Taming the Spirit Wolf: A Dragonflight Guide to Hati

So, you want to tame Hati in Dragonflight? Excellent choice! This spectral wolf is a fantastic companion for Hunters, especially those with a nostalgic soft spot for the Legion expansion. Taming Hati in Dragonflight requires some legwork, a bit of patience, and a solid understanding of the questline. You’ll need to be a Beast Mastery Hunter, have completed the initial Legion Artifact questline for the Titanstrike artifact weapon, and then embark on a specific side quest in Stormheim. More details below!

The Journey to Tame Hati

While the Titanstrike is no longer an active artifact weapon, the echoes of its power remain. This is the key to reuniting with your spectral friend. The process isn’t overly complicated, but it does demand following a specific path. Let’s break it down step-by-step:

Beast Mastery Hunter Requirement: First and foremost, you must be a Beast Mastery Hunter. Hati is a spirit beast and therefore exclusively tameable by this specialization. Attempting to tame Hati in any other spec will be fruitless.
Legion Artifact Questline: The next crucial step is ensuring you’ve completed the introductory questline for the Titanstrike, the Beast Mastery Hunter artifact weapon from the Legion expansion. This questline begins in Dalaran and involves securing the Titanstrike from the Halls of Valor. Even if you no longer use the weapon, the completion of the questline unlocks the necessary dialogue options later.
Return to Stormheim: Once you’ve met the above prerequisites, head to Stormheim in the Broken Isles. Specifically, you need to find Hymdall in Skold-Ashil. He’s located near the docks where you first arrived in Stormheim during the Legion expansion.
The Dialogue: Speak with Hymdall. If you’ve completed the Titanstrike questline, you should see a unique dialogue option referencing Hati’s weakened state and need for your aid. This is where the magic happens!
Accept the Quest: “Return to the Hunter’s Lodge”: Hymdall will offer you a quest. Accept it! It’s a simple quest instructing you to return to the Hunter’s Lodge, located in Highmountain.
Back to Highmountain: Teleport or fly to the Hunter’s Lodge in Highmountain.
Speak to Mimiron: Inside the Hunter’s Lodge, find Mimiron. He is the key to reuniting with Hati.
The Taming Process: Talk to Mimiron, and he will present you with a Stabilized Spark of Life. This item allows you to tame Hati again! You will need to go to Mimirons Workshop in Storm Peaks, Northrend to complete this portion.
Head to Ulduar: To find the Mimirons Workshop, head to Ulduar in the Storm Peaks, Northrend. You do not need to enter the raid itself, the workshop is outside.
Tame Hati: Once at the Mimirons Workshop, you will see a Lightning-Infused Core. This is where you will tame Hati. Use the Stabilized Spark of Life on the Core, which will then allow you to use your Tame Beast ability on Hati.
Enjoy Your Companion!: Congratulations! You have successfully tamed Hati. Hati will now be a permanent member of your stable. You can summon him just like any other pet.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Taming Hati

Here are some common questions about taming Hati, with detailed answers to guide you.

1. What happens if I abandoned the Titanstrike questline in Legion?

If you abandoned the initial Titanstrike questline, you’ll need to pick it up again. Head back to Dalaran (Broken Isles version) and look for the quest giver to restart the questline. Complete the entire questline to unlock the necessary dialogue options with Hymdall.

2. Can I tame multiple versions of Hati?

Unfortunately, no. You can only have one active version of Hati as a pet at a time.

3. Does Hati scale with my current level?

Yes, Hati will scale with your current level, ensuring he remains a viable pet option throughout your adventures in Dragonflight.

4. Can I customize Hati’s appearance after taming him?

No, the appearance of Hati is fixed. He will always retain his spectral wolf form. You cannot change his colors or add armor.

5. I’m a Survival Hunter. Can I still tame Hati?

8. What if I can’t find Hymdall in Skold-Ashil?

Double-check that you are in the correct location in Stormheim. Hymdall is standing near the docks where you first landed when arriving in Stormheim during the Legion expansion. If you still can’t find him, try disabling addons that might interfere with quest markers.

9. I completed the Titanstrike questline, but the dialogue option isn’t appearing with Hymdall. What’s wrong?
