Mythic+ Dungeon Guide – WoW Midnight Season 2

kickKeep interrupts on Frigid Shard to reduce tank damage intake.

dpshealmoveStay grouped to bait the ice spawned by Hailburst in one spot, then rotate around the room as it fills.

dpshealIf targeted by Chillstorm, drop this off away from your group and fight the pull-in effect it does while using healing or defensive cooldowns to survive the damage.

tankdpshealAt 66% and 33% health the boss casts Awaken Whelps which spawns several Infused Whelps that tanks need to pick up. She then shields herself with Ice Bulwark and begins channeling Frost Overload until it’s broken, so save damage for this if possible to quickly end this group damage.

tankdpshealIf targeted by Ritual of Blazebinding, move to an accessible area that doesn’t cleave your group, as the hit spawns a Blazebound Firestorm add you need to focus down.

tankdpshealkickHealers make sure you are ready to heal the Inferno cast the add does, while tanks and DPS make sure to keep interrupts on Blaze Volley.

moveWatch out for the Molten Boulder cast and do your best to bait these projectiles away from you path, just be careful as it will explode when it hits terrain!

tankhealTanks be ready with a defensive for every cast of Searing Blows.

moveIn phase one Kyrakka flies around the room, using Inferno Spit on 2 players. If targeted, move out of your group to safely drop the fire puddles out of the way. She also will occasionally land near a random player and aim the Roaring Flamebreath frontal at them which you should avoid.

tankdpshealkickdispelErkhart remains on the ground, using Stormslam on the tank. Healers make sure to dispel the tank before the next cast of this ability as it leaves a Magic debuff that increases the damage taken. He also occasionally uses Interrupting Cloudburst, so watch for this and stop casting before this completes.

tankdpshealBeware of the direction Winds of Change will blow as this not only pushes players but also Inferno Spit puddles. These always start by pushing North-West towards the balcony, then South-West, South-East, and finally North-East before continuing to repeat. This means you can position your Inferno Spit puddles to be pushed away from your group if you keep track of the next wind direction.

dpshealPhase 2 begins after pushing a boss to 50% health, causing Erkhart to mount Kyrakka and empowering her Inferno Spit to target 3 players until defeated. I recommend pooling damage, healing, and defensives if possible to power through this phase.

tankdpsmoveMake sure players are topped for the Ravenous Stomp hit, and tanks should watch for which Bone Pile does not have a Twinfang corpse land on it and move the boss towards it before Ssscavenging is cast to avoid a Feeding Frenzy.

dpssoakDuring Ssscavenging, make sure to get into all the Messy Eater soaks that spawn and pool damage to break the shield quickly to make this phase easier to heal.

healmoveLoosely spread to avoid cleaving allies with Triple Shot, and use defensives if this overlaps with other damage.

dpshealdiseasemoveRegurgitate shoots waves towards a random player, make sure to avoid these and use a disease dispel if someone gets hit.

tankhealTanks beware of high melee damage output on this fight due to Hydrastrike.

healHealers beware of the consistent ticking damage Synchronized Venom does for most of the encounter.

dpskickToxic Atrophy is cast three times back-to-back, make sure to interrupt every cast.

moveVindictive Onslaught does a combo towards a random player, step out of the Burrowing Charge line attack and try to point the Venom Jet frontal away from your group before moving out of that as well.

tankhealTail Scythe targets the tank, though this is not particularly dangerous.

tankdpshealWhen Death Rattle is cast, all players should use movement abilities to snap their tethers as quickly as possible and stop the heavy AoE damage. This spawns 5 Uncoiled Writhes that fixate random players and mirror damage to the boss, so stack them up, use CCs to lock them down, and use damage cooldowns here.

dpskickmoveThree of the Uncoiled Writhes will cast Toxic Atrophy, so be ready to interrupt or use a CC to delay the cast if needed. After 25s they recoil in the centre of the room, forming Undermining shockwave lines that players should avoid.

tankdpshealsoakBe ready to soak all 4 beams that shoot towards the boss during Ritual of the Fang, using healing cooldowns if needed for this moderate damage.

tankdpshealYou need to clear your stacks of Ritual Venom before they expire, which can be done by taking physical damage thanks to Bloodletting, just beware it also drops a puddle nearby for 30s.

dpshealI recommend standing in one of the two casts of Boneslicer, which will clear up to 8 stacks from the initial hit and 7s DoT it applies.

tankdpshealTanks use a defensive on the Chop Down combo, and beware this will also drop puddles if you still have stacks of Ritual Venom,

dpshealmoveOtherwise just make sure to avoid the 3 spinning axes that Axegrinder creates which bounce around the room.

dpshealmoveNether Dash does a line attack through each player, loosely spread near the edge of the room to avoid cleaving allies while positioning shades close together, which clumps the Umbral Rupture puddles.

tankhealVoid Blast targets the tank, be ready with a defensive and don’t get knocked into existing puddles.

tankdpshealmoveDark Bloom causes puddles to shoot out multiple orbs that you need to avoid, keep rotating around the room after Umbral Rupture to make these easier to dodge.

healmoveHealers be ready for the AoE damage from Poison Splash and avoid the puddles it spawns as they apply Mind-Numbing Poison to anyone who touches them.

moveNoxious Breath aims a frontal at a random player, stay close to the boss so you can easily avoid it.

tankdpshealkiteDPS be ready to swap to the Toxic Creeper that spawns after Monstrous Roar, as it pulses for AoE damage while alive. This mob just Fixate the tank, who needs to kite as every melee hit applies a stack of Sickening Bite, which makes surviving the Hulking Claw tank buster extremely difficult

healmoveAvoid getting pulled into any of the Unstable Singularity orbs as they apply Atomized if touched. These pulse for AoE damage while they persist, so healers beware.

Cosmic Crash does an AoE around all players, loosely spread to prevent cleaving your allies.

dpshealkiteGravitic Orbs spawn near DPS players and fixate them, applying stacks of Condensed Mass. Kite them through an Unstable Singularity to destroy them both, using defensives or freedom effects to clear your stacks as needed.

tankhealDark Waves aims a frontal at the tank, use a defensive and point this away from the rest of your group.

moveVoid Cascade shoots out projectiles towards a random player, run away from the boss to give yourself time to dodge, while the rest of your group moves out of their path.

kickKeep an interrupt rotation on Kezkitt’s random target Light Bolt ability.

healdispelmoveIf targeted by Thornblade, move to avoid cleaving allies then run out of the effect when Lekshi jumps to you. If needed use a defensive or bleed cleanse to remove the DoT this applies.

tankhealmoveTanks be ready with a defensive for Bedrock Slam, then position the bosses near one of the 3 Fertile Loam circles this spawns, just be ready to avoid the Lightsower Dash line attack that passes through all 3 circles.

tankdpssoakWhen Lightblossom Beam is cast the circles become soaks which deal ticking damage to players inside. These must be soaked to prevent the Lightbloom Overgrowth AoE damage, so I recommend the tank and 2 other players step into them ASAP. After the end of the channel the circles turn into Light-Scorched Earth as area denial, so tanks need to be ready to quickly reposition the bosses away before the next Bedrock Slam.

tankdpshealmoveHealers be ready for the pulsing raid damage from Thorncaller Roar, while all players should make sure to avoid the Bloodthorn Roots on the ground. This is especially dangerous when the boss has entered a Lightcrazed Frenzy, which happens at 50% health.

dpsIf roots are stepped on you can cleave them down or use a freedom effect to remove them from the player. You can also use freedom effects to clear multiple roots if needed.

moveWatch your position during Verdant Stomp so you don’t get pushed into a root, and either use a freedom effect or group up near the boss so that the root that spawns on all players after a short delay can be easily cleaved.

tankdpskitemoveBloodthirsty Gaze causes the boss to fixate a random player, run from the boss and if possible kite him over existing roots to cause them to be destroyed.

tankdpshealkickmoveOn pull until 70% health the boss is Moonkin Form. Keep interrupts on Warden's Wrath to mitigate tank damage and avoid the circles created by Lightfall. Lightfire debuffs 3 players, use defensives as needed and be ready to avoid the tornadoes that shoot out on expiration. If possible I recommend having the debuffed players stack up to make it easier to dodge.

tankdpshealdispelmoveFrom 70% to 40% health the boss enters bear form, gaining the Mangling Claws passive which tanks should be aware of. Use self-healing, bleed cleanses, or other defensives to help remove the Bleed applied by Grievous Thrash. If targeted by Pulverizing Strikes make sure to spread out to avoid cleaving allies with the frontal.

tankdpshealFrom 40% health until defeated the boss goes into his Haranir form, channeling Spirits of the Vale to rotate through Lightfire, Grievous Thrash, Lightfall, and Pulverizing Strikes every 8s for the rest of the encounter.

healHealers beware of the Oozing Xylem passive, causing pulsing group damage for the duration of the encounter.

dpskickCleave down the adds created by Awaken the Lightbloom, using interrupts and CCs to reduce the number of Lightspore Shot casts. Once defeated, hit their bodies with the Concentrated Lightbeam frontal to permanently destroy them. Note that this creates a large puddle on the ground, so I recommend positioning the boss and adds towards the edge of the platform.

dpshealsoakmoveSoak the orbs created by Lightbloom's Essence before they reach the boss, evenly spreading them out so the DoT doesn’t get out of control.

tankhealdispelTanks be ready for the Thornspike hit and knockback, using a defensive or bleed cleanse as needed.

tankAt 90%, 70%, and 40% health the boss will use Resourceful Measures, running to the nearest unused pile of resources and empowering an ability. I recommend empowering the meat pile first, the bone pile second, and the mushroom pile last.

tankdpshealThe meat pile transforms Ravenous Bellow into Hearty Bellow, adding a knockback to the AoE hit and DoT, so healers should be prepared for that damage hit regardless.

dpshealmoveThe bone pile enhances the random target Earthshatter Slam frontal, turning it into Bonespike Slam which adds some additional area denial. In both cases you should step out of the impacted area to avoid the hit.

tankdpshealsoakpoisonThe mushroom pile empowers Spoiled Supplies, causing more of the Rotten Mushroom soaks to spawn around the room. Soaking applies the Toxic Spores poison, so use dispels if you have them, otherwise try and spread out who soaks so that the damage intake isn’t overwhelming. Just make sure to grab them before the 12s timer ends, otherwise they trigger a Putrid Burst.

Beware that the boss arena is icy, so players will slide whenever they move.

healdispelHealers use dispels to remove the Glacial Torment DoT quickly, focusing healing into the players you can’t dispel.

moveStack up as a group to bait all the Raging Squall tornadoes into one spot, then rotate around the room to safely avoid them.

tankdpshealkicksoakmoveAvoid the Shattering Frostspike circles, then focus down the adds that spawn from them, keeping interrupts on their Winter's Shroud cast. On death these mobs turn into a snow pile and shoot out a Rimeshatter soak, so make sure one player gets into those.

tankdpshealHealers be prepared for the ticking damage during Frozen Tempest, and if possible position the boss near one of the add snow piles as that will prevent the pushback from this ability.

tankdpshealEchoing Maul debuffs 3 players and forms an Echo on them after a delay, try and drop these in the same general area, near existing echoes if possible, but don’t cleave other allies.

moveIn general you’ll want to avoid going near echoes, as they’ll hit you with Spectral Slash if you get too close.

tankhealsoakTanks make sure your back is never to an echo, as during Overwhelming Onslaught Zul’jarra will jump behind you and put up a shield that the entire group needs to stand behind. Healers be prepared for the 3 large hits, and tanks be ready to run back to the boss after the knockback so you can get in the Forceful Slam soak.

tankdpsDuring Fury of the War God have your whole group make a wall around Zul’jarra in the middle of the room, blocking echoes that attempt to charge at her by standing in their path and taking a small hit of nature damage.

If Zul’jarra is hit by Forceful Slam or any of the charging echoes she will let out a Demoralizing Scream, so do your best to prevent this from happening.

dpshealSpit Gold targets 2 random players, use a defensive if needed and drop the puddles this creates near existing ones if possible, as they turn into Animated Gold when Lucre's Call is cast. Cleave these blobs down, using slows and CCs to prevent them from empowering the boss

healHealers make sure to prepare for the Serpentine Gust channel, using group defensives or healing cooldowns as needed.

tankhealTail Thrash targets the tank, though this isn’t particularly dangerous.

dpshealmoveDrain Fluids channels into a random player, avoid the circles this creates and if targeted use a defensive or combat drop to stop the channel. If it does fully channel, healers should make sure to push the target's health above 90% to remove their debuff.

dpshealBurn Corruption targets a random player, drop these fire puddles away from the boss and sarcophagi so they don’t block your path.

dpskickMake sure players are topped for Awakening Slam, then cleave down the two Half-Finished Mummy mobs this spawns while keeping an interrupt on their Wretched Discharge cast.

tankdpshealEntomb locks a random player into one of the four sarcophagi around the room, quickly spread out to find which one they are shaking to prevent the boss from summoning additional mummy mobs.

healdispelSevering Axe targets a random player, use a bleed cleanse or defensive if needed, otherwise focus healing into the target.

moveAvoid the initial AoE and spinning projectiles created by Whirling Axes. I recommend tanking Kula in the centre of the arena, as this ability continues to be cast from the location of her body after her defeat.

tankdpshealsoakMake sure to group up in a safe spot for the Barrel Through soak, and keep in mind this is still cast after Aka’ali is defeated.

tankhealkiteTanks beware of the Debilitating Backhand knockback and debuff, either kiting until it goes away or using a large defensive to survive the damage amp.

healkickHealers beware of the group damage caused by Arc Lightning, which always cleaves off the tank. Everyone else should watch for the Poison Nova cast and make sure to interrupt it.

dpsWhen Call the Elements is cast swap to the Explosive Totem first, then the Thundering Totem, and finally the Torrent Totem.

On pull the boss summons Reban, then at 80% he gets empowered as he mounts T’zala, who he also shares an Eternal Bond with. I recommend focusing Reban initially to remove the extra mechanics before the boss is empowered.

tankkickmoveTanks watch your positioning as Reban will use Hunting Leap to jump to you and do a frontal through your position which everyone should avoid. Reban also attempts to cast Deathly Roar which you should keep interrupted.

dpshealmoveAerial Smash targets two players, spread out and avoid cleaving allies. When mounted this ability is changed to Quaking Leap, which now targets 4 players and does additional AoE damage that the healer needs to prepare for. This effect can also be cancelled by combat drops if you are the furthest target, which is very useful to reduce group damage.

tankhealdispelTanks be ready with a defensive for the Blade Combo buster, which ramps up over the short channel. When mounted T’zala will use Savage Maul just before the combo, so be ready for this additional damage and use a bleed cleanse if needed.

tankhealMake sure to have healing ready for the Gilded Destruction AoE, and tanks remember to point the boss away from your group for the duration as this causes the bosses melee swings to frontal.

dpshealdispelmoveThroughout the fight watch out for the Impaling Spear circles and if hit use defensives or bleed cleanses to reduce the damage.

dpsKeep an eye on the Storm Blessed immunity buff, which starts on Aspix and passes between the bosses when one hits 40% health.

healmoveHealers watch out for the players targeted by Gust and focus spot healing into them.

tankdpshealsoakmoveGale Force puts a line on each player, loosely spread to avoid cleaving allies, but beware the knockback it does is strong, so if you don’t have a way to cancel it then use the walls to stop yourself. This is always followed by the Thunder and Lightning soak, so everyone should quickly collapse in melee after the knockback to split this damage.

healTempest Winds debuffs 2 players, move out of the group and drop these puddles out of the way.

tankhealTanks beware of Adderis when they gain the Overload buff and use a defensive if needed.

healAfter killing Adderis, Aspix will enter a Frenzy, causing Gust, Gale Force, and Tempest Winds to happen more frequently, so position accordingly to deal with these mechanics.

tankhealLightning Bite targets the tank, be ready with a defensive for every cast.

dpsKnot of Snakes targets 2 players, stack in melee so that a single AoE CC can destroy them, then cleave down the Snakes that spawn under the boss.

healIf targeted by Thunder Spit drop your circles near the outside of the arena and use a defensive for the DoT damage if needed.

healHealers be ready for the Serpentstorm AoE damage, and everyone watch your positioning so you aren’t knocked into any puddles.

At full energy the boss will summon 3 Toxic Vipers and a Storm Serpent, then Burrow until they are defeated, dealing constant AoE damage and occasionally charging at players and stunning them if not avoided.

tankkickpoisonFor the adds, keep interrupts on the Poison Spit cast, and use a Poison dispel to remove DoTs as needed. Tanks should try to tank Storm Serpents near existing puddles or the edge of the room as they drop one when casting Storm Catalyst.

dpshealLightning Spire spawn in sets of three, make sure a non-tank quickly steps between them and the boss to prevent him from gaining energy. Spread out defensives and healing cooldowns here to make this consistent heavy damage easier to manage for your healer. If the boss gets to full energy he casts Consume Charge, which likely leads to a wipe.

tanksoakTanks just move the boss around the room, shifting to make spires easier to soak, or whenever the Induction cast leaves behind a puddle.

tankdpshealsoakmovePrioritize damage into the Corrupted Guardian, using a defensive if targeted by Vile Charge. Tanks should also watch out for their Tainted Strike buster. On death these mobs do a 20yd AoE and leave behind three Corrupted Lifeforce soaks, which players need to grab before they explode after 6s in a Corruption Burst. Soaking applies the Corruption debuff to the player, so DPS players or a Tank with a defensive ready should prioritize getting these.

kickKeep interrupts on the Twisted Hexxer’s Flame Shock ability, and drop the Latent Hex puddles on the outside of the room if targeted.

tankdpshealkitemoveWhen the Essence Defiler is defeated, the healer should focus on the Avatar while kiting the waves of Faithless Tormentors that continuously spawn in over 30s to avoid their Shadowlash debuff. DPS and Tanks should use CCs and AoE them down, as each one heals the Avatar for 0.7% of her health.

dpshealKystia takes reduced damage thanks to her Felshield stacks, so focus Nibbles instead, who will turn friendly at 20% health and channel Destabilized. Healers should be prepared for this heavy group damage, and DPS players should be ready with cooldowns to take advantage of the damage amp.

tankdpskickBe ready with interrupts or CCs to destroy the 5 Mirror Images the boss occasionally spawns.

tankhealdispelCorroding Spittle debuffs random players, use a dispel to remove it as quickly as possible. If you have the debuff during Mirror Images use a defensive if you have one available.

tankdpshealmoveFor dodging, step out of the Fel Nova AoE when it happens, and tanks make sure to face Nibbles away from your group to make it easier for them to avoid the Fel Spray rotating frontal.

tankhealChaos Barrage targets the tank and jumps to other players, beware of this additional damage, particularly when Mirror Images are out.

tankdpshealmoveAvoid the barrels spawned by Same-Day Delivery, and if you get targeted by Fire Bomb make sure to cleave the Fel-Infused Freight to remove its group damage. When Murder in a Row is cast players should each find their own barrel to hide behind to prevent getting the Bleed this ability applies.

healHealers be prepared for the Killing Spree AoE channel, especially if there’s a Fel-Infused Freight somewhere in the room.

tankhealpoisonTanks use a defensive on the Envenom cast and use a Poison dispel if you have it to remove the debuff.

tankhealTank the boss near the edge of the circular arena, facing him outwards so the Legion Strike frontal points away from your group.

dpsIf targeted by Axe Toss, move beside the boss to spawn the Legion Axe in cleave range, then all DPS should swap to it ASAP as it deals increasing AoE damage.

healmoveLoosely spread for Infernal Crush to avoid cleaving allies, and use a defensive if you have one as it will overlap with the large hit from Demonic Rage.

tankdpskiteDuring Demonic Rage tanks should slowly kite the boss along the edge of the room as puddles form, ideally using up less than half the room with each cast so that you never run out of space. If possible DPS should also try and save cooldowns to take advantage of the damage amp this applies.

tankdpskickKeep an interrupt rotation on the random target Chaos Bolt casts.

tankTanks make sure to move the boss far enough away from the Infernal, which cannot be killed and fixates the tank until the boss is defeated.

tankdpskickOutside of the Infernal, the boss also uses Summon Vilefiend which tanks should pickup, as well as Fingers of Gul'dan which players should spread out for but have their circles overlapped, as each hit spawns a Wild Imp that spam cast Felfire Burst at random players, which you should use spare interrupts or CCs to disrupt.

tankmoveWhen the boss uses Demonic Gateway to teleport away, wait for Malefic Wave to finish casting and then take the gateway when the other end is on the safe side of the wave to avoid being hit. Tanks make sure the Infernal isn’t between the gates or blocking one of them.

dpsNote that all adds need to be cleaved down before Malefic Wave touches them, otherwise they gain Malefic Empowerment.

healFor group damage, healers just need to beware of the constant pulsing damage from Searing Fel Flame.
