Checked: 2026-10-23
Barrow Deeps, Hyjal Summit and Onyxia’s Lair open December 9 for level 60 players.
Barrow Deeps is a 10-player raid with eight bosses and entrances connected to Mount Hyjal, Winterspring and Blackmaw Hold. Hyjal Summit is a 20-player raid near Nordrassil with thirteen bosses and branching routes after its opening guardian.
Onyxia’s Lair in Dustwallow Marsh takes 40 players. Every member needs the Drakefire Amulet in their inventory; it need not be equipped. The faction-specific chains start in Burning Steppes for Alliance and Kargath for Horde and involve high-level dungeons.
The US overview schedules all three for December 9 at level 60, with weekly resets currently planned. An exact opening time is not supplied. Prepare your group and attunement before launch of the raids.
