How to Get Sthaarbs' Last Lunch Mount in The War Within Season 3

The Sthaarbs’ Last Lunch mount is a rare ground mount tied to Patch 11.2 and the Phase Diving system in K’aresh. It drops from the rare elite Sthaarbs, who lurks inside the Oasis Eco-Dome. The encounter isn’t mechanically complex, but between the spawn conditions, platform mechanics, and the low drop rate, farming this mount can be frustrating. This guide explains every step, unlocking Phase Diving to handling the fight and maximizing your farming chances.

Unlocking K’aresh and Phase Diving

You can’t even attempt the mount without Phase Diving access. Here’s how to unlock it:

• Start the quest “A Shadowy Invitation.”
  It should pop automatically in Dornogal. If not, speak to Alleria Windrunner in the Foundation Hall.
• Meet Locus-Walker.
  This begins the K’aresh campaign storyline.
• Progress the campaign.
  At the quest “The Tabiqa” you receive the Reshii Wraps cloak, a core item for Phase Diving.
• Complete “A Skip Through the Void.”
  Grants you the actual Phase Dive ability.

If you’ve done this on one character already, alts can skip and unlock Phase Diving immediately.

Sthaarbs’ Spawn and Location

Sthaarbs only appears in the Phase Diving layer of K’aresh. Specifically:

• Zone: Oasis Eco-Dome.
• Spawn point: Floating platforms above the main hub.
• Access: Approach the Phase Warp portal near the Oasis hub during Phase Diving. You’ll gain an Extra Action Button that teleports you to the platforms.

He has an hourly respawn timer, and his presence is marked by a vignette on the world map.

The Fight Against Sthaarbs

Sthaarbs isn’t mechanically overwhelming, but failing mechanics can send you plummeting.

• Lingering Curse: a 15s DoT. Healers and hybrids should pre-plan defensive cooldowns.
• Mindblast Beam: orbs shoot outwards in straight lines. Don’t panic: stay still until the cast finishes, then reposition.
• Repulsive Gaze: the real threat. Targets your platform with a knockback beam. Counter it by stepping into the glowing swirlies at the platform edge to teleport to the next platform.

Solo vs Group

• Geared DPS/healers can solo with careful movement.
• Pet classes (Hunters/Warlocks) struggle, pets despawn because platforms don’t count as terrain. Either dismiss them or join a group.

Best strategy: Use Group Finder to quickly join others farming him.

Loot, Drop Rate, and Farming

• Mount: Rare drop from Sthaarbs’ loot table.
• Drop rate: Low, expect a grind.
• Lockout: Weekly per character. After looting, you must wait until reset.
• Respawn: ~1 hour. Use group sync to jump into active shards where he’s alive.

Defeating Sthaarbs also grants:

• K’aresh Trust renown progress.
• Gold, gear, and resources from loot tables.
• Cosmic lore flavor, adding to the immersion of Patch 11.2.

Final Thought

To recap: unlock Phase Diving – locate Sthaarbs in the Oasis Eco-Dome – fight him on the floating platforms – farm weekly for the mount. The drop is rare, but persistence and alt rotation make the grind manageable.

Farming a low-drop rare can eat up weeks of resets. If you’d rather secure the reward without the grind, there’s a safe alternative:
