Operation: Mechagon is a megadungeon located in Mechagon Island. The goal of the dungeon is to be similar to Return to Karazhan, a long and dangerous dungeon that is split into two parts, it possesses 8 bosses, the first 4 bosses are located outside on the island with the second half located inside within Mechagon City. It was originally only available for Mythic difficulty but would be split into two dungeons with patch 8.3.0 for Heroic difficulty via the Group Finder and Mythic+. The dungeon entrance remains as a way to experience the entire megadungeon.
The final boss is King Mechagon. The entrance of the dungeon is located in Rustbolt.
Adventure Guide
Prince Erazmin leads a group of unlikely allies on a desperate mission into the heart of Mechagon. In a race against time, they must overcome King Mechagon's army of mechanized monstrosities and defeat the mad genius before his doomsday device purges all organic life from Azeroth.
History
After years of absence, King Mechagon decided that the time had come to remove the Curse of Flesh from all titan creations. He was busy creating the Mechoriginator, a machine he had been perfecting in order to achieve his goal. Not wanting to see his father's plan come to fruition, Prince Erazmin began to secretly plan a revolt against him. His plans were unfortunately discovered when the gnome, Kervo Cogpipe, told the king of his betrayal. With no other choice, Prince Erazmin fled to Rustbolt with all those who supported him.[1]
After days of preparation, the time had come to launch the assault. Erazmin wanted to get deep in the city and sent his allies to retrieve a remote from the flying HK-8 Aerial Oppression Unit. In order to retrieve the remote, the aerial unit needed its protection nodes removed to become vulnerable. The allies defeated Trixie Tazer, Naeno Megacrash, Gunker, and King Gobbamak, which allowed Erazmin to disable the nodes.
Once the HK-8 Aerial Oppression Unit returned to base for a recharge, the allies attacked and destroyed it, allowing them entrance into the city.
Once inside, the champions ended up in the Robodrome, where they were made to participate in a death match against the Tussle Tonks. Victorious, they ventured deeper into the city until they found themselves in The Under Junk, where they fought against K.U.-J.0.. Moving forward, they entered a heavily defended area where Head Machinist Sparkflux placed his mechanized defenses. Once he was defeated, the group finally faced off against King Mechagon at The High Tinkertory, where the mechagnome king was finally put down.

Encounters
- Junkyard
King Gobbamak - Obsessed with hoarding dangerous technology found amongst the scrap, King Gobbamak sits upon a pile of doomsday weapons that he lacks the intelligence to operate or understand.
Gunker - After years of coalescing into a concentrated cesspool, Mechagon's toxic waste has gained malevolent sentience. With the sanitation systems disabled, Gunker is free to ooze across all of Azeroth.
Trixie & Naeno - Trixie and Naeno, two of Bondo's top lieutenants, have a turbulent relationship. While Trixie prides herself on ruthless efficiency, Naeno is the embodiment of chaos while behind the wheel. The only thing they have in common is their penchant for senseless violence, which they enjoy dispensing on anyone foolish enough to wander into their territory.
HK-8 Aerial Oppression Unit - Predator of the skies, the HK-8 Aerial Oppression Unit soars over the yard executing its prime directive, disintegrating all trespassers. With impenetrable armor and a lethal host of weapons, it annihilates all who are caught in its shadow.
- Workshop
Tussle Tonks - Mechagon's premier mechgineers test their mettle (and metal) by building customized combat robots. While these tonks typically battle each other for glory, they combine their efforts to repel foolhardy organic intruders who dare venture into Mechagon.
K.U.-J.0. - As the respository for the city's refuse, the Under Junk is a prime target for gnomes from Bondo's gang who intend to steal valuable mechanical components. While Trash Mistress Wendy Cogsworth ceaselessly sorts the city's junk, her loyal guard dog, K.U.-J.0., keeps out unwelcome intruders--mechagnomes and adventurers alike.- Machinist's Garden - Beautiful and dangerous, Head Machinist Sparkflux's metallic gardens are designed for both recreation and retribution. With a flick of a switch, the idyllic scenery transforms into a death trap from which no interloper can escape.
King Mechagon - As maniacal as he is brilliant, King Mechagon despises all organic life. With his mechoriginator primed and ready, nothing stands in the way of his scheme to purge the curse of flesh from Azeroth and mechanize the entire world.
Hard mode
Similar to the hard mode from some raid boss encounters like in Ulduar, Operation: Mechagon includes its own hard mode difficulty. Completing the hard mode difficulty of the dungeon is required for the 
[Keep DPS-ing and Nobody Explodes] achievement. 
[Hertz Locker] is another possible achievement during the run as long as no player part of the group dies.
To activate hard mode for the dungeon, there are multiple steps a group must follow to ensure hard mode is enabled for most encounters.
- Upon entering the dungeon, normally the group would go to an encounter that doesn't have the HK-8 Aerial Oppression Unit above it. For hard mode, the group will need to go to each encounter with the HK-8 Aerial Oppression Unit above it. In this case, upon entering the dungeon and the HK-8 Aerial Oppression Unit is at Gunker, the group would need to engage with that encounter first then go to the next encounter that the oppression unit starts hovering over, whether it is King Gobbamak or Trixie & Naeno. After defeating the second encounter, the oppression unit will be over the final encounter.
- With each encounter, the group will need to deal with the normal encounter mechanics in addition to the occasional spawn of the Walkie Shockie X1 robots from the oppression unit.
- After defeating each encounter, the oppression unit will fly to the Junkwatt Depot. Under it is usually a Tank Buster MK1, but if each of the previous encounters was defeated with the oppression unit above, the Tank Buster MK2 will be present instead. The Walkie Shockie X1 robots from the other encounters will instead spawn as Walkie Shockie X2 during this encounter.
- After defeating the HK-8 Aerial Oppression Unit, clear up until the K.U.-J.0. encounter.
- After reaching K.U.-J.0., find and use a pile of robo-waste on the ground prior to engaging with the boss. This will enable the hard mode mechanics of the boss which only consists of
Noxious Stench. - Clear up to the final boss, King Mechagon. There will be a small red button that must be used before starting the encounter.
- Clicking the button will spawn a robot that will have its energy bar slowly deplete during the fight from 100 to 0. Upon reaching 0, the party will instantly wipe.
- There are 4 buttons around the room that will become active when the robot reaches 35 energy, roughly every 45 seconds. These panels will all display a color and icon in a random order before flashing a red skull and activate an input sequence just before the final 10 energy counts down. The group must have 4 of the members split off to these 4 buttons just before the input sequence and use them in the correct order they were lit in order to replenish the robot's energy back to 100 and start this whole process again until King Mechagon is defeated.
Narrative
- Entering the instance
- Prince Erazmin says: To prevent my father from eradicating all organic life, we need to gain entry into his subterranean fortress city.
- Prince Erazmin says: Luckily, the flying mechanical terror that patrols this region has a control module that can open the gates.
- Prince Erazmin says: Assaulting it head-on would be ill-advised, but disabling its remote power nodes should render it vulnerable.
- Prince Erazmin says: The nodes are scattered throughout the junkyard. I've calibrated my sensors to detect them when you're in proximity.
- Gazlowe says: So we're going to root around through the garbage, looking for nodes that may not even be there?!
- Gazlowe says: All while avoiding a flying death machine, so that we can break into a fortress that has even MORE death machines?!
- Prince Erazmin says: Your assessment is accurate.
- Approaching the Toxic Monstrosity
- Prince Erazmin says: A power node must be located within that slime.
- Prince Erazmin says: You will have to sanitize the area in order to access it.
- Approaching the Scrapbone Den
- Prince Erazmin says: I'm detecting a power node within that trogg den.
- Prince Erazmin says: I doubt they will relinquish it willingly.

- Prince Erazmin says: There appears to be a power node within the vicinity of the scrapyard.
- Prince Erazmin says: You will need to employ violence.

- Prince Erazmin says: Proceed with caution. Mechagon's war machine appears to be changing course.
- First three bosses defeated
- Prince Erazmin says: With that creature neutralized, I can deactivate the node.
- Prince Erazmin says: Exemplary work! With the power nodes inert, the machine will return to its hub to recharge.
- Prince Erazmin says: Now is our chance to disable it and acquire the access code.
- Gila Crosswires says: By shutting down the power grid, Tinkmaster Overspark has turned the hunter into the hunted.

- Tinkmaster Overspark says: My readers deserve to know that I'm more than just my incredible brain!
- After defeating HK-8 Aerial Oppression Unit
- Prince Erazmin says: In order to stop my father, we need to infiltrate the city itself. And that means passing through... the Robodrome.

- Deuce Mecha-Buffer yells: Now this is a statistical anomaly! Our visitors are still alive!
- Deuce Mecha-Buffer yells: Time to introduce them to the legends of the Tussle Tonks arena!

- Deuce Mecha-Buffer yells: Let's get mobilized for mayhem!
- Prince Erazmin says: The city's entrance is located just past this arena.
- Prince Erazmin says: You must hold your ground until we can clear a path to it.
- Gazlowe says: No sweat, pal. I'm putting twenty large on Gnomercy!
- Gila Crosswires says: But... if they win, won't we be dead?
- Gazlowe says: If I can't bet on a sure thing, then I ain't really living!

- Head Machinist Sparkflux says: Rest assured, these organisms will be expunged from our metropolis.
- Prince Erazmin says: Do not allow these bots to detect you.
- Prince Erazmin says: Remaining within the steam will shield you from their sensors.
- After the Machinist's Garden
- Prince Erazmin says: We can commandeer that transport to access Mechagon's tower!
- King Mechagon says: So my misguided son returns. I'm impressed you made it this far.
- Prince Erazmin says: You are no longer my father. Just a malfunctioning machine that must be shut down.
- King Mechagon says: Poor child. If only you could accept the truth.
- King Mechagon says: The curse of flesh has run rampant across Azeroth, and I will replace it with mechanical purity.
- After Mechagon's death
- Prince Erazmin says: The mechoriginator has been destroyed... and so has my father.
- Prince Erazmin says: You have my gratitude, heroes. Know that King Mechagon's vision of the world is not one my people share.
- Prince Erazmin says: We must now focus on rebuilding. But if you ever require our assistance, you need only request it.
- Gazlowe says: Huh, this partnership wasn't half bad. Reminds me how profitable working with you Alliance mooks can be.
- Gila Crosswires says: Thanks to Tinkmaster Overspark's leadership, the threat of world annihilation was averted.
- Tinkmaster Overspark says: Oh! Don't forget to mention my technical prowess in dismantling those mechanical monstrosities!
- Gila Crosswires says: Of course, sir!
