Lost City of the Tol'vir Mythic+ guide for Warspring, the free Cataclysm 4.3.4 private server. Lost City of the Tol'vir is one of the eight dungeons of Mythic+ Season 2, with a 12 minute timer and 5 fights to learn. Below you find the story of the dungeon, what every boss does and how to beat it, and everything that is special about running LCTV on Warspring.

About Lost City of the Tol'vir

Uldum hides the lost city of the Tol'vir, the cat-people who once served the titans as guardians. Their last pharaoh, Siamat, was sealed in the Vault of Lights, and the Neferset and the Ramkahen now fight over what is left. The dungeon runs from the outer ruins down into the city and ends at the storm lord himself.

It has the shortest timer of the season, 12 minutes, so the best groups pull as much as they can and rely on a strong tank and interrupts.

Lost City of the Tol'vir on Warspring Mythic+ (Season 2)

  • Timer: 12 minutes. Beat it to time the key; a timed key upgrades your keystone and pays the full rewards, an untimed run pays less and depletes the key.
  • Affixes: Fortified (every pack of trash is tougher), Tyrannical (bosses have more health and hit harder) and Get Excited (kills give you haste and speed). The set is the same for every Season 2 key.
  • Key levels: keys start at +2 and go up to +60. Every level is a bigger step than in Season 1, and the rewards keep growing up to +45.
  • Entering: the Teleporter Stone has a Mythic menu that takes you straight into Lost City of the Tol'vir on Heroic difficulty. Start the key at the entrance and the countdown begins.
  • Rewards: from key level +20 every Season 2 dungeon drops Dusktide Crests, the currency for the Level 15 to Level 20 Mythic+ gear upgrades at Zaphon (weapons) and Vorgash (armor and jewelry). Higher keys drop more crests, and the Legend (VIP 8) gems are bought with them as well.
  • Daily contract: Warden Veyra, standing next to Zaphon, gives one daily quest for every Season 2 dungeon. Complete Lost City of the Tol'vir in time at +20 or higher and you receive five times the crests that key drops.
  • Leaderboards: your best timed run in Lost City of the Tol'vir counts for your rating. See the Mythic+ leaderboards, the latest runs and the best runs.

Lost City of the Tol'vir bosses and strategy

General Husam

A Tol'vir general who throws shockwaves and plants mines. Watch the floor, move out of the explosions as soon as they appear and never fight him on top of a trap.

Lockmaw

The giant crocodile of the Lockmaw pool. Stay away from the poison clouds, kill the small crocodiles that spawn and handle the debuff that spreads between players. If the fight goes well, Augh joins in.

Augh

The bonus fight of the dungeon. A whirling dervish that hits the closest player and keeps moving; stay at range, kite out of the whirlwind and let the tank hold the aggro away from the healer.

High Prophet Barim

A priest who revives and heals his allies. Kill the adds fast, stay out of the pools and interrupt the healing casts so the fight does not become a stalemate.

Siamat

The storm lord ends the dungeon with winds, lightning and servants. Separate the adds, avoid the storm clouds and keep the group together when the tempest arrives. Healing cooldowns decide this fight.

Tips for a timed Lost City of the Tol'vir key

  • The 12 minute timer is short: pull big and use Get Excited for the long corridors.
  • Augh counts as an optional boss; decide before you start whether you want the extra time.
  • Tyrannical raises every boss, so Siamat and Barim need your cooldowns.
