Flight”. Completing this quest is all you have to do to obtain an Ikran and fly it. So, head over to the Ikran Rookery which lies to the south of the Home Tree. To reach the top, you have to use your platforming skills and overcome the challenges. Keep an eye out for all the available items and loot them along your way to the top of the Rookery. Once at the Rookery, the Ikran will tease you a couple of times; on the third attempt, after you have shut its mouth, the bond will be successfully secured by soothing the creature. Now, you will be given the option to name it and change its body patterns. And just like that, you have your Ikran bonded to you!
Once bonded with an Ikran, players can seamlessly call their mount by pressing the designated key/button. On a keyboard, you can do so by pressing the H key. While using a controller, you will need to press the D-pad Up button. Anyhow, you will be prompted to press the corresponding key while doing the quest. The controls are simple: normal A/D movement keys to steer left and right, and then W/S keys for accelerating and decelerating. The Ikran can be summoned to land when called from the ground, or you can even call it when falling.
Once you get hold of controlling your Ikran, you will be able to control the Ikran’s speed, hover in place, and perform mid-air jumps, offering versatility in exploration and combat. For a deeper connection with the Ikran, you can interact with your mount on the ground, petting them for affection. And there is also a skill tree called “Memories of the Rider”. This tree has various skills and abilities related to your Ikran, which will make your beast even stronger in the air.
With the instructions given above, you should be able to find and bond with your Ikran with a bit of effort. Anyway, we hope this guide was helpful.
