How To Get To Blackfathom Deeps

Follow the guidance below to learn how to get to Blackfathom Deeps depending on your faction.

Alliance players should travel from Auberdine in Darkshore and head south to the dungeon.

All alliance players will have easy access to get here, as in WoW: Forever has added Stormwind Harbor, a port in Stormwind City with a boat that takes players straight to Auberdine.

Horde players have a flightpath in the Zoram Strand. The closest capital cities will be Orgrimmar and Thunderbluff.

By this level, Horde should have the Crossroads flightpath at least. When traveling to the Zoram Strand, make sure you grab the flightpath before you head to the dungeon!

Blackfathom Deeps Bosses

The bosses of Blackfathom Deeps consist of beasts, Naga, Murlocs, and Twilight's Hammer Cultists

Ghamoo-Ra

Ghamoo-ra is the first boss of Blackfathom Deeps. He has high armor and will take reduced physical damage. Casters will be able to still deal their normal damage.

His only ability is Trample, dealing AoE damage to everyone around him. Use armor reduction abilities such as Sunder Armor and Faerie Fire for your physical damage dealers.

Lady Sarevess

Lady Sarevess is accompanied by two other Naga enemies. Take down the adds first, then Sarevess. Use stuns on the adds to take them down faster, and you can use crowd control like a Mage's Polymorph to make the fight easier.

Forked Lightning will hit everyone in front of the target, so the tank should face the boss away from the raid. She'll also Frost Nova anyone around here, and then proceed to leave melee range of the tank and Shoot them until the tank can be freed or the timer runs out.

On top of that, she'll cast Slow on a random target. Take the adds down, or use crowd control, tank the boss facing away from the raid, and burn her down.

Gelihast

The main focus of this encounter is pulling the Murloc NPCs before pulling the boss. Pull them back and take them out in packs of 1-2. Once the room is clear, pull the boss.

Gelihast only has one ability: Net, which just immobilizes the target for 10 seconds. Once the adds around the boss are dead, you just essentially take down another murloc add but with a name.

Old Serra'kis

Old Serra'kis hides in the waters of Blackfathom Deeps. He has no abilities, but the challenge is defeating him before you drown. Take a deep breath, get in the water, and take this boss down!

Twilight Lord Kelris

Twilight Lord Kelris protects Aku'mai and prevents anyone from entering his quarters. Before pulling the boss, take out the adds around the room. Use the wall by the entrance to Line of Sight the caster mobs to your party.

Twilight Lord Kelris has two abilities: Mind Blast, and Sleep. He'll continuously cast Mind Blast on the tank, and will put a random player to Sleep, even the healer!

Aku'mai

Aku’mai is hidden in a secret chamber past Kelris's quarters in Blackfathom Deeps. To gain access, defeat the mobs that are summoned when you click the 4 braziers.

Click the Braziers one at a time because clicking all of them will summon them all at once and will be too overwhelming. Here's what gets summoned:

Aku'mai himself is a simple boss with only two mechanics: Poison Cloud and Frenzied Rage. Poison Cloud will influct heavy nature damage to all players every 5 seconds for 45 seconds. Move out of the clouds. A

s the fight progresses, Aku'mai will enrage with Frenzied Rage, increasing attack speed by 75%. No one should be taking poison cloud damage, and the healer should only be focusing on the tank in this fight, especially during Frenzied Rage.
