Overview
Inside Alcaz Prison
The Defias Brotherhood is rumored to have held high-ranking nobles here for ransom, and the rumor once even named King Varian Wrynn. Blizzard says the Defias and the naga inside are now in some sort of fight with each other, which makes it a good moment to move in. Their screenshot shows naga in a stone corridor under a dark timber ceiling, with more of them in a lit hall behind.
Only one boss is known by name. The achievement list of the beta client counts kills of Blazeroar, and a Blazeroar kill is the one that counts for Alcaz Prison in the Master Spelunker achievement, which makes Blazeroar the final boss. The other bosses, their abilities and the loot are not out yet.
Level 48–53 is the range the dungeon is tuned for, not a minimum entry level. Blizzard announced this range for Forever.
Beta status
Alcaz Prison in the WoW Forever beta
Not part of the betaConfirmedChecked November 6, 2026
Alcaz Prison was not part of the WoW Forever beta. The beta ran through October 23 and stopped at level 30, and the prison was missing from the open dungeons in Blizzard's beta notes of September 24 and October 1. It has been open since the launch on November 4, together with the other new dungeons. Blizzard's overview of the new dungeons of October 20 announces it for levels 48–53 on Alcaz Island in Dustwallow Marsh, says its doors finally open and puts the Defias Brotherhood and the naga in conflict inside. We add the portal, the bosses, the quests and the loot in the first days after the launch.
Forever vs Classic
What changed in Alcaz Prison for WoW Forever
What is different from the Classic version you may know. Everything else works as it did in Classic.
You can finally go insideAnnounced
In Classic you could walk around Alcaz Island, but the prison stayed shut. In Forever it is a dungeon.
A new prison on the islandBeta data
The small Classic prison hut and its three little cells at the north end of the island path are gone. In their place stands a new, much larger stone building at about 75.0, 14.7. It is the only new building on the island, so the entrance is most likely there.

Alcaz Prison is on Alcaz Island, off the north-east coast of Dustwallow Marsh. The new prison building stands at the north end of the island path at about 75.0, 14.7. The game files of the beta have no portal for it, so take that spot as the place to look, not as a known entrance.

Before you go
Before you go
- Plan for Defias and nagaBlizzard named both as the enemies inside. Both are humanoids, so Polymorph, Sap and other humanoid crowd control should have targets.
- Discover your flight path earlyTheramore and Brackenwall Village only work once you have visited them. Pick yours up while you quest in Dustwallow Marsh.
- Restock before the swimRepair and buy food, drink and reagents at your flight path town.
- Some sites already list five Alcaz bosses with health values and a loot table. None of that comes from Blizzard or the game, which name only one boss, Blazeroar.
- Do not count on the Defias and the naga fighting each other to make your pulls easier. Nobody saw in the beta how that fight plays out inside.
