On July 11, WoW Classic SoD Phase 4 was officially released, and many players are very excited about the new discovery content. Phase 4 of WoW Classic Season of Discovery brings players the last set of dungeons that you can grind during your level 50 to 60.

The loot provided by these dungeons will be available until the end of the game. Therefore, you may end up running dungeons at level 60. This guide will specifically introduce you to Maraudon, which is explorable at level 50 to 52, and provides you with routes and some notes.

Maraudon is a huge dungeon in WoW Classic SoD Phase 4, suitable for entering and grinding when you reach level 50 and above. The bosses here range from level 48 to 51 only, so you will deal with these enemies easily and provide yourself with a lot of experience.

Routes

You can enter Maraudon from three different locations, and the routes you and your team will take will depend on which entrance you enter from.

If you want to start from the orange entrance, you can completely clear the dungeon. If you just want to clear all the bosses in the dungeon, you need to defeat Razorlash and enter the first large open area, then you can take a detour into the purple entrance and kill Lord Vyletongue. Finally, continue back to the main path, deeper into the dungeon.

If you want to be more adventurous, you can start from the purple entrance and defeat Maraudos, which is also required to complete the Pariah’s Instructions quest. After entering, you will see a waterfall in the dungeon, where you need to take a narrow path and fight Tinkerer Gizlock.

After the fight, continue up the slope path to defeat Landslide. From there, you can continue along the main path to Princess Theradras, and after defeating Princess Theradras, fall into the water and defeat Rotgrip.

If you want to go all the way to the end without having to backtrack, you can completely skip Lord Vyletongue, Tinkerer Gizlock and possibly Landslide. These bosses that will cause you to backtrack are actually insignificant in the dungeon and can be safely ignored.

Another popular route into Maraudon skips right up to the waterfall section of the dungeon, but only completes the last few bosses. This requires you and one of your group to have Scepter of Celebras, which is given to you when you talk to Celebras Redeemed in the first half of Maraudon.

The advantage of this route is that it allows you to defeat the bosses in the second half of the dungeon more quickly, the most notable of which is Princess Theradras, who drops some very useful loot for certain classes and SOD Gold that all players love.

This route is also the choice of some high-level players, as the monsters in the second half of the dungeon are a bit higher level. In addition, if you don’t need the loot in the first half of this dungeon, you can also use this route.

Here, I need to remind you that there is no exit in Maraudon. If you want to leave, you need teleport or hearthstone to help you leave this dungeon. If you really have no other way, just log out and reset to return to the nearby cemetery.

Enemies To Watch Out For

Although in theory, you will be higher level than the enemies in the dungeon and will defeat them easily, there are still some that you need to pay special attention to.

Creeping Sludge

These slimy-looking sludges will frequently cause a lot of AoE damage to nearby enemies. When facing them, try not to get close to them, but use ranged weapons to knock them down from a distance.

Barbed Lasher

In addition to the area of damage effect, these monsters also have a knockdown effect. If the healer on your team stands too close to them, the healer’s effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Noxious Slime

It’s actually not difficult for you to fight it, but after they die, they will leave a cloud of toxic gas on the ground. If you are not careful, you will be in danger.

Subterranean Diemetradon

These Diemertradons will cast Sonic Burst on you and silence anyone nearby for 10 seconds. Like Barbed Lasher, casters and healers in the raid should stay away from it.

Princess Theradras

As the final boss of Maraudon, Princess Theradras is much more difficult than any of the previous raids, so you need to know her skills in advance.

Her Repulsive Gaze can be very scary for you and your raid, and she will also throw Boulder at distant targets, which will damage their raid casters and interrupt their spell-casting. When she casts Dust Field, everyone should stay away from her, otherwise they will take a lot of damage.

This skill will also make it clear all obstacles in front of it, so have your raid tank and taunt her, otherwise she will hurt the lowest health among you.

More Tips

You need to have some ranged damage in your team to deal with Creeping Sludge, and for characters with healing skills. Because healers are very easy to get stuck in the crowd of enemies in Maraudon, it is beneficial to equip a few healing skills.

In addition to equipping skills, you also need to determine what loot your raid needs. Some bosses drop very rich loot, but their locations are too remote. If no one wants their dropped items, you need to discuss whether to skip or move on.

When you finally face Princess Theradras, remember to keep in touch. Princess Theradras may pose distinct threats to your team from different directions. If you are too scattered, it may be difficult for tank professions to regain hatred on the boss after Princess Theradras uses Dust Field.

After understanding the entire route and precautions of Maraudon, do you have more confidence to face this relatively simple dungeon? Go to Maraudon with your team!
