WoW Midnight Season 2 Mounts Guide: All Sources

WoW Midnight Season 2 adds more than 22 mounts across Patch 12.1 activities. The collection spans fixed Mythic+ rating rewards, raid achievements and drops, rated PvP, Delves, Prey, the Zul'jarra's Forces renown track, Captain Tokka's crew, Coiled Isle rares and achievements, and the Altar of Fangs dungeon.

The rewards with the clearest seasonal urgency are Breath of Blight at 2,000 Mythic+ rating, Breath of Ruin at 3,000 rating, and Venomous Gladiator's Goredrake for 50 3v3 wins while at Elite. Other mounts are tied to Season 2 journeys or activities but do not all share the same confirmed removal rule.

This guide separates the mounts by acquisition method, explains which goals need weekly progress, and flags data that remains unresolved before the August 18 season launch.

How Many Mounts Are in WoW Midnight Patch 12.1?

Wowhead describes Patch 12.1 as introducing more than 22 mounts. Its July 30 quick-reference table contains 21 named mount-item entries, lists the Vicious Lightbloom Boar for both factions, and shows four additional model placeholders whose sources are still unknown.

That distinction matters. A model appearing in datamining does not prove that its mount item will be obtainable on launch day. This article counts every named mount in Wowhead's acquisition table, treats the faction boars as two visual variants of the same named reward, and keeps the four source-TBD models in a separate section.

Complete Midnight Season 2 Mount List and Sources

What Do the Midnight Season 2 Mounts Look Like?

All 21 named mounts in the acquisition table have published models. Each card below names the mount and the activity that awards it, so a target can be picked by appearance and then looked up in the table above.

Which Midnight Season 2 Mounts Are Time-Limited?

Three rewards have explicit requirements tied to Midnight Season 2 itself:

• Breath of Blight: earn 2,000 Mythic+ rating during Season 2.
• Breath of Ruin: earn 3,000 Mythic+ rating during Season 2.
• Venomous Gladiator's Goredrake: earn 50 qualifying 3v3 wins while at Elite during Season 2.

The Apophic Soul Crusher is also attached to the Season 2 Nemesis achievement, and the Delver's and Prey journeys are seasonal progression tracks. Those should be prioritized even where Blizzard has not published a simple “removed on this date” sentence for every associated reward.

By contrast, the current sources do not announce a Season 2 retirement date for the Crimson Venomfang, Primeval Skyfriend, Coiled Isle rare drops, renown mounts, or exploration achievements. Do not assume every mount introduced alongside a season disappears with that season.

How Do You Get the Mythic+ Season 2 Mounts?

The Mythic+ mounts use fixed rating thresholds across the eight-dungeon Season 2 pool. Midnight Keystone Master: Season 2 awards Breath of Blight at 2,000 rating. Midnight Keystone Legend: Season 2 awards Breath of Ruin at 3,000.

These are separate rewards. Reaching 2,000 does not award both mounts; a character must reach 3,000 for Breath of Ruin. Because score comes from the best Fortified and Tyrannical results across the full pool, evenly improving weak dungeons is normally more efficient than repeatedly pushing only one favorite key.

How Do You Get the Venomous Abyss Raid Mounts?

The raid offers one achievement mount and one Mythic end-boss drop:

• Crimson Venomfang comes from Glory of the Venomous Raider, the meta-achievement for completing the listed special achievements in The Venomous Abyss. It is a coordination goal rather than a random personal drop.
• Primeval Skyfriend drops from Mythic Ula'tek. Blizzard states that each Mythic kill drops three mounts. That means three raid members receive one on a kill; it does not mean every player is guaranteed the mount.

Primeval Skyfriend is the hardest group-progression reward in the list because it requires defeating the final boss on Mythic. Crimson Venomfang can be planned as a dedicated achievement run once the group overgears the encounters, but every required criterion must be completed.

How Do You Get the Season 2 PvP Mounts?

The Venomous Gladiator's Goredrake is awarded by Gladiator: Midnight Season 2. The requirement is 50 wins in 3v3 Arena while the character is at Elite rank. Reaching Elite is only the gate; the counter begins with qualifying wins and does not complete merely because a character touches the rating once.

The Vicious Lightbloom Boar is the Season 2 Vicious reward. Alliance and Horde receive faction-armored variants. Rated wins at 1,000 rating or higher advance the seasonal Vicious bar, with the amount of progress depending on the rated bracket. The current sources do not justify promising one fixed number of matches for every mode.

How Do You Get the Midnight Season 2 Delve Mounts?

The two Soul Crushers split into a skill achievement and a Journey unlock:

• Apophic Soul Crusher is awarded by Let Me Solo Him: Azta'rec, requiring a solo defeat of the Season 2 Delve Nemesis. Pre-launch achievement data still displays the required tier as “??,” so no responsible guide should publish a numerical tier yet.
• Corroded Soul Crusher unlocks at Delver's Journey Rank 5 and is obtained from Telemancer Astrandis. The Journey is Warband-wide, so playing Delves on multiple characters contributes to the same seasonal track.

How Do You Get the Season 2 Prey Mounts?

Hexflame Reaver is a drop from Ral'kala during the hunt Prey: A Ghostly Nightmare. No verified drop percentage is published in the supplied guide, so treat it as an RNG farm rather than budgeting a guaranteed number of kills.

Preyhunter's Fury unlocks at Prey Journey Rank 10 and comes from Construct V'anore. Wowhead's guide table and raw PTR item record currently disagree about the displayed Remnant of Anguish cost, so build the Journey first, retain the currency you earn, and confirm the live vendor price before spending it elsewhere.

Prey Normal and Hard open during the week of August 11. Nightmare Mode and Curse of the Isle open during the week of August 18, which is when the full Season 2 Prey route becomes relevant.

Which Mounts Come From Zul'jarra's Forces and Captain Tokka?

These four mounts use predictable reputation or quest progress:

Reaching Rank 10 does not instantly grant Spirit of Tok'jara. It opens a six-part sequence beginning with Ancestral Gems and ending with The Innocent Essence, with Wowhead's current data showing at least six days because each step is daily-gated. Start it as soon as Rank 10 unlocks.

Which Mounts Come From the Coiled Isle and Vaults of Atal'Utek?

The outdoor collection covers exploration, rare hunting, currency farming, repeated patrols, and a larger zone meta:

• Auriferous Venomfang: complete Treasures of the Coiled Isle. Use the achievement tracker rather than revisiting every treasure after losing track.
• Ruby Writhe and Topaz Skyfang: both are listed as rare drops from Coiled Isle rare creatures. Wowhead does not publish a guaranteed kill count.
• Caustic Venomfang: buy it from Skull of Er'inye in the Vaults of Atal'Utek for 10,000 Corrosive Coin. The current item record places the vendor around 51.2, 62.4 in the Vaults.
• Emerald Skyfang: complete 250 patrols within the Vaults for Pro Poison Patroller. Begin early because this is a volume achievement, not a one-session discovery task.
• Venomous Coiler: complete Assault the Vault, the Vaults of Atal'Utek meta-achievement.

The efficient approach is to overlap these objectives: complete patrols while earning Corrosive Coin, check needed rares, and work through Assault the Vault criteria instead of treating each mount as a separate farm.

Where Does The Writhing Brood Drop?

The Writhing Brood drops from Zul'jan in the new Altar of Fangs dungeon. It is listed as a drop rather than an achievement or vendor purchase. Neither the supplied guide nor the current item record provides a verified percentage, so avoid claims such as “guaranteed” or “one percent” until live loot data supports them.

Altar of Fangs opens in Heroic and Mythic 0 during the week of August 11 and joins Mythic+ on August 18. Players pursuing both dungeon score and the mount can prioritize keys for Altar of Fangs, but personal-loot eligibility and any difficulty restrictions should be confirmed on the live encounter journal.

Which Patch 12.1 Mount Sources Are Still Unknown?

Wowhead currently lists four model placeholders without acquisition sources:

• Writhes Mount — Yellow
• Venom Serpent — White
• Wind Serpent — Pink
• Wind Serpent — White

These are not complete acquisition entries. They may receive item names and sources in later data, be reserved for future content, or remain unused. They should not be included in a “guaranteed launch checklist,” sold as obtainable rewards, or assigned speculative drop locations.

What Are the Easiest and Hardest Season 2 Mounts?

“Easy” depends on whether the obstacle is skill, time, a group, currency, or RNG. The cleanest comparison is by acquisition risk:

For deadline planning, prioritize the fixed seasonal goals first, then journey progress, then permanent deterministic grinds. RNG drops can consume unlimited attempts and should not displace a reward with a known end-of-season requirement.

How to Farm Every Midnight Season 2 Mount Efficiently

• Mark Breath of Blight, Breath of Ruin, Venomous Goredrake, and the Azta'rec achievement as deadline goals.
• Begin Mythic+ rating and rated PvP early so weekly availability, balance changes, and queue times do not compress the final month.
• Advance Delver's Journey and Prey Journey every week while checking their mount-vendor unlock ranks.
• Start Spirit of Tok'jara's six-day quest chain immediately after reaching Zul'jarra's Forces Rank 10.
• Save 14,000 Voidlight Marl for the Rank 17 and Rank 19 renown mounts unless live prices change.
• Combine Vault patrols, Corrosive Coin, rare checks, treasures, and Assault the Vault criteria into one Coiled Isle route.
• Schedule Glory of the Venomous Raider separately from ordinary progression because achievement mechanics often require deliberate raid behavior.
• Treat Primeval Skyfriend as a three-per-kill Mythic distribution problem, not a guaranteed personal reward.
• Farm Altar of Fangs and Ral'kala only with realistic RNG expectations; no verified attempt count guarantees either mount.
• Recheck Wowhead and the live mount journal after launch for the four unknown models and any corrected PTR costs.
