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
Dustwallow Marsh, Kalimdor
The lair is in a cave in the south of Dustwallow Marsh.
Onyxia
1. Onyxia
daughter of Deathwing- Phase 1: the tank turns her head away from the raid because of Flame Breath; don't stand behind her tail — Tail Sweep knocks you back.
- Phase 2 (65%): Onyxia takes off, hurls fireballs, and uses Deep Breath across the whole chamber — get out of the line. Whelps and Lair Guards pour out of the alcoves on the sides.
- Phase 3 (40%): she's back on the ground. Bellowing Roar fears everyone; lava erupts from cracks in the floor — don't stand on them.
Loot
| Mode | Item level | Per boss |
|---|---|---|
| 10 players | ilvl 232 | 3 Emblems of Triumph |
| 25 players | ilvl 245 | 3 Emblems of Triumph |
Rare drop — Reins of the Onyxian Drake, in both raid sizes.
Tips
Keep her sideways
Breath in front, tail behind. The raid stands at her sides.
Phase two — go fast
The faster you get her down to 40%, the fewer whelps and Deep Breaths you'll face.
