Blackwing Descent


Blackwing Descent is a new raid instance that will come with World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. The entrance to the raid instance will be close to Nefarian's throne in Blackwing Lair and will be accessible by flying to the throne. It will feature Nefarian as a boss, who returned from the assault on his lair and retreated further into the spire.

Little is known about Blackwing Descent at the moment. It is a part of the Blackrock Spire complex occupied by the Black dragonflight and, probably Twilight's Hammer that recently changed sides, as they were previously allied with Dark Iron dwarves inhabiting Blackrock Depths who rivaled for control of the mountain against Nefarian and his minions. However the alliance between Deathwing and Ragnaros in Mount Hyjal suggests the forces of Blackrock Mountain may be fighting as a single army.

One of the first boss encounters, Omnitron Defense System, was enabled for beta testing on 10/17/2010 for a three hour period. Check out the boss page for more details.

Two more encounters, Atramedes and Maloriak, were opened on 10/20/2010 for several hours.

We've got some images of Blackwing Descent below.
