Visions of Mana: How to Dismount Pikul (& How to Summon)

Players will encounter a character named Meelpa as they work through the first chapter of Visions of Mana. During this encounter, fans will receive the Beckon Bell, an item that can be used to summon a Pikul mount. While controlling this mount is not extremely difficult, some players may be confused about how to get off their Pikul mounts in Visions of Mana, and this guide is here to alleviate that confusion.

Visions of Mana: How to Get Off Pikul

Players who want to dismount Pikul should simply hold K on a keyboard, hold Square on a PlayStation controller, or hold X on an Xbox controller. Indeed, the selected party member will get off their mount after one of those inputs has been held for just a moment, and they will then be free to continue exploring on foot.

To note, players can open chests, interact with Elementite, and perform a variety of other actions while they are mounted. There are some things, like initiating battles, that cannot be done from the back of a Pikul, though, and fans of party-based RPGs may find themselves dismounting frequently while exploring. Fortunately, that should not cause any problems for players who have read the preceding paragraph, and it should not take long for the process of dismounting to become second nature.

Visions of Mana: How to Summon Pikul

While it is expected that most readers will already know how to summon their mounts, a few words about the process may prove to be useful. Quite simply, players must use the Beckon Bell, a Key Item that they received when Meelpa gave them their mount. Notably, this item is automatically assigned to one of the shortcut wheels, and action RPG fans can access it by pressing the input that appears under the circle in the bottom-right corner of the screen and then pressing the input that appears next to the Beckon Bell.

Players can also assign the bell to their ring menu or another shortcut wheel if they would prefer to access it differently. To do this, fans of the Mana series must simply navigate to the Items menu, select the Key Items tab, and highlight the Beckon Bell. Players can then select the item and assign it to their preferred ring menu or shortcut slot.
