The ‘Story Mode’ version of the latest raid is now available.
World of Warcraft players have spent years asking Blizzard to let them do raids without a full group of players so they can just see how the story ends. Starting today in The War Within, that will finally be possible—with some minor caveats.
‘Story Mode’ is a new difficulty setting available for The War Within’s first raid, Nerub-ar Palace. It lets you walk into the raid as a solo player (or with up to nine other players) and fight the last boss at a reduced difficulty, essentially giving the expansion’s campaign a proper finale. The boss won’t drop normal raid loot, but it’ll let you turn in one final quest with its own rewards.
To access Story Mode, you have to finish the entire campaign, including the quests that only unlock once you reach the level 80 cap.
