Hand of Nilganihmaht, secret puzzle mount of 9.1 has been found - Guide included!


Hey Redditbois, so i've spent a shitton of time on trying to figure out how to obtain this puzzle mount, and with a lot of help from the secret finder discord community, it has now been figured out exactly how to get it. So I've made both a written and a video guide on how to obtain this badboy for anyone interested!Video guide: https://youtu.be/hId8terCSYoWritten guide:πŸ“· 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: πŸ“· Nilganihmaht's Stone Ring πŸ“· Nilganihmaht's Silver Ring πŸ“· Nilganihmaht's Runed Band πŸ“· Nilganihmaht's Gold Band πŸ“· 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.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 πŸ“· Unbalanced Riftstone while on the night fae covenant assault quest πŸ“· A Shady PlaceOption 2: Entering a maw rift in korthia with πŸ“· Repaired Riftkey and walking to the maw. πŸ“· Repaired Riftkey is purchaseable at Tier 4 with the new rep in Korthia The Archivists' Codex for 100xπŸ“· Cataloged 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, whereas while you're on the assault quest you can pop in and out infinitely.Option 3: Find a person with πŸ“· 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. πŸ“· Collapsing Riftstone has a low dropchance from rares.With that out of the way lets get to how to obtain the 5 rings.πŸ“· Nilganihmaht's Stone Ring is obtained by combining πŸ“· Quartered Ancient Ring πŸ“· Quartered Ancient Ring πŸ“· Quartered Ancient Ring πŸ“· 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).πŸ“· Quartered Ancient Ring is obtained from a Mawsworn chest atop the walls in Perditions Hold at /way 35.0 69.7πŸ“· 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!πŸ“· Quartered Ancient Ring is obtained from completing the quest πŸ“· Clearing the Walls, obtained from the πŸ“· 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.πŸ“· 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, 66.24Now that you've aquired all 4 quartered head to Zovaal's Cauldron at /way 36.0, 41.0 and craft πŸ“· Nilganihmaht's Stone RingπŸ“· Nilganihmaht's Runed Band drops from Torglluun at /way 28.7, 25.0 in The Rift phase of the Maw.πŸ“· 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 4xπŸ“· Seal Breaker KeyThese 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 whereSpoiler: Reveal Spoiler, 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 πŸ“· Feeder's Hand and Key that drops from Ylva at /way 66.8 42.2.

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.πŸ“· Nilganihmaht's Signet Ring Drops from Exos, Herald of DominationTo summon Exos, Herald of Domination you need combinate 3 items to create πŸ“· Domination's Calling.I got all items on my first try.Dominion Etching: Pain drop from Talaporas, Herald of Pain.Dominion Etching: Loss drop from Apholeias, Herald of Loss.Dominion Etching: Grief drop from Ekphoras, Herald of Grief.With 3 other players, stand on the corners of the platform and cast πŸ“· Convocation of Pain to summon these rares./way 28,9, 11,6 Talaporas, Herald of Pain/way 19,4, 41,4 Apholeias, Herald of Loss/way 42,1, 21,2 Ekphoras, Herald of GriefExos, Herald of Domination is located on Altar of Domination (upper level) - The Maw.To enter on Altar of Domination you need open a Gate in Perdition Hold.To open the Gate you need the achievement πŸ“· Prepare for Trouble!

Also the portal is up for quite some time, so before setting out to acquire a πŸ“· 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!
