Blackfathom Deeps

Ashenvale, Kalimdor. Entrance at 13.8, 15.1.

This guide was written for the retail version of this dungeon, which changed its bosses and, in places, its layout. The boss list now matches WoW Forever; the route maps and any tactics kept from the old guide haven’t been checked against it yet.
