Exploring a huge MMO world on foot gets old fast. In Aion 2, your pets double as mounts, and collecting them also boosts your character. If you follow MMO and gaming guides on Technosports, here’s a simple walkthrough of how to build your collection in the sequel to Aion.

Mounts in Aion 2: Ways to Unlock Pets
| Method | How It Works | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Pet Souls | Defeat monsters and collect their Souls | Free |
| Black Cloud Merchant | Buy pets directly from the shop | Kina |
| Hidden Cubes | Open cubes for random rare pets or souls | Keys |
1. Farm Pet Souls (Free)
Pets are alternate versions of the monsters you meet across the world. Defeating them drops their Soul, and collecting enough unlocks that creature as a pet. Many guides list around 10 souls as the usual requirement for common creatures. Open your Pets menu, choose a target and check its Source tab to see where it spawns. Once you have the required souls, select the pet and equip it.
2. Buy From the Black Cloud Merchant
If you’d rather skip the grind, you can buy pets from the Black Cloud Merchant using Kina. It’s a handy shortcut when you have currency to spare, and it works well for creatures that are tedious to farm.
3. Open Hidden Cubes
Hidden Cubes are scattered across the map and give random loot, which can include rare pets. They cost much more than regular pets, though, so treat them as a bonus rather than a main strategy.
Pro Tips for Collectors
- Don’t expect the menu at the start: The Pets tab unlocks in the early story, around level 11.
- Explore during quests: Story quests take you to new areas where you can find more pets.
- Check dungeons: Souls for many pets and mounts drop only in dungeons.
- Keep farming: Collecting more souls of the same type levels a pet up.
Why It’s Worth the Grind?
With over 150 pets and mounts in the game, maxing them all takes time. But each pet has special effects that add to your overall power, so every unlock helps. Want more MMO tips? Browse our latest gaming guides.
