The Slave Pens Dungeon Guide

Before heading into The Slave Pens, we advise you to get all the dungeon quests related to it. To make this process easier, we have written a separate guide for the quests and their chains.

Conveniently, all dungeons in Zangarmarsh are located in one centralized location: Coilfang Reservoir. This area is in the middle of the map on the Northern side in the water.

You will need to swim towards the middle of the lake until you come across the structure in the picture Above. After that swim down and you will see a pipe opening, shown below, to swim through. Swim through to the other side to emerge with the summoning stone in front of you and all three Coilfang dungeons before you. The Slave Pens is the dungeon portal located on the far left.

The Slave Pens is very divergent in the options it offers regarding how you approach the dungeon. There are many trash packs that can be outright skipped and a few different pathing options your party may choose to take when running through this dungeon.

In the picture above, there is a common skip marked with an "s". While it is not a requirement to do this skip, it is very common to do this on Heroic difficulty.

When you come to this bridge avoid the patrols and head towards the left side.

Jump over this ledge and land on the platform below. Heal or eat food after as you will take a large amount of fall damage.

Turn around and head through the opening behind you, running along the ledge.

From here your goal is to run off the ledge and fall down to the lower ledge, marked in the picture above. Then simply walk along the ledge until you round the corner and you have completed the skip.

Killing mobs in this instance grants Cenarion Expedition reputation.

• The majority of monsters will grant 5 reputation each.
• Each boss grants 50 reputation.
• A Normal run of The Slave Pens will give around 500 reputation.
• Reputation gains in Normal stop at (5999/6000) Friendly, including bosses.

• The majority of monsters will grant 15 reputation each.
• Each boss grants 250 reputation.
• A Heroic run of The Slave Pens will give around 1,200 reputation.

In this section, we will briefly go over each of the trash mobs that pose a threat to you in this dungeon.

• Geyser
• Disarm

When engaged in combat, these will aggro any nearby Wastewalker Slave and Wastewalker Worker. If you focus-fire the Slavemaster first, these will stop attacking you and thank you for freeing them.

• Cleave
• Frightening Shout

Ranged players should attempt to stand away from the mob to avoid the Frightening Shout. If a fear does occur, be mindful of the Cleave.

• Arcane Missiles
• Domination

Attempt to line-of-sight these to avoid taking too many Arcane Missiles and force them into melee range. You will want to either kill these first or use crowd control on them as the Domination can be quite deadly if used on a strong target such as the tank or a geared DPS.

• Shield Slam
• Spell Reflection

These can hit somewhat hard, especially when paired with a stun from Shield Slam. Casters should be cautious to not reflect too many spells back at themselves. Try to use AoE spells to deal damage while the Spell Reflection is up.

• Heal
• Holy Nova
• Power Word: Shield

These have a very high healing output and should either be killed first or be the focus of crowd control abilities and kicks.

• Psychic Horror

These are worth noting as the horrify can be quite annoying at times. Depending on your party, you may want to CC these or focus them down quickly.

Here we will give you a full rundown of what you can expect from each of the bosses found here on both Normal and Heroic difficulties as well as the items they drop.

• Corrupted Nova Totem
• Mennu's Healing Ward
• Tainted Earthgrab Totem
• Tainted Stoneskin Totem
• Lightning Bolt

Mennu the Betrayer himself is not very threatening; most of his power comes from his totems. Mennu's Healing Ward, Tainted Earthgrab Totem, and Tainted Stoneskin Totem should all be killed as quickly as possible. However, it is very important to avoid killing Corrupted Nova Totem. When the Corrupted Nova Totem expires OR is killed, it will deal massive AoE damage around it.

• Grievous Wound
• Ensnaring Moss
• Water Spit
• Enrage

This is a fairly straightforward fight. Heal whoever has Grievous Wound on them to full health. This fight may be tough if you have an undergeared healer. Ensnaring Moss on the healer can also cause issues as this will make their casts longer.

• Acid Spray
• Poison Bolt Volley
• Uppercut
• Cleave

While he deals fairly high damage to the tank with his multiple abilities, Quagmirran's real danger comes from his Acid Spray and Poison Bolt Volley abilities. Make sure to face him away from the group, especially melee.

To properly deal with the Acid Spray, have the party spread out as much as possible while still staying within range of your healer. When Quagmirran turns around to target a player with the spray, use any defensive cooldowns such as Ice Block, Feign Death, or Divine Shield to stop the channel. Tanks can also taunt the boss during this to be targeted by a few ticks of the spray instead.

Poison Bolt Volley can be just as, if not more, deadly than Acid Spray depending on your gear level and group composition. The high initial damage coupled with the damage-over-time afterward makes for very high party-wide damage. Use any Cleanse-like abilities at your disposal to remove the poisons from the entire group as soon as possible.

The pulls in The Slave Pens are small, so no significant amount of AoE is needed. There is no real need for any crowd control in The Slave Pens. It is strongly recommended to have a Shaman in the party for Tremor Totem as well as Poison Cleansing Totem. This will trivialize almost all of the content.
