Instances or dungeons are one of the more entertaining aspects of World of Warcraft. Some are dreary, and some are fun. But a few are quite impressive, and these few should be visited by all WoW gamers. Find out which ones you may be missing out on.
Stunning Regular Instances
Dire Maul is possibly the largest instance complex in Azeroth. Technically it consists of three separate instances, but together they make up an incredible dungeon-diving experience. The East compound has you taking on Alzzin the Wildshaper, while Immol'thar waits for you in the West. The North wing is possibly the hardest section of this vast instance, but it offers choices for the party as to how they can complete it. While you can attempt Dire Maul at level 45, it's advisable that you wait until you're somewhere in the neighborhood of 57-60.
Maraudon
Instead of saving the princess, Maraudon gives you the opportunity to destroy one. Princess Theradras is a chaotic earth elemental who decided centaurs might make a decent mate. After an unholy union with Zaetar - the keeper of the grove - the Princess ran from her misbegotten child after he killed his father. She waits in a secret sanctuary, keeping watch over Zaetar's tomb. The vistas within Maraudon are inspiring, the bosses are challenging, and fighting the Princess is something you'll really enjoy. You can't even enter if you're under level 30, and foes range from 44-48 - elite, of course.
Magister's Terrace
With The Burning Crusade comes the Magister's Terrace instance, located on the Isle of Quel'Dannas. The beauty of the Sunwell and stars are available for players to view, thanks to an Observatory. This instance also boasts the only cutscene, other than those seen at character creation time. The architecture of Silvermoon is present in all its glory, and players will find this to be one of the more challenging instances in the game. Battling against Kael'thas Sunstrider is an experience you definitely don't want to miss out on.
Utgarde Keep
Utgarde Keep is a enjoyable instance in Northrend. Thanks to The Wrath Of The Lich King expansion, players can work their way through some beautiful architecture that shows off the culture of the Vrykul very well. There are a multitude of enemies you will encounter here, from the deadly Blue Proto-Drakes to the undead Abominations. Oh, and of course there are the towering Vrykul themselves, who aren't very happy at your intrusions in their business. There is much majesty to see here and much blood to be shed - hopefully your foes.
