Where: Queue up solo or with a group of friends through Xyggie Marou in Dornogal, Orgrimmar, or Stormwind
Requirements: Level 80

Steel your nerves and begin your adventure by visiting an event hub located in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, or Dornogal. Queue up with Xyggie Marou and prepare for intense matches against pairs of legendary bosses.

Mega-Mayhem Means More Madness

Four available bosses storm the stage in week one, with more joining the madness each week, culminating in a full roster of 10 chaotic boss encounters before the event ends. With new bosses being added, the pool of possibilities is endless.

More bosses mean more points, and the more points you earn in combat, the higher your chances of taking your place on the podium. No matter where you place, the Prize Chest at the end of a Dastardly Duo match is yours and contains Warbound Veteran-track gear and other rewards to go along with your bragging rights.

Diving into the Dastardly Dome solo or with less than five in your group? Volunteer NPCs will automatically fill in to help. That is unless you’re trying for a more challenging fight to earn those sweet points, then you can dismiss them.

Vinnie Sweets’ Weekly Quests with Roughhousing Rewards 

Each week during the event, Vinnie will dole out a fresh quest starting with “Who are the Dastardly Duos?” for a sweet Dastardly Prize Purse containing Champion-track gear and a Dastardly Banner toy.

New rewards are available each week; continue to earn a Dastardly Prize Purse and new loot upon completion of the latest weekly quest, like the illustrious Winner’s Podium toys and the spicy Mean-Ball Ball Bag pet. You can even ride astride atop the coveted Tyrannotort’s Treat mount from the “They’ve Heard of You!” quest on week four.

Here’s the reward rollout alongside the Dastardly Prize Purse:

• Week 1: Dastardly Banner toy
• Week 2: Winner’s Podium toy
• Week 3: Mean-Ball Ball Bag pet
• Week 4: Tyrannotort’s Treat mount

Buff Up Before Your Battle

Before you start the fight, be sure to fill up on food and drink buffs from the Craft-Service Table, Wodin the Troll-Servant (wears many hats and also serves as a reward vendor), or the drink shelf:

• Beefy Burger (Craft-Service Table):
  • Increase damage done by 15%
  • Decrease damage taken by 15%
• Hearty Haunch (Wodin the Troll-Servant): Toughen up!
  • Physical damage taken reduced by 80%
  • Magical damage taken reduced by 40%
  • Damage done reduced by 40%
  • Threat generation increased by 600%
• Vial of Healing: Gain 8% health every 6 seconds.
• Bottle of Invisibility: Turns the player invisible.
• Can of Amps: Increases speed by 50%.

Foods that increase the challenge to boost your score in the dome:

• “Challenging” Shrimpy Fish (Craft-Service Table):
  • Decrease damage done by 40%
  • Increase damage taken by 40%
  • Kill and Survival bonus: x2
• “Challenging” Hot Dog (Wodin the Troll-Servant): x2 Kill and Survival Bonus, but sometimes you get gassy…

Up the Ante to Intensify the Fight

A regular run of Dastardly Duos delivers two bosses at once in each wave, but during the fight, right-click a Cherry Bomb to place a green target on the ground. Defeat any bosses or other mobs in that ring to earn a double score. Other items to help earn you more points include:

• Burner Clock: Adds 30 seconds back to the Dastardly Duos clock.
• BIG Burner Clock: Adds 60 seconds back to the Dastardly Duos clock.

Starting week three, you can use the Horn of Calling to summon an additional boss, but be careful; if a member of your party simultaneously blows their Horn of Calling, the chaos could be catastrophic with three or more bosses at the same time!

Catapult yourself into the chaos of the Demolition Dome now—we look forward to seeing you deliver your best during Dastardly Duos!
