Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Kolurg/Stoutbeard: This boss has different names based on faction. Prioritize killing his priests first by CCing one and having a non-tank aggro the other. DPS both down before focusing on the boss. Position yourself in the hall behind you to avoid his fear sending you into other mobs. Dodge his spin attack; if you lag, back away until it stops. The tank and healer should be able to survive for a while, allowing DPS to focus on burning him down.
  2. 2
    Grand Magus Telestra: This pure caster fight requires resistances, interrupts, and good DPS. Key abilities include 'yo-yo,' which flings you around and stops DPS, and clones. Telestra disappears at 70% and 30% health, summoning three clones (purple, blue, red) that can be crowd-controlled. Surviving the clones makes the rest of the fight easier. Save cooldowns for the clone phase.
  3. 3
    Anomalus: Primarily a healing check. Anomalus spawns rifts that summon adds and deal constant nature damage. It's not crucial to kill the first rift; send lower DPS to deal with these weaker rifts. When 'chaotic rifts' appear, everyone should focus on them as the boss is immune while they are active. The fight scales over time, but good healing allows for consistent DPS.
  4. 4
    Ormorok: A tank-and-spank fight. Melee players should stand directly under him in the center to avoid spike attacks. Ranged players need to dodge them. Burn cooldowns during his enrage phase towards the end of the fight.
  5. 5
    Keristrasza: The most challenging boss. Constant movement is essential; jumping up and down is recommended to remove a stacking debuff that deals significant damage. If frozen, have someone cleanse it or use your own abilities to break free. Casters should use quick casts and damage-over-time spells. Melee should stand at her sides, avoiding the front and back where attacks are strongest (only the tank should be at her front). Burn cooldowns during her enrage and DPS her down.
Tips
  • For Kolurg/Stoutbeard, coordinate CC on priests and focus DPS.
  • For Grand Magus Telestra, save DPS cooldowns for the clone phase and manage interrupts.
  • For Anomalus, prioritize chaotic rifts when they appear.
  • For Ormorok, stay under him if melee, dodge spikes if ranged, and use cooldowns on enrage.
  • For Keristrasza, never stand still; jump constantly and position yourself correctly.
