The Prince Keleseth boss fight begins when you kill the last pack in the room with him. After pulling and killing the last pack, the prince will come straight for your party without a chance to rest.

It is important to mind the random Ice Tomb applied to players, these can be burnt down and should be if your party is low on healing. An ice tomb does approximately 8000 damage which leaves most level 70s either dead or very close to it.

In addition to ice tombs, the prince will summon 5 skeletons which can be crowd controlled, make sure they are grouped up when they die because they will be resurrected periodically throughout the fight and its easier to control them if theyre in a group.

Note: If possible its advisable to pull Prince Keleseth off the table in the center of the room as the chairs cause line of sight issues as well as it disrupts pathing with skeletons.

The Skarvald and Dalronn encounter is a twin boss fight much like Romeo & Juliet in Karazhan. They come together when pulled so be prepared to pick both of them up.

The kill order in this fight dosent matter so much, although when one dies, they spawn a spirit that is not targetable and behaves exactly as its alive counterpart. This means that it is suggested they both die roughly at the same time.

Dalronn is a caster-type and casts Shadowbolts while randomly dropping agro, Skarvald is a warrior type and will randomly charge a group member.

The preferred strategy is to dps Skarvald down to 10% then kill Dalronn, returning to finish off Skarvald. This is because when you kill Skarvald he usually will charge a random person (i.e. healer) and because he has no agro table, he will continue to attack them.

Ingvar is found speaking with two Vyrkul riding Proto-dragons at the end of his platform. Once he is agro'ed, the riders will fly away and will not bother your group for the duration of the fight. Make sure to tank Ingvar towards the end of the platform where he is standing and all casters need to stay max range from him. There are two phases to the fight and Ingvar has several devastating abilities, most of which have a cast time allowing the melee to get out of range. In phase 1, Ingvar will enrage early on and the enrage can stack up to 50 times increasing his attack speed by 5% per stack. He also casts Smash and Cleave which are both frontal cone abilities and have cast times allowing the tank to back away or for dps to move behind him. He also has Staggering Roar which deals damage and interrupts all spell casting for six seconds to all enemies within 60 yards. It is very important not to pull agro on this fight, especially if you are ranged, as you will most likely kill whoever is next to you if he happens to Cleave or Smash near any dps.

Once Ingvar dies, Annhylde the Caller appears and will resurrect Ingvar, making him the Lich King's undead servant. Once again, it is very important to keep Ingvar away from as much of the party as possible. Again he has an spell called Dreadful Roar that will interrupt spell casting for eight seconds and cause everyone to gain a debuff that increases shadow damage taken by 5%. This debuff is stackable. He can also place a curse on a party member that unless removed will cause the healer to take additional damage as well. Ingvar now has an upgraded Smash called Dark Smash that can be devastating unless the tank moves away when he begins to cast it. This ability will knockdown and stun the party for two seconds.

It is very important to have a curse removal in the party and to watch his casting bar in order to minimize the damage taken by not only the tank, but the entire party.

Special Abilities:

Strategy

Very simple Tank and Spank fight. You just have to move from time to time from the Crystal Spikes that appear in the ground to avoid damage. Casters should stop dps while the Spell Reflection last to avoid inflicting damage to themselves. Try to keep your cooldowns for the last 25% as he gets in an enrage and starts hiting harder.

Strategy

Start off by tanking Telestra towards the back of the room. She will cast Firebomb and Ice Nova and melee the tank. She also casts Gravity Well which tethers all party members to her and tosses them around the room causing everyone to take shadow damage. Group back up on one side and tank her on the other. At 50%, Telestra will split into three versions of herself: Arcane, Fire, and Frost. The fire version randomly scorches party members, but will stay on the tank for the majority of the time. Frost Telestra casts a room wide Blizzard, Frostbolt, and Ice Lance while the Arcane magus casts Time Stop which is a two second stun to all party members. The Arcane Magus also has the ability to sheep. If you do not have any form of crowd crontrol, then it is best to kill the Frost Magus first to minimize party damage. If you do not have someone who can cleanse or dispel the critter effect, it is best to kill the Arcane Magus next. Otherwise kill the Fire Magus after Frost to once again help minimize damage being done to the party. You can sheep or fear the magi if your party is capable and the magi can also be silenced. It is best to save silences for the Frost Magus's Blizzard if she is not CC'ed. After all three are killed, Telestra will re-assemble herself and continue to cast Firebomb and Gravity Well. Make sure to stay grouped up on one side so that the healer will be in range of everyone and to keep the party's health topped off in case she casts Gravity Well again.

Special Abilities:

Strategy

Anomalus should be tanked at the center of his platform to allow the group to move around him. Other party members should stay to one side in a semi-circle around him.

He opens Chaotic Rifts several times throughout the fight, making him smaller in size and invulnerable while the Rift is open. Each Rift spawns Crazed Mana Wraiths, caster mobs that fire arcan missiles quickly. As soon as a Rift opens all DPS should switch to it and burn it down as fast as possible. If any Crazed Mana Wraiths spawn, the tank should pick them up and they can be burned down after the Rift is closed. Once all Rifts and Wraiths are dead, DPS should return to Anomalus until another Rift opens and continue this cycle until he is dead.

Special Abilities:

Strategy

When the group approaches Keristrasza's location, she is frozen in a block of ice and cannot be attacked. She is freed by using the four orbs near her. Clear the area and then click on the orbs to begin the encounter.

The tank should pick Keristrasza up as soon as she is released to prevent aggro and debuffs on other group members. She should be positioned parallel to the group to avoid her Tail Sweeps and Crystalfire Breath directional attacks.

Her debuff abilities can be prevented or removed. Crystalfire Breath can be dispelled. The Intense Cold debuff/DoT can be removed by simply moving, so it is recommended that the tank and DPS strafe or jump during the fight to keep from taking damage. Crystal Chains should be dispelled or cleansed so that players can continue to move around.

There are three sets of adds in front of Krik'thir. The order in which you pull them doesn't matter. Make sure to either crowd control the Skirmishers or kill them first as they can Backstab for some pretty nasty damage. Your party will drop combat after each set of adds so there is some time to drink and heal up. Krik'thir will either run at your party by himself or he can be pulled depending on whether your group is ready or not. Pull him to the center of the room and try to keep the group close together. Krik'thir will summon Skittering Swarmers that will come out of the walls towards your group. They have very low health and can be killed easily. He will also cast Curse of Fatigue on a party member from time to time. This slows down movement, attack, and casting speed and also deals shadow damage. It can be removed like any normal curse. at 20%, Krik'thir will Frenzy, increasing his attack speed. Continue to dps him down and kill all the Swarmers that come out.

Hadronox will start at the bottom of the room and slowly work her way up the tunnel. Once you get to the bottom of the ramp, there will be a set of three mobs in front of you. It is very important not to run too close to the two staircases in this room as mobs will constantly be flowing down them towards Hadronox. Once you pull the first group of mobs, a short gauntlet will trigger. After the mobs die, two more groups will come down the stairs and sit at the bottom of them. Keep your party at the ramp with the healer and any casters standing away as the adds will silence from time to time. Kill the two groups of mobs and make sure to pick up any of the extra non-elite adds that will come down the stairs towards your party. Make sure to stay back against the wall once Hadronox comes into the room. Do not attempt to engage her before she has killed all the other mobs as she heals for 10% everytime she kills something and yes, that includes a party member. Once all the adds have died, Hadronox will come at your party. It is crucial that you have someone in the group that can cure poisons. She casts Leech Poison which drains health and returns it to her and if that person dies with the poison on, she will heal for 10% of her life. She also casts Acid Clouds on the ground that deal quite a bit of damage and do not despawn for around two minutes. Make sure to not stand in them as they are easily avoidable. She also casts Web Grab which pulls everyone in the party to her. When this happens, have the ranged and healers spread back out.

Make sure to tank Anub'arak facing away from the party as he can cast Pound, which does roughly 10k damage in a frontal cone to all targets. He will also cast Locust Swarm that causes damage to all party members so be sure to have the healer top everyone off when he begins casting this. After some time, Anub'arak will tunnel into the floor and disappear. Several mobs will fly down from the ceiling, others will tunnel out of the ground or come down the ramp towards the group. Be sure to pick them up when possible. Make sure to kill these before Anub'arak comes back. While he is gone, you will notice dust rise up from the ground and shortly thereafter, spikes will fire up out of it. All party members should avoid these as they cause around 3k damage and knock anyone standing on it up into the air. Once Anub'arak comes back to the surface, continue to face him away from the rest of the party. He will tunnel down again and when he does, remember to pick up any adds that will come during this phase. Anub'arak has the ability to summon Carrion Beetles while he is on the surface. These have low health and can be picked off quickly so the tank should continue concentrating on keeping the boss facing away from the party while dps kills the beetles.

Special Abilities:

Strategy

Elder Nadox has almost no abilities so the tank just has to grab agro and hold it - however the hard part is the constant wave of bugs he summons. Throughout the fight a constant wave of small non-elite bugs will spawn which can be AoE down with easy, however periodically an elite Ahn'kahar Guardian will spawn and make all the non-elite bugs immune to damage. At this point all dps will need to shift to burning down the Ahn'kahar Guardian as soon as possible and then go back to killing the small bugs and the boss.

Special Abilities:

Strategy

Phase 1: Initially Prince Taldaram will be engulfed in a shield of blue light, and unattackable. In order for the group to render him vulnerable, you need to clear the two platforms opposite of his platform - two web bridges lead to them, and there are two Frostbringers and two Eyes of Taldaram on each of the platforms, alongside with a Nerubian object that causes the magical field to "diminish" (first object), and then "disappear" (second object). Activating those two is instant cast action, so you can do it while battling the Frostbringers and Eyes.

Phase2: When both objects are activated, and the magical shield - brought down, Prince Taldaram will become attackable, but won't engage the group, unless approached. Once engaged, avoid the Flame Spheres whenever possible, but don't make it your main goal in the fight - they don't hit too hard. Fire Resistance Aura or Fire Resistance Totem may help towards this. The group should keep Taldaram DoTed up, so Embrace of the Vampyr doesn't surprise the group.

20 Twilight Volunteers will spawn just before the boss descends, but will remain untargetable/unattackable. Disregard them for now, but spread your group in such manner, so you can keep an eye on every Volunteer in the room. As soon as the boss becomes attackable, feel free to go all out - his spells are cast on a random timer, so saving your cooldowns for a specific percent HP won't do any good.

Throughout the whole fight Jedoga will randomly ascent, become invulnerable, and ask for the most devoted among the Volunteers. A few seconds later, one of them will step ahead, become targetable and start walking towards the magic circle that had appeared under Jedoga's feet. It is very important to kill the Volunteer (elite, ~25k hp) as soon as possible, because if you don't, Jedoga will start (and eventually finish) draining the power from the Twilight member, gaining Gift of the Herald, increasing all damage done by 200%. Getting the buff usually means wipe, because the normal hits go up to 6k, and the occasional spells can quickly burn tanks' HP pool. Regardless if whether the Volunteer was killed by your group or by the boss, Jedoga will descend soon, and resume the fight - hopefully without the +200% damage buff.

Special Abilities:

Strategy

This is mostly a gimmick fight in its current state, due to the relative ease of the Insanity debuff. Volazj remains a tank and spank for the entire encounter, until he casts Insanity. When this ability is cast, each member of the part is cast into a "shadow realm" where they are forced to kill the other members of their party. These "evil clones" are very weak, and should pose no real problems to anyone. Once the spell's duration expires, the fight returns to the regular tank and spank.

Special Abilities:

Strategy

Start by pulling Trollgore down the steps and have the tank keep him there near the bottom. At some point during the fight, a few trolls will run down the stairs towards the party. They have relatively low health and can be easily picked up by the tank if he remains there at the bottom of the steps. There will be several troll corpses on the ground which Trollgore can use to cast Corpse Explosion which causes AoE damage around the corpse. Try to keep him away from as many corpses as possible to minimize the damage done or just have your party members avoid standing near them. Trollgore will place a disease on a party member, usually the tank, that needs to be removed as it increases the amount of damage taken for 20 seconds. He can also cast Crush and this will knock the person down and deal 150% damage to them so be sure to keep the tank topped off. The longer the fight lasts, the larger Trollgore will become and the more damage he will do as he has an ability called Consume. This deals AoE damage to all party members and gives him a buff that increases damage by 2% everytime it is cast. Try to minimize as much AoE damage as possible and keep all party member's health topped off.

Special Abilities:

Strategy

Once your party approaches Novos, he will cast a shield on himself that makes him immune to damage. Have your party position themselves at the bottom of the stairs because while the shield remains active, adds will continue to come down the stairs. Most of them can easily be killed without being tanked. The two adds the tank should be concerned with are the Hulking Corpses and the Crystal Handlers. As the fight progresses, Novos will call for assistance and one Crystal Handler will emerge from one of the two doorways leading into the room. Once it is killed, one of the crystal pillars becomes inactive. After the fourth Crystal Handler is killed, the shield comes down and Novos is now vunerable to attacks. Make sure to finish off any additional adds before attacking Novos. Make sure all party members avoid the Blizzard as it deals a lot of damage and if someone caught in it has Wrath of Misery on them, the results can be fatal. Wrath of Misery is a curse cast by Novos that deals damage over time and can be removed. Novos also casts Frostbolt randomly at party members and is immune to silence. It is very important to keep all party members health topped off as there is no indicator as to when Novos will cast Blizzard or Wrath of Misery.

Special Abilities:

Strategy

King Dred can be tanked either outside or inside his pen. He does not cause any AoE damage or target anyone except the tank as long as threat is sufficient. He has two roars: Bellowing roar that fears all party members within 35 yards for four seconds, and Fearsome Roar that reduces damage done by all party members. The healer can therefore outrange the fear and keep the tank topped off throughout the fight as King Dred casts Grievous Bite which causes the target to bleed until returned to 100% health. It is important to remove this as soon as possible as he also has Mangling Slash which deals additional damage and increases damage done by bleed effects. He also has Piercing Slash which reduces armor by 75% and this coupled with the bleed can be devastating if the healer is caught in a fear.

Special Abilities:

Strategy

Tank The Prophet Tharon'ja on the middle of his platform. It is best if all party members stay close to him. Throughout the duration of the fight, Tharon'ja will frequently cast Decay Flesh which melts the flesh off of all party members for 25 seconds.. While in skeleton form, a number of new abilities will become available to use. Slaying Strike is much like a rogue's Sinister Strike as it is an instant ability that deals melee damage and has a 1 sec. cooldown. Tharon'ja will continue to focus on the tank during this phase and the player's come equipped with Touch of Life that steals health from Tharon'ja. If a player's health becomes low, any other player can use Taunt to have The Prophet focus his attention on someone else. Be sure to keep up Bone Armor which absorbs damage taken. After 25 sec. are up, Tharon'ja will cast Return Flesh which will return all party members to normal and allow them to use normal abilities. Make sure to keep the tank topped off as The Prophet can cast Burn Flesh at any time and although you have a steal life, you do not want the tank to die while shapeshifted. Tharon'ja will also cast Poison Cloud that can easily be avoided and disappears after 10 seconds. He can also cast Shadow Volley which causes AoE damage to all party members, but he will focus Lightning Breath and/or Eye Beam on a single target. Tharon'ja also casts Curse of Life that deals damage over time and unless removed by player means, will remove itself once the target falls below 50% health. Avoid poison clouds, keep all party member's health topped off before becoming skeletons, and make sure no one dies while shapeshifted by taunting off the tank if needed.

Special Abilities:

Strategy

Start the fight with all the party at either the rubbled ramp to the left or the stairs to the right. Once he has done his little speech he'll come running at the party. The tank picks him up and keeps him at the top of the stairs/ramp for 10-15 seconds. Keep dps high and he'll summon his first and second adds. Move up the balcony and along the bridge slowly whilse tanking and dps. Ranged and healers try stay a little ahead of the tank. The adds will come up the stairs/ramp where you were stood and slowly move along the bridge. You should move to the other side of the bridge at the ramp/stairs that you did not start on. Once there the orbs have a few more seconds before despawning. Move him back up to the top and carry on dps. Simply repeat back the other way as many times as nessecary and the orbs should never hit the raid.

The boss spawns with two elite adds. In heroic (and possibly normal) mode, all three are capable of chaining bloodlust, which should be dispelled if possible. Also, if both adds die before the boss dies, the boss enrages. As such, the general strategy for this boss in heroic is to kill one add to reduce the incoming damage, kill the boss, then finish off the other add.

Cyanigosa will appear in the center of the room and transform into a large blue dragon. Her abilities are pretty standard, just have the main tank face her away from the party members. If she casts blizzard on top of the tank have him move away from it - and Uncontrollable Energy is a dispellable magic debuff that doesn't deal too much damage if left alone. She appears to be able to teleport the entire party in front of her, when this happens just spread back out again.

Special Abilities:

Relatively simple encounter. Tank and spank with some acid volleys. He seemed immune to interrupts, so it appears you have to eat them. At about 30% he begins summoning small snakes and serpents to zerg your group, just place the healer out on the balcony so you can have DPS and the tank pick them up while cutting the boss down.

It's mostly tank and spank. Gal'darah will charge random people during his troll phase, and will cast a form of Whirlwind - doesn't hurt too much, but make sure your melee gets out of it. His charges also cause knockback and lower the aggro of the person that's being knocked, so tanks, be ready to taunt after one of those.

Halfway through the fight he will transform into a Rhino, and will cause occasional bleed on some people - raid warning will announce it. Healers may need to toss an extra heal on the people that are bleeding, but it's not all too bad.
