King’s Rest

Few places in Zandalar are more sacred than Kings’ Rest. Every king, conqueror, or tyrant who has held control of the Zandalari empire is housed within this great city of the dead to protect and honor not only their bodies, but also their spirits. Entry has historically been restricted solely to the Zandalari priesthood and royalty, but as Zul’s dark magic winds its way through the tomb you must venture inside and put an end to the darkness that has found purchase there.

The Golden Serpent

Kings’ Rest has come under attack before. After a foolish troll tried to summon Hakkar the Soulflayer to this island many millennia ago, the priests of Zandalar created a mighty construct to defend this tomb. The Golden Serpent has stood against intruders ever since, judging who is worthy to enter these sacred halls.

Mistweaver Strategy

  • Players afflicted with Spit Gold will take heavy damage over 9 seconds. Keep them topped with Enveloping Mist, and even use Life Cocoon if needed.
  • After expiration of the debuff, a pool of Molten Gold will spawn beneath the affected player’s feet. These should be stacked in a corner of the room.
  • When The Golden Serpent casts Lucre’s Call, the pools will spawn Animated Gold that slowly move towards the boss.
  • If an Animated Gold reaches the boss, it gets a buff of Luster, which can only be removed by dealing enough damage to break through the absorb shield.
  • Killing an Animated Gold returns them to their Molten Gold form. Kill them close to each other so that the pools melt together, resulting in fewer adds by the next Lucre’s Call.
  • Mistweavers can help the damage dealers dealing with the adds by stopping them with Leg Sweep or Ring of Peace, and even cast a few Spinning Crane Kicks.
  • If the Golden Serpent gains stacks of Luster, be ready for heavy healing on  the tank when it gets hit by Tail Thrash!
  • Be ready to spot-heal any players that steps into Molten Gold pools.
  • Run out of Serpentine Gust.
Windwalker Notes
  • If affected by Spit Gold, run out and place the subsequent Molten Gold near other pools. 
  • When the Golden Serpent casts Lucre’s Call and Molten Gold turns into an Animated Gold globule, be ready to stun and kill the adds before they reach the boss.
  • Kill Animated Gold globules near each other! If they’re close enough, the pools will melt together.
  • If an Animated Gold reaches the boss, do enough burst damage to quickly break through the absorb shield to remove the Luster buff on the boss.
  • Run out of Serpentine Gust.
Brewmaster Notes
  • When the Golden Serpent casts Lucre’s Call and Molten Gold turns into an Animated Gold globule, be ready to move the boss away from the adds to prevent the boss from gaining Luster.
  • Keep Ironskin Brew up for Tail Thrash.
  • If The Golden Serpent has stacks of Luster, be ready with Fortifying Brew when Tail Thrash hits.
  • Run out of Serpentine Gust. Note that the boss won’t move when he casts this ability, making it perilous if the adds are close by!

Mchimba the Embalmer

There was once a caste of Zandalari whose purpose was to preserve and defend the remains of past rulers. But when a terrible plague of corrupted blood tore through the empire, it was too risky for mortals to handle the dead. Golems were summoned for the grim work of preservation and burial; they have been used ever since.

  • Mchimba will channel Drain Fluids on a random player, dealing high ticking damage. Once the cast is finished, the player is afflicted by Dessication, lowering their movement and damage output. The only way to remove the debuff is to heal them above 90% health.
  • Mchimba will Entomb a random player in one of the 4 crypts. Use your Struggle ability (vehicle action bar) to make the sarcophagus wiggle, alerting your allies to which crypt you’re trapped in.
    • Mchimba will also look for the entombed player, by opening the sarcophaguses one by one (the one that contains the player is always opened last). Each crypt that does not contain the player instead contains a Half-Finished Mummy add that will attack the players.
    • Locate and free the player as quickly as possible to reduce the amount of adds you get!
    • Half-Finished Mummy casts Wretched Discharge, a disease that covers the entire group and deals massive amount of damage. Interrupt this cast before it goes through! Mistweavers can also clear it with Revival if needed.
  • Mchimba will cast Burn Corruption, creating large Burning Ground zones beneath random players that will last for a very long time. Make sure to position yourself appropriately, so you never cut off the room with fire.
Windwalker Notes
  • Use Touch of Karma if targeted by Drain Fluids.

Brewmaster Notes
  • Keep Ironskin Brew up if targeted by Drain Fluids.
  • Mchimba will Entomb a random non-tank player in one of the 4 crypts. The player has to Struggle to make the sarcophagus wiggle, alerting you to which crypt the player is trapped in.
