World of Warcraft Opens Venomous Abyss Story Mode and Raid Finder Wing 2

Posted on by

World of Warcraft players have a couple more ways into The Venomous Abyss this week. Story Mode is now live for the Curse of Ula’tek raid, and Raid Finder Wing 2, The Essence of Venom, has opened with two bosses: Entombed Sentinels and Vashnik the Malignant.

The Venomous Abyss is an eight-boss raid set on the Coiled Isle as part of the Midnight content rollout. According to the Blue Tracker post, the raid is for level 90 characters, supports Raid Finder, Normal, Heroic, Mythic, and Story Mode, and requires item level 273 for Raid Finder.

Wing 2 sends players deeper into the raid after Wing 1 opened the week before. Entombed Sentinels are ancient golems blocking the path further into the vaults, while Vashnik the Malignant uses Ula’tek’s venom to create stronger toxins.
