Question 1

How to get Armored Skyscreamer mount?

Accepted Answer

The Reins of the Armored Skyscreamer is the reward for completing the meta-achievement Glory of the Thundering Raider. This requires you to complete 23 specific challenges in the Throne of Thunder raid, ranging from performing special tasks during boss fights (like "Soft Hands" on Ji-Kun) to defeating bosses on Heroic difficulty.

Question 2

Is Glory of the Thundering Raider soloable?

Accepted Answer

No. Glory of the Thundering Raider cannot be done solo — it is a Mists of Pandaria raid achievement that requires multiple players due to mechanics like One-Up (Horridon) and Soft Hands (Ji-Kun), so a coordinated raid group is mandatory.

Question 3

Which achievements are needed for Armored Skyscreamer?

Accepted Answer

You need to complete achievements such as Lightning Overload, Cretaceous Collector, Cage Match, One-Up, Head Case, Soft Hands, You Said Crossing the Streams Was Bad, Ritualist Who?, and several Heroic boss kills. Missing even one prevents you from getting the mount.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Reins of the Armored Skyscreamer summons a flying mount. It uses the skeletal pterodactyl model often seen in Zandalari zones and works in any zone where flying is permitted.
