The third and final raid of World of Warcraft: Midnight’s first season is set to go live March 31, but that didn’t stop a group of clever players from trying and technically succeeding to kill its ultimate boss early. Spoilers for Midnight’s story ahead.
The March on Quel’Danas raid sees players looking to take down the corrupted dark nauru L’ura, who after the events of the Voidspire raid, has been used by Xal’atath to transform the Sunwell into the ominous sounding Darkwell.
Since the isle of Quel’Danas and the new Darkwell aren’t exclusively instanced (they are simply part of the map), players who go to investigate the big shadowy laser beam in the sky can, in theory, see L’ura hovering above the corrupted Sunwell. I say in theory, because a debuff called Overwhelming Oblivion surrounding the Darkwell is intended to make sure players don’t ever get close, dealing 45% of a player’s total HP per second.
