FIGHT OVERVIEW
  • Single phase encounter with 2 different dimensions: one with the boss "upstairs" and one with adds "downstairs."

  • The boss is static in a pool of blood with platforms that surround him. Don't go swimming.

  • The boss summons adds downstairs that can only be killed by players downstairs. Set up 2 groups to alternate going downstairs.

  • One half of the raid gets hit by the boss' breath which sends them downstairs. Kill the adds.

  • You can't interact with players in the other dimension, but you can always see and attack the boss.

Heroic Changes
  • Shortly after sending players downstairs, the boss shoots 2 rotating beams on each side of him that slowly turn counter-clockwise.

  • The beams are lethal upstairs and downstairs. Move around the boss to dodge them.

  • Most adds downstairs are static. Maneuver the boss upstairs so that the beams start in a position that doesn't prevent downstairs players from killing the adds.

Mythic Changes
  • Regularly, all players are marked with a circle that explodes, dealing heavy damage to anyone nearby. Spread out and stop moving.

Phase 1
