Onyxia attunement: the Drakefire Amulet

Everyone entering Onyxia's Lair needs a Drakefire Amulet in their bags; you don't have to equip it. Bring friends for the questline, since some steps involve elite quests.

  • Both faction questlines take you through Blackrock Depths or Blackrock Spire and finish with General Drakkisath's blood.
  • On Horde, you'll also do The Test of Skulls quests against Scryer, Somnus, Chronalis and Axtroz.
