World Bosses in Shadowlands

A new boss was added to Zereth Mortis in Patch 9.2. Antros drops better loot from the rest of world bosses in Shadowlands. We have a dedicated page for Antros linked below.

A new world boss was added Patch 9.1 to Korthia. You will learn more about Mor'geth, Tormentor of the Damned, on a separate page.

Four world bosses have been added in Patch 9.0.2. We simply call them "old" because they were available when Shadowlands launched and two new bosses have been added since. The old world bosses rotate on a weekly schedule, meaning a different boss is available each week.

You do not need to be in a raid group to receive loot from the world bosses.

The four world bosses are on a fixed rotation, unlike the newer world bosses added in Patch 9.1 and Patch 9.2.

• Mortanis;
• Oranomonos;
• Nurgash;
• Valinor;

Each of the Shadowlands zones except for The Maw contains 1 world boss.

World bosses drop loot on par with Normal difficulty Castle Nathria, meaning Item Level 207. They also drop Legendary Power recipes and many Conduits that we do not list to not clutter this hub. You can find out more information about the specific powers and Conduits in our guides.

The world bosses in Shadowlands are Valinor, the Light of Eons, Mortanis, Oranomonos the Everbranching, and Nurgash Muckformed.

Valinor is located in Bastion.

Built by the Kyrians as a means of testing their hardened warriors, Valinor is a centurion of great power. Taken by the forsworn and infected with the seed of doubt, Valinor now sees all foes as challengers.
