Plan your run
Planning range: 24–32 / Five players / Ashenvale. Researched 31 October 2026; beta details may change. Playfulls lists dungeon level 22+; that is a data label, not a verified portal-entry requirement. Current dungeon data.
Enter the ruins at northern Zoram Strand and descend through the hostile approach. Bring underwater breathing for the submerged optional fight.
Follow the pools into Moonshrine Sanctum. Include Sarevess's side cave and Serra'kis underwater. After Kelris, activate only one brazier at a time and finish its waves. Entrance and route reference.

Bosses and tactics
The following tactics are summarized from the Forever guide.
- Ghamoo-ra: Ranged avoid Trample; armor reduction helps.
- Lady Sarevess: Clear naga, control her escorts, and spread for lightning.
- Gelihast: Pull fleeing murlocs back; free the tank from Net.
- Lorgus Jett: Remove Lightning Shield with an offensive dispel.
- Old Serra'kis (optional): Manage breath while fighting underwater.
- Twilight Lord Kelris: Clear the sanctum first; interrupt Mind Blast and recover threat after Sleep.
- Aku'mai: Move out of poison clouds; save healing for Frenzied Rage.
Boss loot and item links
Named equipment, boss-specific recipes, pets, bags and quest starters currently listed by the sources appear below. Drop percentages are omitted: the sites mix expectations, legacy values and beta observations. Boss associations are community reports; client item existence alone does not prove a live drop.
Evidence and remaining gaps
Pattern: Brawler's Leather Legguards (252820) and Pattern: Defender's Leather Kilt (252822) are vendor-sold recipes with sparse community drop reports, so they remain outside the targeted boss table. Wowhead reports the kilt pattern from Thalnos and the legguards pattern from Gelihast. These reports do not establish reliable targeted boss loot.
