WoW Blog/The Nexus

This article is a copy of "Timewalking Highlight: The Nexus", an official blog by Blizzard Entertainment. It's about the Nexus dungeon that were made available for Timewalking.

In World of Warcraft Patch 6.2, we introduced a new series of seven different weekend Bonus Events, two of which feature Timewalking Dungeons—one in Outland dungeons for characters level 71 and higher, and another in Northrend dungeons for level 81 and higher. When you Timewalk these dungeons, your character's power and gear will be scaled down to a fraction of what they normally are, and as you may have never ventured into some (or any) of these dangerous places, it might be a good idea to prepare yourself now.

In order to reestablish his dominance over magic, the blue Dragon Aspect, Malygos, has launched a ruthless campaign to sever the link between mortals and the arcane energies coursing through Azeroth. To this end, his blue dragonflight is redirecting the ley lines of the world to the Nexus, Malygos' towering lair.

In response to the blue dragons' offensive, the Kirin Tor, the elite magi of Dalaran, have allied themselves with the red dragonflight, who are charged with the preservation of life. Their combined forces are subverting the blue Aspect's offensive, but time is running out. The only question that remains now is... can Malygos be stopped before his crusade reaches its cataclysmic finale?

• Get out of Commander's whirlwind attack, or die.
• The Telestra fight is all about focusing fire. Communicate!
• Omorok's spikes are dangerous. Stepping away from them is paramount.
• Keristrasza will kill you if you don't keep moving. Jump for warmth.

If you haven't earned these achievements already, completing this dungeon will award Heroic: The Nexus and The Nexus.

If your group is superb and wants to go for it, you can also earn:

• Chaos Theory
• Intense Cold
• Split Personality

Timewalking dungeons have come to WoW! During the Wrath of the Lich King Timewalking weekend, keep an eye out for the weekend-only quest "A Frozen Path Through Time", which rewards a Seal of Inevitable Fate when you complete five Wrath of the Lich King Timewalking dungeons.
