The Drowned City
A troll city that rose out of the sea. Cut from the original game, back in Forever.
Naga, makrura and risen trolls on an island no boat or flight path reaches yet. Very little is confirmed: this page is what we know so far, and it will grow.
Get ready
Getting there
Gillijim's Isle, southwest of Stranglethorn. The likely entrance is a blue portal in Sunken Hollow, a cave on the island. In the beta it didn't work yet, and no boat or flight path goes there yet.
Zone: Gillijim's Isle, off the coast of Stranglethorn Vale
Grab these quests
- Ancient Gurubashi Idol (Horde, level 40, from 30): from Mazu'kon in Mulgore. Bring back an idol from the city. About 8,800 XP.
- Quest items like the Voodoo-Infused Artifact (dropped by Saltseer Manhunters) and several bundles hint at more quests to come.
Who and what to bring
- Expect naga in tight packs: crowd control and interrupts will matter.
- Water breathing helps on an island dungeon.
What's new here
Brand new in WoW Forever
This dungeon has no Classic version, so there are no old guides for it. What's here comes from the beta and the first weeks of Forever. Blizzard is still tuning it, so check your tooltips.
Legacy challenge
The dungeon counts toward the Legacy challenge Experienced Spelunker.
Boss by boss
Bosses found in the game files so far (names and order may change)

Trash that can wipe you

Bring a summoner
With no boat, a Warlock who gets there first can summon the rest of the group.
