The March on Quel’Danas — Raid Guide
The March on Quel’Danas is the climactic raid instance of the Midnight expansion — a tightly tuned, two-boss gauntlet on the Isle of Quel’Danas. Both encounters lean hard on raid coordination, so this guide walks through what each fight asks of your team.
Location: Isle of Quel’Danas. Drop your waypoint with:
/way #2424 52.6 87.5
The instance runs two bosses back to back: Belo’ren and Midnight Falls (L’ura).
Belo’ren
Belo’ren is a demanding multi-phase encounter built around opposing Light and Void energy mechanics. The whole fight is a test of how cleanly the raid can read and react together.
Key mechanics:
- Eruption — Match the correct color and interrupt the corresponding Phoenix. Miss it and the raid wipes.
- Orb Walls — Players on alternating teams clear lanes for one another so the orbs don’t bounce lethally. Coordination between the two groups is everything here.
- Guardian’s Edict — Manage Light, Void, and Dual soaks in a precise sequence. Get the order wrong and the boss picks up massive damage buffs.
- Eternal Burns — Affected targets take heavy damage-over-time. Healers need to focus burst healing on them to keep those players up.

Midnight Falls (L’ura)
Midnight Falls is a three-phase fight with a short intermission. It rewards flawless positioning and disciplined add control.
- Phase One — the Memory Game: The boss displays five symbols in order. Five random players each receive a symbol and must line up around the boss in that clockwise sequence to survive the sweeping laser. Tanks taunt swap at five stacks of Heaven’s Lance.
- Intermission: A Safeguard Prism spawns and shields the boss. Spam interrupts, dispels, and spellsteals to strip the adds’ buffs.
- Phase Two: Manage the Midnight Crystals and the two yellow Dust Crystals. Assign ranged DPS to heal the Dust Crystals to full so they transform — this grants the extra action buttons the raid will need for the final phase.
- Phase Three: When L’ura casts Dark Archangel, the crystal holders use their extra action button to throw up a protective bubble over the entire raid.
To master the memory game and survive the healing checks in the final phase:
