The Black Temple and Battle for Mount Hyjal raids will be joining the roster in World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Classic, so here’s how to access them in WoW TBC.

As World of Warcraft‘s latest Classic expansion, The Burning Crusade, continues to add content to the ever-growing roster of dungeons and raids, players will be able to hop back into the familiar fray with the Black Temple and Battle for Mount Hyjal raids.

Following the release of Overlords of Outland patch, which allowed players to finally face down the infamous Kael’thas and Lady Vashj, players will now be able to take on the fearsome Archimonde, alongside the poster child of TBC, Illidan Stormrage himself.

But just how do you go about inserting yourself into these pivotal events in WoW’s history? Here’s a rundown of how to access both the Battle for Mount Hyjal and The Black Temple.
