DUNGEON · LEVEL 40-45

Krol'dok Stronghold

★ New in WoW Forever

A huge open-air ogre fortress in Riverglades, the new contested zone between the Badlands, the Burning Steppes and the Swamp of Sorrows. The ogres kidnap people and raid nearby settlements, and at night suspicious chanting can be heard: everything points to the Twilight's Hammer being behind it. Warcraft Tavern sees it as the alternative to Scarlet Monastery in that level range.

Riverglades, a 35-45 contested zone in southeastern Khaz Modan, east of the Badlands and the Burning Steppes (reachable on foot from the Redridge Mountains, the Badlands or the Swamp of Sorrows, or by boat from Tanaris to Powderfuse Port). The Krol'dok Stronghold subzone appears on the zone map. Entrance coordinates and requirements: not yet published.

New Forever dungeon, it didn't exist in Classic. At BlizzCon it was announced as 40-55 (Icy Veins and Warcraft Tavern reported it that way), but Blizzard corrected it on its forums (Kaivax, September 15, 2026): it will be for levels 40-45.

Blizzard hasn't published its bosses yet. We'll add them as soon as they're known.

This dungeon's loot hasn't been published yet. We'll add it as soon as Blizzard shows it.

• Since it's ogres and open-air, bring crowd control and watch out for packs that join up: Blizzard insists that in Forever dungeons are played with CC and not with reckless AoE.
• If the Twilight's Hammer is behind it, expect shadow casters: the priest's Shadow Protection will come in handy.
• Riverglades has more than 150 quests according to the developers: level through the zone and pick up the ones that send you to the stronghold before going in.
