The three raids

Barrow Deeps
10 players · 8 bosses		Hidden beneath Kalimdor, in Mount Hyjal. It has several entrances: from Hyjal, from Winterspring and from Blackmaw Hold. No attunement chain.
Hyjal Summit
20 players · 13 bosses		At the top of Mount Hyjal, next to the World Tree, Nordrassil. It starts with an ancient guardian and then you choose between several paths up the mountain. No attunement chain.
Onyxia's Lair
40 players		In Dustwallow Marsh. It's the classic fight, in three phases and with lots of fire: bring fire resistance. To get in you need the Drakefire Amulet.

Getting into Onyxia: the Drakefire Amulet

Every player in the group must carry it in their bags (you don't need to equip it). You get it through a different quest chain for each faction, and both end with killing General Drakkisath in Upper Blackrock Spire. Start early: it's long and goes through several dungeons.

Alliance chain

  1. In the Burning Steppes, Helendis Riverhorn gives you «Dragonkin Menace».
  2. Follow the «The True Masters» chain (six quests) about the Black Dragonflight and the Blackrock orcs.
  3. Marshal Maxwell, in Morgan's Vigil, sends you to Blackrock Depths to find Marshal Windsor (or proof of his death). You return with «Abandoned Hope».
  4. Inside the Depths, enemies drop «A Crumpled Up Note»: take it to Windsor, who is in his cell.
  5. In «A Shred of Hope», recover Windsor's information held by Golem Lord Argelmach and General Angerforge.
  6. Help Windsor escape («Jail Break!») and go back to Maxwell.
  7. At the gates of Stormwind, Squire Rower brings Windsor over («Stormwind Rendezvous»).
  8. Do «The Great Masquerade» in Stormwind with more players.
  9. Highlord Bolvar Fordragon assigns you «The Dragon's Eye».
  10. In Upper Blackrock Spire, kill General Drakkisath and keep his blood: with it you receive the Drakefire Amulet.

Horde chain

  1. In the Badlands, warlord Goretooth gives you «Blood and Thunder» in Kargath.
  2. Continue with «Warlord's Command» in Lower Blackrock Spire.
  3. Talk to Eitrigg in Orgrimmar and then to Thrall.
  4. In «For the Horde!», go back to Lower Blackrock Spire and bring Thrall the head of Rend Blackhand.
  5. After «What the Wind Carries», find Rexxar in Desolace («The Champion of the Horde»).
  6. Take Rexxar's will to Myranda the Hag in the Western Plaguelands, and get the black dragonspawn eyes («Oculus Illusions»).
  7. With the Amulet of Draconic Subversion, find the drake Emberstrife in Dustwallow Marsh.
  8. Do the four «The Test of Skulls» quests: the skulls of Scryer, Somnus, Chronalis and Axtroz.
  9. Emberstrife gives you the dulled amulet («Ascension...»); take it to Rexxar.
  10. In Upper Blackrock Spire, take General Drakkisath's blood and go back to Rexxar: he gives you the Drakefire Amulet.

Quest names are in English, as in Blizzard's announcement; in the Spanish game client they may be called something different.
