Bastion of Twilight is an entry-level raid instance introduced in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. It features five bosses plus one optional heroic boss.^[1][2]

The Bastion of Twilight, along with Throne of the Four Winds and Blackwing Descent, is meant to be the "Naxxramas" of Cataclysm: an entry level raiding.^[1][2][3]

Encounters

Several of the encounters have be announced so far; they are:^[1][2]

• Halfus Wyrmbreaker
• Valiona and Theralion, known as the "Double Dragon encounter", an encounter that requires "dual-strafing".
• Council like encounter called the Twilight Ascendant Council – Twilight's Hammer cultists ascended into elementals.
• Cho'gall – final boss.
• Optional Algalon-style "ultra hard mode" encounter: Sinestra

Upon defeating Cho'gall on heroic mode, the floor beneath players will collapse and they will fall into a cavern of flowing lava and "a very large number of black [sic] dragon eggs" that hides a "horrifying secret".^[1][2][4][5]
