City of Dalaran is a new dungeon of WoW Forever in the Alterac Mountains. The barrier over the city is down.

Enchantments backfire and arcane constructs run wild in the streets. Your group goes in through the sewers.

Here is how a run comes together:

  1. Do the attunement for your faction. Alliance characters start with An Alarming Request in Southshore. Horde characters start with Magus Wordeen Voidglare in Tarren Mill.
  2. Get the Dalaran Sewer Key. The Image of Archmage Modera hands it over at the end of the chain, in Silverpine Forest, right outside the dungeon entrance.
  3. Clear the sewers. Atrexis the Grave Knight waits down there with his necromancers.
  4. Clear the city. The Mana Devourer, the Arcane Anomaly, the Fel Ancient, the Arcanic Enigma and the Unstable Sentinel wait in the streets and halls.
  5. Finish in the Violet Chamber. Archmage Modera opens a portal for the group, and the Shade of the Archmage waits on the other side.

City of Dalaran attunement and the Sewer Key

Both factions need a short quest line before the gate opens. It ends with the Dalaran Sewer Key.

FactionStarts withWhereEnds with
AllianceAn Alarming RequestEmissary Jacques, SouthshoreThe Image of Archmage Modera, who gives the key
HordeKey to the City and Prison Break-InMagus Wordeen Voidglare, Tarren MillDalaran Patrols and Blood in the Streets, then the Image of Archmage Modera

An Alarming Request sends Alliance characters straight to the Image of Archmage Modera. Horde characters go through Dalaran Patrols and Blood in the Streets before they reach her.

She gives the key together with Heart of Disruption.

Since the 15 October update, Horde characters are attacked on sight in the city of Dalaran. The dungeon itself stays open to the Horde.

City of Dalaran bosses and how to beat them

Atrexis the Grave Knight

Atrexis stands in the sewers with Kirin Tor Necromancers around him. Kill the necromancers before you pull him.

He raises skeletons during the fight, so kill them as they come. His Unholy Frenzy can be purged.

Mana Devourer

Debilitate drains the mana of your casters. Drain Vitality can be dispelled.

Arcane Anomaly

Focal Blast fires a beam from the Anomaly. Step out of its path.

Fel Ancient

The Fel Ancient waits behind a magic barrier. Talk to Magus Fansy Goodbringer to lower it.

His abilities are Entangle, Fel Timbers and Trample.

Arcanic Enigma

The Arcanic Enigma casts Manamorph and Silence. Mana Phantoms join the fight.

Unstable Sentinel

Malfunction hits the players close to the Sentinel. Melee players step back when it starts.

Shade of the Archmage

Speak to Archmage Modera at the Violet Citadel. She opens the Portal to the Violet Chamber, where the Shade waits.

Bounding Mana sends out a slow orb that hurts anything it touches, so stay out of its way. When his mana runs out, he casts Mass Polymorph on the group and then Evocation.

Lyn the Ignored and the Tome of Dalaran

Lyn the Ignored is a hidden boss of the sewers. She only appears for a group that carries the Tome of Dalaran.

  1. Clear Shadowfang Keep. After Archmage Arugal dies, take the Black Tome from the table in his room.
  2. Go to Ambermill in Silverpine Forest. Use the Black Tome at the Leyline Focus there. It becomes the Tome of Dalaran.
  3. Enter City of Dalaran and pass Atrexis. Find the small summoning circle beyond him.
  4. Use the Tome at the circle. Lyn the Ignored comes out to fight.

Our Shadowfang Keep guide covers the run to Arugal.
