Blizzard reveals last raid instance of Wrath
Frozen Hell - Tuesday, February 23, 2010
The Ruby Sanctum will be accessible via one of the portals beneath Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight in the same manner that the Obsidian Sanctum currently is. The instance will contain a single boss called Halion who will have lieutenants that you will have to defeat prior to engaging him. Unlike Sartharion in the Obsidian Sanctum, the encounter won’t be structured with you engaging the lieutenants for the hard mode or heroic version of the encounter.
The ilevel of the gear that Halion will drop will be on par with the loot that the Lich King drops, so its probably safe to assume he’ll be at the same level as the Lich King in terms of difficulty. There will be a heroic mode for Halion as well, which will be accessible via the normal toggle option in the same manner that heroic modes are accessed within Icecrown Citadel currently.
Blizzard as usual won’t give a date on when the new instance will be released, but they have confirmed that it won’t be included with the next patch – 3.3.3 – which is currently in testing on the public test realms (PTRs). But they have also confirmed that it won’t be as long away as the bridging patch to Cataclysm which is likely to be given the 4.0 patch number.
