Hellfire Citadel Raid Schedule
by Its_Immanis - 9 years ago show comments
Blizzard has not yet announced the release date for patch 6.2, but they did just let us know the release schedule for Hellfire Citadel once the patch is available on Live realms. As with prior raids, the first week will consist of the entirety of Normal and Heroic modes becoming available. The second week of the patch will see the opening of all Mythic bosses along with the first wing of LFR. This is similar to the release schedule for Highmaul and Blackrock Foundry.
LFR this time around will require an Item Level of 650 for entry, so if you’re not there yet you’ve got a few weeks to meet that requirement to jump in as soon as it becomes available.
Assuming the patch releases as anticipated on June 23rd, the final boss of the instance, Archimonde, will become available the last week of August.
The armies of Azeroth are set to charge into Tanaan Jungle and the new Raid found there. To help with the coordination of these fiery days to come, we’ve broken down the unlock schedule for Hellfire Citadel. Get ready!
If you’re among those patiently sharpening your sword until Raid Finder unlocks, please note that you’ll need a minimum item level of 650 to enter. Here’s the rundown:
Week 1 (with the release of Patch 6.2)
- Hellfire Citadel Normal and Heroic difficulties open.
Week 2
- Mythic difficulty becomes available.
- Raid Finder Wing 1 (Hellfire Assault, Iron Reaver, Kormrok) unlocks.
Week 4
- Raid Finder Wing 2 (Hellfire High Council, Kilrogg, Gorefiend) unlocks.
Week 6
- Raid Finder Wing 3 (Shadow-Lord Iskar, Socrethar the Eternal, Tyrant Velhari) unlocks.
Week 8
- Raid Finder Wing 4 (Fel Lord Zakuun, Xhul’horac, Mannoroth) unlocks.
Week 10
- Raid Finder Wing 5 (Archimonde) unlocks.
