Manaforge Omega is the third and final raid of The War Within, added in patch 11.2.0 as part of The War Within Season 3. It is located on K'aresh at Shadow Point in the northwestern corner of the zone.
Getting there and entry requirements
In the second quest of the Ghosts of K'aresh campaign, players unlock a Spatial Rift portal to Tazavesh, the Veiled Market at [40.3, 22.8] in the Foundation Hall of Dornogal (near the portal to Stormwind and teleporter to the top of the building). The rift drops players off at [62.1, 92.9] at the south end of Tazavesh, just in front of the return portal back to Dornogal.
From Tazavesh, fly or take the flight path to the northwest part of the zone at [42, 21] to reach Shadow Point, which has the summoning stone and instance line.
To actually enter the raid, players must have acquired their [Reshii Wraps] from the Ghosts of K'aresh campaign. The wraps are required for several encounters.
Opening dates
To queue for Raid Finder wings, an average item level of 651 (Explorer 4) is required.

Adventure Guide
Manaforge Omega, built to harness arcane power from the wastes of K'aresh, now hums with a sinister radiance. Within it, Nexus-King Salhadaar attempts to reawaken Dimensius, the All-Devouring, in a bid for ultimate power. The champions of Azeroth must disrupt Manaforge Omega's operations or else risk a reborn Dimensius feasting on reality itself.
Quests and story mode

Encounters
There are eight boss encounters, spread across three Raid Finder wings. The Soul Hunters are an optional boss encounter, the first since Ulduar.
Might of the Shadowguard
- Plexus Sentinel
- Patrolling the colossal machinery of Manaforge Omega, the Plexus Sentinel ensures that energy from the shattered world of K'aresh is cleanly filtered into the manaforge's central chamber. As the first line of defense, all incoming energy must be sterilized. All pollutants must be purged.
- Loom'ithar
- Careful genetic modification has engendered in this beast an exquisitely-rare sensitivity to magical energies. Purpose-bred for the ability to infuse arcane energy into its prodigious silk weaving, it creates "living silk"--perfect for the Soulbinder to use in binding Shadowguards.
- Soulbinder Naazindhri
- Without Soulbinder Naazindhri, the immense army of the Shadowguard would not exist. Coaxing the souls of ethereals out of the Twisting Nether, the Soulbinder binds them in living silk and in purpose to serve the Shadowguard. While using the Shadowguard to defend herself, she also considers them her children. Slaying them will only focus her ire.
Monsters of the Sands
- Forgeweaver Araz
- Using powerful sigils and technospells, Forgeweaver Araz controls the flow of energy from the forge into Dimensius, feeding the void lord to bring him into our plane. An ardent follower of the All-Devouring, he strives to see his work through--at all costs.
- The Soul Hunters
- Adarus, now a demon hunter brimming with barely-contained abyssal power, seeks to devour the void energy surrounding Manaforge Omega. His deadly allies, Ilyssa Darksorrow and Velaryn Bloodwrath, have joined Adarus in pursuit of larger prey. Together, they will destroy all who oppose them, leaving nothing but chaos in their wake.
- Fractillus
- An elemental born of the crags and dunes surrounding the Manaforge, Fractillus guards his domain by harnessing the power of the biting sands and hardened glass of the inhospitable wastes.
Heart of Darkness
- Nexus-King Salhadaar
- Once the ruler of K'aresh and sworn to defeat Dimensius, Nexus-King Salhadaar reveals that he formed a pact with the very being that shattered his homeworld. Atop his Royal Voidwing, Salhadaar commands the Shadowguard to ensure the return of his master, Dimensius.
- Dimensius, the All-Devouring
- Deep within Manaforge Omega, Dimensius--the All-Devouring and destroyer of K'aresh--is slowly waking as his devoted ethereal followers use the Dark Heart to give him sustenance. If they succeed, they will unleash a being of unfathomable power that could destroy the very fabric of reality.

Renown track
The raid is associated with a renown track, the Manaforge Vandals, that adds quality-of-life features to the raid in the vein of the Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club from Liberation of Undermine.
Standing with the faction is gained exclusively in Manaforge Omega by defeating bosses and lieutenants. During progression, there is a global increasing renown cap of one per week, with catch-up mechanics so players who are behind will quickly catch up to the current renown cap.
