Ruins of Lordaeron

Bosses in encounter order (7)

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

• Witherfang patrols the whole first hallway — watch for her nameplate while clearing so you don't chain-pull the undead packs.
• Undead throughout drop Bloodied Insignia (Alliance quest) and Intact Limbs (Light's Justice quest item).
• Both summon encounters (The Abandoned's statue, Viktor's fireplace) — top up before triggering; there is no breather between waves.

Boss tactics

1. 

   Witherfang

   Patrols the first long hallway after the entrance — her route is long, so watch her position before pulling; she always brings a few spider adds and her attacks apply a poison debuff. Tank and spank.

   • Witherbite BracersWrist · Leather · item level 20
   • Segmented Spider LegTwo-hand · Staff · item level 20
2. 

   The Baron

   At the bend at the end of the first hallway. A heavy AoE cleave — ranged and healers stay far; he knockbacks the tank and switches targets if pushed too far, so tank him with your back to a wall. His head starts the Unending Torment quest chain.

   • Abomination BonesChest · Mail · item level 20
   • Leftover Abomination SkinChest · Cloth · item level 20
3. 

   The Abandoned

   A summon encounter: approach the statue in the south-western corner to trigger it — clear three waves before the boss. Frost Armor slows melee attackers; kick or stun Drain Life; Frost Nova roots the whole party, so save your mobility.

   • Rotmender's LeggingsLegs · Cloth · item level 22
   • Scepter of the AbandonedMain hand · Mace · item level 22
4. 

   Viktor the Vile

   Summoned by interacting with the fireplace: hold several rapidly spawning waves before the boss appears. The tank needs solid AoE threat, and the healer's mana management wins this fight.

   • Vileblood ScimitarOne-hand · Sword · item level 22
   • Bloodied ChestwrapsChest · Leather · item level 22
   • VilewalkersFeet · Mail · item level 22
5. 

   Bjork

   In the south-western part of the dungeon. A tank-and-spank with high single-target damage and the occasional tank knockback — keep players clear of the tank's back.

   • Bonerust LeggingsLegs · Mail · item level 21
   • Tuskwrap BeltWaist · Cloth · item level 21
   • Corpse ChopperTwo-hand · Axe · item level 21
6. 

   Rath'mael

   A mage you spot early on but reach only after clearing around him. He chains Flamestrike casts — interrupt or stun them; a pulsating AoE surrounds him all fight, so melee trade damage for uptime.

   • Mirror of Rath'maelOff hand · Shield · item level 24
   • Rotmender's TreadsFeet · Cloth · item level 24
   • Coldspire StaffTwo-hand · Staff · item level 24

7. Lordaeron Captain

   Rare spawn — tactics pending in-game verification.

   • Phantom ArmorChest · Mail · item level 27
