The Frightened Kodo is a mount that drops from the Frightened Kodo rare spawn in Darkshore, and is obtained by being the first player to click on the NPC when it appears.

1

Create Alliance Class Trial

Create an Alliance class trial character on a low-population server, then use the Stormwind Hearthstone to travel to Stormwind City. From there, head to the Stormwind Docks and take the portal to Darkshore at the farthest left dock.

2

Enable War Mode

Set your class trial character to War Mode before heading to Darkshore. The Frightened Kodo can spawn regardless of Warfront status and regardless of your faction.

3

Watch for Slow Loading

When clicking the portal to Darkshore, if the zone loads slowly, this means a new world instance has been generated for you, which guarantees a Frightened Kodo is running around in the zone.

4

Search All Spawn Locations

Fly around Darkshore checking these known spawn points: at 41.31, 65.48 — at 44.04, 67.56 — at 41.27, 54.01 — at 38, 66 — at 39.2, 56.5 — at 44, 65 — at 38.5, 33 — at 45, 51.3 — at 41, 65. Use a target macro with /tar Fright while flying between locations to detect the NPC quickly.

5

Click the Kodo First

The Frightened Kodo is a clickable NPC that runs very fast with a friendly green nameplate. The first player to channel-click it receives the mount directly into their inventory, after which the NPC instantly disappears. The mount has a 100% drop chance on click.

6

Relog If Kodo Is Absent

If the Frightened Kodo is not found at any spawn point, relog to generate a fresh instance of Darkshore. Most players find the Kodo within 3 to 4 relogs, with the full process taking under 30 minutes.

Tips

  • The Frightened Kodo has a 100% chance to spawn after a hard or soft server restart, so newly restarted or freshly instanced servers are ideal.

  • Class trial characters are eligible to loot the Frightened Kodo mount.

  • The Frightened Kodo is the same Kodo seen running away in the Terror of Darkshore cinematic.
