It takes at least 5 players that can mount at once, I do not know the upper limit of how many can mount this thing, but it is essentially a party mount minimum, that can help in M+ when you need to skip content, one person mount, the rest just go for the ride and many others times you could help people with a multi seat mount.

But I am writing here to say that Discord has blown up since this started, since we found the first clue and since we solved it.

YOU MUST HAVE 5 PLAYERS TO FINISH IT. You do not have to do each step along the way, but to get into the last rooms for Hivemind you have to have 5 players working in co-ordination.

I do fear though that unless Blizz makes it solo’able you are going to want to go get it sooner rather than later while there are players who are hyped and want to help each other finish this.

Not good if players are missing out on something this unique, not just the type of mount that transforms you like some other dual seat mounts, but the whole party mount part of it may not come about again.

Now it is on to you Blizzard, what do you have next for us?

The guide didn’t mention it, but i think Uuna and Waist of Time was required, or no?

Just got mine like 30 minutes ago :slight_smile: Pretty fun little chain of puzzles.

Did it take longer than the other secrets? I felt like when reading the guide I was a little overwhelmed.

6

Took me a couple of hours today, with a guide it’s not too bad. The most annoying part for me was the halls of origination puzzle, that took awhile.

I read that you need a group for the cats.

And do you need your original group for all of that part? Something like that? Could you elaborate? Thinking of tackling some/all of it now or possibly do it tomorrow…

You need a group starting at the cat toy bit where you each need to use a monacle + 1 guy to get through the door, i’m not sure if you need the same group for the cats but whoever goes through the door gets a code that you need to get past the cats, i’d assume if you joined a different group you’ll need a leader that got the code. All the parts after that need a group too.

Gonna try to get it within this next couple days while people are going for it. Is the group portion tough to coordinate? Never really grouped with randoms for something like this before.

It requires team coordination? Disgusting.

Not really, it’s mostly timed things, like 4 people need to kill 4 seperate npc’s at the same time give or take 5 seconds, so you just get it low then count down in chat, cat part each person needs to pat a different cat a certain amount of times, buff lasts 15s and refreshes when you pat again so whoever has the higher number starts first, then you’re all on your last pat give a ready then go.

The only kind of difficult bit is the platform maze but if you just set 1 person as the leader, assign each person a number and only pay attention to your role it’s easy.

eg. 1, F, F, L = player 1, forward forward left

Then players give a “done” in chat and leader gives next move

I just saw it in game. Pretty neat. I’ll follow the guide for it one day.

It honestly just blows my mind that these things get solved. How do the people even go about it? Where do you start?

To be honest, I didn’t read up on any of it. I just followed the instructions my guild group gave me lol. We did it all in the same group from the monocle part in Suramar to the end.

Datamining for a lot of it, others it’s just thousands of people all testing theories and checking every area/npc ever.

Sometimes they cross reference between different languages which can narrow things down.

Yes you do. That is the four people you are with when you do the withered you need to stay with for the whole thing. The code you get from the Cat Toy is tied to your group.

In my first group we got to the platforms then someone had to leave. The new person couldn’t see the orb and thus couldn’t reach us. And likewise, when I rejoined a new group we had to redo the withered all over again and get a new code.

So the last sections have to be done in one shot I think with the same group for all of it. Super cool mount though, very spooky! :brain:

Tried to do the halls of origination puzzle like 10 min ago… Gave up after 1 and half hour. Im to much brain dead for that.

There’s an addon for it, but it’s still a pain to do, have to fill out each square manuaully, solve (doesnt fully solve), fill in the new layout, solve, fill in again and solve.

Took me about 1-2 hours still.

However, you don’t need all 4 monacles, you only need 1 person with each colour, so you can literally get 1, find a group then claim that colour.

edit: it’s called Hivemind HoO Puzzle Helper

You can bear it with corgi goggles. Or for a better price, try my all new and improved CorGoblin Goggles!
