Battle of Dazar'alor,[1][2] (also referred to as Siege of Zuldazar[3] and Battle of Zuldazar)[4] is a raid in Battle for Azeroth, introduced in Patch 8.1.0: Tides of Vengeance. The Alliance assaults Dazar'alor, while the Horde defends it. There are faction-specific raid entrances located in Zanchul and Boralus Harbor.

Alliance start at the docks and climb the pyramid, eventually fighting King Rastakhan. The Horde will defend the city, starting outside on the far north of the pyramid. They fight towards Rastakhan, which will be the middle of the raid for them. They then fight Alliance forces down towards harbor, ending with Alliance commanders and Lady Jaina Proudmoore on the high seas. During the raid you speak to an NPC to play from the other faction's perspective in the middle or final act.

Which race of the opposite faction the player becomes in the flashback is the same as in Mercenary Mode.[5]

Adventure Guide

For ages untold, Dazar'alor has stood at the center of the great and powerful Zandalari empire. Its guards have thwarted numerous attempts on King Rastakhan's life, and it has endured trials both ancient and new. But as war reaches the shores of Zuldazar, the Alliance embarks on a daring gambit to besiege the golden pyramid and sever the Zandalari's bond to the Horde.[6]

Getting there

The Alliance instance line is at [70.5, 35.3] in Boralus Harbor. The Horde instance line is at [38.8, 2.4] in Dazar'alor.

Solo walkthrough

Siege/Defense of Dazar'alor

From the southern end, run north, skipping the trash up to the boss arena. Defeat the trash in the room to bring Genn and Shaw fowrard, spawning the boss and starting a script event. Focus Ra'wani down once she is attackable.

Let the Azerite War Machine clear a path to the east, then follow the stairs up to the north and back to the west along the Grand Bazaar, skipping all the trash along the way except for the last pack. Head upstairs to the north to the Jadefire Masters encounter. At the top of the stairs, let the script event play out before Ma'ra and Anathos appear and talk. Focus Anathos first, then Ma'ra. Keep running upstairs and clear the last pack at the top of the gauntlet. Nothing special for Grong the Revenant.

Empire's Fall/Death's Bargain

Let Mekkatorque clear out the fliers, then run past the rest of the trash uphill to the north, then counterclockwise to the east. Run through the blasted-out hole in the wall to head downstairs to the Halls of Opulence. Nothing special for Opulence, just blow up the golem.

Head upstairs to the Conclave. All the trash can be skipped. Single-target bosses, as the active bosses will heal to full once one dies. Exit to the east, continuing to head upstairs and waiting for the elevator. Upstairs, engage the final pack to open the door to Rastakhan's room, then clear out the trash in his room to start the script event.

Focus Rastakhan once he becomes attackable. He'll pop an absorb bubble at 40%, but keep wailing on him until it goes away.

Might of the Alliance/Victory or Death

From Rastakhan's room, run counterclockwise west, south, and east outside. Hop on the gryphon to fly back to the ship, then speak with Tandred Proudmoore astern to set sail back to Boralus. Back at Boralus, speak with Ensign Roberts to swap factions and role-play the other side's perspective. Run downhill and clear out all the trash in the boss arena to stop Mekkatorque's fight with Gallywix.

It's possible to burst Mekkatorque down before he pops his damage shield. Let the script event play out to open the gate, then run downhill to the south to get to the end of the pier. All the trash except for the southernmost pack can be skipped. Hop on one of the pterrodaxes to fly out to a ship. SLOWLY damage the Kul Tiran (don't one shot it), then use the teleporter to get to the other side. Repeat the process, then teleport back to the pier. Interrupt or kill the boss before it gets off the Catastrophic Tides cast, which is still a guaranteed kill.

Let the script event play out (though the cutscene can be skipped), then head aboard the ship and speak with Captain Zadari to get to Jaina. Once the ship gets out there, the player will get teleported to a vessel with a bunch of Zandalari Ballista lit up. Ignore them. Focus Jaina, but don't pop [Bloodlust] or other effects. Should she advance to the second phase, run on the ice path off the ship to the southwest. Get close to all enemies and kill them. Jaina will be immune until they're all dead. Then get back to working on her.

Narrative

Opening

The sequence opens with the Golden Fleet that are in front of Dazar'alor. The Zandalari Commander is walking at the docks as the horn was blown.
Zandalari Sailor: Commander! Look!
The Zandalari Commander turns to see the Alliance navy approaching.
Zandalari Commander: Hahaha!
Zandalari Commander: Fish jumpin' right into our net!
The Zandalari Commander turns to command the Zandalari Sailors.
Zandalari Commander: Go, go!
The Zandalari head to the ship and prepare the Troll ballistae. The sequence cuts to the Proudmoore flagship as it continues to head to Dazar'alor. Tandred Proudmoore reports to Jaina.
Tandred Proudmoore: Those ballistae will be firing any second.
Jaina Proudmoore: Continue our approach, Captain.
Tandred Proudmoore: Aye, Lord Admiral.
Mathias Shaw comes in and looks at Jaina.
Mathias Shaw: Lady Proudmoore. The mission was a success. Out stealth agaents are clear of the area.
Jaina Proudmoore: Thank you, Spymaster.
Jaina Proudmoore then speaks to Gelbin Mekkatorque. Mathias Shaw turns and look at the High Tinker.
Jaina Proudmoore: High Tinker—are you ready?
Gelbin Mekkatorque pulls the lever revealing the red button. And the yellow bulb blinks red.
Gelbin Mekkatorque : I'll activate our surprise just as soon as we are in range.
The sequence shows the wide shot of the Alliance navy continuing forth. The Zandalari Commander smiles.
Zandalari Commander: Now.
The Zandalari fire the ballistae at the Alliance Navy.
Jaina Proudmoore: Steady...
The Ballistae's Fire power hit the oceans. Gelbin beings to ready his trap.
Tandred Proudmoore: INCOMING!
The Ballistae's Fire power hit the Alliance ship and nearly hit the Proudmoore flagship. Jaina and Tandred reacts to the hit.
Jaina Proudmoore: High Tinker!
Gelbin stays still and then the Bulb shifts green.
Gelbin Mekkatorque : Got it!
Suddenly, he was hit. Jaina is in horror.
Jaina Proudmoore: Gelbin...no.
Tandred Proudmoore: LOOK OUT!!
Jaina uses her magic to deflect the Ballista's attack. At the cabin, Gelbin reaches his arm up into the floor. Outside, the Ballistae attack continues on the Proudmoore flagship. Jaina is deflecting the ballista while Mathias Shaw pulls the crew member up the stairs. Gelbin recovered and heads to his machine.
The sequence intercuts between Jaina trying her best to block the attack and Gelbin getting his machine back. The machine is back up and running and the Bulb hits green. Gelbin pushes the red button and the Golden Fleet blew up. The Zandalari sailor was knocked by the explosion sending him to the ocean.
The Alliance Navy sail through the debris
Jaina Proudmoore: Full speed ahead!
Gelbin gears his goggles on as the gang stand ready while Jain puts her hood on.
Jaina Proudmoore: Alliance! Forward!

Defense of Dazar'alor (Horde)

Entering the city
Nathanos Blightcaller says: Alliance forces have come ashore in the harbor. They're spreading throughout Zuldazar like a plague.
Princess Talanji says: We must reach de pyramid before dey do! My father is defending it with only a handful of guards.
Rokhan says: We gonna be doin' everythin' we can, princess! Gonna start by clearin' dese Dark Irons outta da way!
After defeating Frida Ironbellows

A cutscene plays out:

King Rastakhan says: Bwonsamdi!
Bwonsamdi says: Oh my my my... Does da mighty Rastakhan need ol' Bwonsamdi's help yet again?
King Rastakhan says: Aid us... or you will be de loa of a ruined kingdom with no one to remember your name.
Bwonsamdi says: Hmph.
Bwonsamdi says: Rise, fallen ones!
Bwonsamdi says: Zandalar be ours... FOREVER!
Undead and ghosts rise up and march through the streets of the city.

Back in the Zocalo:

Princess Talanji says: De city surges with Bwonsamdi's power! My father would not invoke dis ritual unless de odds were dire.
Princess Talanji says: I must go to his side at once. Champions of de Horde, please... hurry!
Nathanos Blightcaller says: You heard her. Keep moving!
Through Dazar'alor after defeating Grong
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Halt! You will come no further!
Nathanos Blightcaller says: Proudmoore... Oh, I am going to enjoy seeing you fall!
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Why Blightcaller... I don't believe you've ever received a proper burial. I'd say you're long overdue.
Nathanos Blightcaller says: Champions! Find a way around her damned ice walls... or through them!
  • Lady Jaina Proudmoore yells: I will freeze you where you stand!
  • Lady Jaina Proudmoore yells: For the Alliance!
  • Lady Jaina Proudmoore yells: I hope you don't mind the cold!
  • Lady Jaina Proudmoore yells: This... ends... here!
Jaina casts Comet Storm and Frost Nova.

Siege of Dazar'alor (Alliance)

Master Mathias Shaw says: Excellent work! Our feint in Nazmir drew the bulk of the Horde's forces away from the city.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Secure the harbor and prepare to move forward, spymaster.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Remember, our objective is to destabilize the Zandalari and take out Horde targets. King Wrynn wants to avoid civilian casualties.
Gelbin Mekkatorque says: Time to deploy our simian friend. The Horde won't know what hit them!
Gelbin Mekkatorque says: Unleash the beast!
Ra'wani Kanae says: You trespass upon sacred ground, outsiders. You will not defile Zuldazar with your filth!
Master Mathias Shaw says: A troll paladin? Now I've seen it all. Protest all you want, but you appear to be outnumbered.
Ra'wani Kanae says: De Light of de loa is all de strength I need. Face me!
Master Mathias Shaw says: All forces advance! Establish a perimeter. I don't want any surprises.
Genn Greymane says: We have little time before the Horde return to the city. Keep moving!
Genn Greymane says: Vanguard, with me! Press forward!
King Rastakhan says: Soldiers, defend our sacred city! Halt de enemy advance! Zandalar forever!
Genn Greymane says: I'll hold the Zandalari back. Heroes, you deal with this pair of Horde thugs!
Anathos Firecaller says: Well, well, the Alliance's greatest heroes... stumbling their way into the heart of the troll empire. I fear we can let them proceed no further.
Ma'ra Grimfang says: On my homeworld, I leveled countless Lightbound foes. I have been eager to do the same to these rivals of the Horde.
Anathos Firecaller says: Then let us teach them a lesson, shall we?
Genn Greymane says: Be on guard, champions. I sense... a rising darkness.
Master Mathias Shaw says: It seems the Banshee Queen isn't the only one with ghouls in her arsenal.
Genn Greymane says: No surprise in her choice of allies. The Zandalari deserve their fate.
Master Mathias Shaw says: Rastakhan's magic has turned our own weapon against us!
Gelbin Mekkatorque says: He was a noble fellow who deserved better. Heroes, do what you have to, but... please, be merciful.
Genn Greymane says: Grah! We need these beasts knocked out of the air! Where is Mekkatorque with that new toy of his?
Gelbin Mekkatorque says: Did someone call for an air strike?
Master Mathias Shaw says: Our incursion point is up ahead. Clear a path to the waterfall!
Master Mathias Shaw says: You have the coordinates, High Tinker. Fire when ready.
Gelbin Mekkatorque says: Stand back, heroes! I'll get you inside the pyramid.

Empire's Fall (Alliance)

Trade Prince Gallywix yells: You... MONSTERS! How could you destroy something so glorious?! It's true what Sylvanas says... you Alliance goons ain't got no souls!
Master Mathias Shaw says: We're entering the heart of Dazar'alor. Expect fierce resistance from the Zandalari.
Master Mathias Shaw says: It would be wise to set some traps to cover our flank. Keep going--I'll catch up.
Master Mathias Shaw yells: The throne room lies ahead.
Jaina Proudmoore yells: We have struck a decisive blow against the Zandalari. Let us hope their king chooses to surrender and spare his people further harm.
Genn Greymane says: King Rastakhan of Zandalar... On behalf of the Alliance, and in the name of King Anduin Wrynn, I hereby request your surrender.
King Rastakhan says: You... an exile without a homeland... you dare invade dese sacred halls and demand dat I turn my kingdom over to you?
King Rastakhan says: De Zandalari built an empire dat would endure for over ten-thousand years... while your barbaric ancestors scuffled in de dirt.
King Rastakhan says: WE conquered this world. WE brought it glory. You... you are nothing. Merely de latest in a long line of savages seeking to undermine our greatness.
King Rastakhan says: No, I will not surrender. Because no matter what happens here today... Zandalar will stand long after your Alliance has crumbled to dust.
King Rastakhan says: But if you are so eager to meet Bwonsamdi... den step forward. De Loa of Death awaits!
King Rastakhan says: Zandalar forever!
Genn Greymane says: So be it. Heroes... you know what must be done.
King Rastakhan yells: You do not face me alone, invaders! You stand before de finest defenders of Zuldazar!
King Rastakhan yells: My loyal subjects! Show dese outsiders de price of their arrogance!
King Rastakhan yells: Bwonsamdi! De Alliance invaders have struck down our people! Aid me!
King Rastakhan yells: Such strength! Now you will fall!
King Rastakhan yells: My... daughter...
Genn Greymane yells: Rastakhan chose his fate when he sided with the Horde.
Master Mathias Shaw yells: We can savor our victory back in Boralus. It's time to get our people out of here.
Genn Greymane yells: Everyone! Head to the ships!

Might of the Alliance (Alliance)

Anduin Wrynn says: Jaina badly wounded... Mekkatorque on the brink of death... What went wrong, Genn?
Genn Greymane says: The attack on Zuldazar was a success, but the Horde caught up to us as we retreated.
Master Mathias Shaw says: We have a witness who survived the battle, my king.
Ensign Roberts says: The Grand Admiral fought bravely, as did the High Tinker. But the Horde attacked with such rage... such fury!
Anduin Wrynn says: Champions, speak to the survivor. I want details on what happened out there.

Ensign Roberts

I... I saw everything!

Gossip Stay calm, just tell us what you remember.

Ensign Roberts says: I'll do my best to tell you what happened. It started when they saw their king fall...
Ensign Roberts says: The Horde hoped to pin us between their pursuing champions and the forces holding the docks. But they didn't count on the High Tinker!
Ensign Roberts says: He gave us help from the skies while gnome forces aided us on the ground... until Gallywix showed up.
High Tinker Mekkatorque yells: You plan to stop me with that gaudy piece of junk you call a flight suit? Were you planning to sparkle me to death?
Trade Prince Gallywix yells: You think you're better than me? YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME?! Let's go, tinkerboy!
High Tinker Mekkatorque yells: Hah! Slap on all the gold and glitter you want. Your inventions are still cut-rate trash!
Ensign Roberts says: The High Tinker fought bravely. But in the end... it wasn't enough. Thank the tides he had one last trick up his sleeve to carry him to safety!
Trade Prince Gallywix yells: What the...? Okay, I wanna know two things... First, how could you let that pipsqueak get away? And second.... WHY DON'T I HAVE AN ESCAPE POD?
Nathanos Blightcaller yells: Enough! That's one Alliance hero down. But I want your blades soaked in Proudmoore blood. Move!
Ensign Roberts says: The 7th Legion fought bravely to get us out of there.
Master Mathias Shaw says: Hold this ground, 7th Legion! We need to get our ships away!
Nathanos Blightcaller says: Leaving so soon, Shaw? What a pity. I've got an arrow with your name carved into it.
Commander Broadside yells: Hold your ground! Give no quarter!
Master Mathias Shaw says: We'll cross paths again, Blightcaller. I'll see you dead or in chains before this war ends, I promise you.
Ensign Roberts says: The Horde troops were relentless... bloodthirsty. But our Kul Tiran forces weren't backing down!
Nathanos Blightcaller says: I need this blockade broken and these docks secured!
Brother Joseph says: You should've never challenged the might of Kul Tiras, Horde scum!
Sister Katherine says: We're not here to taunt them. Focus on the ritual! We must ensure all our people make it out.
Brother Joseph says: Oh, we will... Doesn't mean I can't enjoy myself while doing it!
Nathanos Blightcaller says: Put a stop to whatever ritual those Kul Tirans are attempting. And quell their blathering while you're at it!
Ensign Roberts says: That's when the troll princess returned... with blood in her eyes.
Rokhan says: Princess Talanji! Da Alliance be usin' their sea priest mojo against us!
Princess Talanji says: No! Dose butchers are getting away!
Princess Talanji says: De Alliance invaded our city and killed our king. De wounded need my aid.
Princess Talanji says: Captain, take dese Horde champions and pursue de murderers! Bring me de head of Jaina Proudmoore!
Captain Zadari says: It will be so, princess! Heroes, come aboard!

Captain Zadari

De daughter of de sea won't get away!

Gossip After them!

Kul Tiran Sailor says: Lord Admiral Proudmoore was as gallant as they come! She offered the Horde every chance to turn back.
Captain Zadari yells: All hands on deck! Time to make de daughter of de sea pay for trespassing in our waters!
Lady Jaina Proudmoore yells: Consider this your only warning. Turn your vessel back to port and look after your dead... or you will soon join them.
Captain Zadari yells: I have heard of you, Jaina Proudmoore. De little girl who betrayed her father and lost her brother to war. Failure is your family legacy.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore yells: If you know so much about me, captain, then you would have been wise to run while you still had the chance.
Captain Zadari yells: You will pay for your crimes! All hands, attack!
Lady Jaina Proudmoore yells: For the Alliance!
Captain Zadari yells: Kul Tirans on de starboard side!
Kul Tiran Sailor says: When it looked like the Horde might get the upper hand, the Lord Admiral turned the tables!
Captain Zadari yells: Ha! Horde vessels on de horizon! You have nowhere left to run, ice witch!
Lady Jaina Proudmoore yells: You really think I've been running, captain?
Captain Zadari yells: Impossible!
Lady Jaina Proudmoore yells: I lured you into open waters. Because out here, you have no hope of escape.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore yells: It's time we finish this.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore yells: I will freeze you where you stand!
Lady Jaina Proudmoore yells: No... it can't end like this!
Ensign Roberts says: And that's how it happened. Lady Proudmoore was the bravest hero I've ever seen!
Anduin Wrynn says: Thank you, soldier. We will see that the Lord Admiral's wounds are healed.
Anduin Wrynn says: Champions, thank you for all you've done this day. We cannot reward you enough for your service.
Anduin Wrynn says: No doubt the Horde will seek reprisal for their losses. We must make ready for what is to come.

Notes

  • This raid is unique in that it presents a completely different experience for each faction.
  • The raid was originally hinted at through datamining the map called 8.1 - ZuldazarRaid.
    • Its placeholder name as seen on the 8.1 PTR dungeon journal was 8.1 Raid. The zone itself was called The Siege of Zuldazar, which was the name it was first announced with in a developer liveblog. In a later PTR build, the zone was changed to The Burning of Zuldazar.[7] In a following developer Q&A, they stated that they may call it Battle of Dazar'alor,[2] which became the final name of the raid.
  • Horde players encounter Otoye in the Heart of the Empire to play from the Alliance perspective for the middle 3 bosses.
  • Alliance players speak to Tandred Proudmoore to play from the Horde perspective for the last 3 bosses.
