Otto - Twelve Days of Mounts: Day Seven

Welcome to day seven of our special Twelve Days of Mounts series, 2023 edition! With the holidays upon us, we are doing a series of highlights on remarkable or easy-to-collect mounts added in Dragonflight. Today's highlight is Otto!

Discovering Otto

Otto is a ground and aquatic mount with a neat easter egg: If you mount Otto while wearing the Aquatic Shades, he will also wear some shades to match you!

Before starting the hunt for Otto, it is highly recommended (but not required if you don't want to do Lunkers) to have the Iskaaran Harpoonfishing gear unlocked, which requires Renown 7 with the Iskaara Tuskarr and Dragon Isles Fishing 25. You can read more about lunkers in our dedicated Fishing Hole guide: Iskaara Tuskarr Fishing Holes in Dragonflight.

• Obtaining the Aquatic Shades

First up, you need to obtain the Aquatic Shades, the toy used to uncover the next part of the secret. The toy is a guaranteed drop from the Immaculate Sac of Swog Treasures, the best bag purchased from The Great Swog by a cave in the southeastern portion of Ohn'ahran Plains.

The Immaculate Sac of Swog Treasures costs 1 Gold Coin of the Isles, which can be (very rarely fished) or exchanged for 5 Silver Coin of the Isles (which are exchanged for 15 Copper Coin of the Isles). To obtain one Gold Coin, you need a total of 75 Copper Coin of the Isles.

All coins can be obtained while fishing in the Dragon Isles or defeating Lunker mobs in fishing holes. Lunker raids are by far the fastest way to obtain coins, so grab your Iskaaran Harpoon and go to town!

Once you have the required coins, simply exchange them and purchase the toy with the Great Swog. The Great Swog cave can be found at 81.9 72.1 in the Ohn'ahran Plains.

• Finding the Empty Fish Barrel

The next step of the puzzle is to obtain the Empty Fish Barrel, which will be used to give Otto some fish! With the Aquatic Shades in hand, head to the Bubble Bath, the Dive Bar off the coast of the Waking Shores, north of the Obsidian Throne. At the bar, find a dancing mat and stand on it - You will start dancing and get the debuff Dance, Dance 'Til You're Dead.

Once the dance debuff expires, you will pass out and wake up by the Hissing Grotto in the Waking Shores (just above the dive bar), next to a barrel. Interact with it to loot the Empty Fish Barrel. The Bubble Bath dive bar cave can be found at 19.6 36.5 in the Waking Shores.

• Fishing for Otto

Now that we have the barrel, it's time to fish. You are able to fill the barrel once you fish the following fish. You need to fish all the required fish in the following order below, and interact with your Empty Fish Barrel once you complete each step:

1. Fish 100 Frigid Floe Fish - A relatively high drop fish that can be fished in the open waters of Iskaara in Azure Span. Using the barrel with 100 Frigid Floe Fish gives you a Half-Filled Fish Barrel.
2. Fish 25 Calamitous Carp - a rare drop fish that can be fished in the lava around the Obsidian Citadel in Waking Shores. As this is considered a rare reagent, Fishing gear with Perception helps speed this up. Using the barrel with 25 Calamitous Carp gives you a Brimming Fish Barrel.
3. Fish 1 Kingfin, the Wise Whiskerfish - a rare drop fish that can be fished in the waters by Alge'thar Academy in Thaldraszus. There is a small dock in the area, which is perfect for fishing. It is currently unconfirmed, but Perception gear might also make this grind a lot faster. Using the barrel with the Whiskerfish gives you an Overflowing Fishing Barrel.

Once you obtain the Overflowing Fishing Barrel, return to the Hissing Grotto in the Waking Shores (the area where you woke up after passing out from dancing at the Dive Bar) and leave the Overflowing Fishing Barrel where you first found it. Once you find it, Otto will show up and give you a quick quest to obtain the mount! The Empty Fish Barrel should be dropped by the Dive Bar in Waking Shores at 20.4 39.7.

And there you have it! By following these steps, you will uncover the secret of Otto and add this unique and playful mount to your collection. Happy fishing!
