The Drowned City has eight quests and a trinket

The Drowned City off Stranglethorn Vale is a big step up from the earlier dungeons of World of Warcraft: Forever. Eight quests are now known, for the Alliance, the Horde and both, plus the first boss drop: a trinket.

The two Alliance quests open after the troll chain in Hillsbrad Foothills that starts with The Second Rebellion and ends with Troll Witchery. The rewards of Take Two With Water come with the follow-up Findings for the Explorer’s League in Ironforge. The Horde quests in Grom’gol open after The Vile Reef. The three quests for both factions need level 34, the rest level 30. All givers and objectives are in the Quests tab.

Six bosses

• Zul’Alai: casts Undying Oath when his health is low, so watch his buffs. Healers stay out of reach of his stun.
• Var’Taka: his adds heal him, so kill them fast or keep them out with crowd control. The tank turns him away from the group.
• Primeval Elemental: interrupt his area spell or the group is slowed. He can drop Heart of the Primeval, a trinket with up to 19 spell damage and healing for 30 seconds.
• Captain Dreadrise: Embrine drowns a player in a bubble; break them out.
• Deathless Marrow: by far the hardest fight. He spams Bloodbolt while troll adds keep coming, and every add that dies makes him take 20% more damage. Control the adds while you bring the boss down.
• Min’loth the Serpent: turn him away from the group and cleanse his poison fast.

Umbra and Gill are rares that are not always there. The shark Zin’aka swims among the trash: it almost always wipes the group and drops nothing, so stay away from it.

Bring a poison cleanser

The trash here hits hard. Pick kill targets, use crowd control and pull one pack at a time. There is a lot of poison damage, so a Druid, Shaman or Paladin who can remove it helps a lot. The full strategy is in our guide to The Drowned City.
