Guide
The Mimiron’s Head mount drops from Yogg-Saron on roughly a 1% drop rate. You must defeat the final boss of Ulduar while no keepers are active. There is only one version of the instance, so you don’t have to worry about the difficulty of the raid.
By far the most efficient way of farming this mount is done through a lockout sharing. If you prefer farming the entire raid normally, skip to step 2.
1) Choose one specific character to be a lockout sharer. Once the raid is cleared up until the Yogg-Saron, this character leaves the raid and never kills him. Instead, use this character to share the lockout every week with your alts or friends. This way you are able to enter the raid and port straight to the Yogg’s room on your alts.
After this, your weekly farming routine looks like this:
1.1) Position your farming toon in front of the Ulduar;
1.2) Log over to your lockout sharer;
1.3) Make sure your lockout is active (type ‘/raidinfo’ in chat, find your Ulduar lockout and extend it if it’s your first time after the weekly reset);
1.4) Create a group on your lockout sharer and log over to the farming toon;
1.5) Apply to the group and log back over to the sharer;
1.6) Invite your farming character to the group and log over again;
1.7) Accept the invitation on your farming toon and enter the raid before the party lead is passed to the farming character;
Note: if your computer is too slow to execute this process, try disabling add-ons and lowering graphics.
1.8) Walk to the Ulduar Teleporter, use it to port to the prison of Yogg-Saron and kill him;
1.9) Reset all instances on your lockout sharer and repeat for all your alts.
2) To clear the raid normally, you do not have to kill all bosses.
After you enter the raid, talk to the Brann Bronzebeard near the base camp. Hop into a nearby bike after it activates and/or run to the first boss.
Keep going straight after you kill the first boss, kill XT-002 and use the teleporter behind him to port to the Antechamber of Ulduar.
3) Proceed straight until you reach The Inner Sanctum. Kill all bosses in this area but do NOT talk to any friendly npcs.
4) At the end of this route you will reach the train that will take you to the Mimiron. Walk in and activate it.
Once the train stops, walk away from it and head straight down to Mimiron’s room. After his defeat, return to the nearest teleporter and port to the Conservatory of Life. Now you are able to make your way into the prison of Yogg-Saron.
5) Once you reach the prison of Yogg-saron, start walking over plague clouds to spawn boss’ trash.
Kite the minions to Sara and kill them on top of her. After a few are dead, Yogg-Saron will show himself.
Kill his tentacles until portals around his body appear.
Enter one and kill all mobs you see in the room. This will expose the brain of Yogg-Saron. Kill it and after you are out of the realm of madness you will be able to kill the boss.
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.
