Sunken Temple in WoW Forever: Level 50-60 Bosses and Quests

The Sunken Temple, formally the Temple of Atal'Hakkar, is a five-player dungeon for levels 50 to 60 in the Swamp of Sorrows, and Wowhead's Forever database lists it with a level range of 50 to 60, as of November 10, 2026. I found no Blizzard page confirming that it is open to play. Warcraft Tavern says its guide is based on WoW Classic because the instance was not accessible in the Forever beta, so treat boss and quest details as Classic-era until confirmed in play.

Quick answer: Wowhead lists the dungeon, but I found no Blizzard page confirming it is open yet. Per Warcraft Tavern's Classic-based guide, reach the temple in the middle of the Swamp of Sorrows lake, swim and walk to the portal in the Hall of Bones, and clear it in this order: Atal'alarion, six troll mini-bosses, Jammal'an, two pairs of dragons, then the Shade of Eranikus. Most quests start in Feralas, Tanaris, the Hinterlands or Stonard.

Key facts

• Level range: 50 to 60, five players, contested territory, added in patch 1.60.1 (Wowhead)
• Location: Swamp of Sorrows; the Horde has the nearby hub at Stonard (Warcraft Tavern)
• Bosses: seven, plus six troll mini-bosses (Warcraft Tavern)
• Quests: Wowhead's zone page counts 11; Warcraft Tavern lists 12 plus a class quest each

How do you reach the Sunken Temple?

Warcraft Tavern says Alliance players run across Deadwind Pass from Darkshire or north from Nethergarde Keep in the Blasted Lands. You swim or walk on water to the entrance in the lake, cross the flooded Broken Hall to the Hall of Masks, then go through the Den of the Caller and the Hall of Ritual to the Hall of Bones, where the portal is. It also warns of level 46 to 48 elites outside. See the dungeon level ranges and dungeons overview.

Who are the Sunken Temple bosses?

Warcraft Tavern lists Atal'alarion, Spawn of Hakkar, the six troll mini-bosses (Loro, Hukku, Zul'lor, Zolo, Mijan, Gasher), Jammal'an the Prophet with Ogom the Wretched, Weaver and Dreamscythe, Hazzas and Morphaz, the Shade of Eranikus, and the Avatar of Hakkar, which needs a quest chain. It says the trolls must die before Jammal'an and the dragonkin should be cleared before the Shade. To summon Atal'alarion, it says to click six shrines in the Pit of Refuse in the order south, north, southwest, southeast, northwest, northeast.

Which quests belong to the Sunken Temple?

Warcraft Tavern's list, with level required and giver:

• Alliance: Into The Temple of Atal'Hakkar (41, Brohann Caskbelly, Stormwind); Haze of Evil (47, Gregan Brewspewer, Feralas); The Sunken Temple (46, Angelas Moonbreeze, Feralas)
• Horde: The Temple of Atal'Hakkar (38, Fel'zerul, Stonard); Zapper Fuel (47, Liv Rizzlefix, Ratchet); The Sunken Temple (46, Witch Doctor Uzer'i, Feralas)

Each class also has a level 50 chain, such as Warlock's Trolls of a Feather from Impsy in Felwood or Paladin's Forging the Mightstone from Commander Ashlam Valorfist in Western Plaguelands. The Tavern says several of them need feathers from the six mini-bosses. See dungeon quests for XP and class quests.

What is the temple's story?

Warcraft Tavern says exiled Gurubashi troll priests built the temple to summon Hakkar the Soulflayer, and that the dragon aspect Ysera smashed it. Green dragons and surviving trolls now guard it.

I did not confirm whether the free, fan-made Lore Forever add-on covers this dungeon. Its FAQ says WoW does not let add-ons reach the internet, so it can only tell what it shipped with.

• Forever differences: Warcraft Tavern's text is Classic-based; changes in Forever are unconfirmed
