World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classichas entered its fourth and final phase before the next expansion. Patch 4.4.2 includes various new features, such as dungeons, better gear, and a new quest line. This is only for players of level 85 or higher and leads players through a storyline where Deathwing waits along with a few of his powerful friends.
This isn’t about attunement, which hasn’t really been a thing in WoW since theWorld of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classicexpansion. The questline isn’t required to enter the raid, but players can follow the compelling questline and join some of Azeroth’s most powerful and famous heroes while they explore three new dungeons.
The only requirement for this quest is that the character bemaxed out at level 85. Characters should have a gear score of level 359 or better, and the gear in the dungeons is 378.
The End Time
Optional Start That Also Includes A Free Port
Players can begin a quest line that ports them directly to Nozdormu at the beginning of theEnd Timedungeon. Players who would prefer a port can start “The End Time” questline.
All that’s required to finish this quest is to speak toNozdormu, who is waiting immediately in front of the entrance to the dungeon. Speak to him to complete the quest and move on to the next one,Murozond.
The quest to kill Murozund is available to the player even if they haven’t taken the initial quest from their capital city. It’s possible to enter the dungeon from the Caverns of Time and get the quest from him without the prerequisite quest. The next one, however, is mandatory.
Murozond
Kill The Final Boss Of The End Time
The adventuring party has to fight their way through two famous heroes, chosen randomly from the famous leaders from both Horde and Alliance lore, until meeting the corrupted dragon Murozund. It’s a tough fight that involves an interesting mechanic that players have to use strategically at certain times to turn back time a few precious seconds. There are only five charges for this, so use them sparingly.
After the dragon has fallen, Nozdormu appears on the field, and players can speak to him and complete the quest. He then gives them the option of moving on toThe Well of Eternity, where the quest continues.
The Well Of Eternity
Experience The Power Of The Highborne
All that’s required to complete this quest is tospeak to Nozdormu, who is waiting at the beginning of this dungeon to guide the player to their next adventure. Players then move into an ancient Highborne courtyard to aid Illidan in his dangerous quest.
UnlikeThe End Time andHour of Twilight, TheWell Of Eternitydoesn’t have an entrance in the same section of the Caverns. The entrance to theWell of Eternityis on the opposite side of the big hourglass.
In Unending Numbers
Witness The Invasion Of Azeroth
Illidan Stormrage returns, this time as an ally in the fight against the Burning Legion and Queen Azshara, along with hordes of demons, satyrs, and Highborne minions that have traded their souls for the power of the Legion. Players have to follow Illidan through a perilous courtyard filled with enemies tofree the Dragon Soul,and the sheer multitudeof demons gives this quest its name.
Disable the three portals, which look like groups of giant green crystals floating near the ground, and defeat Peroth’arn. Speak to Illidan again to finish the quest and move on to the next challenge.
The Vainglorious
Defeat The Queen
Nozdormu is waiting for the players again, this time near the Well of Eternity, and it’s time toface none other than Azshara herself. This fight isn’t intended to defeat her but just distract and weaken her, so she’s driven back to the Twisting Nether,even if only temporarily.
Once she’s grown tired of the night’s entertainment, players can turn in the quest to Nozdormu, who then gives them another quest. This time, players have to face a familiar enemy that they have probably already killed in a previous expansion.
The Path To The Dragon Soul
Rescued From The Clutches Of Mannoroth
The last quest players will get from Nozdormu in this sequence is The Path to the Dragon Soul. Continuing in the same fashion as the previous requests, players are required to kill the final boss of the dungeon to free the Dragon Soul and allow Nozdormu to take it.
Mannoroth is also the boss in a one-room raid inHellfire Penninsula, where he is also one of the Legion’s most powerful minionsand a complex mechanicis the only way to destroy him. He only needs to beweakened and returned to the nether, just like Azshara, rather than killed.
This time, players will turn this quest in to Illidan instead of Nozdormu, and he doesn’t have the follow-up. It’s at this time that Chromie, your old friend from theBronze Dragonflight, has the next quest that leads into the third dungeon.
The Hour Of Twilight
Chromie can transport the player to the Hour of Twilight, where Thrall is waiting at the beginning of the long, frozen path that leads toWyrmrest Temple. Speak to him to finish this quest, and he’ll offer the player the last and final step.
This quest doesn’t start immediately after the playertakes the next quest. Thrall has to be prompted to move, sodon’t forget to speak to him before getting started.
To Wyrmrest!
Guide Thrall To The Final Fight
Thrall gives the player this quest after they’ve already spoken to him as directed by Chromie. Players have to guide Thrall through the deadly gauntlet of ice that leads south from the invasion point of the Old Gods and their minions andfight three bosses to save the powerful Shamanso he can survive and fulfill his destiny.
This completes the quest chain, and all three dungeons are now open. It’s worth running them again to get some better gear and more experiencebefore trying the new raid, which also involves some famous heroes and has its own lore and backstory.
