Dungeons & Raid in WoW WotLK Timewalking
The main draw of Wrath of the Lich King Timewalking in WoW Dragonflight is to experience the iconic Ulduar raid, where Yogg-Saron, the "lucid dream, the monster in your nightmares, and the fiend of a thousand faces," awaits. For the event, the raid is set to Normal, so you can't go through Raid Finder.
Please note: Players level 60 and above are eligible to participate.
Instead, Blizzard explains how you can join the Ulduar raid in WotLK Timewalking:
You can assemble a raid group of between 10 and 30 players, travel to Dalaran in Northrend, and speak with Vormu to access a Timewalking version of the Ulduar raid. The raid scales for your group size and your level and gear will be scaled to match the raid’s challenges.
You can also use the WoW Group Finder (I). Create your own group in the Premade Groups section, or search for like-minded adventurers.

The WoW Wrath of the Lich King Timewalking bonus event also features six heroic dungeons to enjoy. Check out an official description of all the Heroic dungeons in WotLK Timewalking below:
Azjol Nerub:
Azjol-Nerub was an empire of great strength when the Lich King arrived in Northrend. Despite ferocious resistance, however, Scourge forces managed to overtake the subterranean kingdom and slaughter its inhabitants, the nerubians. Scarred by years of war and abandonment, this vast domain is now occupied on two fronts.
Gundrak:
Desperate to save their kingdom from collapse the trolls of Zul’Drak have turned on their ancient gods. The wild deities are now considered a source of untapped power, their potent blood providing the means to repel the Lich King’s minions, who have overtaken parts of the troll nation. Heroes have recently journeyed to the beleaguered region to strike at the savage Drakkari and their maddened prophets.
Halls of Lightning:
Upon departing Azeroth, the titans entrusted loyal protectors with safeguarding Ulduar, an enigmatic city nestled in the mountains of the Storm Peaks. Designated supreme among his brethren was the guardian known as Loken, but with the power of the titan complex in his hands, he turned to darkness and plunged the region into chaos.
The Forge of Souls:
For many years champions among the races of Azeroth have stood against the Lich King only to be slaughtered mercilessly and forced to serve in his army of undead horrors. In his ongoing struggle to stop the Lich King, Tirion Fordring of the Argent Crusade has joined forces with Darion Mograine of the knights of the Ebon Blade in order to assault Icecrown Citadel with a unified army called the Ashen Verdict.
The Nexus"
In order to reestablish his dominance over magic, the blue Dragon Aspect, Malygos has launched a ruthless campaign to sever the link between mortals and the arcane energies coursing through Azeroth. To this end, his blue dragonflight is redirecting the ley lines of the world to the Nexus, Malygos’ towering lair.
Utgarde Keep:
Utgarde Keep was long thought to be abandoned, a relic of a lost civilization among the central cliffs of the Howling Fjord. Yet in recent days something has roused the fortress’ slumbering residents, the vrykul.
So there you have it, everything you need to know about Wrath of the Lich King Timewalking, from the WoW Dragonflight rewards players can get, to the quests, bonus, dungeons, and the awesome Ulduar raid. Good luck!
