Hour of Twilight Dungeon Guide

Last updated on Feb 18, 2025 at 00:00 by Abide

Hour of Twilight is the second of three dungeons added in during Phase Four of Cataclysm as an introduction to the new raid, Dragon Soul. Here players will go on a journey to uncover the needed information to challenge Deathwing himself.

1.

Introduction

Hour of Twilight is the third and final of the three new dungeons that introduces Dragon Souls story-line, involving Thrall contacting the Dragon Aspects for aid in uncovering Deathwing's nefarious plans. Here you will find out exactly what the Dragon Soul that Thrall found is, and how Deathwing plans to use it exactly. You must have first completed Well of Eternity in order to enter this dungeon.

Hour of Twilight is located in the Caverns of Time zone, inside Tanaris. All three of the new dungeons can be found in this zone, allowing the player to complete the entire quest chain quickly between all three dungeons.

Arcurion Abilities Arcurion will be assisted by multiple Frozen Servitors, who will throw Icy Boulder Icon Icy Boulders at players throughout the fight; quickly move out of the indicated impact area before they land. Arcurion will cast Hand of Frost Icon Hand of Frost at the tank often, and it should be interrupted as much as possible; He will also periodically encase Thrall in an Icy Tomb Icon Icy Tomb, which must be killed to set him free. Finally, at 30% health, Arcurion will channel Torrent of Frost Icon Torrent of Frost for the rest of the encounter; use any remaining cooldowns to finish him off before you become overwhelmed with damage.

  • Mark of Silence Icon Mark of Silence
  • Choking Smoke Bomb Icon Choking Smoke Bomb
  • Blade Barrier Icon Blade Barrier

Asira Dawnslayer Abilities Mark of Silence Icon Mark of Silence will debuff Healers and Casters with a mark, throwing a dagger at any marked player whenever they cast. If this dagger hits a player marked with Mark of Silence Icon Mark of Silence, they will become silenced for 2.5 seconds; have your Tank or Melee DPS "block" these daggers by standing in their path of travel, preventing the marker player from being silenced. Choking Smoke Bomb Icon Choking Smoke Bomb deals damage to players inside, and prevents them from being healed due to "line of sight"; move out of this quickly. At 30% health Asira Dawnslayer will go defensive with Blade Barrier Icon Blade Barrier, reducing all damage taken to 1; to remove this buff and increase her damage taken, she must receive at least 40,000 damage in one attack.

Archbishop Benedictus

Archbishop Benedictus
  • Wave of Virtue Icon Wave of VirtueWave of Twilight Icon Wave of Twilight
  • Smite Icon SmiteTwilight Blast Icon Twilight Blast
  • Purifying Blast Icon Purifying BlastCorrupting Twilight Icon Corrupting Twilight

Archbishop Benedictus is a two phase fight, where he will swap back and forth between using either Holy or Shadow spells. These spells function the exact same way, with the only real differences being: look, name, school of damage. Both Smite Icon Smite and Twilight Blast Icon Twilight Blast will be frequently used on the tank and should be interrupted as much as possible. Purifying Blast Icon Purifying Blast and Corrupting Twilight Icon Corrupting Twilight will create "void-zones", out of either Holy or Shadow respectively, that players must avoid and move out of.

Archbishop Benedictus Wave Both Wave of Virtue Icon Wave of Virtue and Wave of Twilight Icon Wave of Twilight are the main threats of the encounter, as Archbishop Benedictus will create a giant wave of either Holy or Shadow magic and send it across the room. Being hit by the wall is certain death, so look for a safe spot you can head towards to avoid the waves path of destruction.
