Flametalon of Alysrazor — How to Get the Mount
Flametalon of Alysrazor

Flametalon of Alysrazor is a rare ground mount added in patch 4.2 of the Cataclysm expansion. It is a fiery hawk with blazing plumage, visually resembling the model of the
Reins of the Raven Lord, but in a fiery color scheme. The mount drops from the boss Alysrazor in the Firelands raid.
Despite Alysrazor being a flying boss, her mount is exclusively a ground mount. Movement speed depends on your riding skill: +60% or +100%. The mount is available for use from level 10 with the Apprentice Riding skill.
Why You Want This Mount
- One of the most striking ground mounts in the game — a fiery hawk with vibrant blazing feather animations
- A rare trophy from the Cataclysm era with a low drop chance that showcases a collector's experience and persistence
- Shares its model with only two other mounts —
Vicious War Talbuk and
Shadowhide Pearltusk, each with a unique color scheme - Counts toward the overall mount collection counter for achievements
- Stands out thanks to its bright fiery visual effect that contrasts with most other mounts
How to Obtain
There are two ways to get this mount:
Method 1: Loot from Boss Alysrazor
The primary and most common method is to kill the boss Alysrazor in the Firelands raid. The mount drops as the item
Flametalon of Alysrazor directly from the boss's corpse.
- The mount is available on Normal and Heroic difficulty
- Raid size (10 or 25 players) does not affect the drop chance
- The drop chance is the same across all difficulties
- At level 80, the boss dies in a few seconds when soloed
Method 2: Black Market Auction House
The mount occasionally appears on the Black Market Auction House (BMAH). The starting bid is usually around 20,000 gold, but competition among collectors can drive the final price significantly higher.
In The War Within, the BMAH is located in the city of Dornogal, on the eastern side of the Rift district. Coordinates: /way Dornogal 64.7 52.6. Access to the BMAH requires a level 80 character.

How to Get to Firelands
The Firelands raid is located in the southern part of Mount Hyjal (continent of Kalimdor). The entrance is in Sulfuron Spire.
/way Mount Hyjal 47.3 78.3 Firelands — entrance
How to Get There
- Alliance: Open the portal room in Stormwind (Mage Tower, Mage Quarter). Use the portal to Mount Hyjal. After teleporting, mount up on a flying mount and fly south to coordinates 47, 78.
- Horde: Open the portal room in Orgrimmar (Warchief's Command Board area or Cataclysm portal area). Use the portal to Mount Hyjal. Then fly south to the same coordinates.
- Alternative route: If the portal is unavailable, you can fly directly from Dalaran (Northrend or Broken Isles) across Kalimdor to Mount Hyjal.
Prerequisites: No quest chains or keys are required to enter the raid. You can enter the dungeon directly.
Path to Alysrazor Inside the Raid
Alysrazor is located in the northeastern part of the raid, at the Shatterstone location. In Firelands, the first five bosses (Shannox, Lord Rhyolith, Beth'tilac, Alysrazor, and Baleroc) can be killed in any order. This means you can head straight to Alysrazor right after entering, bypassing the other bosses. You only need to clear a few groups of trash mobs along the way.
Farming Optimization
Weekly Reset and Lockout System
Starting from patch 8.2.5, Firelands uses a flexible lockout system. Normal and Heroic difficulties have separate lockouts. This means each character can kill Alysrazor twice per week — once on each difficulty.
Recommended Route
- Enter the raid (before entering, right-click your character portrait and select the desired difficulty)
- Run straight to the northeastern part of the raid, clearing trash mobs along the way
- Kill Alysrazor (at level 80, the fight takes a few seconds)
- Check the loot
- Exit the raid, switch difficulty, re-enter, and repeat
Time per run: 3–5 minutes (including travel and combat).
Using Alts
Since the mount drop chance is approximately 2%, it is most efficient to use as many characters as possible.
| Characters | Attempts per Week | Average Time to Obtain |
|---|---|---|
| 1 character | 2 | ~50 weeks (about 1 year) |
| 5 characters | 10 | ~10 weeks (2–3 months) |
| 10 characters | 20 | ~5 weeks (1–1.5 months) |
Recommended Classes
At level 80, any class destroys Cataclysm content instantly. The key criterion is movement speed:
| Class | Advantage |
|---|---|
| Druid | Instant flight form; fastest flight to the raid after the portal |
| Demon Hunter | Double jump and glide speed up movement inside the raid |
| Mage | Teleportation saves time when switching between alts |
| Monk | Zen Pilgrimage for fast travel to the raid |
Additional Mount from Firelands
While farming Alysrazor, you can also kill Ragnaros (final boss) for the
Smoldering Egg of Millagazor — a flying mount called the Pureblood Fire Hawk with a similar drop chance. To access Ragnaros, you must kill all five initial bosses.
Tips
1
Set the difficulty before entering. Right-click your character portrait and select the desired mode under "Raid Difficulty." Remember to clear the raid on both difficulties for the maximum number of attempts.
2
Use the SavedInstances addon. It shows which characters have already cleared the raid for the current week, saving you unnecessary flights.
3
Use the Rarity addon. This addon tracks the number of your attempts and calculates the statistical probability of obtaining the mount based on accumulated data.
4
Combine with Ragnaros farming. If you are willing to spend an additional 5–7 minutes, kill the remaining bosses and reach Ragnaros for the
Smoldering Egg of Millagazor. Two chances at a rare mount per run.
5
Raid resets every Wednesday (for European servers). Plan your farming sessions for the beginning of the week so you don't miss the reset.
6
Watch the Black Market Auction House. If the mount appears on the BMAH in Dornogal, it may be a faster (though more expensive) way to obtain it.
7
The mount is ground-only. Keep this in mind when choosing — if you're looking for a flying hawk from Firelands, check out the
Smoldering Egg of Millagazor from Ragnaros.
