Drops from Yogg-Saron in 25-player mode if you have no Keepers assisting you, and as of 4.0.3a (a.k.a. Cataclysm) has a very low drop chance (previously 100%)
In the 10man version, the "equivalent" is Vanquished Clutches of Yogg-Saron.

This is a very fast head, indeed!

Innuendo for other than me? ...

Comment by zelinda

My first thought too, sir.

Comment by Nogrid

Finally, a true roflcopter.

Comment by Forestman

I mean, I'm just saying that Yogg-Saron gives fast heads is all.

When no one is watching.

Comment by B00MkaB00M

is that all people think about these days?

edit: not everyone, but when i see something that could quite possibly be related to sex, i dismiss it. But when people point it out its kind of sad.

Comment by Antifaith

ok no joke, is this seriously an obtainable mount in the game?

cuz flying heads are ftw! D:

edit: Just did a bit more research. Flying head is in game, engaging 25m Ulduar farm.

double edit: No seriously, this is the coolest mount ever.

My roflcopter goes Soi Soi Soi Soi Soi

Comment by Shoat

Too bad it doesn't look good. In fact it's pretty ugly.

Compared to the way easier to get Arena Frostwyrms, this is a pitiful reward for doing 25 man Alone in the Dark, even the Rusted/Iron Protodrakes (also way easier to get) are far more awesome then an ugly gnome head.

Wow,it's a Head!

I dont know why...but Steve Urkel comes to mind when I look at this.

Oh come on, really? you people have no scene of humor.

Comment by twinz

In the Old Norse mythology, Mimir (Mimiron) was renowned for his knowledge and wisdom who was beheaded during the Æsir-Vanir War.

Odin took Mimir's head, stuffed it with herbs and spoke charms to it. It became one of his great artifacts, that had the ability to foretell the future.

Comment by tarunloko

This is a very fast... head

That's what she said

Comment by Reanok

reminds me of robotnik's eggomatic hovercraft :S

Comment by casull

I'm curious as to why that raid even had free for all loot on anyway when they knew that the mount would drop.... >_>

Comment by zakarthur

Yes, They went there.

Comment by Effectrix

Tauren finally get their gnome mount.

Comment by Praiseworthy

the guy's name in that video u linked Humanenemy, his name is Teryal, blood elf rogue, he plays on the Illidan server

During a run of 25man Ulduar, him and his former guild decided to do yogg saron with out using any help from any of the npcs

now, as most of the raid members knew, a funny looking mount drops, every time

i will admit, the raid leader must have been a freakin HUGE noob to have loot on free for all when he knew something like this would drop

my guess is, the raid leader was planning to do the same thing Teryal did, he was prolly just planning to do it after all the loot had been rolled for or something

personally, i think this mount looks freakin stupid, like srsly, why would u ninja this? idc how much u hate the people u were with, ur gonna hate the mount more, unless u like fast head i guess

and go to Teryal's wowarmory page, ull see he's not in a guild anymore, he was kicked from vent, and the guild too

there was 3 mistakes in that

1: the nooby raid leader put it on freakin free for all

2: the noob actually freakin ninja'd this piece of crap mount, maybe if it was a 350% and was a multi passenger flying mount that had an animation that screamed "Self destruct initiated!" or something... then MAYBE it would almost be remotely close to being worth ninja'ing and being banned from vent and your guild that can clear ulduar any time they want

3: what king of retard puts a video showing HE ninja'd something like that, ive seen so many of those kind of videos, and i swear to god, you must have like no life if u have enough NERD RAGE to ninja a gay looking crappy mount like that

wow

im sorry

but

i have to do this

FAAIIILLLLBBBBBOOOOOOAAAAAAATTTTTTTT!

Comment by ignatusfordon

Is it just me, or does this mount remind anyone of bowsers clown copter from super mario world?

Comment by D558

Coolest mount ever

Comment by barda24

Hehe. As of having looted this item my guild mates refer to me as 'Lucky Bastard'. And first time I came to Krasus Landing, all of the people just standing around showing off their proto-drakes, spammed me with whispers as soon as I used this. I didn't have time to catch all they said, but there were a lot of WTF is that?, Where the Hell did you get that?, and just general jealousy.

Comment by 2OfDiamonds

So if you do a good job, you get head?

I'm not sure thats the message they should be sending out..

Comment by Chaff5

Oh I think it's a good message indeed. Let's not get started on the Hodir Dailies.

Yogg is a giant floating mouth... Not sure what you expected.

Comment by emortee

As far as I know it's one of few 310% mounts which are described as "very fast". All other 310% mounts' tooltips read "extremely fast".

Comment by Farfetch

The 310% don't all say that e.g. Violet Proto-Drake and Onyxian Drake, plus this one of course.

Comment by Thegraverobber

It looks like the Owlship (Watchmen) right?

Comment by Jarkeler

Even nowadays, this mount is very hard to come by. Many people are no longer interested in ulduar, and the people who are simply do not have the skill to obtain this. I was playing on my main on Darkspear about two weeks ago when the realm first of Alone in the Darkness was spammed before my eyes. Indeed, this is perhaps THE most unique mount in the game, perhaps even more unique than arena prize mounts from any one season (not combined).

Comment by Mufa1

man i like this mount !

Comment by hieroglyph

actually its Mimirons head, a robot, so you dont have to fear, its not a 'fleshy' mount. :p

Comment by Shmion

This just dropped in my raid last night...
Then I asked myself the question, what do I prefer, the guild, or the mount?

After about three milliseconds I realised the only logical and fair choice was to take the mount, /g Thanks guys, but I don't think this is the guild for me. Then /gquit

Sure I now have to hang-out in a leveling guild as no raiding guild wants me, and when I get down about it, I just remember... I have Mimiron's head... AND THEYYYYY DON'T!

Now I don't approve of ninjaing this item if your guild uses FFA for some stupid reason. But I certainly recommend it! It was the best decision of my life!

Go ahead, thumbs this comment down, make my e-peen bigger knowing... I HAVE MIMIRON'S HEAD AND YOU DON'T!

Also, the "Epic" quality of items is not worthy of this mount. It should be Artifactual, item level 5 bgillion and be vendorable for 50 thousand gold. Seriously, I mean who would vendor this for 50k? I will tell you... Someone who was dropped on their head as a baby!

Comment by bloodsucker91

Calm it down abit there. >.<

Comment by theorcmaster

Grats.You now have a mount in a game that has no effect on your real life whatsoever.In fact make MY e-peen bigger knowing that i have a life that doesnt completely revolve around this mount.

Comment by Chromell

Few things: it's not artifactual, things > epics are called legendary. Also you should have asked youself this question: what do I preffer? Showing off after having ninjaed a mount or showing how much of an ^&*!@#$ I am? Oh wait... you just did both...

Comment by Skornaq

You have mirmirons head..I have friends...

You suffer a deplorable reputation as a ninja and no one wants you..I am happily nestled in my guild..

You seem to think taking a virtual roflcopter was the best decision of your life..

By God ive found the Wowhead equivalent of Gollum!

Why right now I imagine you, crouched over the computer screen in a loincloth, dragging a grubby fingertip over the pixelated head you are mounted in, then going down to your garden pond to catch fish.

Comment by Skornaq

How do you know theyre female? How-How can you possibly begin to speculate?

You seem to be under the illusion that having this head makes you gods gift to women!

I give up. I really do give up. I am going to go and hug my wife who does not have a 75% chance of being a male.

Comment by Chromell

This comment saddens me. Deeply.

Comment by Pigviini

So you left a guild that helped you, just for a mount, that's not even that hard to get without having to ninja it? And knowing that by ninjaing that head everyone on the server would start to hate you, and you still did it? So for you Pixels > Friends... Get a life, dude

Comment by Omarion1

I believe you rolled a Troll, man.

Comment by Arisun

You should have ninja'd actual loot. This mount looks ridiculous, I wouldn't be caught dead on it.

Comment by narshen

i wonder if this will be removed in cata

Comment by Krokaska

Quess what will happen now you said that.

Comment by Teenka

Definetely one of the coolest mounts available along with the phoenix and invincible. Very few people on a realm usually have it as nobody really can be bothered doing full clears of ulduar and even in icc gear this fight requires bit of skill and co-ordination.

Comment by Lurelina

So you traded friends for pixels in a ^&*!ing game?
Congratulations, you just officially lost your life to some game!

Comment by CalaelenDT

This mount will have it's drop chance decreased from 100% to an undetermined, very low drop chance (presumable ~1% like other rare raid mounts such as Ashes of Al'ar) in Patch 4.0.3.

Comment by goticetea

i love this mount

Comment by bogdanepureanu

Starting with 4.0.3a it is no longer a guaranteed drop, but a rare drop (probably drop chance is around 1% as the other rare mounts that drop from raids). :(

Comment by traen

We managed to kill yogg+0 25 with 12 half-epic cataclysm geared people. We used nuke tactics, one bear tank, 3 healers, 8 dps.
Even with huge amount of health and nice cata dps we barely managed to kill him.
This encounter is still extrimely hard.

Comment by n4ru70h4x0r

Now everyone has Mimiron's head AND a Guild.
And you don't/

Comment by Paddydude

Is this still available on the live realms after the shattering?

Comment by Paddydude

Anyone know if this item is still live and is it just a random drop off Yogg Or do you have to do a special hard mode way for it?

Comment by Harson

Perhaps it was "extrimely" hard because you only had 12 people?

Comment by oliveoyle

I don't know if this has been mentioned or not but, anyone else find it odd that this guy drops another guy's head? o.0

Comment by Leat

Just like Kael'thas drops Ashes of Al'ar. Those ashes belong to Al'ar!

Comment by wingzero890

This mount looks stupid. I don't care how rare it is, I would sell it to someone else in the raid if it drops and I won the roll. Sorry but I'd rather fly around in something that isnt eggmans flying machine.

Comment by Pinodude

i complete the achivment "alone in the darkness 25man" like 4 times, but no head drops does anyone know the real drop rate¿?

Comment by aceblade

Someone posted on the Invincible's Reins comment section that its drop rate was reduced to 4%.
I don't know if this is truly what the drop rate is, or if it can be applied to this mount, but you can expect it's low.
STILL, 4% isn't bad considering some of the .08% drops out there.

Comment by UnholyBeef

ROFL.. I wouldn't really call WoW players my friends unless they were the closest things I had to real friends; you have mimirons head..I have friends? Lol your like a geek trying to sound well cool init lad! sound son

But seriously I think that a guy who would ninja mimiron's head would be the best wow player there is cause who gives a @#$% about your reputation with random people on the internet? Just get the most out of WoW instead of thinking about what damage it'll do to your reputation with your online "friends" just do it lad! Damn wish I had the oppurtunity to ninja mimiron's head it'd be classic all the angry nerds whispering me and chasing me in their nerd rage... :')

Oh and by the way, the guy ur so angry about was joking when he wrote that comment. he was joking! so, if he is supposedly "crouched over the computer screen in a loincloth, dragging a grubby fingertip over the pixelated head you are mounted in, then going down to your garden pond to catch fish" then what the !@#$ are you gonna be like? I don't wanna think about it incase I die laughing! Thank you and good night. much loved xD

Comment by Tritachion

Seeing "@#$%" (meaningless row of ascii 01) followed by "!@#$" (meaningless row of ascii 02) always makes it alot easier to click the -1 button.

UnholyBeef

Well.. at least HE did not resort to using leetspeek, somewhat "geeky" abbreviations and swearwords when he wrote his answer.
So.. reciting the figurative speaking of Funden: "Skornaq. Win." its now "2:0" for Skornaq - and he did not even have to reply himself. Now thats commenting in style. :D Oh, and don't bother replying, Beef. I won't read it anyways.

Which brings up a question: CAN you ignore users on wowhead? (I really do not know this right now)

Comment by volver

can you confirm this? can't find a good site anywhere on google that can confirm the drop rate.

Comment by Gprst

As of patch 4.0.3, it is a rare drop, just like all other rare mounts (1%), and I believe it can drop on all modes, 10m or 25m.

Comment by GanondorfTM

For me, its really unfair to have such drop rate, at this moment. I would agree with something between 5-10%, but 1%?
You can get 3 to 5 ppl to do Kael'thas, but to get this, not even with 25 ppl is a granted kill...

Kael'thas is easily puggable, while Yogg 25 isn't (whether you have keepers or not), and you still need to kill all bosses to have the possibility to fight against Yogg...

EDIT: After analysing the wowhead data and also from personal experience, the mount doesn't have at this moment 1%. According to wowhead its around 20% so, gotta keep running until you got yours and hoping they wont change the drop rate sooner (aka in patch 4.1).

Just would like to add the fact that Invincible's Reins has a higher drop rate (around 30%), which makes all sense since its a harder challenge.

EDIT2: I guess is safe to say that it has (around) 1% drop rate now. After 30 attempts (there was 52 kills before 4.1 and 82 after), no mount was registered in the drops. Even if there was 1, it would have 3% drop rate, which is still pretty low, so the drop rate must be nearby.
However, Invincible's Reins has 20% drop rate in this patch. So in 4.2 should be 1%.

EDIT3: Found that, according to blizzard's official Mimiron's Head page, it appeared with a "Medium" drop rate and now with a "High" drop rate (at least for now).

I've been doing Yogg Saron 25 no lights from the past 3 months and nothing has dropped since then. Adding that and the fact that, according with blizzard's initial announcement, it was going to change to a "very low" drop rate, makes no sense to have a high drop rate, since they want that this mount, along with Invincible's Reins to maintain their prestige through their rarity.

So this has to be a mistake for sure.

Comment by deitra

Is it drop yet only on 25m?

Comment by Kaerathas

Due to the change in the way raid lockouts and saves work, I assume that a guild who still wants to farm for these could do the following:

Get a raid together of 1 main and 24 alts, then clear up to and including Vezax. Get rid of the alts and invite the mains back in and then kill Yogg with zero watchers helping. Each week after that, use one of the alts to extend to an instance with only Yogg remaining.

This should save 24 clears of the previous bosses and cut down some time. :)

Comment by LoreMooster

This won't happen. Allow me to explain how raid locks work. You take 25 people into a raid.. you down a boss.. the raid is now locked with a unique ID. So.. say the 24 alts never come back and the main picks up 24 new people. They go in and kill Yogg. If the 24 alts who shared that ID EVER go back in they will find upon entering that Yogg is dead. That raid ID has been used up, and can never again be used. Once you have an ID or lock on a raid you can't piggyback off it and continue once the content is cleared.

Comment by GanondorfTM

I dont think it works that way. That was before. Now, it is about the ppl who killed bosses. So, if I killed mimiron and someone else in the raid killed freya, both bosses wont be available for everyone, on that raid.

So i think theres the possibility to use the alts saved, which gives a total of 24 boss attempts with different members in the raid.

Comment by GanondorfTM

Just to reply that, the post illumine is refering to, its one that I removed already, and not the one above.

Comment by GanondorfTM

Ive made the test on a Excel sheet using the function rand, and by analizing all numbers between 1 and 21, I realized that the worst case was a mount after 10 runs. The best was 1 after another lol. But the average trully is 1 after 5 runs.

Now, the drop may not be guaranteed after 10 runs if blizzard changes the drop rate in 4.1. So, gotta trust in fate and hope it will drop.

Comment by Suntrapper

Lucky for me our guild did our first Yogg No Lights last night ...and it dropped and I won. Been on a good luck streak lately with getting Mim's Head, Rivendare's, Sunstrider's, Red Bug, Rare Fish, and the Legendary bow all in the past 3 weeks.

Comment by AdmiralChaos

5 Runs Guarantess atleast one Mimoron's Head. 10 Runs Guarantess atleast two ect.

This is not how probability works. You could kill 0-Light Yogg several hundred times and still never see the head drop. This is because the ~1% chance for the head to drop is on each individual kill; the chance of seeing it does not increase for each consecutive run. For example, if you are trying to roll a six on a die, the chance to get that face value on each roll will always be 1/6. The likelihood of you having seen the mount will increase, but no amount of runs will give you a 100% guarantee to see the mount.

Comment by Shmiles

Some people here are posting that its a 20% droprate. You do remember it was 100% before cata, and now every time a person with the wowhead addon finds Yogg WITHOUT a mount it just reduces the % drop rate, so eventually it will return to 1% over time.
If anyone has proof or a blue post saying anything other than 1% drop rate, by all means show me.

Just to prove this:
5/5/11 - 18% drop rate. 10 recorded drops from 55 kills. This includes both Cata and Wrath.
x/x/xx - I'll edit this in a week or after another few kills.

Comment by Saphiree

Does anyone have any actual proof of the droprate of Mims head and Invincible? Yes I know Wowhead shows the droprate like 20% or w/e. But I have so many people telling me the drop rate is 1% and wowhead is wrong. I don't know whether to believe Wowhead or the People. >.<

Comment by GanondorfTM

At this point, we dont know anything about the drop rate because a new patch was released (4.1.0) and so, there are no stats yet. However, before that, it was for sure 20%, but everyone goes on the same talk as everyone:"its 1%", and since everyone says that, everyone keeps saying that without get information about it. Some dont know about wowhead so they dont know that this information can be proved.
Since patch 4.1.0 was release, and we dont have at the moment any data, it could be already 1%, but it can also be 20% or between of those numbers. The data that we have are mixed with 4.0.6 and 4.1.0 (only 3 kills I think are from 4.1.0).

No data, no conclusion.

Comment by shonnyboy

Does anyone know if these have a chance to drop in the Satchel of Exotic Mystery?

Comment by Aeryndir

Has wowhead ever lied to you or broke your heart before? :) I'd believe wowhead personally but my server is full of trolls and idiots, myself included :-P

Comment by Goopaz

Ive killed him every week with 0 keepers for the past 3 months, have yet to see the mount drop.

Comment by aceblade

While many raid/dungeon mounts are classified as "extremely low" drop rates, Warcraft's website has this one set to "medium" drop rate. Hmmmm.

Comment by Sockzz

Might be worth pointing out, the item has had its drop rate changed on the official website to 'High'. Not sure if this is an error, or if the drop chance has actually been increased.

Link: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/item/45693#tab=dropCreatures

Comment by Ajial

It's obvious they reduced the mounts so they're equal to other rare mounts, like Raven Lord, Ashes of Al'ar, etc.

Comment by zzmorriss

first week - no drop
second week - mount dropped
third week - no drop

Will let you know future weeks progress as I do this

Comment by huuren

The droprate on this mount is skewed compared to the droprate of Invincible.
The Lich King Heroic 25man loot table is separate from the 25 man normal table, while this mount doesn't have a separate 'hardmode' instance. Basically, every time Yogg is killed and the mount isn't there, regardless of how many keepers were up, will be logged by WoWhead.
The droprate is more around 20% or so.
The 20% droprate on these mounts seems fair, since it still takes much hard work and organization to down Lich King or Yogg heroic 25.

Comment by Nulgar

With so few kills/loots (106 at the moment) the drop chance is nowhere near accurate. Those 10 drops cound be just luck.

You might also want to consider that the Wowhead Client can only register drops correctly when the player actually inspects the boss corpse - roll windows can not be associated with bosses (directly) If the kill/loot count is tied to that as well, there could be many more kills that were not registered, and people only bothered to inspect the corpse when the PM said the mount dropped.

In that vein, it could even be that those 10 registered drops came from one actual drop only: PM: "Hey, the mount's in there!" and 24 other players (or less, considering the level advantage) inspect the corpse, with 10 of those using the Wowhead Client, which sees the mount in the loot window and registers that. Similar train of thought for 2-4 actual drops, maybe only a few players had the Client and inspected the corpse - without PM, even less players actually inspect the corpse, since you see all notable drops in the roll windows.

Comment by Daylis

Dropped on my 8th consecutive Yogg kill. (isn't included in wowhead database)

I'm 2/3 of the way to completing Val'anyr, so i expect i'll do roughly another month of farming. I'll update if another drops in that time.

To all people running serial pug Ulduar 25 runs for whatever reason (really it's either legendary or Head) i strongly suggest implementing a stacking +10 to roll per fully attended raid. Or a similar system that rewards persistence.

Comment by zzmorriss

For some reason my last comment was deleted. I have done 4 yogg kills since change and had the mount drop once so far.

Comment by bojan112

until 4.03 it was guaranteed drop, and then blizzard changed it (not before 4.03) and thats why datas on wowhead and blizzard mount section are *!@#ed up. So yeah this is rare mount with estimated 2-3% drop rate from yogg 25 no watchers kill

Comment by Wilester

The drop rate on this baby is a little messed up, the EU Armory is showing a high drop chance (which changed from medium since the beginning of Cataclysm), and WoWhead is showing two different drop rates ( 4%,5% ).
It dropped from Yogg in 7 kills for my guild though, so I highly doubt either of the databases are right.

Comment by deadpuppies

I have no idea how everyone is getting the thing to drop after a few runs. I keep seeing 1 out of 7 or 10. My group has been doing Uldar 25 achieves and off achieves for 33 weeks pugging a few here and there. We always do the 0 Lights Yogg fight. I have yet to see the thing drop. I have a great group that wont let me give up on farming this mount since I am a collector. What I have done for them is once Mimrons head drops and I equip it I am offering out the tcg rare loot mount "Mottled Drake" for free rolls. They can equip it or sell it. I know I can reserve it for free like almost everyone else but Its a good group and they deserve something at the end of all this. I will keep posting the status of this drop on skullcrusher---So far 0 out of 33 tries with my group :(

Comment by wowZhenek

I've got an alt saved to yogg0 only and I'm using its lockout to farm mount with reserve + 150k raid roll (with 10-11 people). I think it's been 8 weeks now and still no drop.

Comment by maximus90

Comment by Fredzilla

Couple questions about farming this.

1. Is it possible to clear up to yogg in 10, then switch to 25 for the kill?

2. What is a good minimum number of people to have for yogg so that there are as few competitors for the mount without having to worry about people going insane before the brain portals open?

Comment by gnorkthedark

Does this drop in any version of yogg or just +1 now?

Comment by dm0190

If you value your sanity, don't chase after this mount. If I put it simply, you will farm this for years and probably not see it. I myself took 3 years 1 month to see it drop for the first time. It causes no end of stress every week, with people going insane, and I fear, the inevitable end of this is myself, going insane, in real life. I got close when my guildie walked in and won it on group loot on their first run.

Don't chase this.
Don't even think about it.
Nope, your mental health is not worth it.

Comment by olympicboxer

As of patch 5.0.4 the drop rate of this mount is now set as "High" on blizzards armory.

Comment by Stok3d

Now Drops from BMAH. A list of items can be found http://www.wowhead.com/news=204376/mists-of-pandaria-black-market-auction-house

In the first 7 days of release, I managed to get all the server mounts on BMAH: Mimi's Head for 620k, Onyxian Drake for 512k gold, and Drake of the South Wind for 157k on a high pop pvp server (Bleeding Hollow). Luckily not too many ppl knew where BMAH was located yet.

If you're on a high pop server, expect it to be a race to 999k cap to win. Have a toon prepped and hope you're the lucky one to get that last bid in. Bid fast and keep your mouth shut until AFTER you win. Honestly, this mount is beautiful. GL! :)

Edit: For those disputing the relevance of this post and if it shows up on BMAH, please view my screenshot: http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu64/Stok3d-Photos/MimironsHead.png

Complete Guide to 350+ Mounts

Comment by Esploratore

After farming ulduar 25 3-man with my blood dk, a holy paladin and a fire mage for the fragments of val'anyr at level 85 and being able to do 12\14 with only algalon and yogg impossible, yogg, at least before 5.0.4, had a bit too many tentacles spawning, couldn't keep up with them, enrage was probably beatable if we could've got past p2 (this with all keepers).

At 90, with way higher dps, I suppose this will be at least doable 3 or 2-man on 25 +0, because the difficulty in dps requirements doesn't really change much from +4 to +0, you only lose 2-3 10% damage buffs, what changes is you don't have to fail on losing sanity cause you can't recover it.

Definitely worth a try with decent gear, and IMO also soloable in later tiers for blood dks (blood dks already soloed yogg 10 +0 at 85 when 5.0.4 hit).

Comment by Ashaelyn

I have just seen it on the Black Market Auction house on the Gorefiend server.
The current bid is 400,000 gold but I am assuming the original bid was 20,000 gold.

Edit: The auction was completed and the final bid was 600,000 gold! Pretty crazy imo :o

Comment by Bababooeyhs

This is currently on proudmoore's black market ah.

Current bid is 999,999g lol.

Currently on the Caelestrasz Black Market Auction House for 180k.

Comment by xienwolf

Now that I am 90, my brother and I are attempting to farm for getting this guy some day. I am searching for a listing of which bosses absolutely must be killed in order to face Yogg.

No luck so far, when I thought it would be one of the highest rated bits of information on either here or Yogg's page...

Comment by Losai

This mount is amazing. However, it is no longer able to obtain. So be aware of scams! They took this mount out when MoP was released. So runs saying they are going for it are just scams for people to join.

Comment by Slylou321

The formula to calculate your drop chance ( x ) over any given number of runs ( y ) is this
1 - ( ( 1 - x ) ^ y )

For Mimirons Head:
Your X Value: .0142
Your Y Value: The amount of weeks you have wasted farming this mount

Edit. Below i have been listing the "lowered" drop chances of the mount. I know the mount is not really getting its drop rate lowered, but the data is just becoming more accurate. Just think it would be useful to see the rate at how much this is changing on a weekly basis. by the looks of it, the TRUE drop rate is probably 1%,

List of drop rates over time

I thought i would mention, during the start of MoP on Darkspear EU BMAH it went for goldcap. I saw it with my very eyes, incredible.

Comment by Rplix

Dropped yesterday. It is funny because we were joking about how the %drop is less than the bindings for Thunderfury, which I have been farming for months. Didn't win it sadly.

Comment by zknm7

Sold on Lothar BMAH on 1/25/13 for 999,999k gold... or max bid. Be prepared to bring some serious money if you want this thing from the BMAH... and no, I didn't buy it, I don't have that kind of gold.

Comment by adam612

Do you still get the achievement for it as well if you buy it off the BMAH? Anyone know?

Comment by Lidmo

For all you Head owners that didn't know already - a tip to keeping the engine/rotors quiet if you're afking.

Land the mount, turn off sound (CTRL-S), then elevate the mount and unmute (CTRL-S again).

Tadaa! Now you can showboat in your capital city while waiting for your LFR/raid to form and not have to listen to deafening engines!

Comment by Paulosio

I was part of my realms 1st kill of this boss back in August 2009. We only killed the boss about 6-7 times before the drop chance got nerfed from a guaranteed drop and I lost the mount to people who didn't even join the guild till we were on heroic lich king and who never did Alone in the Darkness as current content.

Nearly 4 years later i've just noticed it's on the Black Market AH. It was quite lucky I stopped by and checked because i'm normally in bed by now (It was 2:30 AM when I placed my bid) and I only check the BMAH maybe once a week so I miss a lot of the auctions.

I bid 955k because i've heard that you can't be outbid at that price. It will be most of my gold since I have 1.2 million but it's not like there's a lot else really worth spending gold on.

Comment by Antthedruid

So what I'm getting from this is: When no one is watching, yogg gives you head?

Comment by weazz

The KOOPA CLOWN!

Comment by Ttotem

For those that have planned to farm this mount at some point, but have been discouraged by the fact that you'll need a very large group to not see everyone go insane within a few seconds due to Psychosis (shadow dmg and 12 reduced sanity on hit), Psychosis was changed in 5.4 and no longer reduces your sanity.

I've been duoing this encounter twice a week for several weeks now and all that seems to be needed is to follow the regular tacts and have enough gear to not get overrun with tentacles or Immortal Guardians.

P.S This has been mentioned on the Yogg-saron page, but I decided to post about it here as well. Credit goes to user Thirteen on mmo-champion for posting about this on 2013-09-12, 03:21 PM.

Comment by smackthekids

Yogg Saron 25man No Keepers (0 lights) is now officially solo'able!
Just did it today as an ilvl 562 Fury Warrior solo.
Credit to MMO Champ and Ttotem for the heads up!

However!
Because of the mechanics of having 0 keepers up, even with the removal of random sanity loss from Sara in phase 2, all the other mechanics and loss of sanity remain unchanged. The fight is still absolutely brutal, has a high skill requirement, and took a good number of attempts to beat it solo.

Rather than brag, anyone looking to solo this must have excellent movement and awareness capabilities.
Most important tip:
The small tentacles can not get off their cast(s), specifically black plague. This will cause a long debuff that CCs (stuns) you very often and totally randomly, making you vulnerable to more debuffs, loss of control, inability to avoid certain sanity losses, and not enough time on the brain or Yogg in the final phase before you are overwhelmed.
Even making it to the final phase with over 75+ sanity left, you must have insane DPS before the unkillable adds wreck you; as you will have ALOT of adds after 45 seconds into the last phase.

Good luck! And go get your solo Mimiron's Head!

Dropped for me after 241 kills across alts at 1% droprate

Comment by Arcues

So in 10 player when theres 0 lights a tentacle will be summoned and on 25 player 0 lights he gives you head, what kind of message is blizzard trying to give us?

Comment by weibe23

this mount is on BMAH right now for the Area-52 server along with whoever they may be CRZ'd with, it's still at "very long" duration and already capped at 999,999 gold

Comment by BscorpobBx5

Soloed Yogg-Saron on 25 man with 0 Keepers for Mimiron's Head (And I'll Form the Head!) as a 554 Survival Hunter with legendary cloak today. Although it is possible for other specs, I highly recommend Survival. I suspect it got a ton easier with the recent change in 5.4, Psychosis no longer reduces Sanity, but is still a very hard and unforgiving fight.

Preparation: Get a DPS pet (I used a Ferocity specced Wolf) and a Tenacity specced pet ( I used a turtle) the DPS pet will be used in phase 1 and 2 and the tenacity pet for phase 3. I HIGHLY recommend speccing into Spirit Bond. Agility food(Well Fed), Drums of Forgotten Kings, and Runescroll of Fortitude III isn't a must but certainly helps. Glyph of Mending and Glyph of Misdirection are BOTH required. I also had Glyph of Animal Bond, I wouldn't say it's required, but it is recommended. I also had an easier time when I respecced into Thrill of the Hunt and Blink Strikes (for the Constrictor Tentacles) for this fight, but it is doable without.

You will also need to make a macro:
/tar Constrictor
/cast Blink Strikes
/petattack
/targetlasttarget

Use this whenever you get constricted.

Phase 1:(100%): Very easy phase, use the ferocity pet, put it on passive and move it into the middle of the room, directly where Sara is. Run through as many green clouds as possible, and as the Guardian of Yogg-Saron spawn, misdirect them to your pet as they run toward you. When you have about 9-10 Guardian of Yogg-Sarons attacking your pet, AoE them down, and she should push into the next phase.

Phase 2 (Outside):(100%): Remember to take pet off passive while Sara is transitioning into phase 2. Now, 3 different tentacles will spawn; Constrictor Tentacle, Corruptor Tentacle, and Crusher Tentacle. The kill order is Constrictor > Corruptor > Crusher, however your pet can most likely one or two shot the Constrictor Tentacle if you are over 550 ilvl, they have very little health (about 100k). When you are constricted (Squeeze), you are unable to attack. Right when he transitions, You will be constricted right off the bat, use your macro (see above) and kill the Corruptor Tentacle ASAP, before it gets a chance to cast Apathy or Black Plague (Black Plague). IT IS IMPORTANT TO KILL THEM FAST, as if they are able to get these casts off it is a good chance that it may prevent you from killing the boss, as they greatly hinder you. (-60% movement speed for 20 seconds and stunned randomly for 24 seconds). Crusher Tentacles aren't as important as the others, however should try to be killed when constrictors or corruptors aren't there, the Crushers put a debuff that reduces the damage you deal by 20% (Diminish Power), which can stack if there are more of them up, so there really shouldn't be no more than 1 up at a time. Malady of the Mind is annoying, however is not avoidable. After 1 minute, Brain portals will spawn around the boss, you will be constricted right when they spawn so have your macro ready, once the tentacle dies get into the portal.

Phase 2 (Brain):(100%-30%): There are three different visions to get while in Yogg-Saron's brain, Wyrmrest Temple, Stormwind Keep, and Icecrown Citadel. Within each vision there are 9 Influence Tentacles that must be killed, you must kill all 9 in order to attack the Brain of Yogg-Saron. Also, try not to look at the Laughing Skull, they drain your Sanity by 2 every second your character is looking at them(Lunatic Gaze). The ICC vision is definitely he best one to get, as the Influence Tentacles are very close together and you can just Multi-Shot them down and run over to The Mind's Eye, where the Brain of Yogg-Saron is located, while the other two you must single target the Influence Tentacles down. Either way, hopefully you have about 35-40 seconds left on Brain of Yogg-Saron's Induce Madness cast to run over in the brain room and DPS the brain once the tentacles are dead. The Brain needs to get to 30% and you need to run out using the 3 portals around the room to get back outside. Try not to use your DPS CD's these are highly needed for the last phase, but try to get the brain down to about 40% and run out (If you are Survival, your Black Arrow and should keep ticking while outside, and the brain will get down to about 30%, and you will have more time outside to kill extra tentacles outside before he transitions to phase 3).

Phase 3 (30%-0%): Quickly kill any remaining tentacles that are up (Corruptor > Crusher), and switch out to your tenacity pet. Use all DPS CD's on Yogg-Saron, he needs to go down fast, so many Immortal Guardian are not up. Stand at max range from Yogg-Saron, so when he casts Empowering Shadows he does not get healed (Try setting pet to passive, so he does not attack Yogg-Saron and move the adds to him, which will cause him to heal). Try to get the Immortal Guardian to low health at all times, they won't do as much damage, and remember to misdirect them all to your pet. Just try to burn as much as possible and you can ignore the first few Lunatic Gazes, but once your Sanity gets to lower than 50 I recommend turning around to avoid Sanity loss, while you are turned around you could use that time to get the Immortal Guardian down to low health. You MUST have high DPS in this phase because the adds are unkillable, and there will be a LOT of adds 1 minute into the phase if Yogg-Saron is not killed. Misdirect adds to pet, and try getting the adds low after he has cast Empowering Shadows, remember to use Mend Pet if your pet gets low, and turning around to avoid the Sanity loss and he should go down. Collect loot for your unusable Fragment of Val'anyr and 1-2% chance at Mimiron's Head, cry that it didn't drop, and do it all next week.

Good luck to all the other Hunter Soloers looking to solo Yogg-Saron 25M 0 Keepers for Mimiron's Head, and I hope this comment helped you!

Feel free to ask me any questions in-game if you are having trouble, or have any questions about this fight, or any others in the instance, I currently have the entire Ulduar instance on solofarm (Solo all bosses on 10, then go out and switch to 25 for Yogg-Saron) every week until I get Mimiron's Head :P

Comment by Deathcam

Finally got this GNOMES HEAD* to drop for me today solo:D

Comment by Arcues

For a chance at this mount to drop you need to kill yogg saron on 25 player without talking to any of the bosses once they turn friendly.

Comment by Radiosangria

I've killed him every week with 11 characters in the past months, forming a group of 4-5 ppl and binding the mount for 200-250k gold. 136 runs so far, the damn mount never drops :/

Comment by shmonnorshmusie

I hope someone may know the answer to this. I'm not sure if this is a new feature, but the door to General Vezax opens after you kill 3 Protectors (not sure if it's always been this way). I just happened to be saving Thorim for last because he is a pain to solo, but now I'm wondering if I need to kill him at all? Does anyone know if the head will still drop if I don't bother killing him and go straight to Yogg. It's still 0 Light technically, but Yogg 0 Light 25 is a pain to farm solo so I don't want to risk going through the effort and all the while have the loot not be eligible to drop. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

Comment by Deathcam

This mount dropped for me a few weeks ago:D 9th solo kill out of over 500 account wide kills since start of cata

Comment by Toffifee13

I think it's a bit weird that this has a 1% drop chance, considering all you have to do before getting it, while getting the mounts from 10 and 25 man Obsidium Sanctum takes 10 minutes of your time.

Comment by babyoljan

i did this 25 no keepers for first time today and my heart skipped a beat when i saw what dropped:D If ur a lock rain of fire can be cast while ur trapped to get out of tentacle 574 ilvl. Gl to all of u in getting this epic mount!

Comment by sello123

Finally the bastard dropped.

Saw it drop on my first kill but gave it to my gf now it dropped again on kill number 111 split among the 4 chars ive been doing it on every week

Thank christ!

Also been clearing on normal 10m switching to 25m so it does drop when you do it that way

Just Invincible left to get then i'm the pokemon champion having caught em all

Comment by iFOOL14

Can confirm this can drop in a raid ID that has already been cleared the same week. I joined a group that was clearing multiple times in a row. There was a mage saving the lockout who would invite 2-4 people who would enter the instance, then mage would drop group and switch to the toon he wanted to kill it on. We'd kill it, switch to other toons, he'd go back to his mage and repeat the whole thing. On the third kill it dropped and I won! Redemption for rolling a 5 on it 2 years ago.

Comment by piraka810

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but the details of the metal and rivets on this mount are amazing. They fit perfectly and are one of the many reasons this is the best mount in WoW.

Comment by benx2011

For those who are not sure or have never done it before, you don't need to kill every boss in the raid. The only requirement for it to drop is to kill the last boss in 25m and you must not accept any assistance from the 4 keepers. Just don't talk to them after you defeat them.

If you are just hunting for Miniron's head. here is the faster way, go into the raid as 10m, just kill Flame Leviathan and XT-002 Deconstructor outside. If your ilevel is high enough to kill Flame Leviathan in 10m without using Demolisher, then just hop on a bike and Speed Boost to the boss. That thing is fast.

Once you are inside, go straight to kill Kologarn.

Once you pass him, defeat all 4 keepers inside. After that, just don't talk to them. Go straight to the final room. When you get there, do not enter the boss room yet. Good thing blizzard placed a teleport pad right in front of the final boss. It really saves so much time on traveling. Use the teleporter to get back to the raid entrance. Get outta the raid and re-enter as 25m, then teleport back to the final boss room. and good luck.

Comment by wootme

After 6.0.2 I've been able to solo Yogg+0 with every class. I wanted to share a mini guide with tips specific for every class.

Overall Tips

I find it better to go in with a DPS spec, no need to go tank spec.
If you have multiple toons that could solo it, try to have a friend help you re use the same lockout so you can just go in and kill Yogg. The fight takes 5 minutes or so, offer them something in return for their help.
Item level is not a huge deal. I have been solo'ing this with toons from 500 to 575+ ilvl and I can tell you it just comes down to the mechanics and knowing how your class can handle them.

The important things to watch out for

During phase 2 you got to know how to break out of the constrictor tentacle. Every class can get out of them, look below for more info on how you can handle it with your class. Kill as many tentacles as you can before going into the brain, you'll usually get gripped before the portals spawn, so as soon as you break free go into the brain, kill the adds inside and damage the brain without using DPS cool downs.
During phase 3 you must kill al tentacles that are remaining before bursting Yogg with your DPS cool downs. Avoid cleaving the adds. If you get many of them too low they'll get a buff that heals them AND the boss. I've had attempts where I had the boss at 5% and then he just went up to 20% because I didn't pay attention.
Insanity management shouldn't be an issue. You'll go into the brain with 100, if you come out of it with 76-80 insanity you can easily afford to just face the boss during your burst in phase 3 and kill him before you're insane.

Now for some class specific advice, remember overall to take movement increase, self healing, and dispelling talents/glyphs.

Druid

Spec: Balance and Feral both work great.
To break grip: Starfall or feral swipe.
Shape shifting won't get rid of the speed reduction debuff, try and dispel yourself only if you got the mana for it, the poison can become annoying but if you kill tentacles quick enough it won't matter. Avoid star fall during the last phase so you won't cleave the adds, or take the adds away from the boss so they won't heal him. If you're doing this as balance make sure you kill all the tentacles before bursting him, the rebuffs they apply are very bad for casters

Death Knight

Spec: I did it as Unholy.
To break grip: Blood Boil & Death and Decay work great.
Overall DKs have very easy, their pet and ranged attacks are enough to kill tentacles. Phase 3 burst is very easy.

Hunter

Spec: Done BM and Survival. I prefer survival. As BM you must make sure you put your pet on passive when you take the portal into the brain so it will come with you, the usual pet management annoyances apply.
To break grip: Dire beast, Explosive Trap, I think I could use Barrage and Glaive Toss too. The grip is a non issue for hunters.
Master's call won't get rid of the speed reduction debuff. I recommend taking Stampede for the last phase burst.

Mage

Spec: Did it as Frost, I think Fire could be stronger but I didn't need to try it.
To break grip: Pre-cast orb when it's about to come out, you can also use Blizzard
Very important to kill tentacles asap, the debuffs are very annoying as a mage. Inside the brain I just went to the middle and spammed blizzard on the adds so I didn't have to run around much. Take mirror image for last phase burst and use Time Warp. The problem with mages is that they have no healing at all in combat so you must burst before you're overwhelmed by adds.

Monk

Spec: Windwalker. Take Diffuse Magic, Tiger's Lust and Xuen.
To break grip: Spinning Crane Kick
You can use the Monk copies to deal with the tentacles during phase 2, save your Diffuse Magic for the brain part so you an get rid of the slow. During phase 3 avoid using Fists of Fury if you got too many adds out, unless you're about to get the kill and the boss won't have time to heal. Xuen on the last phase, and dispel yourself on cool down.

Paladin

Spec: Retribution
To break grip: Judgement or Divine Storm if you have the Holy Power for it
No major issues for Paladins. Dispel yourself to get rid of the disease from tentacles. Freedom won't get rid of the slow, but you can bubble it if you want to move faster during the brain phase. I used Execution Sentence for the burst on the last phase.

Priest

Spec: Shadow with Divine Star. I used Twist of Faith and Mindbender for the burst on last phase
To break grip: Divine Star was enough
Keep your shield on CD during the last phase. If you drop below 50% just face away from the boss and 2-3 Flash Heals should be enough to get you back to full and go back to bursting.

Rogue

Spec: Assasination. Use Leech poison and Burst of Speed
To break grip:Fan of Knives
Tentacles are not an issue for rogues because of how mobile they are, as soon as you get into the brain use Cloak of Shadows to get rid of the slow. During phase 3 you can tank as many adds as you need because your healing from Leech Poison is amazing for soloing old content, so just take your time and kill all tentacles then burst.

Shaman

Spec: Elemental (I'm pretty sure Enhancement could make it a lot easier but I didn't have a spec set up for it). Take the glyph of Shamanistic Rage and glyph Thunderstorm. Talent into Bulwark, Ancestral Guidance and Primal Elemental
To break grip: Earthquake, yes, Earthquake can be cast while gripped. It's very annoying but whatever works, right? I just kept casting Earthquake on my feet on CD. Thunderstorm will do damage to the tentacle but I found mine wasn't doing enough damage to kill it
Lust/Hero during the last phase, drop Primal Fire Elemental, Ascendance and burst. Keep Bulwark down, make sure you killed all the tentacles before using your CDs. If you drop low just turn around, Healing Surge and resume

Warlock

Spec: Destruction with Unbound Will
To break grip: Rain of Fire
Very easy to kill it as a Warlock. Rain of Fire is enough to kill the adds in the brain. If you want to have lots of Embers for the last phase use Rain of Fire on the adds but make sure you keep them as far from the boss as you can.

Warrior

Spec: Arms. I took Stormbolt and Bladestorm.
To break grip: Thunder Clap
Be very smart on how you use Charge and Heroic Leap before the brain phase. You want to have them up during the brain to kill the adds as fast as you can. Stormbolt should be used for tentacles mostly. I took Mass Spell Reflection but I didn't notice if it worked. I am the worst warrior ever and I one shotted it, so I'm sure everybody can kill it too.

Shadow Priest

Here is how I've done it on my second try (6.0.2. prepatch, lvl 90):

First phase, with Sara, is trivial, just one shot the mobs that spawn.
On next phase I used Fear Ward and made extensive use of Shadow Word: Pain, which is the best way to deal with tentacles, because it's instant, deals damage upfront and has no facing requirement. You can spam it and need not to worry about mana, because in 6.x.x we no longer go OOM. I also used Halo. Make sure to stay near center, so you can easily click portals once they spawn.
Once inside, just one shot the yellow mobs with single application of Shadow Word: Pain and make sure you have Devouring Plague ready to throw on brain when you get to him (it's a room adjacent to the one you get teleported to after clicking portal). At that time, I still had roughly 24 sec remaining before timer ended, so I applied DoTs and mind flayed a few times - that killed the brain and last phase began so I got teleported outside.
Now on this last phase don't worry about the Immortal Guardians, they will not kill you, and also they are not killable. Use them to apply SW:P for instant Mind Blasts on Yogg (pick Shadowy Insight talent for this) to build orbs for Devouring Plague and just keep DoTs rolling on boss. I wasn't really paying attention to Lunatic Gaze, because my Insanity stacks were still very high and I preferred spending my free time inbetween stuns on damaging the boss. This phase lasts too short to pick MindBender (you will not use it twice probably), so I preferred ShadowFiend.

Fastest head I've ever had.

Comment by smallshark

i just got mine yesterday 12/06/2014 as an Arm Warrior, solo

i started in 10-men, then change to 25m before Yogg.

it was my second kill of Yogg, i have never done it before. i started farming the mount last week.

Mimiron's Head, second kill of Yogg in my life, not many have had that kinda luck

Comment by Magnusmalum

For those who have been farming this a long time like me, it will pay off eventually.
I got to where I could solo it (with some difficulty) on my hunter, DK, and warlock during MOP.
Now in WoD at level 100 it's incredibly easier to rush through all of ulduar on 25m.

I've noticed that at 100 I don't seem to be effected by debuffs at all (or to a point where it's not noticeable) which makes it much easier to jump into a portal as soon as they spawn and not worry about all the stuns. I ran again on my level 90 warlock and can confirm the debuffs etc do indeed still exist. So, if you want to far this, Id recommend waiting til 100 where it's a faster easier clear.

After countless clears solo and with groups, I've finally attained Mimiron's head, my 199th mount! So I won't be returning to Ulduar until i level an alt that can equip the legendary hammer. Thanks for the wonderful christmas gift/drop Blizz! Hopefully Invincible will show it's head soon so i can quit ICC, 12 more shadowfrost shards and I'll have my 200th mount :)

Comment by Snailgirlemily

I got mine during my first 0 lights mount run recently :D

Keep your head up, Most of you will get it if you keep trying. Eventually. . .

Comment by bkral

Just got it to drop, first time ever finishing Ulduar. Happy New Year to me!

Comment by Carnagias1989

The most important thing to note here, if you are choosing to solo it, you need to have one burst aoe move that can free you from the tentacles when the fight first begins. Do not worry about casting moves, just instant bursts, at level 100 it should only take 1 or 2 blows to destroy each tentacle.

*note* If you dont kill them quickly enough after the first one spawns, you MAY end up being stun locked. Some moves (even melee) are unusable.

Comment by Kaelon

For those of you who have been soloing 25-man Alone in the Darkness during Warlords of Draenor, it cannot be overstated just how much easier this is to do this at Level 100. You will dodge most attacks, be immune to most debuffs, and be able to strike down your foes with righteous power. While it's technically feasible to do this in your 90s, wait to reach 100 and be iLevel 615'ish to really smash through it. Enjoy!

Comment by Volleynova

Give me Mimiron's head and I'll show you a cat who's a good mouser.

Comment by Synapto

For those who filter comments by "Patch", you need to know that any talk you may have heard of 100% drop rates with 0 Keepers refers to the pre-Cataclysm system.

Now (6.03), you need 0 Keepers to earn a 1% drop chance.

Also, don't be fooled by the "High" rate listed on Blizzard's own site.

Comment by di3di3di3

Quick tip
You can run the instance on 10 man up to and untill General (semi final boss).
Then you can teleport outside just before entering Yogg's room (use the teleport platform thingie to Assembly grounds)
When outside set raid difficulty to 25 man, re-enter instance, teleport again and voila ;P
Pretty annoying fight if those stuns and death coils are chained ;P

Comment by wisedada

When i first started to farm Mimiron's Head, i met this guy...he said me : "Any Luck?"
And me : "Nah, no Mimiron's Head this week..." and then i started to think about how nice was this mage.

Now, after ages of farming the Head without ANY DAMN LUCK, he still ask me that same question, "Any luck?".

I'm quite surprised he's not a Troll.

Comment by rabiesarebad

just a note... it seems that Constrictor Tentacles are no longer positioned "behind" your character when they grab you, meaning you can use ordinary attacks/spells to break yourself out. looks like this was changed in 6.1 or something.

Comment by Sperky

I'm farming this mount on 6 characters each weeks.

I don't clean the instance each time, i use a reroll tag directly on Yogg 25 0 keeper.
I use this tag on my 6 others chars, i enter the instance directly in front of Yogg.

I have farm a lot of mounts...i have more than 300 mounts at the moment.
As an example, i got Invincible after 80 down of LK.

Actually, i have down Yogg 25 0 keeper more than 300 times

It's not possible to not drop the mount so i begin to think that tagging my 6 char on Yogg with my reroll
who keep the tag DON'T ALLOW THE MOUNT TO DROP

The HM mode of Ulduar is different from others HM raids mode.
You don't select HM in the raid menu, you have to do something in game, for yogg, is to don't talk to each gardians.
This specific HM mode may explain why th emount don't drop when you don't clean the instance each time.

If somebody has looted the mount using an existing tag extended each week to be directly in front of Yogg, please tell us.
In that case, we can be sure the mount can drop by this way.

Comment by SSlaughter

do you have to hit that red button during the mimron fight, in order for it to have a chance to drop off 25m yogg?

Comment by ReversalL

Got him today after 124 runs across all my characters. I was using one of my alts to extend lockout every week, so I had only Yogg to kill. I can officially confirm that it can drop that way, and all those people losing hope... Don't worry, it WILL drop.
Around 230 runs on Lich King tho, still no invincible. See ya in Invincible's Reins comments section, when i place my hands on him :D

Comment by MaDeViL

Today got my Mimi Head. Darkspear Realm.

206 run. Farming 14 characters. My characters just 91-94 lvl 1 100 lvl.

All class can possible kill Yogg Saron 25 Hard mode.

Just need 91+ lvl, 90+K health you can easy kill Yogg Saron.

Good Luck all.

Comment by smoknaintez

If you accidentally talk to one of the guardian's is there any way to cancel that so I don't have to waste this week lockout and kill yogg with the guardian's assistance?

Edit: fixing spellchecks waist

Comment by wcclash

I see a lot of comments stating how many attempts a person has made trying to collect this mount (or for that matter, any other mount). There is an addon called rarity that will show you how many attempts you have made on any mount and what the probability it will drop on your current attempt. Basically, around 70 attempts, you have a 50/50 chance of a mount dropping. Obviously, the more attempts you make the higher the probability of it dropping. I have gone as high as 170 attempts ( I forgot what that probability was but I think it was around 80%) and as low as 25. And yes when you get really high in attempts, you question if you are doing something wrong--you aren't. It's just bad luck. Just keep going, and maybe the next mount you go for will come by a lot easier.

Comment by ricangsxrdude

Is it normal to not receive the Zero Light achieve if you switch from 10M to 25M @ Yogg? First kill with my 94 DK and no help, yet when I downed him I didn't get the achieve (not a big deal I can't get the points anyways), but I was wondering if anyone else had that issue. My Rarity gave me an attempt on Mimiron's Head, and I would assume that would only come out if done correctly. I am 100% certain I had no help, but I was just curious.

wasted my years farming mimiron hard mode for this :'(

Comment by Babytoes

Guide to farming with multiple alts without clearing all bosses each time.

Pick a character that will be your looking for group dummy.

Clear: Flame Leviathan, XT-002 Deconstructor, Hodir, Freya, Thorim, Mimron, General Vezax on 10 man mode. Do not kill Yogg-Saron.

Take the portal from Yogg-Saron back to the entrance and leave.

Convert to 25 man

Open looking for group > click premade group > click custom group > Start a group under any name hit list group. Check auto accept and hit X

Now log out

You should see your group listed click it and hit join
Once you've joined you will most likely have lead. If you do not have lead wait till your lfg dummy has been logged out long enough. I'm guessing around 5 mins and it will pass you lead. Ensure that your new toon has normal mode 25 man selected under raid difficulty.

If you followed my steps correctly it will say 12/17 bosses killed when your first alt walks inside Ulduar. Go in and kill Yogg.

For all other alts you must hit reset all instances before entering Ulduar or it won't work. The first alt doesn't have to because Yog was never killed.

These instructions were based on being in a Party not a Raid. So I am not sure what will happen as a raid. P.S. Realm hoppers can be a real pain. You may have to remake the group to avoid them.

Comment by IloveMimiron

Advice to anyone trying to solo Yogg-saron 25h but having problems, some class are meant to have a hard time on this boss due to the lack of proper tentacle-killing abilities (my worst personal experience being my enanchment shaman unable to drop his lava totem because ground was uneven, needless to say, i rerolled elemental for earthquake).

in the end, it's all condensed to these 2 questions:
Does your character have a freely spammable aoe(no target required)?
Does your character have an ability that he/she can use without facing requirements(also pets you can control count)?

if the answer to both is noyou should reconsider farming yogg'saron on that spec, often a single talent is the key for a smoother solo

sidenote:do not expect to be able to kill him with less than 540 item level (without a burst class)

Comment by Peredhil

Dropped at 127th kill(farming on multiple alts).Good luck to all still farming.

As for,killing constrictor tentacle-just make a macro to target it,and use any kind of attack.No issue for any class/dps spec.The only problem -that could wipe a less geared char-is brain phase(especially with 20% reduction dmg multiple buff).So,dps check.

Comment by Jufeng

WARNING TO ALL POTENTIAL FARMERS:

This mount makes THE most annoying sound when it is in motion. Be prepared to play without sound.

Seriously, best way I could describe it is two cats made out of steel clawing and metallicly hissing at each other at a rapid pace.

Comment by Corstin

I guess I got lucky. I got mine on my third week of farming. Lovely mount!

Comment by nanoneo

Got it today! 46 kills.

Comment by tessaporter

Craziest thing happened.

My boyfriend has been farming this mount for AGES now. So much that he had given up these past few months and hasn't entered Ulduar since.
I decided to start collecting all the legendaries in the game for something to do, so he comes with me on my run for fragments and honestly I have gotten more fragments on runs where I haven't wanted them. So it was pretty disappointing even though I know the drop chance of fragments is really low.
We get to Yogg, and I know at least I get one fragment from him, so we down him really quickly.
Oh yeah, we getting all the normal loot, I get my fragment and then all I hear in skype is 'WAIT, WHAT?"
I look up and there it is. Mimmy's Head! He starts going insane and so I instantly pass on it and we are both really happy and excited and can't actually believe it dropped after not doing it in forever. We port out so he can mount and take a screenshot and he's pretty over the moon right now.

But that's not even the end of it.

We cleared it on Monday, went back in on Wednesday, still didn't get hardly ANY fragments but Yogg obviously really likes us so he gave us another head.

Yep, two head's in 3 days.

HOW? I don't even believe it myself really, it was PURE luck, crazy, unbelievable luck.

I tried to post a link of a screenshot of us on our mounts, but I just registered to tell this story so it says I can't!

Anyway, good luck to everyone who is still farming this and don't give up! RnGesus works in mysterious ways :)

Comment by Devilwings75

Quick question about this and just to make sure, all you have to do is set it to regular 25 and kill Yogg without talking to guardians inside? Also does it drop if you run it on 10 and then switching to 25? How about running it on old lockouts where Yogg is still available? I apologize, but after 200 ++ runs on several toons, I was starting to wonder if I was doing anything wrong. I know RNG are a heartless mistress, but after so many runs you may start thinking, it's your fault!

Comment by Starrefyre

For the mount to drop does it matter which one you talk to in order to get started? Bran or the Lore Keeper?

Comment by Oneknightstand

Dropped today 10/13/2015 right after reset, I had my wife save a lockout in 10 player a few weeks ago that took me straight to yogg.

If you have a friend or someone who can save a lockout for you and just keep extending, it cuts out a lot of time especially if you are like me and running it on 11 toons per week. I can confirm the raid was originally ran and saved on 10 man normal and it showed under raid locks as 10 man normal, then I would join the group, get party leader, and switch to 25 man, go straight to yogg and kill :)

Happy hunting all keep at it!

Comment by Decabah

Finally got mine on Monday night at 2am while doing an insomnia run. Saw an extra piece of loot and then an icon pop up in the middle of my screen (courtesy of New Openables).

I about squeeed myself deaf.

Good luck, everyone!

Comment by Chaos911

Finally got mine today! I have no idea how many runs I did, but I was farming with 3 toons every week. I'm guessing somewhere around 150 or so. It's pretty much all I do in the game. What am I going to do now?

Comment by Devilwings75

Finally dropped after 240 runs between 11 characters. Things I learned during this really long camp:

1) RNG is a cruel mistress
2) The lockout trick works, that's how I got it. To make things easier on yourself, run up to General on one toon, then take turns running your other toons. You can save the original lockout for next week or finish it and start another next week. This method has been discussed in other posts, look it up!
3) Remember to make sure each run is 25 normal, NO Keepers, just to double check!
4) RNG is such a cruel *!@#$...
5) NEVER setting foot in Ulduar again.

Best of lucks to you all trying to get this annoying mount!

Comment by leowow

I got it today 2015/10/29!. After 70 runs between 2 chars. The best thing is that i wont enter Ulduar again! The mount is awesome guys but it is VERY noisy. Had to turn the volume down many times since i got it. But its design is brilliant, they did a great work here the developers. if you zoom with the camera inside the head, you can see like a compass, two tanks with a Green fluid like oil, and more, the mount got very good design details.

Comment by shalkecz

gotta a question : how exactly should I proceed over Yogg Saron with the guardians ? I mean you gotta kill him withoud assistance of them. How do you do that ? when they are aroud the circle in the middle of the instance ( port to Shattered Walkway) what do I do then ? NOT to talk to them ? thx !

Comment by Jhealik

771 runs and still NO mount... Dont know what's wrong... I dont think I've seen anyone with so many runs...

Comment by Ljnx

Hey guys with o without keepers? if no why ?

Comment by Thirsan

2 guildies have drop the mount this week. Maybe they increase the % for winter veil ? Or it's just the large number law ;o)

Comment by anatidae

This likely goes without saying, but since I never would have noticed if I wasn't talking to someone at the time...

MAKE SURE YOUR RAID IS ON 25-MAN BEFORE KILLING HIM.

Much of the time - even if your menu says that the raid is set to 25-man before you enter - once you get inside it will actually be on 10-man (you can see which difficulty it is once you zone in on the top-left of your mini-map).

If you forget to look as you enter, there are a couple of other clues that you're on 10m instead of 25m once you begin the Yogg fight:

Losing sanity in the post-Sara phase - this happens on 10m but not on 25m
On 25m you will always get caught in a constrictor tentacle immediately as Brain Portals spawn - this doesn't happen on 10m.

Comment by ricangsxrdude

This mount seems to have no sounds if you fly RIGHT or BACK, but it has rotor sound if you fly LEFT, FORWARD or don't move at all. Is this some more recent bug or has it always been bugged?

Comment by Dragonarcher

After reading so many comments about people doing serveral hundreds of runs trying to get this mount (got this feeling i would have to do the same of amount of runs), i started two weeks ago, and it finally dropped just now (on run 32), thankfully i never have to go into ulduar ever again unless someone wants me to join for something:D

Comment by zippy007

I created a raid lockout for 25 man on one toon three weeks ago and farmed for it on 4 other toons, and after three weeks of farming (12 kills), it dropped last night. I know that it's just RNG and I got lucky, but thought I'd pass along my method none the less.

Three of the toons I was running are on a second account so sharing the lockout was just a matter of opening both accounts at once and inviting the farm toon, running in, transferring lead to farm toon, booting and then logging out the lockout toon. Not sure if there's another (better?) way, but this worked for me at preserving the raid lock for other farm toons. Never needed to run out, reset, etc.

One of my toons was on the same account as the lockout toon, so in this case, I would create a raid finder group and log out (not auto invite to keep others out). Next I'd quickly log my farm toon on, request to join the newly created group in the group finder that the lockout toon had just created, then log back out and back onto the lockout toon to invite the farm toon to join group. Then finally I'd log back into the farm toon, accept the invite to the group, run in, wait a few minutes to be given lead when the original lockout toon times out, and then boot lockout toon. This also preserved the lockout on my lockout toon. Good Luck!

Comment by zippy007

After 3 weeks of lockout farming on 4 toons ....BAM! Dropped after 12 kills for me.....now sitting at +300 mounts and wishing for the first time Blizz would actually put in the next Achieve (350?) in time for those currently working on it. Good luck y'all!

Comment by Jbeasty09

Relevant information - Dropped after 155 kills using a saved lockout. (thought I had more, pretty sure I have them all accounted for though).

Not so relevant - Someone in LFG chat was advertising their stream; they were doing boss mount runs. I said something along the lines of "I can barely watch myself do these runs, why in the **** would I want to watch you do them?" (in fun).

Then he told me he got his on his first no lights kill. And I said that if I happen to get this to drop in the next 12 characters I run through here, I'll watch your stream.

I kept my word, because it dropped on the very next character I ran. Obviously, I met RNGesus.

Comment by Raemaruk

After running this on 5 alts per week this dropped for me on my 101st run.

Comment by Random0009

I've never been Ulduar fan, so I made just a few runs. 12-15 were aimed for the mount, other for transmog & meta achievments. I decided to even not reactivate the raid lock after I hadn't subscription for a month or two. Today I ran with my hunter for the mail badass chest. Disappointed as every other week. But the last thing in xloot roll was something strange and I thought it was a trinket or something. :-D And it was Mimiron, which I couldn't believe it! No more than 30 kills in Ulduar. Finally I was lucky again for a rare mount. Most of them I'm farming for a long time.

This mount is a really nice ROFLcopter. :-D

Comment by Joshmotron

Prologue:

Buy Draenor during Christmas 2014, create a Blood DK and boost a Hunter.
DK hits 100, run Tempest Keep for the first time as part of achievement farming since you suck at end game content.
Loot Kael'thalas, notice a weird looking icon... it's Ashes of Al'ar. You didn't even know he dropped the sexiest mount in the game. The Old Gods punish capriciously, favoring others through logic known only to themselves.

Story Proper:

In between other mount runs, proceed to run Ulduar twice a week for about 40-50 weeks, missing a few weeks here and there. Nothing mind melting, but still, it's more dedication than normal.
Pre-order Legion, boost a Prot Paladin to level 100. Continue doing your normal two-runs of Ulduar for another 4 weeks before you remember you have this third dude.
After your usual two toons run and the pain in your heart starts to become unbearable, break in your shiny new Paladin.
Paladin's first run. Get Mimiron's Head. The Old Gods' Blessing bestowed once again.

Lesson Learned: Always do mount runs with a fresh level 100. It'll save you 14 months. /s

It's posted elsewhere, but definitely run it 10 man then warp out and switch to 25 at Yogg. Saves that much hassle, and I never realized you could do that until my fateful Paladin run. Coincidence? Yes.

Comment by hamshake

Got ashes last week after 21 KT kills. got mimis head this week after 22 yogg kills. bring on the dislikes

Comment by adamfazai

WoD

Easy and fast way to get this mount
I mainly use hunters and mages -caster/range- last fight may be little bit hard for melee
Also I avoid some bosses to reach Yogg-Saron fast

- Enter dungeon (25man)
- Talk to bran, jump on the bike and move fast -with speed boost (no3 action bar)- to the first boss, kill mobs then jump out of bike and fight the boss easily.

- Then go straight forward to Robot boss XT-002 (u can avoid 2 bosses on the way Razorscale and Ignis)

- Use Teleporter to "Antechanmber of Ulduar"

-Move forward (kill mobs on the way) and take stairs up to Kologarm
(here you can avoid two bosses as well (Assembly of Iron and Algalon)

- Kill Kologarn and pass him on the bridge and enter the main Ulduar Circle

-There is a Cat Lady boss "Auriaya" that you can kill her anytime as she passes, when u kill her the Teleporter on the Conservatory of life (the green jungle place) will be activated and u can jump to Mimiron (one of the 4 good bosses that u have to kill in order to open Yogg Saron Prison)

- From right enter the hallways and kill each of the "good!" bosses and free them :
If u need the mount u SHOULD NOT talk to any of these bosses for their help against Yogg-Saron: Hodir, Thorim, Freya and Mimiron

1. Hodir on halls of winter (note that he drops 2 loot chests on left and right of the room) exit after u kill him, come to main hall, enter second hall on the right where Thorim is
2. Thorim: enter the hall "Clash of Thunder" Kill mobs on the way till u reach the boss main hall.
You can see him standing up there-u should reach him and bring him down to start a fight:
- kill all the mobs, then on your left side of the room u see a door with a lever. if all mobs are dead u can click lever, open door, and go all the way to the boss, he will jump down
fight him and free him and come back to main circle hall
3. turn right and enter the green garden place where Freya is, better to kill mobs along the way and engage her fast and kill her.
on the way back if u already killed "Auriaya the cat lady boss" u can see the teleporter is activated and u can easily use it to go to "Sparks of Imagination" where Mimiron is (this takes less time than u take the train to him
4. Enter Spark of Imagination and engage Mimiron, 4 phase fight :
first three, each are a fight that u have to fight a part of a big robot, and finally he combine altogether and bring him down fast (PS: Dont push that buttom behind him that says do not push this bottom, if u do u will have a hard version of the fight that takes long.
After u kill him use portal again to Conservatory of Life

Now all of the Guardians are free and they are standing on the hallway, If u want Mount, do not speak to them to gain their help.

- Enter the Halls of memory (behind Freya), kill mobs and open the big door, go down and Kill General Vezaxx, the last boss before Yogg-Saron

Yogg-Saron: (u need to know that there is no worry for u to kill him, it is very easy)
Rule: If u lost your sanity (from 100 to 0) u will die, but dont worry ;) Sanity is a buff that u got from the boss as soon as u enter his room, u can see it near your map

- Go to the pool, and kill the mobs that Sara (the lady in the middle) spawns.
Look at her dialogues (red ones) as soon as you see: "I AM THE LUCID DREAM" get out of the pool.
The head of Yogg-Saron comes up, but still u cannot kill him, kill tentacles
If a tentacle gets u, simply right click on it to attack it or your pet comes to your help
**** You need to know when the Portal phase starts, it tells u if u have DBM
As soon as portals opens, jump on one of them
you will be in one of the couple of possible places, but the mechanics are same
Here is the most important part, u need to kill all the "Neutral NCPs" there, they have a yellow health bar on them, when u kill them (fast) u see the inside Mind of the Yogg-Saron (like octopi or something)
Kill it fast, and take the portal out (or u get out automatically)
U can Nuke the weakened Yogg-Saron now and loot him.

Wish u can loot your mount

This mount really does make you loose your sanity, just like Yogg-Saron himself, but after farming for goodness knows how long on several characters the mount finally dropped.

I was feeling a little lucky after equipping Talisman of True Treasure Tracking and getting Swift Zulian Panther (after lots of farming might I add) and decided to see if it was a coincidence or if this thing really worked.

Was very surprised when I got the drop, infact I probably sat there with my jaw hung open for the first several minutes. It could be complete coincidence, but after hundreds of runs - what is there to loose? Grab an amulet (Obtainable from Garrison Missions or NPC in Shattrath City, Darkmoon Island and Kun-Lai Summit) and have a go - remembering to post below if it works for you!

If you are actively farming Mimiron's Head, I would highly recommend clearing Ulduar one week - inviting a friend or guild member before killing the Yogg-Saron and passing on your lock to them. This way you can have them extend the lock each week and not have to buy lockouts or have to clear the instance each kill - which is what drove me insane more than anything. Simply pick it up from your chosen friend and bypass the lengthy clear in future runs.

Keep going lads and ladies, it is very satisfactory obtaining this after such a long time farming! Good luck :) x

Don't hate me, but I got Mimiron's Head yesterday, on my second Yogg kill. I was all set to settle into a weekly ritual of the lockout, figuring it'd be months before I got it. And there it was.

Of course, this means I'll never get Ashes of Al'ar now.

This seems to be one of the most elusive mounts to get.
Somehow it always feel like I'm doing it in such a way that the mount won't be able to drop..(as in: clearing the instance on 10N and then changing it to 25N for the Yogg-kill..).

But I guess it's just a constant chain of bad luck so far..

Comment by radess

Comment by Thymx

I've seen more and more people on this mount recently, not sure if it's an increase in drop rate or the raid invite trick but it's inspired me to have a go myself :)

Comment by Xandror

Just dropped for me after 193 tries. I have 2 accounts, every week I cleared to Yogg on 25 man while 2 boxing, skipping Razorscale and Algalon. I would then use that save to kill Yogg with my 13 alts.

Comment by biggaz69

34 tries using the alt invite method, which surprised me since my luck with mounts is awful. Happy days, good luck to all ^^

Comment by Superion

337 tries for me, just got mine this morning. Keep trying folks!

Comment by variien98

Dropped today for me after 75 tries. 1/3 runs with alt share method. Happy asf cool mount :P. Good luck.

Comment by Rhadegund

Seem to be quite lucky with this, 7th try and it's mine. Can confirm the alt invite method works perfectly for this as I used that for the last tries.

Mount farming has been testing at times; thankfully been running 11-16 characters through each week for the past few months. Appreciate the comments here about how long it took to obtain them, as it let me know I wasn't alone. So here are my stats according to Rarity (there probably an additional 20-40 kills on each before I started using the addon):

Drake of the South Wind (mostly 10m): 437 kills
Smoldering Egg (Rag, 10m): 303
Vitreous Stone Drake: 252
Invincible: 181
Swift Zulian Tiger: 102
Fiery Warhorse: 93
Mimiron's Head: 82
Ashes of Alar: 38
Deathcharger: 24

Jade Direhorn (1in20): 49
Riding Turtle (1in200): 124
Spineclaw Crab (1in60): 180

Comment by Artuleska

Comment by Brady939

My #1 favorite mount.

Comment by Rettopyrrah

Ok, I just got mine tonight and can confirm you don't need to kill all the bosses to get it to drop.

Some people have questioned if this can drop if you skip the bosses using the glider or shadow stepping through the door that leads to Vezak, I killed FL, XT, Kolo, then shadow stepped through the door skipping all other bosses and just killing Vezak then Yogg!

that was my 53rd Yogg 25 kill on my rogue, not sure how many kills I had across my other toons.
