Have you ever played WoW? Do you remember the cosmic serpent mount Astral Cloud Serpent that could be dropped by Elegon in the Mogu’shan Vaults? Well, the Astral Emperor’s Serpent is a golden recolor of that mount, and there’s everything to love about it.
Here’s a quick guide on how to get the Astral Emperor’s Serpent mount. Hurry up! As Wow Remix: Mists of Pandaria will be gone at the end of the month.
Unlocking this mount is easy. You’ll need to get the Vale of Eternal Blossoms achievement, which consists of other smaller achievements. There are a total of four achievements, but you only need to complete any two of them to obtain the Vale of Eternal Blossom’s major achievement and secure the mount.
The smaller achievements are:
- Looking For Group: Vale of Eternal Blossoms
- Elusive Foes: Vale of Eternal Blossoms
- The August Celestials
- Golden Lotus
Looking For Group: Vale of Eternal Blossoms
This achievement is quite straightforward as it requires doing content that you can complete while leveling up a character or doing any other type of content. It requires you to complete several instances of group content. The instances required are the following:
- Mogu’shan Palace
- Scarlet Halls
- Scarlet Monastery
- Scholomance
- Raid Finder: Terrace of Endless Spring
Use the group finder tool to find quick groups for every instance. Players in WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria are quite powerful so you will complete this in no time.
Elusive Foes: Vale Of Eternal Blossoms
This achievement tasks you with defeating three rare enemies scattered around the zone. Below are the rare enemies required for the achievement, along with their map coordinates and TomTom command to indicate their positions.
- Major Nanners – (31.0, 91.6) – /way #390 31.0 91.6 Major Nanners
- Kal’tik the Blight – (14.0, 58.6) – /way #390 14.0 58.6 Kal’tik the Blight
- Urgolax – (39.8, 25.0) – /way #390 39.8 25.0 Urgolax
- Sahn Tidehunter – (69.6, 30.8) – /way #390 69.6 30.8 Sahn Tidehunter
- Kang the Soul Thief – (15.0, 35.6) – /way #390 15.0 35.6 Kang the Soul Thief
- Ai-Ran the Shifting Cloud – (42.6, 69.0) – /way #390 42.6 69.0 Ai-Ran the Shifting Cloud
- Yorik Sharpeye – (87.8, 44.6) – /way #390 87.8 44.6 Yorik Sharpeye
- Moldo One-Eye – (39.6, 53.4) – /way #390 39.6 53.4 Moldo One-Eye (this one may be in different locations but it is always around this point).
My advice for this achievement is to go slowly. Choose which rare you want to go to, and go, if it’s there: kill it, if it’s not there: wait until it spawns. It’s not worth going around waiting to see if one spawns by chance while you are routing through the different spawn points.
Reputation Achievements: Golden Lotus/August Celestials
Both these achievements are reputation-farming achievements: you have to reach Exalted reputation with that faction.
The fastest way to achieve this is by completing daily quests, which unlock at level 40 for the Golden Lotus and can be picked up at the Setting Sun Garrison. Players can also quickly increase their reputation by killing Mogu at the Ruins of Guo-Lai and the caves near The Golden Stair.
Farming the August Celestials takes a bit longer. You’ll need to locate Sage Whiteheart (Alliance) and Sage Lotusbloom (Horde) at your respective sanctuary. From there, you will be sent to one of the four celestials in Pandaria, who will provide a small chain of daily quests.
There are also some rares that may drop an item called: Stolen —- Insignia (with —- being Klaxxi, Golden Lotus, Celestial, or Shado-Pan). These items, combined with the boosted reputation in WoW Remix, are a quick way to get those reputations exalted as quickly as possible. Some of these rares are:
- War-God Dokah <Ward of Beasts> – /way #507 78.6 80.6 War-God Dokah
- Zandalari Warbringer (Dread Wastes) – /way #422 47.6 61.6 Zandalari Warbringer
- Zandalari Warbringer (Krasarang Wilds) – /way #418 38.6 67.2 Zandalari Warbringer
- Zandalari Warbringer (Townlong Steppes) – /way #388 36.6 85.6 Zandalari Warbringer
- Zandalari Warbringer (The Jade Forest) – /way #371 52.6 19.0 Zandalari Warbringer
Conclusion
The easiest way to obtain the mount is by completing the first two achievements. ‘Looking For Group: Vale of Eternal Blossoms’ is an achievement you can gradually accomplish as you level up your character, and defeating the rares is easy if you know where to find them. Once you have earned two of the four achievements, enjoy your new mount!
