The Necrotic Wake

Dungeon GuideRetail

Boss abilities and loot tables from Blizzard's own journal, boss by boss.

In an unthinkable act of treachery, forces from Maldraxxus, the realm charged with defending the Shadowlands, have invaded the Temple of Courage. They have pillaged anima and taken slaughtered kyrian to fuel their dark practices. If left unchecked, the necrotic forces of the necropolis Zolramas will pillage Bastion leaving destruction in their wake.

Written notes for this instance are a later milestone. Everything on this page comes from Blizzard's journal data.
