Overview
Inside Blackmaw Hold
Spreading corruption has consumed the furbolg city of Blackmaw Hold, leaving the tribe’s tragedy at the center of its story. With a difficulty of about 8/10, this is a demanding run. Give the group room to work through problems rather than expecting a quick stop between other activities.
The tunnels appear to lead toward the Barrow Deeps, suggesting a possible path beneath the forest. Older, darker forces may lie beyond the stronghold, but that connection does not establish a route onward. Bosses and tactics will be added when Blizzard reveals them.
Level 55–60 is the range the dungeon is tuned for, not a minimum entry level. Blizzard announced this range for Forever.
