Comment by Chaoslord5

Had one drop from mobs within the House of the Chosen in Maldraxxus.

Comment by Xardiuss

I dropped one from Theatre of Pain - Sabriel the Bonecleaver

Comment by Vaugn

I can confirm this IS dropping from Maldraxxi Defectors in the Maw, and does not need significant progression in the Kothria or Covenant questlines beyond what can be done this first week of the patch. It took me approximately 40 kills to get it. I was farming with a partner who did not get it at the time, so presumably it's not a party drop.

Comment by DJVladek

I had this item drop from the first mob pack in a Heroic Theater of Pain Dungeon: Unyielding Contender Battlefield Ritualist Raging Bloodhorn (Unyielding Contender, Battlefield Ritualist, Raging Bloodhorn). Not sure which of these it was from, as I auto-looted.

My toon is level 60. However, I have not yet started the Korthia intro questline.

(sorry if this isn't formatted properly. I don't know how to =P)

Used in part of the big puzzle to obtain: Nilganihmaht Control Ring

Nilganihmaht Control Ring is the golden version of the crawling hand mounts. It is a "secret puzzle" mount, and is obtained by aquiring 5 rings: Nilganihmaht's Stone Ring Nilganihmaht's Silver Ring Nilganihmaht's Runed Band Nilganihmaht's Gold Band Nilganihmaht's Signet Ring within the maw and delivering them to Hand of Nilganihmaht at /way 25.5 36.8 in a cave called "Forlorn Respite". Hand of Nilganihmaht will only be in the cave if you are in the rift phase of the maw. I've made a video guide on this for anyone who don't like long textguides
Video Guide: https://youtu.be/hId8terCSYo

The rift phase is a new concept in patch 9.1. It's basicly a spectral realm of the maw as we know it, and all mobs will be replaced with others. To enter the rift phase you have three options.
Option 1: Using Unbalanced Riftstone while on the night fae covenant assault quest A Shady Place - Can't reach Torgllun with this method.
Option 2: Entering a maw rift in korthia with Repaired Riftkey and walking to the maw. Repaired Riftkey is purchaseable at Tier 4 with the new rep in Korthia The Archivists' Codex for 100xCataloged Research Be aware that the portals in Korthia only let you in for 15 minutes at a time, and then you get booted out and have to go back to find another portal. Portal Coords(possible more exist):
/way 61,8, 44,6
/way 43,5, 46,8
/way 53,7, 72,0
/way 56,8, 74,6
/way 59,4, 53,7

Option 3: Find a person with Collapsing Riftstone, and open a portal into the rift. This portal is shareable when in group, so it's a good way to skip farming for tier 4 with the new rep, or waiting until a specific quest is up. Collapsing Riftstone has a low dropchance from rares.

With that out of the way lets get to how to obtain the 5 rings.

Nilganihmaht's Stone Ring is obtained by combining Quartered Ancient Ring Quartered Ancient Ring Quartered Ancient Ring Quartered Ancient Ring. To get the Stone Ring, a Necrolord Assault with the quest Putting A Plan Together has to be active, as you need the Centurion vehicle that becomes available after completing it to access two of the rings (and unlock the other two).

Quartered Ancient Ring is obtained from a Mawsworn chest atop the walls in Perditions
/way 27.7, 61.6
/way 35.0 69.7

Quartered Ancient Ring is obtaining by killing and looting a Maw Mad Construct, this NPC will start spawning after looting atleast one of the other quartered ancient rings, during the Necrolord Assault event in the maw. It spawns in different locations in Perdition's hold and will yell a message in chat:

You cannot have it! It is mine, stay away filthy Maw Walkers!

Quartered Ancient Ring is obtained from completing the quest Clearing the Walls, obtained from the Defense Map. You have to enter the Overcharged Centurion you unlocked by completing Putting a Plan Together, and head to /way 30.3 55.9 where the specific Mawsworn Cache that contains the Defense Map is and you must have access to the Overcharged Centurion to destroy the Pylons for the quest.

Quartered Ancient Ring can be found at several places in Perdition Hold on the floor after looting at least one other Quartered Ring - A nice spot is by the vases just right from facing the rare Shadeweaver Zeris. /way 33.69, 66.24

Now that you've aquired all 4 quartered head to Zovaal's Cauldron at /way 36.0, 41.0 and craft Nilganihmaht's Stone Ring

Nilganihmaht's Runed Band drops from Torglluun at /way 28.7, 25.0 in The Rift phase of the Maw.

Nilganihmaht's Silver Ring is obtained from Domination Sealed Chest at /way 66.0, 57.4 behind the staircase.

To open the chest however you need 4xSeal Breaker Key

These can be obtained in any order you like.

First key is obtained from 5%(ish) dropchance from Maldraxxi Defector found around /way 66.6 52.2. These are elite mobs, but can be soloed with decent gear. I haven't been able to confirm yet, but i believe that you need to finish your campagin up until the point where You've rescued the Primus
, as i farmed out 200 defectors with no drop before doing this campaign quest, and got it on my 4th kill afterwards. But might just be unlucky pls let me know.
Second key is obtained from Feeder's Hand and Key that drops from Ylva at /way 66.8 42.2. This is a rare elite mob and you'll probably have a hard time soloing this.
Third key is from a keyring inside a building. The entrance is next to Deomen the Vortex at /way 66.9 56.2. Head down the stairs and on the far end back wall on the right hangs The Harrower's Key Ring which is the third key.
Fourth key is obtained from a Helgarde Supply Cache at:
/way 67.3, 49.0
/way 65.7, 61.2
/way 67.7, 53.1
/way 68.2, 48.1
/way 63.4, 52.0

Once all four keys are obtained, head to Domination Sealed Chest and recieve Nilganihmaht's Silver Ring.

Nilganihmaht's Gold Band Is found sitting on a spike on some structure, atop a long ground pillar run. It's located at /way 19.15, 32.28.
It's quite the climb, and some parkour will be needed, I suggest you start at /way 18.58, 38.99 and jump out on the foot of the pillar, you'll then have to find the right pathing and follow it all the way to the top.

Nilganihmaht's Signet Ring Drops from Exos, Herald of Domination

For information on how to summon Exos, Herald of Domination see this comment.

You can also just find someone with Domination's Calling an jump into the portal. Also the portal is up for quite some time, so before setting out to acquire a Domination's Calling for yourself, I'd check if the portal is already up.

Once all five rings have been obtained head to Hand of Nilganihmaht in the rift phase of the maw. Placing all 5 rings on the hand will trigger a quest, where Nilganihmaht offers to aid you against Zovaal, however he can only offer part of himself which is of course the hand. The quests rewards you with the mount. Congratulations!

Just got one of these to drop from a Vyraz Bladesworn mob while doing the WQ Planned Demise.

Comment by blackcristal

Drop while doing WQ planned Demise in Maldraxxus

Comment by Mewington

Randomly got one from the necrolord cache in house of the chosen that you channel to

Comment by SiegmundFretzgau

The dropped one seems to drop from any Maldraxxus themed mob, got mine from the Chosen Champions enemies.

Comment by runicpower

got one off sabriel in the ring of pain in maldraxxus or w.e its called :)

Comment by Rungian

A couple of these just dropped while doing the Chosen Champions world quest in Maldraxxus. I and one other person in my party got one off the elite guards there. Not sure if it was a named mob or a generic guard though...

Comment by Sharpbladez

Since I havent seen this mentioned anywhere, the chest is personal progress. So you cannot loot the ring from somebody else opening the chest. Also, if you use a key on 1 of the 4 locks, that 1 lock will remain unlocked until you come back with the other keys (assuming you didnt realize you needed 4 keys at the time like I did lol)

Comment by agentrock

I just had one drop on my lvl 56 hunter. It dropped from a Bladesworn Traitor while fighting Vyraz with Alexandros Mograine.

Comment by Ocyron

Just started focusing on trying to get this mount, and found I already have two keys. I don't remember from which source I obtained them. Any way to check so I know where to focus my efforts?

Comment by oumura

is there any way to know which keys you have collected?

i have not been able to get the keys from the elites or from the chosen area in maldraxxus. and i cant remember if i have found one of the helgard supply chests. ive been farming for hours now and no key and i cant find the helgard supply chests. i am one key short.

Comment by Haylash

Im at 250 kills and stil didn't drop.
Something must be bugged just for me.

Comment by CommanderLex

Is there a command line to check which keys you are still missing? I have 3 currently and I'm not sure if the one I'm missing drops from the Defectors or the Caches.

Comment by Dahrla

Hope this is helpful - the thing that drops from the rare is a container in your bags - you have to click it to open it and get the key out. I was "missing" a key though I thought I had them all - spent forever farming Defectors because I thought that was the one I was missing. Took a look in my bags for something else, realized the "Feeder's Key" was actually still in there and clickable, and there was my "missing" key.

Comment by Oceandust

This took me about 20 kills to get the Key on the Elite Maldraxxi Defectors in Desmotaeron.

Edit: Added coords - around /way 63, 53.

Comment by Leyna93

Farmed Maldraxxi Defectors for over an hour, no drops. Went to the House of the Chosen in Maldraxxus and within 5 minutes it dropped off one of the normal mobs right in the front.

Comment by XvHodzvX

i had trouble with the keys part getting my 4th key, i had looted one from the wall, and then i looted one from Ylva, then i looted one from an Helgarde Supply Cache, so i had 3/4, and guide says to farm the Defectors, in the maw for 4th one, i farmed for 5 hours and did not drop, waited till next day thinking reset would fix it, farmed for 3 hours, no drop, so i was frustrated, and tried looting ANOTHER Helgarde Supply Cache and got my 4th, so i got 2 from the Helgarde Supply Cache, GL if your having bad luck with 4th key like i did.

Comment by Mahmoudh10

Just had this item drop for me from a Ossein Strongarm in Maldraxxus while doing my covenant campaign.

Comment by kryptic225

I have killed well over 400 mobs and been farming for 5+ hours and i cannot get the key to drop. I am caught up in the campaign up to primus so i know it's not that. this drop chance is insane does anyone else have problems like this? i've been at this for so long now

Comment by mncristy

YOU NEED YOUR OWN SET OF FOUR KEYS I repeat. YOU NEED YOUR OWN SET OF FOUR KEYS for Nilganihmaht's Silver Ring

Comment by inz0mn1ak

I wasted the first two keys I had because I had no idea you needed 4 keys. Now I can't get one to drop for the life of me. These keys shouldn't have such a low drop percentage, this is super frustrating.

Comment by Tekk

Confirmed drop from Veteran Boneshield in Maldraxxus, House of the Chosen. I was level 59 and got it on one of the first mobs I killed.

Comment by Comocosono

It currently has a chance to drop from any mob tied to the traitorous Maldraxus factions. Had one drop on my lock from non elites during the assault on the House of Flesh Scenario. So it might be worth it to join a 4x4 group there or the House of the Chosen to get any you don't have quickly.

Comment by s3s3

Got one drop for me in ToP normal 1st boss or 1st pack of elites, I can't know which cause we just pulled and killed all at once.

Comment by PeteM177

So after farming the elites for about an hour or so, and reading posts while waiting for cds to come back up, I read something about how people said you can actually get the 4th key to drop from Maldraxxus mobs. I thought I could use a break from the maw, so I ported over to Oribos. By the way, I checked my mail box and...guess what I found? My 4th key! My bags were not full, nor had they been during the time that I was farming so I don't know what would cause this. Moral of the story... check your mail once in a while during farming sessions. Good luck to you all.

Comment by neilneil123

Is there anyway to know what keys you have previously obtained and from where? So to illuminate searching for the ones I have previously used. Because the very first one I used, when was doing the covenant quest in the Desmotaeron area with Thrall and others and I'm not sure if I used one from a Helgarde Supply Cache or a drop from a Maldraxxi Defector!

Comment by Eliteranger

i got one from elite mobs at chosen area i say maybe help players :D

Comment by Faede

Just looted one off an elite in Maldraxxus. Maldraxxus assault happening in Maw(don't know if that matters)

Comment by Draemon

Dropped from Ossein Strongarm in Maldraxxus while doing Covenant campaign quests while trying to loot another key.

Comment by Slacker

Dropped for me today from Sabriel the Bonecleaver on one of my Necrolords

Comment by Shanho

Dropped today from random mob in House of Chosen in Maldraxxus while leveling (at lvl57).

Comment by shatterform

Had one drop today during the Better Off Dead world quest from a Vyraz Bladesworn.

Comment by irdamajere

Since people have named about a hundred different places one of the keys can drop, I'm going to give another helpful tip: If you're squishy and/or don't have great gear (like me), I recommend doing the parts in Desmotaeron while you have Thrall and Draka with you, doing those campaign quests. :) They make excellent tanks!

Comment by Siknevl

I just had one drop off the last mob in a world quest to protect Specialist Entra. The quest is located in a cave at 44.65 at a place called The Forgotten Forge.

Comment by markmcdermid

If you are at your wit's end and think this is bugged when you have 4/4 - make sure you check your mailbox for anything from the Postmaster!

I created this code block to check if I had looted the keys (1-4)

Comment by Athariel

Before you start panicking like i did, and instead of hours of farming of the 4th key, make sure that you havent looted the key in the past and actually used it onto the cage afterwards. You only get enough keys to open the cage.

Comment by Darkstar92

Posting this in case someone out there was stuck like me.

I had deleted the first key I received thinking it wasn't important. After finding out what it was used for, I spent hours farming chests and mobs for a key to drop.

Eventually I went over to the cage and used the 3 keys I had, and decided to go back to farming chests in the area. The very first chest I opened dropped the 4th key for me. Not sure if this has anything to do with the key dropping a 2nd time from the chests or not, or if it just took me +20 chests until the 2nd one dropped for me.

Comment by FelrynBtw

Very odd occurrence, but I obtained a key from a Vyraz Bladesworn in Maldraxxus during the "Planned Demise" world quest. I assume it qualifies as the key obtained from killing traitors within the maw.

Comment by Astrophile

I have accidentally thrown away the Seal Breaker Keys. I wasn't able to restore them on the Item Restoration Page, and can't seem to loot them again from Ylva, chests, or the Maldraxxi Elite. U know if there's a way to get them back/loot them again?

Comment by sharbani

Not a single command but u can paste it in addon:

/run print("Yiva Key: ",C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(62683))
/run print("The Harrower's Key Ring Key: ",C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(62680))
/run print("Helgarde Supply Cache Key: ",C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(62682))
/run print("Maldraxxi Defector Key: ",C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(62679))

Comment by Makarakarn

I had one drop for me today in Maldraxxus . The Ossein Strongarm I killed was in the southernmost building in the House of Constructs. I was just looking for runes to open the runebound chest and had to kill a few that were standing on one. Not sure what the drop rate is, but there's at least a non-elite option for classes that have trouble soloing the elites in Desmotaeron

Comment by Telkari

If anyone randomly comes across these keys, and like me are wondering what the hell these are for and all the spam of where poeple found them doesn't help you figure out the *why* these are important....it is a part of a very long string for a mount. Here is someone else's post to help save you some time hunting around. :)

I too was not getting the last key to drop from mobs in the maw nor from any more caches I managed to find and open so I decided to see what I could do in Maldraxxus. I went to the entrance of House of The Chosen (specifically 42,60) and saw a mob riding a Taurus with a gold star named Secutor Ancrest. Killed it and was stunned to see the last key pop up in my bags. So I highly recomend checking out this area if you haven't had any luck with the mobs in the maw, and if that elite is up go fo it first hopefully it works for more than just me.

I used the 3 keys I had on the chest and when I finally found the 4th, I went back and was able to open the chest. So, if you don't want to carry around the keys you can open the chest gradually and you won't lose your place.

I got my 4th key from a chest. I used the coords in the wowhead comments and ran a circuit with my gromit, killing Defectors along my route. I did this for 3 days, 1-2 hours a day. There was one chest I kept skipping because it was on the pier behind Mor'geth. Finally, I used camo/invis to get past the WB on onto the walkway. There are 3 pats on the pier itself and then 3 more guarding the chest. One of the mobs in each pack are the casters with the green tornadoes.

I something did which might save people some time on this and other achievements. During the Venthyr assault, there is a chance for Fangcrack's Fan Club to be up. Fangcrack reaches into a portal and throws out mobs. One of the mobs is an Oribos Broker and he lands on the left of the platform by one of the cages. The Broker sells the rift keys that allow you to be ANYWHERE in The Maw and create a rift portal. The Broker is only up for about 10-15 seconds. I got 10 rift keys and I used one inside the cave where you have to place the rings onto the hand to get the mount.

If you haven't looted yet and are missing the last key and it just refuses to drop. You can get one easy one in the cave on the wall /way 66.91 56.20 4 cave entrance The Harrower's Key Ring

Wish I had know about it sooner and thus not spend two weeks running around with the gromit hoping it would drop from the chests.

Comment by Opalskye

Just adding a note to the pile of comments - I got one from a Vyraz Bladesworn, at Bleak Redoubt (outside Seat of the Primus) while levelling - so you don't need to be 60 to start the farm for this - I know it's a bit by the by, given I'm posting during the dying weeks of 9.1.5 but for anybody late to the content/SL, idk, thought it was interesting that they can drop before you're max level ^^

Comment by Shrimmp

Don't forget to check your bank bags if keys aren't dropping. Sounds like common sense, but if you have a habit of looting things, stashing them away because you don't know what they are, and you forget to "look it up later," you may find yourself running around the Maw for a very long time, wondering why RNG hates you so much. I mean, I'm guessing that's what would happen...

Comment by Gellfling

I had this drop from a Vyraz Bladesworn in Bleak Redoubt (Maldraxxus)

Comment by mmota

Has anyone been able to loot any of the keys after deleting it the first time? I've been killing mobs and opening chests for hours and I can't get a single key, the script says I already looted once. I sent a ticket but the answer was "it's a secret, we can't tell you that". This is the last ring I need and I don't want to farm everything again in another toon :(

Comment by Selendees

Solution to all: I had all the problems people had above. Looted and destroyed the item. Got one and don't know which. Used one and don't know which. Made a ticket to unflag me from getting the item(just got copy paste response).

I just discovered that it doesn't matter which key you looted from where. These are options to acquire them and the best option to get the key it so farm halgarde supply chest which has almost 50% of dropping one. Weather you need to use it before looting another chest to drop it I don't know. But I just got two from back to back and managed to used both from the chest.

Get gromit from korthia and get the ring gg.

1st) Drop for me and all my alts while doing world quest Chosen Champions in Maldraxx.
2nd drop from the world quest in the arena (Amateur night?).
3rd the world quest in the Maw near the world boss Mor'gret.
Apparently, you have a great chance to get from Elites World quests in these 3 areas for sure.

Comment by Panoplia

In case anyone has similar problems, I'm recording my problems and the end (happy) result...

TL;DR: Try using any Seal Breaker Keys your alts have, and then go back to farming for keys on your main (at that point using a Swagsnout Gromit and finding Helgarde Supply Caches may be the best bet).

I looted two of these keys in Desmotaeron about a week ago on my main while going after the Nilganihmaht Rings with my partner. IIRC I got the Harrower's Key and a key from a Helgarde Supply Cache. So far so good, just needed to get two more - one from Ylva and one from the Mawsworn Defectors, I thought. Although I had a nagging feeling I'd had more Seal Breaker Keys on this character and had deleted them because I hadn't known what they were for at the time.

We farmed Ylva and the Defectors for a few hours. The keys dropped quickly for my partner but they didn't drop for me. I used the script in another comment here to check if I'd had keys drop from Harrower, Defectors, Ylva and Helgarde Supply Cache: it showed 'true' for all 4 keys, i.e. I'd had 4 keys drop from all 4 sources.

I tried using the two keys I did have on the Domination Sealed Chest cage (i.e. the one with 3 locks on it) to see if that changed anything about drop rates. I kept farming: no drops. I put in a support ticket explaining the situation - that I'd been farming, got and used two keys, the others weren't dropping, and that I thought I might've deleted two keys previously. The ticket got a copy/paste response a few days later that wasn't a great deal of help.

I returned to Desmotaeron last night and this morning to farm Defectors and Ylva. No keys dropped from them, and I didn't see any Helgarde Supply Caches while I was doing this. I started to use a Swagsnout Gromit, but he didn't find any caches either (he only thing he seemed able to find at that point was the cage with 3 locks/chest inside it). I came back to WoWHead and saw a comment on the Helgarde Supply Cache that gave me an idea.

I logged through my alts and found an alt that had a Seal Breaker Key. I couldn't send it to my main since the keys are BoP, so I took the alt to the 3-lock-cage in Desmotaeron and used his key, deleting 1 of the 3 outer locks for him. I logged back to my main.

I ran around Desmotaeron on my main and now there were Helgarde Supply Caches visible (the gromit found them too). Surpising given I'd barely seen any of these caches before during several different farming trips there. I got two keys immediately from the caches. Job done - I could open the cage and the chest, and looted Nilganihmaht's Silver Ring.

My best guess is that the keys were somehow bugged for me in a way that got cleared when my alt used the Seal Breaker Key he had, and that somehow allowed Helgarde Supply Caches to start appearing again for my main. Maybe it would also have meant I'd have looted keys from Defectors if I'd killed any after using the key on my alt, but don't know.

Always check your bank before farming for rare/unique items! They won't drop again if you still have one in storage.
