A small treasure in World of Warcraft contains a really cool mount. We reveal how to loot the Tame Gladerunner and get a new mount.
On the way to the world boss Oranamonos, many players pass by a treasure in Ardenweald that they have not looted yet: the Tame Gladerunner. However, the treasure cannot simply be opened and disappears as you approach it. We reveal how to obtain the treasure and thus the stylish mount Shimmering Gladerunner.
What do you have to do? To acquire the Shimmering Gladerunner and loot the treasure “Tame Gladerunner,” you need to solve a small riddle. This resembles the riddle you already know from the dungeon Tirna Scithe, as you have to traverse the forest in a specific order. Only if you switch from area to area in the correct order can you ultimately acquire the mount.
How to get the Shimmering Gladerunner in WoW
Head to the coordinates 31 / 54 in Ardenweald. This is the spot where you would go down into the maze from the first boss in the dungeon Tirna Scithe.
Now, pass through a large archway to the west, where it leads down into the maze. Pay attention to the blue lanterns hanging from the archway! You must follow these lanterns (without mistakes). This means:
- Turn left at the first intersection.
- At the next intersection, go right.
- Then go left through the archway and directly back to the right.
- Now you have 4 options. Take the third exit from the left; next to it, you will see a blue lamp.
- At the last intersection, take the second branch from the left and you will reach the treasure.
If you did everything correctly, you can now attack the elite enemy Shizgher. Defeat him to then click on the glowing unicorn and obtain the mount.
If Shizgher disappears when you enter the glade, then you have not followed the correct path. Start over from the beginning. Occasionally, there can also be a bug where WoW does not count all steps correctly. If so, you will need to start again from the beginning.
Flying or with stealth makes it easier: If you want to simplify the whole task a bit, you can fly the route within seconds and avoid fights. Flying with a mount in Shadowlands is not yet possible, but there is an item in Ardenweald that helps: Pinch of Fairy Dust.
You can loot this from the Fae east of the Heart of the Forest, at the coordinates 53 / 61. You can hold several of these items in your inventory, but be aware that they only have a short duration and will then dissolve. So it’s best to gather four or five of them and then head to the treasure.
To solve the riddle while flying, you should hover just above the ground. If you fly too high, the game may not register the correct switch from one section to the next.
Have you already obtained the mount? Or do you pass by the unopened treasure each time, gritting your teeth?
