Check the achievement for all 22 criteria, including Lost Spirit and Grave credit. When Treasures of the Coiled Isle completes, use the Auriferous Venomfang reward and verify the bright gold serpent in Collections.
Tips
The mount has distinct new venomfang animations rather than simply using an old cloud-serpent animation set.
For phased objects, finish the local Coiled Isle campaign and relog before assuming a coordinate is wrong.
