If you’re a fan of story-driven content in World of Warcraft and prefer to experience the game at a more relaxed pace, you’re in luck. A Story Mode version of the latest raid, Liberation of Undermine, is available to pick up during the Undermine campaign, allowing you to battle the final boss.
Popping up during the first season of The War Within, the Story Mode feature allows players to explore current-tier raids at their own pace, playing on a “narrative-focused difficulty level” and offering a lucrative quest reward instead of boss drops.
How to unlock Liberation of Undermine raid Story Mode in TWW
The Story Mode for Liberation of Undermine unlocked in WoW on March 11, along with the second Raid Finder Wing, featuring Sprocketmonger Lockenstock and Stix Bunkjunker. The Story Mode version of the raid only features the final boss, Chrome King Gallywix.
To get inside the Story Mode version of the Undermine raid, you need to make significant progress with the main campaign in the Undermine zone. If you’ve not completed it already, you can follow along with our full TWW campaign quest list here.
There are six individual chapters in the main Undermine storyline and completing the final quest in the fifth chapter—Right Where We Want Him—will take you straight into the final chapter, which begins with a quest called Liberation of Undermine: The House Loses.
Monte Gazlowe offers this quest in the Incontinental Hotel, asking you to defeat Chrome King Gallywix inside the raid.
It’s a lucrative quest that doesn’t take too long to complete, and it’ll help you progress with the Undermine meta achievement as well. Finishing the quest rewards you with Gold, an Enchanted Runed Undermine Crest, and a Void-Touched Valorstone.
To enter the Story Mode of Liberation of Undermine, speak to Paks Topskimmer at the front desk of the Incontinental Hotel. He has a dialogue option that will become available once you’ve completed the five chapters of the Undermine campaign.
Even if you’re not usually a fan of lower-difficulty content, it’s worth dipping into the Story Mode raid at least once to pick up the list of rewards and snag the achievement for killing Gallywix.
If you’re looking for more PvE content to dig into while gearing your character in Patch 11.1 of WoW, it’s the perfect time to explore the new Delves on offer in the Undermine zone. Sidestreet Sluice and Excavation Site 9 both feature their own unique enemies and rewards.
You can tackle Delves on many difficulty levels depending on your preferences, and Brann now has a Tank specialization, making it easier for squishier characters to dig into the trickier levels and offering a lot more variety in the Delve experience.
