The Mogu'shan Palace becomes available to players level 87+ after completing the quest A Witness to History / A Witness to History in Kun-Lai Summit, opening the Gate of the August Celestials to the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. As the precursor to the nearby Mogu'shan Vaults raid, players must defeat one of the last strongholds of the Mogu.

During the first encounter, players will need to kill three bosses in succession, similar to the Beasts of Northrend fight in Wrath's Trial of the Crusader raid.
