The Voidspire
6 encounters, 146 boss abilities and 90 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.
From high above the Voidstorm, Xal'atath has gathered the Devouring Host beneath her dark banner. The towering Voidspire looms like a spear of darkness, a citadel guarded by an army of the void. The forces of the light - led by Alleria Windrunner and the Champions of Azeroth - must rally for one last desperate assault before all is lost.

Imperator Averzian
Imperator Averzian wages a relentless campaign, seeking not conquest, but annihilation. His entire will is bent to a singular ambition: to rend the veil between worlds and carve a breach into the Void itself. Through this wound, his infinite host shall pour forth, drowning Azeroth in darkness.

Vorasius
A colossal predator born in the wastes of the Voidstorm, Vorasius grew to an incredible size fueled by an endless hunger. Summoned to the battle raging at the base of the Voidspire by Voidlight Everdawn, this colossal monster now feasts on both sides.
Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Vorasius periodically strikes the ground with Shadowclaw Slam, creating crystals that divide the battlefield. The behemoth then shakes off parasitic creeps that explode in a Blisterburst upon death.

Vaelgor & Ezzorak

Abilities & Strategy
Overview

Crown of the Cosmos
