Entrance

Dire Maul is the ruined city of Eldre'Thalas in central Feralas. Horde groups fly to Camp Mojache next to the ruins; Alliance groups start from Feathermoon Stronghold. The West wing (Capital Gardens) opens off the central courtyard; the Crescent Key from Pusillin in the East wing opens its inner doors.

Overview

The Capital Gardens are the most magical corner of Dire Maul. The Shen’dralar, Highborne survivors of Eldre’Thalas, have kept themselves alive for millennia by draining the demon Immol’thar, held in place by five glowing pylons. Prince Tortheldrin rules what remains of their court.

Groups come here for the library more than for the bosses: the Shen’dralar lorekeepers turn class books and librams into head and leg enchantments, which makes this wing worth repeating even after the gear is collected.

Based on Classic Era; details may differ in WoW Forever and will be checked after launch.

  1. 1

    Tendris Warpwood

    Ancient treant guarding the Conservatory, the first big pull of the wing. Entangle roots players and Trample hits everyone in melee — keep the group spread and burn him with ranged.

    Notable loot
    • Warpwood Binding
  2. 2

    Illyanna Ravenoak

    Highborne huntress with her bear Ferra. Volley, Immolation Trap and Concussive Shot; tank the bear away and kill Illyanna first.

  3. 3

    Magister Kalendris

    Shadow priest of the Highborne. Mind Blast, Shadow Word: Pain and Dominate Mind — be ready to crowd-control a mind-controlled player.

  4. 4

    Immol'thar

    Demon imprisoned by five pylons, each guarded by arcane abominations and mana remnants. Destroy all five to drop the shield, then fight him: Eye of Immol'thar adds, Trample, and Infected Bite on the tank.

    Notable loot
    • Blood of Immol'thar
  5. 5

    Prince Tortheldrin

    Last prince of the Shen'dralar Highborne, who turns on you after Immol'thar dies. Whirlwind, Arcane Blast and Counterspell; casters stay out of melee range.

  6. 6

    Lord Hel'nurath

    Dreadlord summoned only by warlocks during the Dreadsteed ritual, after defending the summoning circle. Defeating him earns the warlock's epic mount.

  7. 7

    Tsu'zee

    Rare stealthed elf rogue who may appear in the wing. Hits hard from stealth; not every run sees her.

  • Destroying the pylons is the long part: clear each guard group fully before clicking a pylon.
  • After Tortheldrin, the Shen'dralar library opens: turn in class books and librams to the Lorekeepers for arcanum enchantments (for example Libram of Rapidity into Arcanum of Rapidity).
  • Bring a rogue or the Crescent Key from the East wing for the inner doors.
