DUNGEON · LEVEL 19-25

Wailing Caverns

Beneath an oasis in The Barrens, the druid Naralex tried to heal the land with the Emerald Dream and became trapped in a nightmare that twisted the cave and its creatures. His disciples, the Druids of the Fang, were corrupted and now rule the serpent-shaped tunnels. It's a maze of tunnels, pools and jumps where it's easy to get lost, and it ends with a ritual to awaken Naralex facing his nightmare, Mutanus.

The Barrens, at the Lushwater Oasis southwest of The Crossroads: you enter the cave through the skull's mouth (46.0, 36.3 according to Warcraft Tavern) and go down to a large pool where the portal is; elites patrol outside. No key. The Alliance gets there by boat from Booty Bay to Ratchet or by coming down from Ashenvale.

Level range according to Forever sources: Icy Veins (beta) 15-24; Warcraft Tavern 17-24. According to Warcraft Tavern, little changes except the loot, which includes a set with a bonus that gives druids a serpent appearance for Cat Form. New Forever items: Snake Eye Kaleidoscope (Anacondra), Cloak of Hermitic Bliss (Kresh), Slither Cord (Pythas), Skum's Bucket (Skum). Beta notes: the snakes that come out of the Serpentbloom despawn after a few minutes; less experience from dungeon quests in general.

• Don't leave without killing the four Fang leaders: without them the Disciple of Naralex won't start the Mutanus ritual.
• Bring someone who can interrupt: almost all the druids cast Sleep and heal themselves.
• Careful with the jumps between ledges: if you fall into the water below, the way back is long and full of mobs.
