Guide: The Hivemind Mount Walkthrough for Multiboxers
This is a pretty popular request because this mount is essentially the Multiboxing mount. So I went ahead and redid the entire thing! There is a lot of issues I run into actually doing it which I hope helps you in the process. (Example the vendor fish for the red monocles are invisible, how to fix that.) Or (On the Yellow monocle, you didn't input the correct information into the addon, how to fix that without starting over).
Part 1: Intro and Red Monocle
Part 2: Green Monocle
Part 3: Yellow Monocle (special note, my wife makes fun of me a lot during this process, ignore that :)
Part 4: Blue Monocle
Part 5: Suramar Beams and Lost Cat Toy (Skip Information included)
Part 6: Jumping Puzzle
Part 7: Arcane Lava and Finish!

And secret pro tip, you don’t need any of that for subsequent teams you can start in front/inside the room to get your new team locked in by dmg

I’ll be adding the info in the next section of videos. You can unlock the door and then that 5th character that ran through can drop group. Invite 4 other characters and the click on the lost cat toy allowing you to complete on that new group without having to have done any of the monocles. This works well for additional teams you want to add.
I chalk up this mechanic as the same as unlocking a skip in raids to the last boss.

Ill have to see it in action to understand. i thought the monocles were required for the entire thing. Will be awesome to not have to do +everything many times for all my teams!

just please don’t sell the shortcut, only use it on your own teams or for other boxers that demonstrate they got the mount once already
i would hate for the shortcut to get nerfed if overused ^

Good Stuff! I have done the hive mind quest 3 times no short cuts for 3 separate teams. Wish I knew about this shortcut :-(. This motivates me to make a 4th hive mind team! hope this method doesn't get "adjusted" before then. Thanks guys!

Ok..so i got it done on my paly team. You can do this anytime after you have one team that has done it. In this case my druid team had done the quest. 4 druids havedifferent color monocle. The 5th druid had nothing but you need a full group for the entire last phases. So i logged in the 4 druids that had the monocles and placed them at the mobs they have to fight to open the door ( remove the 4 colored barrier so that 5th toon can run in the room ) I had one of my paladins, in the same slot as the 5th druid who had no monocle, and had him stand at the door. Once he was in I dropped group and logged on the other paladins from my team, grouped up and clicked the pet toy and started the quest from the "pet the kittens" on.
I forgot how much of a pain the puzzles were, but once i figured it out again ( thx to video guides ) It was not bad.. and it will be easy with the next teams! Thanks for the tip!

I've added parts 5/6/7 to show the fully completed pieces and as Lyonheart mentioned I show in the video how to do the skip on part 5. Hope this helps everyone!

Thanks Ellay! For the petting.. you can use IWT to pet them.. that way the NPC cant get in the way. you got lucky on your code..low numbers.. i had 88826 so i targetted the cats on 1>2>3 and IWT twice.. once i got that 2nd petting bar moving I switched to 5 and had him quickly target his cat and start petting since he needed 6..when i got to 6 pettings on the 1st three i switched to 4 and had him target and iwt with his cat for the last two pettings ( all others are still IWTing the whole time.) Does that make since? it made it super easy!
