Hour of Twilight Dungeon Guide
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.
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
Arcurion will be assisted by multiple Frozen Servitors,
who will throw
Icy Boulders at players throughout the fight;
quickly move out of the indicated impact area before they land. Arcurion
will cast
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, which must be killed to set him free. Finally, at 30%
health, Arcurion will channel
Torrent of Frost for the
rest of the encounter; use any remaining cooldowns to finish him off before you
become overwhelmed with damage.

Asira Dawnslayer
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, 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
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, 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 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 and
Twilight Blast will be
frequently used on the tank and should be interrupted as much as possible.
Purifying Blast and
Corrupting Twilight will
create "void-zones", out of either Holy or Shadow respectively, that players
must avoid and move out of.
Both
Wave of Virtue and
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.
