Embers of Neltharion (10.1)
Live on Public Testing Realm (PTR) beginning 10 March AEDT.
As players will learn in Return to the Forbidden Reach (10.0.7), the fallen Earth-warder Neltharion, infamously known as Deathwing, kept a secret laboratory deep underground below the Dragon Isles. Both the newly freed Incarnates and a rebel band of Dracthyr led by Scalecommander Sarkareth pose a threat as they fight to gain access to the lab and control over Neltharion’s long-hidden secrets.
Major features include:
- NEW ZONE: Zaralek Cavern
- New quests, denizens to befriend, exploration, dragonriding updates and more await in this mysterious underground cavern.
- NEW RAID: Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible
- Aberrus is a secret laboratory hidden within Zaralek Cavern and where Neltharion not only created the Dracthyr but also succumbed to the whispers of the Old Gods.
- Players will face nine bosses in an effort to thwart the incarnates as well as Scalecommander Sarkareth, whose forces seek to claim the legacy of the Dracthyr.
- Like Season 1, normal, heroic, and mythic difficulties will release simultaneously.
- NEW MYTHIC+ ROTATION:
- The remaining Dragonflight dungeons will enter the fray:
- Brackenhide Hollow
- Halls of Infusion
- Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr
- Neltharus
- Four dungeons returning from past expansions will provide new challenges to keep the M+ rotation fresh:

- Neltharion’s Lair, Legion
- Vortex Pinnacle, Cataclysm
- Seasonal affixes are in development and will be available for testing later in the PTR cycle.
