  • Seargent Bainbridge (Horde Encounter)

    • The boss does not need to be tanked, he will instead fixate on random targets with Iron Gaze. Kul Tiran Marskmen inflict damage to everyone in the party, while the Kul Tiran Vanguards need to be tanked and faced away from the group, so players don’t get caught in their Heavy Slash.
    • The boss will chase random players with Iron Gaze, with increasing movement speed due to the stacking Boiling Rage buff. If he reaches the player, he will deal massive amount of damage and has a chance to knock them back due to his Heavy Hitter passive.
    • The fixated player should kite the boss into Heavy Ordnance mines that will be scattered across the arena floor after a wave of Cannon Barrage.
    • When Sergeant Bainbridge comes into contact with Heavy Ordnance, he’ll take damage and his speed buff resets. Additionally, the mine will stun him and cause him to take 50% extra damage for 6 seconds.
    • If the group fails to kite Bainbridge into the mines, they will explode and cause massive damage to the group. Bainbridge will also start to cast Hangman’s Noose on his fixated target, silencing them and dragging towards him. The victim player should run against the noose, because after 10 seconds, Bainbridge will smash the ground with Steel Tempest, knocking back all nearby player while causing damage to the whole group.
    • Leftover bombs should be soaked with an immunity!
  • Chopper Redhook Abilities (Alliance Encounter)

    • The boss does not need to be tanked, he will instead fixate on random targets with On the Hook. Irontide Powdershots inflict damage to everyone in the party, while the Irontide Cleavers need to be tanked and faced away from the group, so players don’t get caught in their Heavy Slash.
    • The boss will chase random players with On the Hook, with increasing movement speed due to the stacking Boiling Rage buff. If he reaches the player, he will deal massive amount of damage and has a chance to knock them back due to his Heavy Hitter passive.

    • If the group fails to kite Redhook into the mines, they will explode and cause massive damage to the group. Redhook will also start to cast Meat Hook on his fixated target and drags them towards him. The victim player should run against the noose, because after 10 seconds, Redhook will smash the ground with Gore Crash, knocking back all nearby player while causing damage to the whole group.
    • Leftover bombs should be soaked with an immunity!

    Hadal Darkfathom

    Hadal Darkfathom is an ancient sea giant called from the depths to unleash his fury on Boralus. Using his powerful strength he crushes buildings, statues and civilians alike.

    Mistweaver Strategy

    • This fight is all about dodging waves and placing Brine Pools away from the space you need for movement.
    • Hadal should be faced away from the encounter area so that his frontal cone Crashing Tide can easily be avoided. The frontal cone also leaves Brine Pools for a long stretch of space, which you don’t want in the middle of the room.
    • Players should not stand near the statue in the middle of the room, since Hadal will mark all players with Break Water, which will explode after a short moment, knocking players back, and leave behind another Brine Pool. This ability also inflicts unavoidable damage to the entire party, so be ready by keeping up as many Renewing Mists as you can and cast Vivify once the damage hits.
    • The reason for keeping the middle of the room clear is because when Hadal casts Tidal Surge, a large wave will spawn at the side of the room that will sweep the entire arena. The only way to dodge the wave is to hide behind the large statue in the middle. It will require some rapid movement and any Brine Pools can cause delays and extra damage.
    • Hadal can also cast his frontal cone Crashing Tide mere moments after the Tidal Surge wave has passed, making it vital that you pay attention and react quickly by moving away from the statue as quick as possible.

    Path up to Viq’Goth

    After defeating Hadal, it’s just a short stretch of road to the last boss. While on the path, you will be bombarded with water bolts that you must quickly dodge. Once any player has reached the encounter area, the bombardment stops.

    Viq’Goth

    Summoned from the depths by Lady Ashvane, Viq’Goth has devastated the harbor. Capable of pulling entire galleons to the crushing depths, this leviathan must be defeated before the Kul Tiran fleet is destroyed.

    • While the boss can be damaged with ranged attacks, the point of this fight is to free Kul Tiran Engineers from the boss’s grip so that they can repair the three available cannons. Using each of the three cannons will defeat the boss.
    • Due to Terror From Below, you shouldn’t spend too much time in the water, or a Constricting Terror will latch on to you and cause massive damage with Crushing Embrace.
    • Avoid the torrents of water the boss spews over the area with Call of the Deep.
    • Only Detox allies afflicted by Putrid Waters when they’re a safe distance from the group (about 10yds), to avoid causing damage and knock backs to nearby players.
    • Gripping Terrors holds the engineers you want to free, while the Demolishing Terrors will cause massive damage with Hull Cracker unless tanked.
    • Demolishing Terrors will also Slam the ground in front of them, which should be avoided.
    • All the Terrors should be killed off before one player jumps into the cannon and Blasts the boss. The cannon will then be destroyed by Eradication and you need to move on to the next cannon.
