How to get to Zaralek Cavern in Dragonflight patch 10.1

Dragonflight patch 10.1 opens up Zaralek Cavern, a whole new zone that offers thrilling Dragonriding challenges and subterranean wonders to explore — but before you can explore it, you need to get to it.

Players are initially directed to Zaralek Cavern after beginning the “Embers of Neltharion” campaign quest line. All three entrances to the new zone are clearly marked on the map with a new icon, but since they’re all caves, sometimes they can be easy to overlook. Here is how to find the entrances to the Cavern.

Iridikron’s Gambit

Reaching the first entrance — called Iridkron’s Gambit — in Cascades Canyon requires only a short dragon flight from Valdrakken over the border into the Ohn’ahran Plains. Fly southwest from the Valdrakken flight master and dive into the canyon (coordinates 29.9 63.1 from the Thaldraszus map.) The entrance is glowing red hot from Iridkron’s flaming descent into the depths of the earth, so it’s easy to spot.

This entrance can also be easily accessed by taking the flight path to Timberstep Outpost in the Ohn’ahran Plains, and heading southeast (coordinates 86.6 28.7). There is no convenient land route to this entrance, so take the plunge in a screaming dive from dragon back.

Three-Falls Lookout

The Three-Falls Lookout entrance is just across the border from Ohn’ahran Plains, into The Azure Span. The entrance is directly adjacent to the flight path of the same name, at coordinates 18, 23.

The Old Loamm Road

The Old Loamm Road entrance can be accessed from the Teerakai, Ohn’ahran Plains flight path. Just follow the road heading downhill from Teerakai and the entrance will be to the right when you see some Spotted Rockfangs (coordinates 35.9, 59.4). The Rockfangs will attack, so don’t linger if you’re on foot or riding a ground mount.

Entering the caves will provide a whole new experience for players, from the usual new quests and areas to explore to new Dragonriding glyphs. The winding tunnels are large enough to ride on dragonback, allowing for a challenging flight of twists and turns. It’s an environment designed to accommodate Dragonriding from the start, so there will be plenty to find on your own — once you get there.
