Boss lists are compiled from Warcraft Wiki's beta coverage (community-reported); sources for tactics, trash and loot are noted in the sections below — accuracy over volume.

Trash & routing

  • The entrance hall mixes Enraged Apparitions with Tormented Souls — pull two to four at a time and focus the Apparitions first.
  • Mid-dungeon Dark Iron Looters and Bloodhound Runts sit in clusters — keep pulls small.
  • Clear the Dark Iron Summoners and Bloodhound Runts in Magmatus's room before pulling the boss.
  • Stone constructs and Stone Golems block the final approach — take them wave by wave.

Boss tactics

  1. Faldrim Anvilmar in-game screenshot

    Faldrim Anvilmar

    Patrols the centre of the room surrounded by Enraged Apparitions and Tormented Souls. Interrupt Mind Blast when you can; Anvilmar's Curse slows the current target's attack speed. Tank it where it stands — the easiest fight in the dungeon.

    • Aetherwisp BracersWrist · Cloth · item level 18
    • Spiritwraith DrapeBack · Cloth
  2. Magmatus in-game screenshot

    Magmatus

    Sits at the back of the room with a Dark Iron Summoner nearby. Periodic fire AoE hits the whole party — tank it away from the group; Combust puts a damage-over-time effect on a random player, so healers watch for it. Clear the trailing adds before burning the boss.

    • Fang of MagmatusMain hand · Dagger
  3. Plunder in-game screenshot

    Plunder

    A large golem patrolling the central hallway near the end. Its AoE knockback flings nearby players — pick a pull spot away from other packs; it also charges a random party member and briefly stuns them. Healer keeps the tank up while DPS burn it down.

  4. Durgen Dirgehammer in-game screenshot

    Durgen Dirgehammer

    The final boss, flanked by two level-14 Stone Golems. He stacks a bleed on his current target — keep the tank topped; anyone nearby eats an AoE fear, so non-tanks stay out. Kill the golems first (they buff him), then switch to the boss.
