After the radiation gambit against the trogg invasion went wrong, the poisoned gnome capital fell to the troggs and to the traitor Mekgineer Thermaplugg.

Entrance The front gate of Gnomeregan in western Dun Morogh (17.7, 39.2)

A long descent through the irradiated gnome capital. It is packed with machines and troggs and stacked over several levels, so it is easy to get lost. Mekgineer Thermaplugg is the last boss.

Before you go

  • The first boss, Grubbis, appears at the end of the event you start by talking to Blastmaster Emi Shortfuse. Keep Emi alive while the troggs pour in.
  • For Data Rescue, feed a White Punch Card through the Matrix Punchograph 3005 machines in turn until it becomes a Prismatic card. Machine A is outside the dungeon; B, C and D are inside.
  • The Workshop Key dropped by Electrocutioner 6000 lets you use the back entrance by the train depot next time.
  • Horde players who finish Scooty's quest Gnomer-gooooone! in Booty Bay can use the goblin transponder to reach Gnomeregan.
