World of Warcraft isn’t just a game about fighting aliens (Draenor/Outland are both different planets/planes than Azeroth, in case you forgot!) in pointless conflicts while cosmic forces seek to destroy everything.
It’s also a robust mount collection simulator wherein you can explore 20ish years of collectibles. With that in mind, let’s add one of the easier mounts to your roster: the Slime Serpent. This leech with the overly descriptive name makes quite the entrance with its wriggling flesh snaking through the air. As if lubed up from the viscous slime covering it, this mount can be quickly obtained in less than 30 minutes.
Put on your rubber waders and let’s get slimy
The trick to obtaining the Slime Serpent is to solo the final two bosses, Domina Venomblade and Margrave Stradama, of the Shadowland‘s Plaguefall dungeon on Heroic or Mythic difficulty. At the time of this writing (the tail end of Dragonflight), if you’re sitting around 400+, you should be able to comfortably complete this challenge. The dungeon itself is located in the southeastern area of Maldraxxus.
With the dungeon’s denizens dealt with, turn around and you’ll see a teleporter that will take you back to the open area with the slime pits. On the left side of the path will be a new NPC, the Curious Slime Serpent. Jog on over and click his squishy head to add him to your stable.
This guide assumes that you’ve already unlocked the various zones from the Shadowlands expansion. If not, take the portal to Oribos from either Stormwind or Orgrimmar to get on your way. It shouldn’t add too much time to your efforts, so don’t fret too much.
