RaidOverview
Blizzard's raid overview puts Hyjal Summit at the top of Mount Hyjal, beside Nordrassil. The first fight is against an ancient guardian. After that the raid branches, and groups pick their own route through ruins on the surface and underground. It is built for 20 players at level 60, making it the larger of the two new Forever raids.
This Hyjal Summit takes place after Archimonde's death, so it is a different raid from the Burning Crusade version. The Legacy challenges name 13 bosses, among them Bandalar, Ancient of Decay, Time-Lost Battalion, Council of Thorns and Nythus the Dreambound, with The Wild King as the final boss.

Tips
- Hyjal Summit opens on 9 December together with Barrow Deeps and Onyxia's Lair, so be level 60 by then.
- Build a 20-player roster. That is twice the size of Barrow Deeps and half of Onyxia's Lair.
- The route branches after the opening boss, so agree on a path with your group before the first pull.
