Phase 1 Raid Directory

Hidden beneath Kalimdor, the Barrow Deeps is a maximum-level raid for 10 players. The prison once held Illidan Stormrage for 10,000 years, but its dark passages have been opened. Now, players will descend into the fabled prison to learn what became of those left behind—and how the wardens plan to contain the danger below. Entrances connected to Mount Hyjal, Winterspring, and Blackmaw Hold give raiders multiple paths into Barrow Deeps. Inside, 10-player groups will face eight bosses as they explore the prison’s depths.

At the peak of Mount Hyjal near the World Tree Nordrassil, Hyjal Summit features 13 bosses and begins with a battle against an ancient guardian. From there, raid groups can choose from multiple paths across the mountain, exploring ruins above and below ground as they confront the forces threatening Hyjal and open the way to the final encounters.

Deep in Dustwallow Marsh, Onyxia’s Lair is a level 60 raid for 40 players. Onyxia, a dragon of the Black Dragonflight and the younger sister of Nefarian, guards her brood here while working to manipulate Azeroth’s mortal races. Onyxia’s three-phase encounter turns up the heat with powerful fire attacks that can punish an unprepared raid. Players should build their fire resistance before entering, then be ready to reposition and work together as the battle shifts around them. Designed for level 60 players, Onyxia’s Lair requires each member of the raid to carry the Drakefire Amulet to enter.
