Dungeons are one of the most important and iconic parts of any MMORPG, and that goes doubly so for World of Warcraft. With Mythic dungeon keys being one of the most beloved parts of the endgame, it is important that players understand the dungeons they are entering, be they Mythic, Heroic, or Normal difficulty. The Nokhud Offensive is no exception to this rule, featuring tough enemies and tougher bosses. Read on to find out everything you need to know, from location to bosses as well as what loot to expect.
World of Warcraft Dragonflight’s Nokhud Offensive dungeon, explained
The Nokhud Offensive entrance location
First off, before you can tackle The Nokhud Offensive, you first need to know where to look for it. The entrance to this dungeon can be found in theOhn’aran PlainsatMaruukai. The entrance will be near a crossroads and up a hill. If you have been around this area before, you may have already picked up the nearbyFlight Path, but if not head to the hillSoutheastof the entrance past the crossroads. Here you should pick up the flight path before heading into the dungeon.
Much like withWorld of Warcraft’s Neltharus dungeon, once you have entered The Nokhud Offensive you can complete the bosses in any order. The only caveat here is the same as Neltharus, with the final bossBalakar Khanbeing locked until you defeat the other three bosses first.
One final note for this dungeon is that you can useDragonridingto get from place to place, a unique characteristic for this dungeon only. However, one drawback for this boon is that there are no checkpoints, and thus you will always respawn at the dungeon’s entrance.
