City of Dalaran

Access and features

An attunement questline is required. Alliance begin “An Alarming Request” with Emissary Jacques in Southshore; Horde begin “Key to the City” and “Prison Break-In” with Magus Wordeen Voidglare in Tarren Mill. The dungeon entrance is through the sewers.

The sewer key and preparation

Blizzard identifies faction-specific starting quests: Alliance begin An Alarming Request in Southshore; Horde begin Key to the City and Prison Break-In in Tarren Mill. Confirm each player’s current quest and key state before leaving.

Method’s October 15 Forever guide places the dungeon gate outside the northwestern city wall and describes a Dalaran Sewer Key. It lists the Horde chain through Dalaran Patrols and Blood in the Streets; check the live quest log for the next step.

Encounters: community observations

Method reports that Atrexis raises additional enemies; clear nearby necromancers before pulling and control the adds. At Arcanic Enigma, interrupt the accompanying Mana Phantoms and watch for additional summons.

The guide describes Unstable Sentinel using a frontal attack and area damage, Fel Ancient rooting players near damaging ground effects, and Mana Devourer draining mana. Face the sentinel away, move from hazards when able, and prepare for mana pressure.

Method reports that Lyn the Ignored is summoned with a Tome of Dalaran, made by taking a Black Tome from Arugal’s room in Shadowfang Keep to the ley line in Ambermill’s town hall. This optional process and all encounter advice are dated beta observations; verify them in the current game.
