Classic guide shown for ForeverThis guide describes the instance as it was in the expansion it comes from. Its encounters and loot carry over to Wrath of the Lich King, but keys and attunements changed: see the Attunements guide.More

Overview

A short lava cavern beneath Orgrimmar, occupied by troggs and the Searing Blade cult. Its compact route makes it a first dungeon for Horde groups, with optional side targets before the cult leaders.

How to get there

Enter the Cleft of Shadow in central Orgrimmar and follow the descending path to the instance portal.

Show entrance on the World Map

Alliance

The entrance is inside a Horde capital. City guards make this an impractical leveling trip for Alliance groups.

Horde

Gather in Orgrimmar, descend into the Cleft of Shadow, and pick up Thrall's Hidden Enemies chain before entering.

Requirements & attunements

Tips & preparation

  • Stay on the rock paths: falling into lava can turn a recoverable pull into a death.
  • Kill ranged cultists away from nearby packs. A line-of-sight pull around the cavern walls keeps them together.
