About Maraudon
Maraudon is a vast cave system sacred to the centaur of Desolace, poisoned by the corruption of an earth elemental princess. It is split into coloured sides and an inner sanctum with waterfalls, crystal caves and a lake. Its size makes it a dungeon many groups visit several times on the road to 60.
On Keldurn, Maraudon follows the rules of patch 1.12 with x1 rates, so the run still rewards a balanced group, crowd control and a careful pull.
Maraudon wings and bosses
Maraudon is split into 3 wings that load as separate instances, so a group can choose one per run.
Wicked Grotto (purple) (levels 45 to 53): Tinkerer Gizlock and Lord Vyletongue.
Foulspore Cavern (orange) (levels 45 to 53): Noxxion and Razorlash.
Poison Falls and Earth Song Falls (levels 48 to 57): Celebras the Cursed, Meshlok the Harvester (rare), Landslide, Rotgrip and Princess Theradras.
How to reach Maraudon
The entrance is in western Desolace, inside the Valley of Spears. The purple and orange sides open from the outer caves; the Scepter of Celebras from the quest line opens a shortcut to the inner section on later visits.
Tips for a first run
Bring a tank, a healer and three damage dealers, and agree on loot rules before the first pull.
- Decide which side to run before entering; each one is a full evening on its own.
- Celebras, once defeated, helps you build the Scepter of Celebras for faster access later.
- Princess Theradras hits hard and knocks players back; tank her with her back to a wall.
