Eye of Eternity WotLK Classic Raid Overview
Published on: 21 October, 2022 | Last Updated on: 14 December, 2024
Eye of Eternity Instance General Facts
The Eye of Eternity is one of three instances, which were released within the first phase for Classic WotLK realms. The other two are Naxxramas and the Obsidian Sanctum. You may be interested in reading complete and detailed overviews for these raids, including loot tables. Check links to learn more.
The Eye of Eternity raid is a part of a Nexus complex, where players may also visit two dungeons with the same stylistic features: the Nexus and the Oculus. Here lives Malygos, the Spell-Weaver. It seems like the blue dragon aspect has gone a bit crazy and needs to be taken care of.
At least one person in the party should complete attunement quests to summon Malygos in the Eye of Eternity. Both normal and heroic quests drop in the Naxxramas raid from Sapphiron in 10- and 25-player mode. The quests are called The Key to the Focusing Iris and The Heroic Key to the Focusing Iris accordingly.
To start a fight, players should click on the Focusing Iris in the center of the platform.
Malygos has two mounts, the Reins of the Azure Drake and the Reins of the Blue Drake. They say both of them may drop in a single run.
The Eye of Eternity Location
The Eye of Eternity raid is on a separate island called Coldarra, to the West of the Borean Tundra zone. To get there, players may use their flying mounts, taxi, or ask someone from their party to summon them. The nearest flight point is Transitus Shield; it has neutral status, so both factions can use it. The raid is at the highest level of the Nexus tower; don’t mix it with dungeons. To get the actual information about which gear to set up, use our Raidbots guide!
Malygos is the only inhabitant of this place, so there is only one area with a single boss. But dragons can fly obviously, and this one is not an exception, so the boss area also has a vertical structure.
The Boss
Malygos is the only boss in the Eye of Eternity, which makes it easier to get ready for a raid and to learn the necessary tactics and actions. We will not place here a full strategy guide – it requires a separate article; instead, we will give you terse notes that may help your party during a fight with an aspect.
Tanks
Keep the dragon’s jaws away from the raid, as this specimen doesn’t have rear cone attacks.
Control the adds and stay within purple protective bubbles during the second phase.

Rewards
Malygos is the only boss in the Eye of Eternity; there aren’t even any guardians, like in the Obsidian Sanctum, for instance. This means we cannot count on many rewards of any type. There are some, however, including two mounts. Let us look at all of them.
Achievements
The achievement system is a large and divaricate structure. It has several sizable groups, each of which is also divided into smaller ones. Here we will mention only those which are connected to raids. There are four types of instance-related achievements in World of Warcraft:
- Challenge Achievements are given for completing certain challenges or tasks in the raid;
- Kill Credit Achievements, which are earned for defeating bosses;
- Meta Achievements are a combination of several minor achievements;
- Feats of Strength are a limited or one-time thing.
As long as there are two versions of the Eye of Eternity raid, the achievements are also presented in two variations, for 10 and 25 ppl parties. Here we will mention only the ones for 25 people, keeping in mind, they are practically the same for the normal difficulty.

Glory of the Raider Meta Achievements
A long and exhausting work awaits those who decided to complete this meta-achievement. There are 17 achievements in total in this big one. The majority of them relate to Naxxramas, but 4 are done inside the Eye of Eternity and here we shall demonstrate only them; you can read about achievements for other instances in their corresponding overviews.
Since the rewards are different, both 10 and 25 people variations are shown.
