Overview
Uldaman is a titan vault buried under the Badlands. Stonevault troggs have overrun its halls, the Shadowforge dwarves are digging for its secrets, and at the bottom sleeps Archaedas, the Ancient Stone Watcher.
It's a long, winding run, and it carries more quests than any dungeon before Blackrock Depths: 29 between the two factions, from quick collection jobs to a necklace chain for each side. The bosses get tougher the deeper you go, so make sure your group can handle Archaedas before you commit to the full clear.
Getting there
The entrance sits on the northern edge of the Badlands, right by the Loch Modan border, inside the Uldaman dig site. Alliance players fly to Thelsamar in Loch Modan and ride south. Horde players fly to Kargath, on the Badlands' western edge, and ride northeast.

Quests
Uldaman's quests come in chains, and several continue inside the dungeon. Pick up what your faction offers before you zone in, and loot every quest item you find.
Both factions
- Power Stones: 8 Dentrium Power Stones and 8 An'Alleum Power Stones for Rigglefuzz in the Badlands.
- Solution to Doom: bring the Tablet of Ryun'eh to Theldurin the Lost.
- The Platinum Discs: speak with the stone watcher to learn its lore, then activate the Discs of Norgannon. The follow-up takes a miniature copy of the Discs home: The Platinum Discs to the Explorers' League in Ironforge, or The Platinum Discs to one of the sages in Thunder Bluff.
Alliance
- A Sign of Hope: find Hammertoe Grez in Uldaman. Amulet of Secrets has you find Hammertoe's Amulet and return it to him.
- Agmond's Fate: 4 Carved Stone Urns for Prospector Ironband in Loch Modan.
- The Lost Dwarves: find Baelog in Uldaman. The Hidden Chamber has you read Baelog's Journal, explore the hidden chamber and report to Prospector Stormpike.
- Uldaman Reagent Run: 12 Magenta Fungus Caps for Ghak Healtouch in Thelsamar.
- Reclaimed Treasures: take Krom Stoutarm's treasured possession from his chest in the North Common Hall of Uldaman to him in Ironforge.
- The Lost Tablets of Will: find the Tablet of Will for Advisor Belgrum in Ironforge.
- The necklace chain for Talvash del Kissel in Ironforge: The Shattered Necklace (find the original creator of the Shattered Necklace), Lore for a Price (five Silver Bars for Talvash), Back to Uldaman (search Uldaman for clues, since the slain paladin had it last), Find the Gems (find the ruby, sapphire and topaz, then contact Talvash with his Phial of Scrying) and Restoring the Necklace (something to power the necklace, taken from the most powerful construct in Uldaman). Restoring the Necklace is Talvash handing over the finished necklace. Lose the phial and Replacement Phial gets you a new one for a Mana Potion, Coal and Sweet Nectar.
Horde
- The necklace chain between Dran Droffers in Orgrimmar and Jarkal Mossmeld in Kargath: Necklace Recovery (find the Shattered Necklace in the Uldaman dig site), Necklace Recovery, Take 2 (a clue to the gems' whereabouts in the depths of Uldaman), Translating the Journal and Translating the Journal (get the paladin's journal translated in Kargath, where Jarkal borrows the necklace in exchange), Find the Gems and Power Source (all three gems, plus something to power the necklace from the strongest construct in Uldaman), Deliver the Gems (the necklace and gem salvage to Dran Droffers) and Necklace Recovery, Take 3 (visit Jarkal in Kargath to see if he succeeded).
- Uldaman Reagent Run: 12 Magenta Fungus Caps for Jarkal Mossmeld in Kargath.
- Reclaimed Treasures: take Patrick Garrett's family treasure from the family chest in the South Common Hall of Uldaman to him in the Undercity.

Bosses
The Lost Dwarves are three elites, Baelog, Olaf and Eric "The Swift", and they fight as one encounter. Plan the pull for all three. They're humanoids, so crowd-control one if your group can, and kill the others one at a time. Each dwarf's own drops are on his card.
The Lost Dwarves asks Alliance players to find Baelog in Uldaman.

Revelosh matters for more than his gear: he drops The Shaft of Tsol. Attach the Gni'kiv Medallion to it to make the Staff of Prehistoria. The medallion is in Baelog's Chest, where you fight The Lost Dwarves.
Place the staff at the Keystone in the Uldaman map room and the Seal of Khaz'Mul opens: that's the way to Ironaya.
- Revelosh's Spaulders (Uncommon)
- Revelosh's Armguards (Uncommon)
- Revelosh's Gloves (Uncommon)
- Revelosh's Boots (Uncommon)
- The Shaft of Tsol (Common)
Ironaya waits behind the Seal of Khaz'Mul. To open it, place the Staff of Prehistoria at the Keystone in the map room (see Revelosh).
She's a giant and a heavy melee hitter. Tank her facing away from the group, and keep everyone else behind her or at range.
Casters and healers want her Stoneweaver Leggings, cloth legs with Spirit, Stamina and Intellect.

Healer
Damage
- Ironaya's Bracers (Rare)
- Stoneweaver Leggings (Rare)
- Ironshod Bludgeon (Rare)
The Obsidian Sentinel is a construct that breaks off Obsidian Shards as the fight goes on. The shards aren't elite: let the tank gather them, AoE them down, then get back on the Sentinel. It drops the Obsidian Power Source that the necklace chains ask for.
Tank
Healer
Damage
- Obsidian Power Source (Common)
The Ancient Stone Keeper is an elemental guardian of the vault. During the fight it summons Sand Storms to fight at its side. Anyone who stands next to a Sand Storm is slowed to a crawl and can't cast spells, so keep your casters and healer clear of them until they blow out. Pull the Keeper into a cleared space with room to move.
Its Rockshard Pauldrons are mail shoulders with Intellect and Spirit, a strong pick-up for mail casters and healers.
Tank
Healer
Damage
- Cragfists (Rare)
- Rockshard Pauldrons (Uncommon)
Galgann Firehammer is an elite dwarf, and the boss to kill if you want a gun: he drops Galgann's Fireblaster. Clear the area around him first so he fights alone.
- Flameseer Mantle (Rare)
- Galgann's Fireblaster (Rare)
- Emberscale Cape (Uncommon)
- Galgann's Firehammer (Uncommon)
Grimlok, the Stonevault Chieftain, leads the troggs. He carries the Shattered Necklace Sapphire, one of the three gems both factions' necklace chains need, so don't skip him.
- Grimlok's Tribal Vestments (Rare)
- Grimlok's Charge (Rare)
- Oilskin Leggings (Uncommon)
- Shattered Necklace Sapphire (Common)
Archaedas, the Ancient Stone Watcher, is the last boss. He sleeps until someone uses the altar before him. Once he's up, he keeps waking his allies: Earthen Guardians through the fight, and Vault Warders later on. The Guardians aren't elite, so AoE them or kill them as they come. The Vault Warders are elites and need a tank of their own.
Two-handed melee are here for Stoneslayer, his two-handed sword.
Tank
Healer
Damage
- Archaedic Stone (Rare)
- The Rockpounder (Rare)
- Stoneslayer (Rare)
Trash and pulls
- Stonevault troggs and Shadowforge dwarves are humanoids, so humanoid crowd control works on them. The stone constructs and elementals are not.
- Pull casters and Shadowforge Sharpshooters around corners so they come to you instead of shooting from range.
- Kill any Healing Ward a caster drops the moment it lands.
- Uldaman is long. Clear what stands between you and the next boss or quest objective, and leave the rest.
Loot
Uldaman's loot climbs with its bosses, and the best of it comes from the last three. The standouts:
- Two-handed melee: Stoneslayer and The Rockpounder from Archaedas, and Grimlok's Charge from Grimlok, a polearm with Strength, Agility and Stamina.
- Healers and casters: Grimlok's Tribal Vestments from Grimlok and Stoneweaver Leggings from Ironaya. Mail wearers add Rockshard Pauldrons from the Ancient Stone Keeper.
- Leather: Oilskin Leggings from Grimlok, with Agility and Spirit.
- Tanks: Olaf's All Purpose Shield from Olaf.
- Ranged: Galgann's Fireblaster from Galgann Firehammer.

Tips
- Loot the Shattered Necklace if it drops for you: it begins a quest, and the Horde's Necklace Recovery asks for it.
- Grimlok's sapphire is one of the three gems both necklace chains need. Plan to kill him on every necklace run.
- Keep Talvash's Phial of Scrying in your bags: Find the Gems uses it to contact him.
- Combine The Shaft of Tsol and the Gni'kiv Medallion as soon as you have both: the Staff of Prehistoria opens the way to Ironaya.
- Save your cooldowns for Archaedas. The fight gets harder as his Vault Warders wake.
