Reward of Building the Base, the last quest of the chapter Phaestus, Genesis of Aeons in the Kyrian covenant campaign. That is the fourth of nine chapters by Wowhead's count and opens with The Eternal Forge at Renown 8; the five chapters after it are not needed. Mikanikos gives and takes the quest in Elysian Hold: take the hammer Phaestus from him and strike the Crest of Ascension.
Time there about 5 min a visit
Before you go
- Kyrian campaign chapters 1-4: Among the Kyrian; Torghast (a first climb of the tower to free Baine); Trial of Ascension, whose last quest, The Spires of Ascension, asks for the dungeon Spires of Ascension to be completed; and Phaestus, Genesis of Aeons, seven steps from The Eternal Forge to Building the Base · about 3.5 h
- Kyrian Renown 8, which opens the fourth chapter (Renown 5 opens the third). The campaign's own quests supply part of it · about 1 h
In all: about 4.5 h of play, starting from nothing.
Getting there
/way Elysian Hold 45.3 56.6 - Take the portal from Wizard's Sanctum to Oribos*
- Take the flight master to Bastion
- Take the portal from Pathfinder's Den to Oribos*
- Take the flight master to Bastion
/way is for the TomTom addon. Travel times are estimates: flying at 55 yards a second in a straight
line and 30 seconds for a portal. A star marks a portal that needs a quest or other unlock done first.
Notes and sources
A quest reward, not a drop: it comes from Building the Base (quest 58181; wiki, Wowhead's campaign guide: 'Building the Base - Rewards the Kyrian Mount: Phalynx of Courage & Renown'). The journal says only 'Covenant: Kyrian' and 'Zone: Bastion' and files the mount under drops.
The chapter's steps (wiki):
- The Eternal Forge
- Refining Ego, Instruments of Perfection and Stewards of a Feather
- Phaestus, Genesis of Aeons
- A Partner for Eternity
- Dismantling the Opposition
- Friend to the Forgelite
- Building the Base
Most of it plays at the Eternal Forge in Bastion; for the last quest Mikanikos stands in Elysian Hold (wiki: 45.3, 56.6, taken as a point on Elysian Hold's own map). The dungeon step of the third chapter is counted as a step and nothing more.
The sources number the chapter differently:
- Wowhead's guide counts Torghast as the second chapter and so makes this the fourth, opening at Renown 8
- the wiki's campaign page leaves Torghast out, makes it the third and gives Renown 7
- the wiki's page for the mount says 'chapter 2'
- wow.gg (updated 2026) says chapter 3 at Renown 8 and garbles the chapter's name
Renown 8 is used here as the higher of the two.
A character belongs to one covenant at a time, and this guide has mounts for the other three. The next Kyrian mount on the same road is the Eternal Phalynx of Courage, three chapters further on at Renown 17. Wowhead's tooltip for the quest lists only its two objectives.
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
