Dragon Soul Raid Guides for Cataclysm Classic
Dragon Soul is the main raid of phase four in Cataclysm. Here you will be engage in an epic battle through the depths of the corrupted Dragonblight, culminating in a confrontation with the corrupted Aspect of the Black Dragonflight himself, Deathwing.
Getting into Dragon Soul in Cataclysm
The Dragon Soul raid instance portal can be found in the Caverns of Time in Tanaris, near the Mount Hyjal raid instance. Here you will also find the three new dungeons also added to the game during phase four of Cataclysm.
Dragon Soul Layout
The first part of Dragon Soul contains the first four bosses of the instance. Morchok will be the first up, then the raid must engage Warlord Zon'ozz and Yor'sahj the Unsleeping in whichever order you choose. Lastly you will face off against Hagara the Stormbinder at the top of Wyrmrest Temple as you fight to regain control of this dragon stronghold.
In this second half of the instance players will need to survive a deadly assault by Ultraxion, then take to the air to defeat Warmaster Blackhorn, clearing the skies and allowing your raid to finally engage Deathwing himself over two seperate encounters, Spine of Deathwing and Madness of Deathwing.
Dragon Soul Boss Strategies
Dragon Soul is a mostly linear raid, requiring you to defeat all bosses in a specific order. The only exception for Dragon Soul is Warlord Zon'ozz and Yor'sahj the Unsleeping, which can be defeated in either order.
Dragon Soul Loot
With a total of bosses, Dragon Soul has a wide quantity of loot available for players to earn. Below you can find all of the loot available in the raid, including trash loot, all on one page for easier viewing.
