The Venomous Abyss
Guided by the dark whispers of Malacrass, Zul’jan has freed the forgotten broods of Ula’tek from their prison. As the monster’s power grows, Zul’jarra calls upon the Champions of Azeroth to descend into the Vaults of Atal’Utek to stop her brother before the weapons is unleashed upon Azeroth.
Bosses
The Soulcoil Well
Long ago, the shadow hunter Nek’zali and her followers were entombed for the blasphemous act of summoning Ula’tek. Restored by the very power she unleashed, she calls the other Soulcoilers from their tombs to serve her once more.
The Vile Crypt
Careful genetic modification has engendered in this beast an exquisitely rare sensitivity to magical energies. Purpose-bred for the ability to infuse arcane energy into its prodigious silk weaving, it creates “living silk”—perfect for the Soulbinder to use in binding Shadowguards.
Within the Chamber of Virulence, Vashnik the Malignant distills Ula’tek’s venoms into ever more lethal forms. The creature lurks in its noxious chamber, brewing foul toxins to empower its brood.
Crypt of the Soulcoilers
A band of tortollan, possessed by spirits, have come to their senses near the sarcophagus of an ancient Soulcoiler. Trapped in the vault, they seek ancient artifacts to protect themselves from further possession by vengeful spirits.
A horrifying creature, warped by Ula’tek’s toxic venom, Sszorak is a brutal instrument of vengeance. Calling upon the winds that howl deep within Atal’Utek, it tears apart any living creature it encounters.
Pit of Fangs
The first of Ula’tek’s blood, Vexhul and Ithraz brood beneath a roiling sea of venom deep within the vault of Atal’Utek. Any foolish enough to enter the prison’s inner chamber risk their monstrous jaws and toxic strikes.
The Coiled Altar
The spirit of Malacrass will not release his grip on Zul’jan so easily. At the Coiled Altar, the shaman commands the warrior to enact the final ritual to unleash Ula’tek on the Amani—for revenge, and to gain their promised reward.
The great shame of the Amani empire. The vast complex of Atal’Utek was created to imprison the weapon that proved to be as much of a threat as the enemy she was intended to destroy. Ula’tek has risen from her ancient slumber and threatens all of Azeroth if she should escape.
