Kill them and continue. All in all, this is pretty easy. Comment by Vrtsman Rolling on this item does not get you the Needy achievement. Comment by "Think of all the thousands of murlocs, centaurs, elves, orcs etc. Mount" after their names in the pet interface. Comment by Teel Can some one explain when the timer actually starts?
Is it when you enter the instance, talk to Chromie sp? Comment by Got this mount on my first try and first time in Culling of Stratholme. We killed this boss in under 40 seconds with a pug group, it was nuts.
We had 3 seconds left on our timer when he died and dropped the mount. In addition, he dropped 1 emblem of heroism. I had to roll against 3 others, but managed to win the mount. I did not have epic flying, but was still able to loot it. If you don't kill him in that time, even while fighting him, he will go immune and run off. Comment by Dole The time when you would use a swiftness potion is when there are mobs at the Inn and you are at the way other side, you would use a swiftness potion and have a Mage spam Arcane Explosion on your way.
Comment by Boshea We'll likely be seeing this resized. Currently the same size as every other drake mount on the ptr. Shame really, I expected a mount related to Chromie to be smaller.
He will no longer available in the dungeon after the 25 minutes mark. There is a timer which indicates how long you would have left. AoE particularly that of death knights is particularly effective in this case. Do note that Arthas himself wastes a ton of time. So much for being enthusiastic about saving his people, heh.
I've killed the Infinite Corruptor thrice now, although losing my roll on the drake all three times. The entire place is also very AoE demanding. I find that it's necessary to bring at least one AoE class. DKs should do fine and a mage would help out alot too.
Every one of my three runs we had to have the tank run through the last part, pulling about 2 groups at a time scourge infested area and having the AoEs take down groups. A common mistake that groups make is that they waste time running around during the scourge waves. Have someone who knows the order of things. The NPC will shout "Scourge forces had been spotted at. The former being the west of the vertical gate where the 3 ghouls first surprise spawn and the latter being to the east.
After beating Chrono-lord Epoch, run through the bookshelf and clear out the scourge on the other side. Instead, keep running until you reach a part of the city that does not seem to be scourge-infested ie. Keep following that pass and you will see the Infinite Corruptor.
Comment by It should be noted that for the gauntlet, you could bring a Blood DK and enter a few fights until he can summon his rune weapon for the full amount of time.
The blood DK will gain in 2 ghouls instead of 1 and a double sized army of the dead. It gets hectic but clears very quickly this way if you have a good mage and prot pally. Comment by Tylen The latest patch changed the size of this drake. He's no longer smaller than his red and white counterparts.
This makes me sad. The smaller size is what made this drake so much more appealing to me than the others. Comment by No global cooldown on this mount as of patch 3. Comment by Kureel Never seen bronze dragons smaller than the rest, but anyway the size has been fixed in 3. This drake is the same size as the red drake from Wyrmrest rep. Comment by Luniwenor Heh, i always wondered why my first thought was "such a beautiful girl!
Comment by racedude As of patch 3. Comment by Aerilas Drake is a Dragon that isn't reach maturity yet. Basicly a teenager Dragon. About that slavery discussion, I don't think you enslave a drake when you have it as a mount.
You just simply take it as a companion in your travels, maybe adopting it in someway, or take with you as a guardian, maybe simply become friends. There are no official confirmed information on this so it's all about your imaginaton, How you wanna role play it? You want to be a Hero with a Drake companion? Or would you like to be a cruel slave master that commands a Drake under his will?
Whatever you want.. Comment by Sprite looks a bit borked right now, at least for an orc. I'll see myself wiggling around then snapping back into place while sitting awkwardly to the side. Nothing big but kinda annoying nonetheless.
Comment by Seany If you don't make the timed run with him, you wouldn't have made it without him anyway. Comment by CoS Heroic , worse part is waiting for Arthas to move his butt at times. I also use Hammer of the Righteous and Shield of Righteousness to get almost instant agro either on single target or three, and Holy Wrath should the healer be having a hard time keeping me at full as it stuns all undead and gives time to heal me to full.
Also, during the initial 10 pulls right at the start, one thing i do is race in , select the undead, cast Avenger's Shield , then change target to the humanoid spell-caster and Hammer of Justice to stun them and burn them down fast All up, a fun and exciting instance, done the timed run twice now, and twice Ive lost the roll for the drake.
You don't need the best gear in the world, but i would say 25K HP, and Def, with about 24k Armour Happy hunting and I hope this fragmented post helps you in some way. There is really no strategy to it. If your group is decently geared and doesn't waste any time between packs of undead you will get it easily. Our group was unholy DK me , frost DK, enhance shammy, ret paladin, holy paladin. Comment by Has anyone realized that you're kind of crooked on the drake?
Eh it's still cool as hell. Comment by Any group with decently equipped and well-behaved DPS can get to the Corruptor in time. A good measure of your dps is not meters, but how often is the healer forced to mana break. If you you mana break after any trash pulls, forget about the drake. On the downside of success, you will very soon see more and more people sporting these mounts, making the one you have obtained just another fish in the pool.
Comment by I think every single one of you missed his point. Comment by Havn't been able to kill the mobs which drop the mount because of group members who are slackers who can't do anything right Elemental shaman Totems! Ret paladin Buffs!
Hunter Meh Holy pally Me and Buffs! We had easy control over the zombies, and we had a load of buffs. With replenishment and mana spring totem mana was not an issue. Our hunter died on the gauntlet but we still managed to get to him with 2 minutes left. We popped every CD Including bloodlust and got him down with 1 minute to spare : Running through the gauntlet was the most intense and enjoyable bit, especially with a load of zombies on you.
This was my first time healing it and was glad when we did it : I rolled a 55 and came top, i finally got lucky :P. Comment by If you're running late on the timer don't give up, the Infinite Corrupter doesn't have to die before the Bronze Dragonflight agent is converted in order for the mount to drop.
Towards the end of the gauntlet the rogue, in an epic display of ingenuity, sprinted to the boss and pulled him to me with ToTT. We kited him back through the gauntlet and ended up killing him right at the portal. Don't give up on the timer. Comment by I got it some weeks ago, we were lucky though, we didnt want to get it, and our group litterally lacked Dps It was me Fury warrior, 1.
But can anyone please, please tell me how to grind up 5k gold so i can Use him? Comment by The timed run is pretty easy to do if you have the right dps.
Here are the rules: 1. Always keep running to the next spot unless you have just killed a boss and are waiting for the next spawn. If that is the case, then stand in the middle of the spawn area, which is located where the first spawn is. In the beginning, go to where the first spawn spawns instead of watching Arthas talk.
Always tell Arthas you're ready, even if you aren't. He moves pretty slow in some places and you will save time that way. The part that really separates the men from the boys is the undead area leading up to Mal'Ganis. When Arthas decides to rest, keep on going; he'll catch up.
After that, I got the hang of it. Have them AoE when there are more than mobs. That's pretty much it, other than to blow off all of your cooldowns on the boss, since the timer keeps on going until you kill him, not when you engage him. All that's left is to get g for the training. Good luck, and happy DPS'ing! Comment by can ppl who dont have epic flying skill to roll on this mount? Comment by GmAz I did this last night. First time was on regular just to do it and that was weeks ago.
Last night I had a group that was just spot on. We went in there and just own'd face. We had one death, but with Arthas doing his RPG crap, rez was easy.
The hunter and I had an average DPS of 2. I didn't think it was high enough, but we did just fine. I plan on doing it more for easy Emblems of Heroism and helping the rest of that group get drakes too.
Comment by Dragons are too old, powerful, and proud to be willing to let themselves be common mounts. Most sources I've seen regarding people riding Dragons as opposed to Drakes say that the only reason it happens is because the rider has earned enough of the Dragon's respect to ride it; even then, it's only temporary. Comment by The timed run is extremely easy. First ever run of CoS, normal OR heroic, and my group made it with 7 minutes left. Just keep your cool, focus where you're told to go, and you can have this mount.
Comment by kostyan Wanted to mention that you CAN roll on it even if you haven't learned Artisian Riding yet unlike some other items that require certain skill level to be able to roll.
Comment by Hello all, we've become pretty good at this and I thought I would post some tips and tricks. In the Heroic version of Culling of Stratholme, you have the opportunity to get a Bronze Drake for someone in your party.
Here are few pointers to get you going: You need to have decent gear. Most of this is a DPS race, you have to have heroic gear to be able to do this successfully. We were only successful in a group with one healer. We tried a few times with 2 healers because of availability, but we wiped both times with one minute left, low DPS unable to get the boss down. For the first 10 waves, you should be able to run nonstop and know where you're going at all times. That means starting off right on top of the first wave of ghouls and making quick work of them.
As soon as the flag for the next wave shows on your map, your tank should be taking off and going. Ignore zombies along the way, they will be part of the AOE destruction at your destination. We find that getting casters down first in all instances works well, and AOEing every group.
The bosses in these waves are both very easy. You get a slight break after Meathook wave 5 , use it to reposition the party at the middle so the next wave is a short run in either direction. We can usually get through these 10 waves with at least 17 minutes left on the timer in our best group.
After wave 10, sprint to the door of the next location, kill all the zombies, and wait for Arthas. As soon as he arrives talk to him so he advances the story. A good tank will know exactly where to position himself to pick up the dragonflight as they spawn in this part of the instance. On the pull where you have casters at one end of the hallway and melee at the other, have the tank stand with the casters and have melee DPS pull the melee into the meatgrinder of AOE from the other end of the hall.
The boss here is also cake, and a good metric is that if you get the boss down with 7 minutes or more remaining, you have a good shot at getting your mount. But you have to hurry! Now you have a choice. If you 10 minutes or more, I recommend talking to Arthas at the bottom of the stairs and doing the guantlet normally.
If you're around 7 or under, don't talk to Arthas again after the bookshelf! He spawns more adds and makes the guantlet take a bit longer. The only downside is that to finish the instance you have to go back and reclear the guantlet if you don't talk to him at the bottom of the stairs. The guantlet is very chaotic and very fun. It depends a lot on the tank's situational awareness and his knowledge of his party and what they can handle.
The basic strategy is to pick out the elites from the mob, charge them, get enough threat to hold them, and pick out the next elite, etc.
You have to know how much your party can handle and when to stop, and a lot of it depends on how much time you have left. Usually we take elites and zombies at a time. You have to move fast, but wiping is worse than moving slow. You don't need to go down that tunnel to get your drake. At the end of the other tunnel is the time boss, grab him and tank him. Make sure your healer is within range of your tank. He isn't hard and has about k hp, so you can kill him pretty easily even with only 2 minutes left.
We used to pull him away, but we ran out of time on one attempt and he runs so quickly back to the portal that kiting him away doesn't help. You simply can't catch him to finish him off so wasting the time kiting isn't worth it. Loot your new mount! Comment by Did this with a Pally Healer, DK tank, For dps we had a destro lock, arcane mage and a shammy can't remember spec We had a few stupid deaths but we still had about 3 min left when we engaged the corrupter.
With heroism we were able to down him in roughly 30 seconds, with each of us pulling over 2. In the inn there are some tricky ambush sequences you're tank has to be aware of and watch out for.
Done this with 9 mins to spare after 3th boss and we ended up with 4 min to spare after Corrupter's death. Comment by Irriel Just got mine a couple of hours ago with two minutes left on the clock.
This was my third attempt, the first two being pugs, while this one only had a pug tank selected because he had the achievement already , and some friends.
It really requires solid healing and tanking, with some face melting DPS. Didn't run into any mana issues, even going full-burn with all of my cooldowns, as there are a couple of breaks to drink, plus times where you can chug a runic mana pot plus using mana sapphires for the mage tier armor bonus. I'd say it isn't too difficult, just make sure you don't try to throw together a random pug for it. You really need experienced players. Comment by It appears the roll is almost never won by someone who has yet to learn their epic flyer training.
Can anyone confirm if someone who has yet to train for epic flying has won the drake over someone who already as the training? Comment by This mount is off the GCD. Comment by Mordach I would highly recommend trying to get this Drake.
It's one of the most stunning mounts in the game other than the Blue Drake and since it's slightly smaller than the other drakes, it takes up less of your screen.
It's been my main mount since I got it and I think you'll like it too. Comment by Welfare Mount, easy to get and now almost makes you look bad riding it. Was cool when I first got it, now all the bads have it. Comment by agentex50 I had an amazing run today! First off, everyone in the raid had this beauty except me and a priest. Second, we reached the Corruptor with 5 minutes left. This is the make-up we had: 1.
Protection Pally tank 2. Survival Hunter me 3. Holy Priest healer 4. Shadow Priest dps, of course 5. Cleared the trash in the inn and got killed Epoch at 12 minutes. Cleared the Gauntlet and got to Market Row with 5 minutes left. Engaged and killed the Corruptor with 2 minutes to spare. The holy priest priest agreed to pass due to the fact that i payed him gold so He will start the event and, even if you engaged the Corruptor will die and BOTH bosses will despawn, therefore ruining the effort toward the mount drop.
Oddly enough, this was my first succesful timed CoS run. If you really want this mount, keep trying toward it and you will eventually get it. Comment by If you are to claim this lovely mount then u have to defeat the Timed boss.
Its actually quite hard. If u wipe, u might not manage to slay him before timer runs out. Even if u engage him before time is over, he will dissapear when the timer expires So make sure u have a nice grp with nice dps. He is very hard to reach in time. Comment by i can honestly say ive got to the boss that drops this everytime ive ran CoS HC, it is extremely easy.
Comment by I am so starting a group for this mount. Looks awsome, plus with the knowlage you guys have given me, it should be a breeze! Thanks for all the info :D. Comment by Ran this as an Unholy DK Tank and we made it to the boss with four minutes to spare, easily finishing him off.. In one instance I started to lose aggro as we finished off one set of mobs and took on the next.
I used Empower and quickly took control again. Death Pact is very helpful if the healer needs a breather. Pop your ghoul and then resummon once the CD expires. If the healer needs mana, I recommend they drink toward the very end of a mob fight especially before one of the boss fights so that things keep moving as DPS finishes off the last few mobs before moving on.
Doing the timed runs are a lot of fun. My group is going to run it again until everyone has a drake. Happy Hunting! Comment by actually the timer to do the first 2 bosses doesnt rly matter, as far as u got at least 9 mins when u reach the burning part of the city then ull have more than 4 mins left to down the Infinie Corruptor. Was 2x paladin, mage, warrior me , and DK.
DK DCed after first few mob waves and we done this time run with 4 man - was not easy but great challenge! And i won mount ;-. Comment by Rasztra Impressive, but not as impressive as the guy with the Azzinoth set behind you! Comment by Think of how big Alexstraza is when she's in dragon form. This as a mount is going to cover NPCs, which will bug the heck out of people, and will NOT fit into rooms, even big ones. Comment by Kintashi Last night i was in heroic CoS on my Death knight, First time on heroic in there, and i asked if we were doing the timed boss, the answer was yes, we arrived with 2 minutes left, killed him It being my first time there i didint know what he dropped Out drops an epic flying dragon, which, i won.
Sadly enough, i dont have epic flying skill, i have CWF and Outland Skill, but it just kind of bothers me i won it on accident when they could have acctualy used it. Comment by In all the comments so far, no one has thought to mention that this Bronze Drake drops from an agent of the Infinite flight. Quickly, we got though everything and got to the gauntlet with about minutes left, pretty good I thought.
I, the dk, forgot to AotD and we still go through fast, reaching the boss with 4 or so minutes to spare.
Only me and the cat druid didn't have the mount and I won the roll! Still happy about it, and the big shocker though was, we had 3 deaths, 3 rezs, and still had time to spare.
We did get lucky with spawns, but a note to anyone trying this, once people get 3. Even without even naxx gear you can do this, tank a heals having some would be nice, but insanely easy when you know what to do.
The mount will only drop for the dungeon party, it will not drop for each individual player. If you are in a party, you will all have to roll for it. You can easily run this dungeon at a level higher than the dungeon was created for solo and be guaranteed of winning the mount. It becomes evident at the start of the dungeon that Arthas was right all along about the disease infecting the inhabitants of the village.
This dungeon shouldn't be confused with Stratholme which is a lower normal only level dungeon from the original expansion. There are a total of 5 bosses in this instance and they are listed below in order of encounter as you progress through the dungeon. There's no register feature and no need to give an email address if you don't need to. All messages will be reviewed before being displayed.

Hold up, if you have a brown flight Dragon as a mount does that mean you can time travel? I'd imagine lore wise it could work, too bad it can't in-game.
