- MOTHER says: Protocol requires localized sanitation prior to anchor deployment.

- Magni Bronzebeard says: Once ye have 'em all set, we'll take the fight tae N'Zoth!
- MOTHER says: Anchor point detected within temple interior.

- Queen Azshara says: Mind your tone, whelpling. A queen keeps her promises. Listen closely, as I will only say this once.
- Queen Azshara says: For all his bluster, N'Zoth was ever the weakest of his kin. One vestige of their power yet remains that can be turned against him.
- Queen Azshara says: I would have driven this blade into his foul heart myself... had you not disrupted my plans.
- Queen Azshara says: No matter. Xal'atath is yours, mortals. Strike true. Should your first blow fail, you will not survive to attempt another.
- Queen Azshara says: Now go and do what you will. I tire of intermediaries and heralds. The true throne of power beckons, and I intend to claim it.

- Magni Bronzebeard says: Ra-den was a keeper of Azeroth. A great hero... but he lost hope.
- Magni Bronzebeard says: N'Zoth twisted his despair, and that corruption festered within him.
- Magni Bronzebeard says: Take a lesson from this, champions. Do not let N'Zoth wield yer fears against ye.

- MOTHER says: Alert: New anchor location detected within aperture.

- MOTHER says: Warning: Proximity to target required for ensured accuracy. Insufficient power for subsequent activations.

- The Waking Dream
Wrathion
No more barriers stand between us and N'Zoth. Are you ready to finish this?
I'm ready.
- Wrathion says: Leave this part to me. After all, dramatic entrances are my specialty.
- A cutscene plays
- N'Zoth yells: Insolent whelpling! You desecrate that which you were bred to serve!
- Wrathion yells: Angry, are we? And after I tried so hard to impress you with my dagger handiwork.
- N'Zoth yells: RRRRRAAAAAGGGHHHHH!
- MOTHER says: Warning: Corruption levels exceeding measurable parameters. Recalculating...
- Wrathion says: That does not sound particularly encouraging, MOTHER.
- N'Zoth yells: You will break, like your father before you!
- Wrathion says: N'Zoth's rage seems fixated upon me, champions. Perhaps you can turn that to our advantage.
- N'Zoth yells: Sanity is forfeit!
- Wrathion yells: N'Zoth is restoring his flesh, champions! Do not relent!
- N'Zoth yells: Your defiance will be thwarted! My strength is unending!
- Wrathion yells: Champions, N'Zoth is luring us into the core of his mind!
- Wrathion yells: I dare not enter that foul place, lest I lose myself to his madness. Strike him down!
- N'Zoth yells: Rage is fleeting. But the mind is eternal.
- N'Zoth the Corruptor whispers: Every war waged... every trial overcome... led you here. To me.
- N'Zoth the Corruptor whispers: My vision shall be made real. Complete the circle. Open the way.
- Wrathion says: For an Old God who claims to see everything, you are blind to the threat before you.
- N'Zoth the Corruptor yells: Your minds remain closed. Come, mortals... glimpse the infinite truths.
- Two cutscenes
Magni Bronzebeard
It worked! Ye were the final anchor that let us turn the Forge's power against N'Zoth. Thanks tae that Heart ye wear, Ny'alotha's threat is gone fer good.
Celebration will have tae wait, though. The Old God's forces hit the Chamber hard, and we'd best get repairs underway. Tae think what woulda happened if he'd captured it...
Ye saved our world from certain doom, <name>. Yer a true champion o' Azeroth!
MOTHER
Corruption levels subsiding. Eradication of Old God presence confirmed.
Trivia
- The Waking City has multiple similarities to the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj. Aside from Ny'alotha and Ahn'Qiraj having similar architecture, both raids also feature anubisath trash mobs that reflect certain magic types (Anubisath Sentinels/Anubisath Sentinels), an insectoid prophet who creates copies of himself (the Prophet Skeram/the Prophet Skitra), a council fight against the dual leaders of an insectoid race (Twin Emperors/the Hivemind), and a final battle against an Old God (C'Thun/N'Zoth).
- While this raid was originally announced as "Ny'alotha, the Waking City",[2] it was initially called only Ny'alotha in early PTR builds.
- On the patch 8.3 PTR, the raid's Adventure Guide entry originally read: Ny'alotha, the sleeping city, has awakened. For the first time in millennia, N'Zoth sits on his throne within the Black Empire. His armies flood from their dark halls, once again wreaking havoc on Azeroth. As the world shudders from these invasions, a desperate plan is hatched. Champions from the Horde and Alliance are gathered to face this ancient enemy within his own realm for one final confrontation that will decide the fate of the universe.
Patch changes
