With the World of Warcraft 3.3.5 patch we see the release of another raid instance for players to try and complete before the release of Cataclysm. The new raid is designed in the same way as the Obsidian Sanctum in that it hosts three mini bosses and one main dragon boss. The fight is multi-phased and challenging for anyone not kitted out with Icecrown Citadel Gear. Luckily Byron "Messiah" Mudry is here to walk you through to fights so that as soon as the raid goes live you can get in there and grab some shiny new loot.

The final boss in the Ruby Sanctum is the dragon Halion. Halion has several abilities and mechanics that need to be dealt with. In addition the space you have to deal with Halion becomes limited once the fight starts as a fire wall appears around the circular center area to prevent players from spreading out too far. In addition players need to contend with three different phases in order to defeat Halion.

You can find all the details in our guide to the Ruby Sanctum.
