Avoid the beam and run to the new spot.

Everyone

Vexhul submerges, reappearing at the center of the room. The boss channels a frontal beam and spins slowly around the room, dealing damage and applying Eternal Venom to anyone hit. Then, he will rejoin Ithraz at a new spot. Swirlies and puddles rain down as the serpents submerge.

Uncoiled Wrath

Enrage

Make sure to soak allthe globule orbs quickly.

Vexhul debuffs the current tank with a DOT, and spreads Caustic Globules orbs nearby. Globules explode after 10s and apply Eternal Venom to all players. Run over an orb to soak it, preventing the explosion. Eternal Venom will only be applied to the soaking player.

Caustic Deluge

Soak orbs

Use crowd control to break theglobule orb shields before soaking.

Ithraz channels a massive heal absorb onto the tank, shielding all Caustic Globules as they spawn. Interrupt them with crowd control to break the shield and then soak as normal.

Blood Torrent

Mythic mechanic

Interrupt all of the Broodling casts.

Ithraz spawns a ton of Broodlings of Ithraz (on PTR, 14 of them!). Each one will cast Visceral Burst, which deals massive raid-wide damage if it goes off. Have a plan to interrupt every single worm to stop this. After being interrupted, Broodlings go away.

Rouse the Brood

Kill the adds and dodge the lines.

Spawns three Spawn of Vexhul adds and applies a stack of Eternal Venom to all players. They'll cast Corrosive Spit, a line toward a player, dealing damage and giving them a stack of Eternal Venom. Extra players should avoid being hit by the line.

Ravenous Feast

Soak

Soak the red orbs to prevent an explosion

After Ravenous Feast, a few red orbs with soak circles will spawn. Players who soak will get a healing absorb. Several players have to help soak each. If the orbs aren't fully soaked, they'll explode and wipe the raid.

Tainted Blood

Debuffed players should move out to the edges.

Several players are marked with a circle and a DoT. The DoT damage increases over time. After their debuff expires, players drop a puddle under their feet.

Coiling Ichor

Move out

One tank soak all three smashes each time, in order.

Tanks

Tank soak. Nearby players are shoved away from Ithraz and three small circles are marked where he will smash. The tank needs to soak all three or the raid takes massive damage and will be knocked back. Each soak applies a 33% vulnerability for 90s. The circles spawn in the same order they need to be soaked.

Stone Breaker

Tank soaks

Raid-wide pulsing AoE damage for a few seconds. Waves spawn and travel across the room, dealing damage and applying a stack of Eternal Venom to anyone hit.

Stir the Depths

Waves

Dodge the swirlies during the beam.
