The World of Warcraft Race to World First returned for Nerub-ar Palace in The War Within. Here’s who won, who the bosses are, and how to watch the Nerub-ar Palace Race to World First.
The WoW Nerub-ar Palace Race to World First started on Sept. 17 and will ran until a team took down the final boss. Each time a new expansion is released, like The War Within, sponsors and organizations pool efforts to put on the Race to World First event. A guild secured the World First final boss kill on Sept. 29.
Who are the Race to World First Nerub-ar Palace bosses?
The Nerub-ar Palace raid has eight bosses that guilds must defeat in the Race to World First. Guilds have specific start times depending on region location and can’t advance until the boss for that level has been beaten. Queen Ansurek is the final boss.
- Ulgrax the Devourer: Melee Mechanics were the first to defeat this boss.
- The Bloodhound Horror: Melee Mechanics were the first to defeat this boss.
- Sikran: Team Liquid were the first to defeat this boss.
- Rasha’nan: Team Liquid were the first to defeat this boss.
- Broodtwister Ovi’nax: Team Liquid were the first to defeat this boss.
- Nexus Princess Ky’veza: Team Liquid were the first to defeat this boss.
- The Silken Court: Team Liquid were the first to defeat this boss.
- Queen Ansurek: Team Liquid were the first to defeat this boss.
Once they’ve defeated Rasha’nan, guilds must take on Nexus Princess Ky’veza or Broodtwister Ovi’nax. The Silken Court is the second-to-last raid boss, with the first to defeat Queen Ansurek determining the overall winner of The War Within Race to World First Nerub-ar Palace.
Who is winning the Race to World First Nerub-ar Palace?

Team Echo won the Dragonflight Race to World First, with Team Liquid coming in second. Echo also won the Race to World First before that for Shadowlands, making this a star-studded event.
