Where is Gruul's Lair In Classic TBC?


Gruul's Lair is one of the three Raids available during Phase 1 of Classic The Burning Crusade, and one of two available without any attunement quest required.

Gruul's Lair can be found to the north of Blades Edge Mountains, guarded by many Elite Ogres, making it quite tough to get through unless you have a flying mount.

Blades Edge Mountains can be tough to traverse itself without a flying mount as it filled with splintered mountain peaks, large valleys, and canyons.

If you wish to run there yourself, you can follow the path north of Ruuan Weald which will take you down into the valley. Keep running north until you find the elite ogre camp, and either fight your way through or simply just run through to the end and you will see the large cave entrance.
