This is the first-run page, not the definition of the game. You already know it is a survivor-like. Here are the keys and the five Elwynn bosses in the order the official menu printed.
The dated official menu records five Elwynn bosses, ending with Edwin VanCleef at 16:00. Main card and movement inputs are visible in that menu. Extra controls from the community rebuild are separated below.
Finish the opening of an Azeroth Survivors run
- Enter Elwynn. Choose any class. Elwynn Forest is the zone that starts unlocked.
- Move and draft. Use WASD. When the level-up cards appear, press 1, 2, or 3. R rerolls.
- Watch the clock. Hogger is marked at 3:00 on the official Elwynn row. VanCleef is at 16:00.
First-run choices
Pick a class and the initially open Elwynn Forest. Move into free space while attacks fire automatically. At a level-up, read the three card descriptions: strengthen an attack you already use when available, and consider a defensive or movement option if enemies are reaching you. This is editorial advice, not a guaranteed random-card sequence.
After a defeat, return to the menu and check the class talent XP and any permanent gear. Keep the same class while learning its attacks, then use the class guide to choose a coherent talent direction. A final-boss clear advances the documented zone chain.
| Menu time | Boss |
|---|---|
| 3:00 | Hogger |
| 6:00 | Mother Fang |
| 9:00 | Rhahk’Zor |
| 12:00 | Mr. Smite |
| 16:00 | Edwin VanCleef |
Keys
WASD moves. Holding both mouse buttons also moves. The official menu screenshot supports these main movement/card inputs. Space, F, C, G and wheel bindings appear in the separate community rebuild control notes; this guide does not certify those bindings for every official build. 1, 2, and 3 pick a level-up card. R rerolls. Enter starts or restarts.
The first zone’s clock
Elwynn Forest is open at the start. The menu subtitle is The Defias Uprising, and the last boss is Edwin VanCleef at 16:00. The community zone guide describes boss enrage below 30%; this is an attributed guide claim, not a measurement from these screenshots. Killing the last boss clears the zone and can open Endless. Endless was a string in the client, not a mode I entered.
Cards have quality colors from common through legendary. The same name ranks up. The level-up screenshot on this page is the community rebuild, so use it for the three-card layout only.
Questions
How long is the first zone?
The official Elwynn row ends at 16:00 with Edwin VanCleef. The community rebuild uses 15:00. Those are different builds.
Sources and verification limits
Checked 2026-10-28. Two independent publishers are needed to call a claim confirmed. A menu, screenshot and script from Aethus count as one publisher. Exact menu HP, racial values and dated build identifiers are single-source observations. A video or a general game report does not independently verify every number. Missing values remain unreported; disagreements stay attributed.
