How to Get to the Sunken Temple (Temple of Atal'Hakkar)
The Sunken Temple, also called the Temple of Atal'Hakkar, is a level 50-60 dungeon: a flooded temple of the Atal'ai cult in the center of the lake in the Swamp of Sorrows. It is one of classic's most atmospheric and maze-like dungeons. First you need to reach the Swamp of Sorrows and find the underwater entrance.
Contents
◆Where the Sunken Temple is
The temple stands in the lake at the center of the Swamp of Sorrows, a marshy zone in the southeast of the Eastern Kingdoms. Only the tip of the green temple shows above the water; the main entrance is hidden below the surface at the base of the structure.
◆How to reach the Swamp of Sorrows
Horde have it easiest: the outpost of Stonard in the Swamp of Sorrows has a flight master. Fly to Stonard and head north to the lake.
Alliance have no flight path in the zone in classic, so they travel on foot: from Duskwood through Deadwind Pass to the east, or up from the Blasted Lands in the south. Stick to the roads — the swamp is patrolled by aggressive level 40-50 mobs.
Entrance: dive into the lake
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Reach the green temple at the center of the lake |
| 2 | Dive underwater to the base of the structure |
| 3 | Find the opening and swim up into the inner hall |
| 4 | Inside, the dungeon portal is on the lower level |
Tip: on x5 a group forms fast, but newcomers should study the hall map first — the temple is multi-level and easy to get lost in. For a full boss and orb-quest breakdown see the Sunken Temple dungeon page.

The key mechanic is activating the six yellow orbs in the correct order around the central chamber to summon Jammal'an. On x5 an experienced group does this in a minute, but a wrong order makes the statues spawn extra enemies. Assign one player to click the orbs strictly in sequence.
