Baradin Hold Raid Guides for Cataclysm Classic
Baradin Hold is considered a catch-up raid in Cataclysm as it has no heroic difficulty and drops lower item level gear than other raids. To be able to enter this raid, your faction must win The Battle for Tol Barad first.
Getting into Baradin Hold in Cataclysm
Baradin Hold can only be accessed by the faction that wins the Tol Barad battle every 2 hours 30 minutes. The entrance portal is found in the center of Tol Barad on the Western side of the central circle.
The layout of Baradin Hold is very straight-forward, with 1 boss down each corridor of the instance.
