Shadowlands Easy Mount Guide: How to get Shimmermist Runner

Since players can't fly yet in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands areas, riding on a shiny unicorn-like mount sounds great, right? Well, you can spruce up your Shadowlands mount collection with this handy guide, where we tell you exactly how you can complete the maze in Ardenweald, defeat Shizgher and obtain the beautiful Shimmermist Runner mount for your stables.

Shadowlands Shimmermist Runner: How to get

The Shadowlands Shimmermist Runner mount is located at Mistveil Tangle, in the middle of the Tirna Scithe region in Ardenweald. Specifically, you will need to complete the maze in order to obtain the Shimmermist Runner mount. 

The maze entrance is located at Oaken Assembly via the coordinates 31.04, 54.51. However, you should just blindly run into the maze until you get to the end, as then the NPC called Shizgher will despawn if you get close without following the correct path.
