World of Warcraft Patch 11.2 Ghosts of K’aresh Features
Ghosts of K’aresh culminates in a new raid called Manaforge Omega, the Shadowguard base where the revival of Dimensius is set to take place. Players will encounter an Ethereal wrapping facility, a rogue faction of Demon Hunters, and the Void Lord himself, who is the largest raid boss in history. Beyond that, a Delve in theAzure Span on the Dragon Isles fromWoW: Dragonflightcalled The Archival Assault, a dungeon called Eco-Dome Al’dani, and Nexus Princess Ky’veza from Nerub-ar Palace as the Delve Nemesis will provide plenty of challenges for fans.
Players of all classes will obtain the Reshii Wraps, an artifact-level cloak that lets them phase into an Ethereal energy state to interact with the world in new ways. The raid and Delve include opportunities to use this feature, but Phase Diving will provide avenues in the open world to encounter new creatures, treasures, and quests, including Warrants, which allow one to hunt down notorious creatures to aid the constable of Tazavesh. The cloak will receive upgrades to both stats and appearances as one progresses through their adventures.
Ve’nari, theMaw Broker fromWorld of Warcraft: Shadowlands, returns in Patch 11.2 through the Ecological Succession activity. Fans can collect animals from old zones to fill her Eco-Domes, aiding in her quest to restore K’aresh to a habitable state.
Season 3 also begins in Patch 11.2, bringing with it a new Mythic Dungeon pool, PvP updates, and class sets with bonuses that focus on Hero Talents. The update doesn’t have a release date yet, but players can likely expect it to arrive sometime in August.
