Acquisition Guide

The Hellfire Infernal, also known as the Fiendish Hellfire Core, is a mount that drops at a 100% rate from Gul'dan in The Nighthold on Mythic difficulty only.

1

Enter The Nighthold

Travel to The Nighthold in Suramar and set the difficulty to Mythic before entering.

2

Defeat Gul'dan

Fight through the raid and defeat Gul'dan, the final boss of The Nighthold — the Fiendish Hellfire Core drops at 100% on Mythic difficulty.

3

Note the Drop Mechanic

The mount uses a per-player drop system similar to the Smoldering Ember Wyrm from Nightbane: each player in the raid has approximately a 5% individual chance to receive the mount, meaning a 10-person group has roughly a 50% chance of at least one mount dropping.

Tips

  • Because each player has roughly a 5% chance per kill, running the raid with fewer players increases the average number of kills needed per person — solo attempts give the most consistent per-character weekly attempts.

  • This mount is on a weekly lockout, so each character can only attempt Mythic Gul'dan once per reset; using multiple max-level characters multiplies your weekly attempts.

  • See the video guide for a full walkthrough of the Mythic Gul'dan encounter.
