The Eye of Eternity Raid Guide for WotLK Classic

The Eye of Eternity represents the seat of power for Malygos and the rest of the Blue Dragonflight. It is here, at a confluence of ley lines, that much of the magic throughout Azeroth flows. However, due to Malygos's belief that reckless use of magic is to blame for the problems faced by the world, he has begun siphoning all of the latent magic and concentrating it into the Focusing Iris within The Eye of Eternity. As a Raid, you and your fellow raiders must enter his domain and put an end to this "Nexus War" once and for all!

If you would like to know more about the other main Raid instances of Wrath of the Lich King Classic Phase 1, please see our overviews of Naxxramas, The Obsidian Sanctum, and the Vault of Archavon as well.

• Raid location — Borean Tundra
• Attunement requirements — Key to the Focusing Iris/ Heroic Key to the Focusing Iris
  • You must first defeat Sapphiron in Naxxramas and turn in the quest items above at Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight.
• Available Difficulties — 10-player and 25-player
• Encounters — 1
• Other notes — Malygos has two mounts on his loot table: Reins of the Blue Drake and Reins of the Azure Drake.

The Eye of Eternity can be found in the Nexus of Coldarra in the northwest island off the shores of Borean Tundra. The nearest flight point for both Alliance and Horde players is Transitus Shield.

The Eye of Eternity is one of the more unique Raid instances of Wrath of the Lich King Classic, as it only features one encounter against Malygos, the Aspect of Magic. This encounter will also take place in a single room, though you will also be able to fly around the space at times!

To learn more about how to defeat Malygos, see our strategy guide below.

The Eye of Eternity in Wrath of the Lich King Classic has a brief, one-quest attunement in order to enter the instance:

• Key to the Focusing Iris
• Heroic Key to the Focusing Iris

However, in order to acquire and turn in these quest items, you must loot them from the Sapphiron encounter in Naxxramas. The only difference between these two items is that the Heroic Key to the Focusing Iris must be acquired to access the 25-player version of The Eye of Eternity and is exclusively dropped by the 25-player version of Sapphiron.

In addition to the one-time attunement quests above, there are also two other one-time quests to defeat Malygos, as well as potentially being a weekly objective from Archmage Lan'dalock near The Violet Hold dungeon in Dalaran. When this is the active weekly quest, you will also gain additional Reputation with the Kirin Tor:

• Judgment at the Eye of Eternity
• Heroic Judgment at the Eye of Eternity
• Malygos Must Die!
