Barrow Deeps is WoW Forever's 10-player raid for level 60 characters. It opens on 9 December, has eight bosses, and sits in the prison that held Illidan for 10,000 years, deep under Kalimdor. All of that comes from Blizzard's raid overview.

Where the entrances are

Blizzard says the raid has several entrances, linked through Mount Hyjal, Winterspring and the Blackmaw Hold dungeon. It hasn't published exact coordinates yet. See Mount Hyjal for getting into the zone, and our Blackmaw Hold guide for the dungeon.

Do you need an attunement

Blizzard's overview gives an attunement only for Onyxia's Lair. It lists none for Barrow Deeps. That isn't the same as Blizzard saying there will never be one, so check again before 9 December. Onyxia's attunement is the one to start now.

The bosses

Blizzard has said there are eight but hasn't named them all. Names from the game files circulate on fan wikis. We'll add them once Blizzard confirms them or the raid opens.

Why 10 players

Barrow Deeps is the small raid of the three opening on 9 December, next to Hyjal Summit for 20 and Onyxia's Lair for 40. Blizzard calls it the maximum-level challenge for 10-player groups, which suits guilds that can't field 20 or 40 yet.
