Master The Oculus, a 4-badge dungeon in World of Warcraft: Midnight. Learn strategies for Drakos, Varos, Urom, and Eregos.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Drakos: This is a simple tank and spank encounter. The boss has a pull attack and a bomb debuff that requires the affected player to move away. Focus on healing through these mechanics.
  2. 2
    Varos: You must clear the 10 constructs to break Varos's bubble. Kill the drakes above him as you may pull them. Spread out to avoid lasers and heal through the encounter.
  3. 3
    Urom: Kite Urom around the rings of the arena, engaging him in the middle. Maintain a distance of about 10 feet from cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) and hide during his explosions when he teleports. A strong DPS and healing group can tank and spank him. Keep 10-20 feet from cover, but do not hide behind it to avoid frost effects.
  4. 4
    Eregos: The standard setup involves 1 red, 1 green, and 3 amber drakes. The tank uses the red drake. Time-stop abilities are crucial after the tank takes significant damage, with specific players executing them in order. Amber drakes maintain their channel and fire a lance. The healer focuses on keeping stacks on the boss and healing the tank. Eregos will fade twice and send orbs; have the group move together left or right and resume the fight after the orbs explode. Adds should be killed by the tank's attacks. An all-amber drake setup is an alternative if the group can coordinate well.
Tips
  • Do not PUG (Pick Up Group) this instance; go with experienced guildmates or a pre-made group.
  • The drakes used for movement and the final boss fight scale with player gear, making well-geared players essential.
  • For Urom, position yourself away from cover when hiding from explosions to avoid frost effects.
