Obtaining: Rivendare’s Deathcharger can drop from the last boss of Stratholme (Service Gate) – Lord Aurius Rivendare with a speculated drop chance of 1% on Normal difficulty. Simply run the dungeon fully clearing it until the mount drops. Make sure to follow a map attached in step 2 of this guide if you are not sure how to.
1) The service gate is located in the Eastern Plaguelands zone and is shown right in front of the cursor on the map below.
The entrance to the dungeon is located behind the gate. Interact with the gate to open it. Go inside and turn right.
2) The dungeon needs to be completed following a certain path in order to unlock final bosses. Apart from killing all the bosses you will encounter in your way, three buildings must be entered and cleared of mobs before proceeding further. Entrances to the buildings are located behind each of the first three bosses of the dungeon.
3) To spawn Ramstein the Gorger (penultimate boss of the instance), kill all abominations present in the area in front of the slaughterhouse.
4) Two waves of mobs will spawn shortly after Ramstein’s death. Clearing them will unlock the room where Aurius is located.
5) Enter the room and kill Aurius Rivendare for a chance at the Rivendare’s Deathcharger, leave the dungeon and reset it before entering again.
Extra Tips: To quickly teleport out of the dungeon and reset it, abilities like druids’ Dreamwalk or monks’ Zen Pilgrimage can be used. Second cast of the ability will return you to the entrance of the dungeon (don’t forget to reset it before reentering). Alternatively, creating a group in the lfg tool and consecutive leaving of the group (without delisting it from the lfg) will trigger a mechanic teleporting you out of the instance after one minute countdown.
