The Giganto Manis is one of the major mount rewards tied to Midnight Delves Season 1. Unlike a simple vendor mount or a one-step achievement reward, this one is locked behind a large meta-achievement that touches several different layers of Delve content at once. To get it, you need to complete exploration objectives, storyline rotation progress, companion progression through curios, hidden chest hunting, and finally the seasonal nemesis encounter. That makes this mount less of a short grind and more of a full Delves completion project.
What makes the Giganto Manis especially notable is that it rewards broad mastery of the system rather than a single lucky drop or one isolated challenge. You are not farming one boss until RNG cooperates. Instead, you are gradually clearing the entire Season 1 Delve framework step by step. If your goal is to obtain the mount efficiently, the most important thing is understanding which objectives can be done on low difficulty, which ones require high tiers, and how to avoid wasting time by repeating the wrong Delves or the wrong storyline variants.
The Giganto Manis is rewarded for completing the meta-achievement Glory of the Midnight Delver. This is a large Season 1 Delves achievement that combines four major parts into one long progression path.
The required achievements are:
Taken together, these achievements cover nearly every major Delve activity type in Midnight Season 1. You need to rotate through all story variants, collect every rank 4 curio for Valeera, loot all hidden sturdy chests across the active Delves, and defeat the season’s nemesis boss, Nullaeus. Because the mount depends on all four, the best strategy is not to tunnel on just one requirement. Instead, you should structure your grind so that multiple achievements progress at the same time whenever possible.
To complete Delve Loremaster: Midnight, you need to clear every Midnight Delve across all of its story variants. At the moment, each Delve has 3 different storylines, and those storylines rotate over time. This means you cannot finish the achievement by running each Delve only once. You need to revisit each one until all three of its story setups have been completed.
The most important efficiency tip here is simple: if your only goal is Loremaster progress, run the Delves on the lowest available tier. The achievement does not care about difficulty. Since only the active storyline matters, using the easiest tier saves time and lets you cycle through the required variants much faster.
It is also strongly recommended to install HandyNotes: Midnight. This addon helps track Delve locations, points of interest, and useful progression information. For Loremaster specifically, it is valuable because it makes it much easier to keep track of which Delves you have already completed and which story variant is currently active.

To complete Curio Fanatic: Midnight, you need to obtain every curio available for Valeera Sanguinar at rank 4. This is an important distinction. It is not enough to just unlock every curio once. The achievement requires the highest tracked version of each curio in the current system.
Valeera can equip one Combat Curio and one Utility Curio. Curios drop from Delve content, and each one has four power levels. To upgrade a curio, you need to loot a higher-rank version of that same curio. In practical terms, that means low-tier Delves are fine for Loremaster, but they are not ideal if your focus is Curio Fanatic. If you want rank 4 curios, you should prioritize higher-tier Delves because the probability of getting better versions increases with higher tiers.
All Combat Curios:
All Utility Curios:
Because this achievement is rank-based, it is one of the biggest time sinks in the whole Giganto Manis route. You can clear Loremaster quickly on low tiers, but Curio Fanatic rewards patience and repeated higher-tier farming. If you want to optimize the full mount route, it is usually best to finish the easy storyline and chest achievements first, then focus your time on efficient high-tier curio farming sessions afterward.
To complete Midnight: Leave No Treasure Unfound, you need to find and open all hidden Sturdy Chests across the Midnight Delves. This achievement is much more route-sensitive than it first appears, because some coordinates behave differently depending on whether you are still standing in a small entry chamber or already inside the main Delve area.
A very important note: if a Delve begins with a small entrance section and then opens into a much larger play space, use the coordinates only once you are inside the main open area. Otherwise, the numbers may be offset and can look wrong even though the guide itself is correct.
Another useful detail is that all doors open when the Delve is completed, so you can collect the chests after finishing the Delve regardless of which story variant was active. This makes the treasure achievement much more efficient, because you do not need to tie every chest run to a specific combat path or stop mid-run to search every corner while enemies are still alive.

To complete My Shady Nemesis, you need to defeat Nullaeus in his lair before the season ends. If your goal is specifically the Giganto Manis and nothing else, the most efficient route is to do the fight at Tier 8, because that is enough for the meta-achievement path. However, many players also consider pushing Tier 11 because that solo challenge is tied to the extra achievement Let Me Solo Him: Nullaeus, which rewards an additional mount, the Arcanovoid Construct.
You cannot access the relevant Nemesis difficulties immediately. First, you must unlock them:
Nullaeus is the Season 1 Delves Nemesis boss. He is not part of regular open-world content or a standard dungeon. Instead, he is fought inside a dedicated Delve called Torment's Rise in Voidstorm. This location functions as his personal arena, and once you have unlocked the proper difficulty, you can challenge him there directly.
If you are traveling there manually, use:
/way #2405 61.2 71.2 Torment's Rise
Torment's Rise map view
Torment's Rise entrance
At the start of Midnight Season 1, you can pick up a short introductory questline from Valeera Sanguinar at the Delver's Headquarters. This chain is available to level 90 characters and introduces the Delves Nemesis system.
This questline is not required to unlock Torment's Rise or fight Nullaeus. You can access the encounter through normal Delves progression. Even so, completing the chain is strongly recommended because it gives context for the fight and rewards the Dominating Victory toy.
The questline consists of:
You can find all the information you need to defeat Nullaeus in our guide:
Nullaeus ChallengeSince Giganto Manis is tied to a large meta-achievement rather than one isolated task, the main way to save time is to combine progress wherever possible. If you treat each sub-achievement as a completely separate project, the grind feels much longer than it really is. But if you plan your runs around active storylines, chest routes, and high-tier curio farming at the same time, the entire route becomes much more efficient.
If your goal is only the mount, the cleanest order is usually this: finish Delve Loremaster: Midnight on easy tiers, collect all sturdy chests for Midnight: Leave No Treasure Unfound during those same runs whenever possible, then dedicate your later sessions to Curio Fanatic: Midnight and the Nullaeus requirement. That order reduces wasted overlap and keeps the longest grind sections for last, when the easier achievements are already out of the way.
Since Giganto Manis is tied to broad Delves Season 1 progression rather than a single short farm, the most useful addons are the ones that help with navigation, storyline tracking, chest routing, and overall Delve planning. For this mount, addons are not just a comfort tool - they can noticeably reduce the time spent checking entrances, rotating between Delves, and hunting down missed treasures.
For this mount specifically, HandyNotes: Midnight and TomTom are the two most important addons. HandyNotes: Midnight helps you understand the broader Delves environment - including hidden points of interest and progression-related map data - while TomTom makes the exact route execution much easier once you start following chest coordinates and moving between entrances.
If your focus is specifically Delves comfort rather than general UI cleanup, then DelverView is also worth adding to the setup. It is not a replacement for HandyNotes, but it complements it well by making Delve navigation and world-map readability much cleaner during the full Giganto Manis achievement route.
