The Obsidian Sanctum

Sartharion and three twilight drakes: leave the drakes alive to get hard mode, better loot and drake mounts.

Advanced2 min readUpdated 25.09.2026

Raid Overview

Beneath Wyrmrest Temple, black dragons guard a clutch of twilight eggs. There is only one boss, Sartharion, but he is surrounded by three twilight drakes. You can kill them before the fight or leave them alive — that's “hard mode” with better loot.

Partial group? No problem
Raids on Valor scale to the number of players: you can go in with a partial group — enemy health and damage will be reduced. Short on people? A 10-player raid can take up to 6 companion bots, a 25-player raid up to 17.

How to Get There

  1. Wyrmrest Temple

    The temple stands in the center of Dragonblight. Go down to the lowest level, into the Chamber of the Aspects.

  2. The black portal

    The Obsidian Sanctum is the portal with black flames. Next to it are the portals to the Ruby Sanctum and Mogu'shan Vaults.

Bosses

1. Sartharion

the Onyx Guardian
  • Flame Tsunami — a wave of lava sweeps across the room. Run to the safe side or jump through a gap in the wave.
  • Flame Breath — the tank keeps the dragon's head pointed away from the raid. Lava Blazes — kill them while there are only a few.
  • Enrages at 10% health.

2. Tenebron, Shadron, Vesperon

twilight drakes
  • Each drake left alive flies in during the fight and empowers Sartharion.
  • Tenebron lays eggs in the Twilight realm; Shadron and Vesperon summon acolytes — they are killed in the Twilight realm by going through portals.
  • The more drakes are alive when the fight starts, the harder it is and the better the loot.

Sartharion with all three drakes alive — “3 drakes”: Reins of the Black Drake in 10-player and Reins of the Twilight Drake in 25-player.

Tips

Start without the drakes

Kill all three first — that's normal Sartharion. Then start leaving them alive one at a time.

Watch the waves

Flame Tsunami is the main cause of death. Agree on which way the raid runs.
