The Burning Crusade Dungeons & Raids Guides

Fathom-Lord Karathress is the fourth boss of the Serpentshrine Cavern raid in TBC Classic Anniversary, and it’s the first true council encounter your raid will face in the instance. Rather than fighting one boss, you’re fighting four at once: Karathress and his three loyal Fathom-Guards, each with their own abilities, threat tables, and tank/healer assignments. Every time a guard dies, …

Morogrim Tidewalker is the fifth boss of the Serpentshrine Cavern raid in TBC Classic Anniversary, and many raids find him tougher than his position in the kill order suggests. The fight itself isn’t mechanically complicated, but it punishes poor add control and healer awareness harder than almost anything else in the instance — repeated waves of Murlocs rush the raid …

Lady Vashj is the sixth and final boss of the Serpentshrine Cavern raid in TBC Classic Anniversary, and she’s the encounter that separates raids who are merely geared from raids who are genuinely coordinated. This is one of the longest fights in all of TBC Classic, built around three distinct phases that each demand a completely different set of responsibilities …

Kael’thas Sunstrider is the final boss of Tempest Keep and widely considered one of the most demanding encounters in all of The Burning Crusade. Five phases, four advisors, seven legendary weapons, and a Mind Control mechanic that can turn your own raid against itself — this fight rewards careful preparation more than raw gear. Make sure your roster is dialed …

Tempest Keep (The Eye) is one of two Tier 5 raids released in Phase 2 of TBC Classic Anniversary 2026, alongside Serpentshrine Cavern. Before your guild sets foot inside Kael’thas Sunstrider’s floating fortress, there are a handful of requirements you need to lock down: character level, attunement, reputation, and raid composition. This guide breaks down exactly what you need, so …

Void Reaver is the encounter that punishes a raid for sloppy threat habits more than any boss-specific mechanic. There’s no add phase, no enrage timer to race against early, and no positioning puzzle — just a single-phase Void Reaver fight that comes down to tank rotation, spacing, and staying topped off on health. Get those three things right and this …

High Astromancer Solarian is the most mechanically demanding of the three optional bosses in Tempest Keep. A former Blood Elf mage consumed by Void magic, she cycles between a casting phase, an add wave, and a final Voidwalker transformation — each with its own rhythm. Get the cycle down and this fight becomes very manageable. Skip a step and Wrath …

Al’ar is the opening boss of Tempest Keep and one of the longest fights in the raid, second only to Kael’thas Sunstrider in total health. The phoenix’s two phases test very different skills — Phase 1 is about platform control and tank positioning, while Phase 2 demands tight movement and tank swaps on the ground. If you haven’t checked the …

Tempest Keep: The Eye is the 25-player flagship raid of TBC Classic Anniversary Phase 2, releasing on May 14, 2026 alongside Serpentshrine Cavern. Floating above eastern Netherstorm, it holds four bosses — ending with Kael’thas Sunstrider, one of the most complex encounters in The Burning Crusade. This hub covers every guide you need to walk in prepared. Quick Facts: Tempest …

Getting attuned for Tempest Keep (The Eye) is a long road, but it’s also one of the most rewarding questlines in TBC Classic Anniversary 2026 — it tells a genuinely good story in Shadowmoon Valley before sending you through four Heroic dungeons. This guide walks through every step, from your very first quest with Oronok Torn-heart to the moment A’dal …
