Queue for The Serpent Warren, Venomous Abyss Raid Finder Wing 3, and prepare for The Lost Explorers and Sszorak when it opens after your region's weekly reset.
Answer first
Quick Answer
Venomous Abyss Raid Finder Wing 3 is The Serpent Warren. Blizzard schedules it for the week of September 2, 2026, after each region's weekly maintenance. It contains The Lost Explorers and Sszorak. Check Raid Finder in game for your region's live availability and current item-level requirement before queueing.

Unlock schedule
Blizzard lists Raid Finder Wing 3 for the week of September 2, 2026. Weekly maintenance is regional, so do not assume every realm opens at the same clock time. The reliable check is the Raid Finder interface after maintenance for your region.
How to queue
Open Group Finder, choose Raid Finder, and look for The Serpent Warren under The Venomous Abyss. The interface shows the current character requirement. If the wing is absent, confirm regional maintenance is complete and that your character meets the live requirement.
Bosses included
Use the Venomous Abyss raid hub for the full wing schedule, difficulty availability, and boss navigation. The Season 2 guide connects the raid to the current weekly progression loop.
Before entering
- Repair and bring consumables appropriate to your role.
- Read the two boss quick strategies before the queue pops.
- Use the live Adventure Guide for ability text; hotfixes can change tuning after publication.
Quick Start
Open Raid Finder after regional maintenance and select The Serpent Warren.

WoW 12.1 Curse of Ula'tek Campaign Skip: Can Alts Skip It?
WoW 12.1 has an alt skip for the Legacy of the Amani campaign chapter. Blizzard's August 25, 2026 hotfix fixed an issue that stopped Soridormi from offering that skip. This does not confirm a one-click skip for every Curse of Ula'tek chapter: availability depends on account completion, character eligibility, and the campaign step your alt has reached.
