About Naxxramas
Naxxramas is the floating necropolis of the Scourge, hovering above Stratholme in the Eastern Plaguelands. Added in patch 1.11, it is the last and hardest raid of the 1.12 world, with four quarters that open the way to Sapphiron and the lich Kel'Thuzad. Many guilds of the era never saw its final boss.
On Keldurn, Naxxramas follows the rules of patch 1.12 with x1 rates, so preparation, consumables and a coordinated raid matter as much as they did then.
Naxxramas wings and bosses
Naxxramas is split into 5 wings that load as separate instances, so a group can choose one per run.
Arachnid Quarter: Anub'Rekhan, Grand Widow Faerlina and Maexxna.
Plague Quarter: Noth the Plaguebringer, Heigan the Unclean and Loatheb.
Military Quarter: Instructor Razuvious, Gothik the Harvester and The Four Horsemen.
Construct Quarter: Patchwerk, Grobbulus, Gluth and Thaddius.
Frostwyrm Lair: Sapphiron and Kel'Thuzad.
How to reach Naxxramas
The necropolis floats above the Eastern Plaguelands. Players reach it after the attunement quest from the Argent Dawn.
Before the first pull
A raid of 40 needs a plan before the first pull: assign tanks and healers, bring consumables and learn each encounter first.
- Each quarter can be cleared in any order; many guilds start with the Arachnid Quarter.
- Frost resistance is needed for Sapphiron and Kel'Thuzad.
- Thaddius swaps positive and negative charges; move to the right side when yours changes.
