How to unlock every zone in Azeroth Survivors

Azeroth Survivors has 12 zones in v0.103.1. You start in Elwynn Forest. Each later zone opens when you defeat the final boss of the zone before it. A locked zone tells you what to do: “Locked · defeat [boss] in [zone]”. The zone reference has the full table; this guide is the route and how to prepare for each step.

Each class unlocks zones on its own

Zone progress belongs to the class, not to your account. The hero picker shows “Zones open” as a count out of 12 for the class you pick. The Saves screen describes your save as holding “the zones each class has opened”. So a new class starts again in Elwynn Forest, even if another class has reached Naxxramas.

Gear works the same way. The Armory says gear and looks “are kept per class”, and bosses drop pieces for your class. Clearing a zone on one class does not equip another.

When a final boss falls, the end screen shows “Victory!” and “New zone unlocked” with the next zone’s name. You can also choose “Keep fighting (endless)” to stay in the cleared zone.

Prepare before you move on

Final boss health ranges from 52,500 (Elwynn Forest, Duskwood, Warsong Gulch, Un'Goro Crater) to 60,000 (Nefarian in Blackrock Mountain). It does not rise with every zone. The first boss of each zone has 3,600 in Elwynn Forest and 4,600 in Naxxramas. These suggestions follow from how the game stores progress:

• Collect gear in open zones. The Armory’s Drop Tables list what each zone drops for your class. When nothing is left, it says “nothing: open the next zone”. That is a useful signal that farming the current zone has stopped paying.
• Spend talent points. Runs earn talent experience for the class. Check the Talents screen for unspent points before a new zone. See talents and equipment.
• Keep difficulty at 100% while unlocking. Harder run options raise rewards up to x2, but they also make the boss harder. Raise them later to farm.
• Pick a sturdy class for the long route. Our class tier list compares the options.

If you are stuck on a final boss

Note which boss stops you and at what time. Surviving the clock is not enough: the next zone needs the boss defeated. Look at the zone page for its five bosses, then change one thing at a time, such as gear, talents or your spell upgrades.
