Gruul's Lair

January 16, 2007

Gruul's Lair

Normal 25

Gruul lived 19 days and is another of those bosses that just keeps coming back. The third time he may not have any arms though. I hope you brought invul pots.

Magtheridon's Lair

Normal 25

The lesser known of the two pit lords was killed on the server bearing his name and lived for a full 40 days. I swear I clicked on the channeling cube.

Serpentshrine Cavern

Serpentshrine Cavern

Normal 25

Perhaps the most notable quote from this raid is "World First Legit" from Method, after the bugged out WF for Nihilum. Vashj was alive for 73 days and fishing finally had a point.

Tempest Keep

January 16, 2007

Tempest Keep: The Eye

Normal 25

Home of the pre-BT-patch-unkillable Kael and his legendary weapons, the raid remained uncleared for 130 days, almost surpassing Vanilla Ragnaros himself.

Mount Hyjal

May 22, 2007

Battle for Mount Hyjal

Normal 25

The raid duplicates the final mission of Warcraft 3. It was technically there from the expansion's launch, but before Kael'thas died you couldn't enter it. Archimonde lived 26 days.

Black Temple

We finally got to see who was and wasn't prepared. Nihilum got every single kill in the raid, a feat that hasn't been repeated since (in "real" raids. Ensidia did the same in the 2 day-Naxx re-dux/joke). Illidan lived 21 days.

Gating was heavily featured here, which is the only reason Kil'jaeden made it to 62 days alive. M'uru was also a huge challenge in the raid.
