World of Warcraft is famous for its exciting raids and dungeons, along with its legendary and vast universe. With the release of the Shadowlands expansion last year, loads of new content and bosses were added. We will share with you the tier list of the most difficult bosses of the game.
In the 17-year history of World of Warcraft, there have been a lot of unbeatable bosses, but now there are very few who can beat what we’re about to tell you on the first try. Bosses like Kel’Thuzad, Kael’Thas, and C’Thun are known for their difficulty.
Known for her tidal states in Shadowlands, Sylvanas Windrunner was thought to be the most challenging boss for the game, but unfortunately, she’s not on our list of hardest bosses. Let’s take a look at World of Warcraft’s most difficult bosses to beat.
1. Blackhand
- Zone: Blackrock Foundry
- Expansion: Warlords of Draenor
- Number of Attempts: 325
Blackhand is one of the most challenging bosses of Draenor
Blackhand has managed to become one of the most memorable bosses in the game with its difficulty. He was the final boss of Blackrock Foundry in the Warlords of Draenor expansion. Requiring a lot of focus and tactics, this boss can be deadly if not done carefully.
The first phase of Boss is easy, and you feel like you can beat Blackhand easily. But when Blackhand’s health drops to 70%, he switches to his second state and becomes stronger. This means that it summons a Siegemaker every 50 seconds. That’s why you should kill him immediately before another one gets summoned.
2. Jaina Proudmoore
- Zone: Battle for Dazar’Alor
- Expansion: Battle for Azeroth
- Number of Attempts: 346
Jaina Proudmoore as we know from Alliance, is so powerful.
In the Battle of Dazar’Alor raid, Jaina was the hardest boss to beat. We all know Jaina from lore, and we do not doubt that she is one of the strongest of the Alliances. But it’s not like Blackhand because the Chilling Touch debuff she uses has many different mechanics.
Players are slowed by 2 percent when Chilling Touch is used. It stacks, and players freeze when it reaches the full stack. But if you have a troll on your team, your job is easier as they are less affected by the slow.
3. Queen Azshara
- Zone: Eternal Palace
- Expansion: Battle for Azeroth
- Number of Attempts: 359
Queen Azshara is one of the hardest bosses in WoW history.
Queen Azshara is a boss in The Eternal Palace raid. The Eternal Palace raid is one of the most enjoyable raids in the BFA because you have to use different mechanics and tactics. That’s why it’s hard to beat Queen Azshara as well.
Queen Azshara is a strong character with a history as far back as the Cataclysm in lore, and she proves her strength in the raid as well. She targets those in sight and deals great damage. If you can Dodge, this boss will be easy for you.
4. Fallen Avatar
- Zone: The Tomb of Sargeras
- Expansion: Legion
- Number of Attempts: 453
You can not underestimate the power of Fallen Avatar.
Fallen Avatar is the second to last boss of The Tomb of Sargeras in Legion. Dark Mark, a debuff with an infinite range that targeted three random raid members, caused immense damage, and then launched them into the air, was one well spell.
However, the Fallen Avatar is not invincible. The only way to have a solid run with the Fallen Avatar was to keep your fingers crossed that no party members with low health were targeted.
5. Archimonde
- Zone: Hellfire Citadel 2.0
- Expansion: Warlords of Draenor
- Number of Attempts: 490
Archimonde is one of the most challenging bosses of Draenor
Archimonde was the last boss of the Warlords of Draenor raid Hellfire Citadel, a nod to The Burning Crusade’s dungeon of the same name. Archimonde is one of the most dangerous bosses in the game, and the slightest miscommunication and carelessness can lead to the death of an entire team.
There were some elements that the boss randomly obtained before dealing damage. One of them is the Doomfire spell, which is a spirit that deals massive damage to you for 10 seconds before aggro passes on you, and it’s even more powerful than you think.
6. Yogg-Saron
- Zone: Old God of Ulduar
- Expansion: Wrath of the Lich King
- Number of Attempts: 558
Yogg-Saron is a powerful and hard to kill WoW boss.
Yogg-Saron is an ancient god with an exploitative power, mighty enough to overcome anything in the World of Warcraft universe. During the raid, there are keeper NPCs who come to help in the raid. But you don’t have to use it. Try beating Yogg-Saron yourself, even if it’s tough, especially if you’re playing on max difficulty.
7. Ragnaros 2.0
- Zone: Firelands
- Expansion: Cataclysm
- Number of Attempts: 615
Ragnaros is reborn again the Cataclysm expansion.
Ragranos was initially a boss in World of Warcraft Vanilla, but he became able to fight again in Cataclysm, so he has “2.0” in his name. The challenge of this raid was that most guilds took over 20 minutes to complete.
20 minutes is a long time for a Cataclysm raid, and many unexpected events can happen during that time. While Ragnaros wasn’t so challenging in Vanilla, his respawn definitely brought with it the challenge.
8. Garrosh
- Zone: Siege of Orgrimmar
- Expansion: Mists of Pandaria
- Number of Attempts: 645
Garrosh is a hard to kill WoW boss.
Garrosh is considered one of the most difficult bosses in the game and is among the most difficult bosses to defeat in 10-player raids. Timing and attention are also required to beat this boss, which requires a lot of good coordination and communication.
The average time to finish the boss is between 10 and 15 minutes if all goes well. But know that the boss will not pity you for the slightest mistake.
9. Uu’nat
- Zone: Crucible of Storms
- Expansion: Battle for Azeroth
- Number of Attempts: 730
Uu’Nat one of the most powerful and challenging bosses in World of Warcraft history.
Uu’Nat, the final boss in Crucible of Storms in the Battle for Azeroth expansion, is unquestionably one of the most challenging bosses in the game, making it second on our list. There is only one feature that makes this boss undefeatable.
This ability is called Unstable Resonance. Unstable Resonance was a raid-wide ability that impacted more than half of the raid at the same time, forcing players to avoid teammates with various resonance types. The ability would activate and inflict a deadly explosion within 10 yards of the players if they touched and had different debuffs.
10. Sire Denathrius
- Zone: Castle Nathria
- Expansion: Shadowlands
- Number of Attempts: 810
Sire Denathrius is a vampire lord who is a very hard to kill boss in Shadowlands expansion.
Denathrius is the ruthless leader of the horror realm Revendreth and is an NPC in the Shadowlands with whom you constantly interact. In the first patch of Shadowlands’ debut, he was one of our toughest enemies in the game. Sire Denathrius, the final boss of the Castle Nathria raid, is a boss that needs to be done with multiple tactics. It is the most difficult WoW boss now, and defeating him takes a lot of patience.
All of the bosses we have counted so far are not as powerful as they used to be, as we are currently at the Shadowlands expansion. When new expansion comes, others become easier to complete. But if we evaluate it according to their time, their strength is indisputable. As Shadowlands is still an ongoing expansion, Sire Denathrius is the strongest at the moment.
If you don’t have a good team, we can say that you will definitely have a hard time at the Mythic level. If you do not have an expert team, you can access great rewards by defeating Sire Denathrisu together with our qualified and professional WoW players by taking advantage of the WoW Mythic boost services we offer.
