Blackrock Depths Detention Block
The Detention Block half of Blackrock Depths starts as soon as you enter the dungeon. The bosses can be defeated in a various number of orders depending on your groups preference. Below you will find our guide covering all of the challenges awaiting you in this dungeon:
Blackrock Depths Upper City
The second half of Blackrock Depths is called Upper City, and contains higher level, more difficult enemies than the earlier half. Groups will usually want to skip the earlier parts of the dungeon and head directly back towards the Upper City to face these tougher enemies to obtain their more powerful rewards.
