How to get it

Rare drop from Nalthor the Rimebinder, last boss of The Necrotic Wake, on Mythic. The journal's second source, the Challenger's Cache, is the end chest of a Mythic+ run and only counts in a season whose rotation has the dungeon; Midnight Season 2 does not.

Chance 1% once a week, so about 100 tries on average — commonly cited, not recorded data: the Rarity addon lists 1 in 100 and missingmounts.com 1%, wow.gg says under 1%. Wowhead (read 2026-10-10) has no count on Nalthor the Rimebinder himself; what it records is the keystone end chest, which does not count this season: 226 mounts in 49,948 loots of Challenger's Cache (0.45%) and 67 in 8,859 for a second, newer cache object (0.76%)

Before you go

Nothing to unlock first: go there and take your chance.

Getting there

The Necrotic Wake entrance, Temple of Courage
Bastion · 40.2, 55.2
/way Bastion 40.2 55.2
From Stormwind (Alliance) about 4 min of travel
  1. Take the portal from Wizard's Sanctum to Oribos*
  2. Take the flight master to Bastion
From Orgrimmar (Horde) about 4 min of travel
  1. Take the portal from Pathfinder's Den to Oribos*
  2. 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

About 100 kills are expected at 1%. One attempt per character per week: Mythic dungeons outside the current season pool keep the weekly lockout (wiki).

The time on the spot is a full four-boss clear (wow.gg gives 5-8 minutes at level 90); the earlier bosses cannot be skipped.

Wowhead's end-chest counts (0.45% and 0.76%) are lower than 1%, so the boss kill may be too, but Wowhead has no count for it.

Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
