Flametalon of Alysrazor — How to Get the Mount

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.

• 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

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.

The Firelands raid is located in the southern part of Mount Hyjal (continent of Kalimdor). The entrance is in Sulfuron Spire.

How to Get There

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.

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

1. Enter the raid (before entering, right-click your character portrait and select the desired difficulty)
2. Run straight to the northeastern part of the raid, clearing trash mobs along the way
3. Kill Alysrazor (at level 80, the fight takes a few seconds)
4. Check the loot
5. 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.

Recommended Classes

At level 80, any class destroys Cataclysm content instantly. The key criterion is movement speed:

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.
