Overview

A six-encounter ten-player raid with a timed hostage rescue. Route efficiency matters for timed rewards, but the raid remains clearable after the rescue timer expires.

How to get there

The entrance is in southeastern Ghostlands. Start the gong event with Harrison Jones when the raid is ready.

Show entrance on the World Map

Horde

Requirements & attunements

No raid attunement. The gong event starts the timed sequence.
