Temple of Sethraliss
4 encounters, 39 boss abilities and 43 drops, with the Adventure Guide’s own ability and strategy notes for each fight. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry a live Auction House price.
Centuries ago, Sethraliss, a powerful snake loa, sacrificed herself to stop Mythrax from unleashing his master upon Azeroth. After the battle, her devoted followers transported her remains and built a temple around them while they awaited her rebirth. Now, a dark force stirs within this sacred temple that seeks to twist her power towards nefarious ends.
