Here is how Season 2 of The War Within shook out across raiding, Mythic+, and PvP after it opened on March 4, 2025.
New Raid: Liberation of Undermine
Season 2's marquee addition was the eight-boss Liberation of Undermine raid, set inside the gaudy halls of the Gallagio in Undermine rather than out in the open Ringing Deeps. It opened the week after the patch and ran across Story Mode, Raid Finder, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic. The campaign worked toward Chrome King Gallywix, the trade-prince's towering mech form and the raid's final encounter.
| Location | Difficulties | Raid Finder Item Level | Number of Bosses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Undermine (the Gallagio) | Story, Raid Finder, Normal, Heroic, Mythic | 606 | 8 |
With the raid roster set, the season's dungeon side opened up just as much new ground.
New Dungeon and Mythic+ Rotation
The season introduced Operation: Floodgate, a four-boss dungeon in the Ringing Deeps where the Darkfuse cartel and the Venture Company tried to sabotage the region's waterworks and flood it. It dropped straight into the Mythic+ rotation alongside a refreshed eight-dungeon pool.
Season 2 Mythic+ Pool
The Season 2 lineup mixed five War Within dungeons with three returning fan favorites from older expansions:
- Operation: Floodgate
- Cinderbrew Meadery
- The Rookery
- Darkflame Cleft
- Priory of the Sacred Flame
- The MOTHERLODE!! (Battle for Azeroth)
- Operation: Mechagon - Workshop (Battle for Azeroth)
- Theater of Pain (Shadowlands)
Pushing keys in that pool fed into the season's signature Mythic+ reward.
Keystone Master Reward
Climbing the Mythic+ ladder unlocked Feats of Strength at set rating thresholds. Reaching 2,000 Mythic+ rating earned Keystone Master: Season Two and its reward, the Crimson Shreddertank, a goblin-built tank mount themed to fit Undermine's industrial sprawl.
PvP: Cage of Carnage and Season 2 Rewards
PvP picked up a new arena, the Cage of Carnage, tucked inside the Demolition Dome. Its tight, hazard-lined layout rewarded fast positioning and punished overextension.
The seasonal reward track ran on rated play. The Vicious Electro Eel was the faction-locked grind reward, earned by filling the season's rated win bar from a 1,000-rating floor, while the elite cosmetics sat at the top of the ladder.
| Requirement | Reward | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 rating + fill the seasonal win bar | Vicious Electro Eel | Faction-locked to your side (Horde or Alliance variant). |
| 2,400 rating (Elite) | Prized Gladiator's Tabard | Part of the Elite reward set for the season. |
| 2,400 rating (Gladiator) + 50 wins in 3v3 | Prized Gladiator's Fel Bat | The season's prestige Gladiator mount. |
Those seasonal PvP rewards retired when Season 2 ended in the summer of 2025, so the eel, tabard, and Fel Bat are no longer obtainable on the live game. With the season's content covered, here are the questions players asked most about The War Within Season 2.
