Blackmaw Hold dungeon guide

Overview

The dungeon belongs to the Blackmaw furbolgs, and its bosses are a mix of beasts, a shaman, an undead, an elemental and two demons: Withermaw, Impaan the Imprisoner, Elder Shaman Bloodmane, Bonesnout the Unbroken, Blackmaw Behemoth, Unbound Spirit and Varrox Bleakhoof. Three of them also drop quest items, so pick up the quests before you go in.

The two trinkets are the drops most players will look at. Unbound Spirit's Flamebreak Talisman gives 33 Agility for 30 seconds, plus another 33 when an elemental is nearby, on a five minute cooldown. Varrox's Scalding Flamehoof gives movement speed but makes you take 14% more Fire damage for 20 seconds.

Getting there

Fly to Talrendis Point (Alliance) or Valormok (Horde) in Azshara. The tunnel mouth is at about 38.7, 33.4 under Darkwhisper Gorge, with a meeting stone nearby at 39.6, 34.0. Follow the tunnel northwest and uphill to the portal at about 35.0, 23.6.
