The Six Statues and Atal'alarion

Go down to the Pit of Refuse. Click the six statues in this order:

  1. South
  2. North
  3. Southwest
  4. Southeast
  5. Northwest
  6. Northeast

Done right, Atal'alarion appears in the middle. Sweeping Slam knocks back everyone in front and Ground Tremor shakes everyone nearby, so only the tank should stand at the front. Secret of the Circle is turned in at the Idol of Hakkar in the center, and Atal'alarion drops the Putrid Vine for the Druid quest A Better Ingredient.

The Six Troll Guardians

Each ledge around the Pit of Sacrifice holds one guardian: Gasher, Loro, Hukku, Zolo, Mijan and Zul'Lor. All six must die before Jammal'an's barrier drops. They also drop the Voodoo Feathers used by the Paladin, Shaman, Warlock and Warrior class quests.

Jammal'an the Prophet and Ogom the Wretched

You fight them together in the Lair of the Chosen. Hex of Jammal'an turns one player against the group, he drops Earthgrab Totem and heals with Healing Wave, so interrupt it. Step out of Flamestrike and kill Jammal'an first.

Dreamscythe and Weaver

These two green dragons wait by the Pit of Sacrifice after Jammal'an. Acid Breath hits everyone in front, so the tank turns the head away and resets position after each Wing Flap knockback. Pull them away from other dragonkin.

Avatar of Hakkar

Use the Egg of Hakkar in the Sanctum of the Fallen God and trolls pour in. Put out the four flames around the sanctum one by one, using the Hakkari Blood from the Hakkari Bloodkeepers, and the Avatar appears. He mind-controls a player with Cause Insanity and casts Curse of Tongues and Shadow Word: Pain. Control the charmed player and remove the curse. WOWF.IO recommends bringing crowd control and a decurse.

Morphaz and Hazzas

Two green dragons guard the passage to the Chamber of the Dreamer. Their Acid Breath and Wing Flap work as with the earlier pair, so the tank faces them away. Morphaz is also the target of the Hunter, Mage, Priest and Rogue class quests.

Shade of Eranikus

He waits in the Chamber of the Dreamer. Deep Slumber puts one player to sleep for 15 seconds, and they take no damage while asleep. War Stomp stuns everyone in melee and Thrash adds extra hits. When the tank is asleep, another melee player holds him, and ranged stand to the side away from Acid Breath. He drops the Essence of Eranikus, which starts a quest completed at the Essence Font in his lair.

Sunken Temple Loot and Drop Rates

Kami Labs lists these rates. An asterisk marks items Kami added from its October 9 beta survey. Kami marks each boss as measured on the beta or outside it, and says its four drakes used Classic or seasonal data because the beta did not have enough.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: Kami Labs: Sunken Temple, The bosses, in order; checked Nov 8, 2026.

ForeverChanges adds Classic chances for sources Kami does not list: Ogom the Wretched's Eater of the Dead, Blade of the Wretched and Fist of the Damned at about 30% each; Spawn of Hakkar's Slitherscale Boots 47% and Wingveil Cloak 24%; and the balcony minibosses' Atal'ai armor pieces.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: ForeverChanges: Sunken Temple, Bosses and loot; checked Nov 8, 2026.

What Changed in Forever

Kami Labs marks Sunken Temple as changed, because Classic allowed up to 10 players as a raid group and Forever caps entry at five.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: Kami Labs: Sunken Temple, What changed from Classic; checked Nov 8, 2026. The client adds eight encounter rows under difficulty ID 0 that the Classic Era build does not have. Kami also shows a separate "Normal, 20 players" boss list.

Item stats and boss numbers are not settled. Those live on the server, and the sites we checked still show Classic values for some of them. The dungeon index compares Sunken Temple with its neighbors, and our RestedXP Forever guide and Zygor vs RestedXP comparison cover the questing between runs.
