Blackrock Depths Detention Block
The Detention Block half of Blackrock Depths starts as soon as you enter the dungeon. The bosses can be defeated in a various number of orders depending on your groups preference. Below you will find our guide covering all of the challenges awaiting you in this dungeon:
