December 9 Raid Tier: Barrow Deeps, Hyjal Summit, Onyxia
On December 9, level 60 players can put their preparation, teamwork, and mastery of their classes to the test in three raids: Barrow Deeps, Hyjal Summit, and Onyxia’s Lair.
Hidden beneath Kalimdor, the Barrow Deeps is a maximum-level raid for 10 players. Raiders will encounter eight bosses within the subterranean prison that once held Illidan Stormrage, with multiple entrances connected through Mount Hyjal, Winterspring, and Blackmaw Hold.
At the peak of Mount Hyjal near the World Tree Nordrassil, Hyjal Summit features 13 bosses and begins with a battle against an ancient guardian for 20 players. Raid groups navigate multiple paths across the mountain slopes and subterranean ruins.
Deep in Dustwallow Marsh, Onyxia’s Lair is a level 60 raid for 40 players. The three-phase encounter requires fire resistance and positioning coordination. Designed for level 60 players, Onyxia’s Lair requires each member of the raid to carry the Drakefire Amulet to enter.
