WoW Forever Raids

Hyjal Summit

The bigger of the two new raids. It opens with a fight against an ancient guardian; after that the raid chooses between several paths across the mountain, through ruins above and below ground, before the final encounters.

Opens 9 December 2026

Boss names come from the game files: they are the encounters of the raid’s Legacy challenge. The list is not a confirmed kill order, and abilities and loot are unknown until the raid opens.

Defeating every boss completes the Legacy challenge “Conqueror of the Wilds”, worth one Legacy point.
