The 2024 anniversary celebration has attracted some uninvited guests, and it’s your job to clear them out! Six World Bosses from previous World of Warcraft expansions are making their appearance during the event. They each drop some unique gear and a few even drop mounts.

Level Range & Lockout

You must be at least level 15 to face off against these World Bosses. You won’t be able to queue for Premade Groups in the Group Finder until level 50, but you could head to the boss’s location and hope for a raid to come along. As long as you do some damage to the boss, you should get credit.

Each one has a loot lockout that resets once per day, so there’s not much point in defeating them any more often than that.

Weekly Quest

There are two alternating weekly quests. The Originals requires killing the three bosses from Vanilla World of Warcraft: Azuregos, Lord Kazzak, and one of the four Dragons of Nightmare, Emeriss, Lethon, Taerar, or Ysondre. Timely Gate Crashers requires the three bosses who are terrorizing Tanaris: Doomwalker, Sha of Anger, and Archavon the Stone Watcher.

Either quest gives 1 Bronze Celebration Goodie Bag and 3 Bronze Celebration Tokens as well as some gold and experience. The week’s quest can be picked up from Izaik Kadarov at the celebration grounds in Tanaris (62.3, 51.8).

Achievements

There are four achievements to be earned by defeating World Bosses during the 20th Anniversary Event.

• A Gatecrasher: Defeat Archavon the Stonewatcher, Doomwalker, or Sha of Anger.
• The Gatecrashers: Defeat all three World Bosses in Tanaris – Archavon the Stonewatcher, Doomwalker, and Sha of Anger.
• An Original: Defeat Azuregos, Lord Kazzak, or any of the four Dragons of Nightmare.
• The Originals: Defeat all of the World Bosses outside Tanaris – Azuregos, Lord Kazzak, and all four Dragons of Nightmare.

20th Anniversary World Bosses

There are six World Bosses available during the 20th Anniversary Event. Five are static: Archavon the Stone Watcher, Azuregos, Doomwalker, Lord Kazzak, and Sha of Anger are always available and always spawn in the same general area. The sixth boss is one of the four Dragons of Nightmare: Emeriss, Lethon, Taerar, or Ysondre, who each spawn in a different location on different days.

Three of these bosses are found in Tanaris while the other three are scattered across Azeroth. You can spot them on the world map or zone map by looking for the World Boss icon.

Archavon the Stone Watcher

This boss from the Wrath of the Lich King expansion has apparently escaped from the Vault of Archavon in Wintergrasp and somehow landed in Tanaris. He is initially encased in a bubble and guarded by 5 Val’kyr Hunters. You must defeat the Val’kyrs in order to pull the boss. He is one of the two new bosses to the anniversary event in 2024.

Azuregos

One of the original world bosses in Vanilla WoW, this boss can be found in Azshara.

Doomwalker

This boss from the Burning Crusade is now terrorizing the celebration event in Tanaris.
