World of Warcraft: Dragonflight guide - All currently known Aberrus bosses and item drops

Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible is the raid that's officially arriving in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight with the 10.1 update. This challenging locale is known to many as the hidden laboratory of Neltharion the Earth-Warder, later known as Deathwing. The forces of both good and evil are eager to get their hands on the magic and secrets hidden within this location. In the upcoming WoW update, both the Incarnates and the forces of Scalecommander Sarkareth will be the opposition.

All the bosses in Aberrus have now been confirmed for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, although it's currently unclear if players will have the freedom to choose their own paths within this WoW raid. Nevertheless, Sarkareth will be the final battle, and the Neltharion battle will take place right before it. For now, not much is known about the items that drop there, but we will update it as more becomes known.

Known bosses and drops in Aberrus for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight

Nine powerful bosses await in World of Warcraft’s upcoming patch, 10.1. The release date of this update was recently revealed as May 2, 2023. This means that players only have a few months to wait until the next challenging content drops for Blizzard’s popular MMO. Given below are all the nine bosses that will be taking part in this upcoming content:

• Kazzara, the Hellforged
• The Amalgamation Chamber (Molgoth)
• The Forgotten Experiments
• Assault of the Zaqali
• Rashok, the Elder
• The vigilant Steward, Zskarn
• Magmorax
• Echo of Neltharion
• Scalecommander Sarkareth

Kazzara the Hellforged is one of the more interesting bosses in Aberrus in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. Being a massive dragon that's covered in Elementium plates, it very much resembles the body of Deathwing. It was an early experiment in adding Elementium plates to a dragon, but the pain of it all drove Kazzara insane.

The Amalgamation Chamber features a pair of elementals - Shadow (Krozgoth) and Fire (Moltannia). You can reportedly pull whichever one you want to start with, but eventually, they will combine to become Molgoth in phase 2. This promises to be a rather challenging encounter in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight.

The Forgotten Experiments offer Aberrus raiders a few fresh challenges in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight as well. Neldris, Thadrion, and Rionthus are a trio of Dracthyr experiments, which appear to be far more successful than some of Neltharion’s other creations.

Next up, there’s the Assault of the Zaqali, which seems to be a gauntlet battle with a host of mini-bosses. Led by Warlord Kagni, they assailed Aberrus in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight in search of their elder, Rashok. Did they succeed? Only time will tell.

However, that seems unlikely, as the next World of Warcraft: Dragonflight in Aberrus is Rashok, the Elder. He’s been shackled here for millennia, only to be a power source for Neltharion’s wicked experiments. Unfortunately, he’s completely mad and will be a dangerous foe.

Zskarn the Vigilant’s purpose is to test Neltharion’s creations within Aberrus. This means that if you want to get to the end of this World of Warcraft: Dragonflight raid, he’s not going to just let you pass peacefully.

Maxmorax is a fairly straightforward encounter, as it’s a lava hydra. A pet of Neltharion, this fight will probably have players doing battle with all three heads using multiple unique abilities at the same time in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight.

While Deathwing is certainly dead and will never return in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, his essence remains in Aberrus. The penultimate fight in this raid is Echo of Neltharion, but it’s unknown how much of the former Aspect’s power remains.

Finally, Scalecommander Sarkareth will be waiting for raid groups at the end of World of Warcraft: Dragonflight patch 10.1. The leader of the Sundered Flame, he wants a different future for the Dracthyr. He seeks the legacy of his race, deep within the bowels of Aberrus.

When it comes to item drops, not much is known at the moment, but a few items have been revealed for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. There are certain class-specific trinkets that we know the full stats for. As of writing this article, there are a few other pieces of gear that are less clear.
