Dastardly Duos Event Guide – Rewards, Bosses, and How to Play

Dastardly Duos is a six-week event that revolves around players fighting alone, with a group of friends, or with NPC companions, in an instanced pit against bosses from the past to earn a high score and unlock various rewards.

The event lasts from June 3 through July 15, 2025.

The event's main headquarters can be found at the Gates of Dornogal, as highlighted by the mask icon on the map.

There you will find three NPCs:

• Vinnie Sweets who offers quests for the event.
• Xyggie Marou who lets you queue up for Dastardly Duos.
• Wodin the Troll-Servant who sells the rewards you unlock from quests and other cosmetics tied to the event.

Likewise, you will find similar hubs in both faction cities, Stormwind and Orgrimmar.

To queue up for Dastardly Duos, talk to Xyggie Marou at any of the event areas.

You can earn the following achievements from Dastardly Duos:

• Dastardly Duos Weekly High Score: Gain new High Scores each week!
• Dastardly Duos Weekly Wins: Win Dastardly Duos matches each week!
• Boot Hill (Feat of Strength): Your Dastardly Duos group creates 30 tombstones in one match.

During the event, you can buy all rewards and other cosmetics from Wodin the Troll-Servant and cosmetics with Resonance Crystals. To buy the rewards from the vendor, you must first complete the time-gated weekly quests.

When you get teleported to the arena, you will be given a party of NPC companions. You can talk to the NPC to go in alone if you are up for the challenge. Keep in mind you can also queue up with a party of other players for the matches.

To your right side, you will find shelves with potions that grant you effects like healing or invisibility.

There are also tables of food you can interact with to receive different buffs.

For instance, Challenging Shrimpy Fish decreases your damage by 20%, increases damage taken by 2%, but grants 2x Kill and Survival Bonus, crucial for reaching a High Score at the end of your match.

When you are ready, talk to the Goblin NPC to start the match. A countdown will begin when you enter the Arena, signalizing the match start.

At the top of your screen you will find a 5-minute timer and your high score. You can add time to the timer by clicking cogwheels on the ground or via special items, e.g. Burner Clock, that you will find in the weekly chests and inside in the end-of-match chests.

Your Score will increase as you kill mobs. Many multipliers will further increase your score.

The first objective is to kill all trash mobs in the Arena.

When Cheery Bomb Cheers spawn, you will see a green circle around them. Make sure to kick them like the bombs during The Underpin so that mobs are killed in the green circles for score multipliers.

During the next stage, bosses will spawn. You will face multiple bosses simultaneously in two waves. Here is a list of all the bosses you will fight in the pit:

• Baron Silverlaine (Shadowfang Keep);
• Broggok (Blood Furnace);
• Chrono-Lord Epoch (Culling of Stratholme);
• Foe Reaper 5000 (The Deadmines);
• Glubtok (The Deadmines);
• Hydromancer Thespia (Steamvault);
• Lord Walden (Shadowfang Keep);
• Mekgineer Steamrigger (The Steamvault);
• Rattlegore (Scholomance);
• Watchkeeper Gargolmar (Hellfire Ramparts).

During the first week of the event, only 4 bosses will be available to fight and each week thereafter additional bosses will be added up to a total of 10 bosses.

You will successfully complete a match when you kill all the bosses within the timer. You will also see your Total Score on the screen when the match ends.

Moreover, a chest will spawn granting you Item Level 632 Veteran 4/8 gear and various consumables you can use in future Dastardly Duos matches.

When you or your team members die during a match, a goblin will spawn that will roam the area. When you stand in the blue circle surrounding it, you will get zapped. A tomb will spawn for every death. Boot Hill is a Feat of Strength you can get for spawning 30 tombs in a single match!
