A new hotfix update for World of Warcraft is now available and it kicks off Shadowlands Season 2 with a new raid, new veiled market mega-dungeon, and more.
Sanctum of Domination
Zovaal, otherwise known as “The Jailer”, has been trapped in the Maw for eons now. This gave him a lot of time to prepare for an assault.
To prevent the Jailer’s endless armies from wreaking havoc, Bolvar mounts an attack into the heart of Torghast where Zovaal resides. It won’t be an easy task, though, as the Jailer is known to be at his strongest within the confines of the dungeon.
Players who are brave enough to join Bolvar and his allies can now enter the Sanctum of Domination on Normal and Heroic difficulties.
The raid will not be easy, so be prepared for what’s to come.
Tazavesh, the Veiled Market
Another dungeon that players can go to is Tazavesh, the Veiled Market. It is an 8-boss Mythic difficulty dungeon set in the bazaar of mysterious brokers.
Those who venture into the dungeon will come across some powerful enemies, including the infinite pirate dragon, four-armed broker guards, and dastardly assassins.
To enter, players must first complete a series of quests starting with the Innkeeper, Host Ta’rela, located in the Idyllia section of Oribos. After finishing the quest chain, Ta’rela will accompany you to the dangerous Veiled Market.
Aside from the two dungeons, players can expect a ton of bug fixes and improvements. Here are just some of the highlights:
