Sitting right in the heart of the Maw, the blackened corridors and chambers of the sanctum are full of traps, cages, and tools of torture. For one it feels far bigger and more menacing. The sanctum is a big step up compared to the previous raid Castle Nathria in multiple areas. Together, you must slay the Jailer’s most formidable servants in a desperate attempt to thwart the final stages of his plans. With the now combined forces of the covenants and Azeroth’s heroes, players enter the Sanctum of Domination. No content update would be complete without a new raid, and boy does this one deliver.

Hopefully, that will be the case in the future till then I’ll just have to keep making trips to the market. Now this dungeon has particularly spoiled me, making me wish more dungeons or content felt and played like this.

It showcases Blizzard’s ability to make some diverse, interesting, and fun content when they want to. Tazavesh shows a ton of creativity in both its design and gameplay. I hope that this continues into this patch and further ones down the line because so far it looks like we could be heading for something big. The lore surrounding this mysterious world has been one that’s enthralled me unlike any other for a while. Despite the slower pace so far, we have seen some reunions between old friends, family, and comrades only possible in this expansion. I believe some of the best parts of the story of the Shadowlands are yet to come. New characters appear and some surprises begin to unfold, and we finally start to see what the Jailer’s plans could be, which if some theories are to be believed, could change up the WoW universe in a major way. But after the intention setup, some great moments unfolds. You’ll first discover the new area Koritha with the help of the illusive Ve’nari, then have an encounter with the Legion’s Odyn and his Val’kyr involving the Eye of the Jailer. After the Battle of Ardenweald, the next few chapters mainly serve as a way to introduce and unlock the new content.

Is wow worth it
