Battle for Mount Hyjal (instance) Battle for Mount Hyjal, also called "Hyjal Summit" after its subzone, is a 25 player raid instance in the Caverns of Time. Players go back in time to take part in the historic Battle of Mount Hyjal ending the Third War, "assisting" human, Horde, and night elf forces in fighting off the Burning Legion and the Scourge, ultimately weakening Archimonde enough to allow for his final defeat. This roughly duplicates the final mission of Warcraft III. The raid's difficulty is slightly below that of Black Temple, and the first two Tier 6 set tokens can be won there. Defeating enemies in the raid is the only significant way to gain reputation with The Scale of the Sands. Attunement Mount Hyjal does not require attunement. Prior to Patch 2.4 completion of N [30R] The Vials of Eternity was needed in order to enter the instance. The quest is still in the game, the only substantial reward being the (now obsolete) Band of Eternity set of rings. Prior to patch 3.0.2 completion of the quest chain also rewarded the " [Hand of A'dal]", which now is no longer available. Overview WorldMap-CoTMountHyjal.jpg Behind the instance portal is an anteroom which sports another three instance portals (two of them blocked initially), a reagent vendor and the Tier 6 item vendor (who can also repair). The three portals lead to three bases (Alliance, Horde, and night elf) at which all encounters take place. The bases are also connected to each other by a long road within the instance itself. After defeating the two bosses in the human base, the second portal opens up and permits direct access to the Horde camp. After killing two more bosses there, the third gate opens, which leads to the night elves. Wipe recovery is usually possible in place, so the portals are used rather infrequently, save the last one - due to his long aggro range, wipes at Archimonde usually require a corpse run. The first four bosses are preceded by eight waves of trash mobs each. Each wave spawns once the previous one is defeated, or after a maximum of two minutes; bosses spawn at most three minutes after the final trash wave spawns, and is followed by a longer delay. During trash waves, two counters appear in the UI: one displays the number of remaining mobs in the current wave, and a second for the current wave number. Wiping during any boss or trash wave will require re-clearing all 8 trash waves for that boss. Enemies can be engaged as soon as they spawn, but fights typically take place close to the entrance inside the friendly bases so that the NPCs can be used in an easy but controllable way. The waves (and bosses) spawn at the enemy camp about 20 seconds away from the friendly base, so drinking and resurrecting is usually possible between waves. At the Horde location, some waves include flying enemies that will attack NPCs from within the base. The final boss, Archimonde is not preceded by any trash waves. He can be attacked as soon as the raid arrives.
