The Reins of the Astral Cloud Serpent has roughly a 1% drop rate from Elegon in the Mogu’shan Vaults. The difficulty or raid size do not impact the drop chance of the mount (excluding LFR).
The entrance to Mogu’shan Vaults can be found within the North Kun-Lai Summit in Pandaria. Although it’s difficult to reach the entrance without flying.
To easily get to Pandaria take the portal to Jade Forest in the portal room in either Stormwind or Orgrimmar.
Elegon is the 5th boss of the raid and unfortunately the prior 4 bosses must be defeated to reach Elegon but all the bosses in the raid are very trivial to defeat.
Enter the raid and follow the path to the first boss The Stone Guard, engage and defeat them. The door will open and you will find two stone statues, you need to defeat these to continue, stand right inside them to aggro them if you are on a higher level character.
Repeat this for the next set of statues and then the second boss will become active. Defeat this and continue, the door ahead will open and you must clear all of the trash in this area, including the enemies in the sky.
Once the trash is defeated the third boss will become active, defeat him and move on. Lorewalker Cho will be in the next area, talk with him to be able to defeat the trash. Once the trash is defeated, head up the stairs and defeat the fourth boss.
A passage will open on the lower section once the boss is defeated. Head down this passage and go right. Continue on this path and defeat the trash within the large room. Lorewalker Cho will run into the room and after brief RP you will be able to talk with him. Do this to activate Elegon.
If you are lower level then you may reach the phase where orbs travel towards Elegon, if you dont manage to defeat them all then the floor will disappear so just be ready to move to the outer ring when this happens.
Once defeated, loot the celestial chest (may be under the trash you defeated) for a chance at the Astral Cloud Serpent
Extra Tips: Since you can only clear the raid once per week per character, run the raid on your alts to have more than one chance per week.
