A layered maze — navigation is the hard part. After killing the four Fang lords (Anacondra, Cobrahn, Pythas, Serpentis) you escort Naralex's Disciple, and only then does Mutanus appear.
Entrance Cave in the ravine south of the oasis, The Barrens (47.7, 35.0)
Before you go
- The Fang druids cast Healing Touch — split interrupts and make sure every cast is stopped.
- Poison and sleep dispels prevent most wipes.
- Raptors call nearby mobs when low on health, so clear around them first.
- The map is flat but the cave is layered, with drops you cannot climb back up — it is easy to get separated.
Dungeon map
The numbers follow the route — each stop says what is there (boss, rare, object, NPC, something to do), and clicking one jumps to the section with the same number below. A faded number marks another spot where that mob can appear. We have not verified the walking path in this dungeon yet, so only the stops are numbered — the order is right, but the path between them is not drawn. The map is a top-down floor plan traced from the beta client's own dungeon geometry — brighter means higher. Every marker is a real mob coordinate from the Classic server database (cmangos classic-db), placed in the same coordinate system as the map rather than eyeballed onto artwork.
