Strategy Guide
This fight is 3 Phases with an Intermission. Phase 1 is single target, Phase 2 is two target spread cleave, and Phase 3 is two target stacked cleave.
All phases have Orbs, Ghosts, or both, that need to be loosely stacked. A frontal tank cone will destroy them.
Stop your friends from being mind controlled off the edge.
Intermission is a massive damage amp. Block souls from running into the bosses so they don't heal.
Phase 3 has mechanics from both P1 and P2.
Destroying Orbs also applies a stacking DOT debuff.
Axes don't despawn.
Guillotine soaks apply a 500% vulnerability. Prepare two alternating soak groups.
Spiteful Soulcoiler is a new P2 and P3 add that casts a raidwide fear and needs to be interrupted.
There is a new Purple Orb. You can't touch any other Orbs with it.
Picking up an Orb gives you a 200% vulnerability for 10s.
Only the target fixated by each Ghost can see it. Ghosts also deal massive damage if they touch.
Spiteful Soulcoiler have a 99% damage reduction that can be removed by hitting it with Gloombomb.
Blocking intermission souls applies a raidwide stacking 20% vulnerability debuff.
Stage One: Serpent's Bargain
Everyone
Be prepared for massive raidwide
damage, and avoid the puddles.
Massive raidwide pulsing damage. Poison flows onto the platform, forming two massive puddles.
The puddles fade over time. Puddles are larger each time this ability is cast.
Zul'jan gains stacks of Twinfang Toxin during this channel, buffing his next several melee swings with Nature damage.
Everyone
Pick up Orbs and move
them into clusters
Circles mark where Coalesced Venom Orbs will land, dealing damage to anyone hit.
Walking over an Orb will pick it up for 5s and give the holder a DOT debuff. After 5s, the Orb is dropped again.
You'll destroy Orbs with Sever, a tank frontal. Pick up and move Orbs into clusters to destroy several at once.
On Mythic difficulty, after carrying an Orb, you get a 200% vulnerability to carrying Orbs for 10s.
Everyone
Use the cone to destroy
clusters of Orbs
Frontal cone aimed at the tank. Deals massive physical damage and applies a 200% vulnerability to any players hit.
Aim this frontal at clusters of Orbs to destroy them.
Each Orb does a burst of raidwide damage when destroyed, so you can't hit too many at once.
Any Orbs left at the end of the phase will be destroyed, so you can't leave too many behind either.
On Heroic, Orbs also apply stacks of a raidwide DOT debuff when destroyed.
Everyone
Move Purple Orbs without
touching any other Orbs
Mythic has a new purple Venom Orb.
You can carry this Orb too, but it explodes if it touches another Orb, wiping the raid.
Purple Orbs will wipe the raid if any are alive at the end of the phase.
Everyone
Help soak,
then run away.

At least 5 players need to help soak.
The axe will eplode shortly after landing, dealing damage to players within 50yd.
Soak, then run away quickly!

Stage Two: Usurper's Reprisal (After killing Zul'jan)
Everyone
Break the shield to
stop mind controls
Several players are mind controlled and their characters walk towards the nearest edge.
Break their shield to stop the mind control before they fall off the edge.
Everyone
Kite Ghosts into a cluster by looking
away, then look at them so they stop.
Manifestation of Dread are Ghosts that spawn and fixate players.
They chase you, but stand still when you look at them.
If it touches you, it mind controls you.
Try to kite these Ghosts into a loose clump so that they can be destroyed by Soul Sever, a tank frontal.

Everyone

clusters of Ghosts
Large frontal cone towards the tank.
Deals massive Shadow damage to any player hit, and applies a 200% vulnerability debuff with a DOT.
The tank will be debuffed with Gravebound.
This cone destroys any Ghosts it hits.
Everyone
Dodge and break
the shield quickly
Malacrass gets a shield and begins a long cast that will wipe the raid if successful.
Swirlies spawn that you need to dodge, and the raid gets a stacking healing absorb.
Break the shield to interrupt the cast.
Everyone
Interrupt and
kill the add.
Malacrass summons a Spiteful Soulcoiler. It will spam cast Wail of Terror, a raidwide fear that you need to interrupt.
It also deals damage to random players while alive.
Kill the add before it reaches full energy, because it will become immune to interrupts.
It will move away after every interrupt, so mostly ranged will have to handle it.
Everyone
Use Gloombomb circles
to remove damage reduction
The Spiteful Soulcoiler is protected by a 99% damage reduction.
Hit it with Gloombomb circles to weaken the damage reduction.
Additionally, interrupting Wail of Terror briefly makes Ghosts visible for all players.
Everyone
Move out with the debuff,
then collect your clones.
Several players are marked with a large circle and will explode for big damage around them.
Their soul splits, creating clones that run around nearby.
Collect the clones quickly by running into them, or you'll die.
Rot damage throughout the phase.

Everyone
Damage amp, pop
bloodlust and hit Zul'jan!
Malacrass channels, binding his soul to Zul'jan and healing them both.
Zul'jan is vulnerable and takes 100% increased damage. Malacrass is immune to damage.
Everyone
Move to block souls,
but watch the raid health.
Souls rush towards Zul'jan. Each one heals both bosses if they reach him.
You can block them by moving in their way, but they deal raidwide damage when blocked.

On Mythic, blocking a Soul applies a raidwide 20% vulnerability debuff for 2s.

You'll deal with: Ghosts, Orbs, Spiteful Soulcoilers, mind control, soaking souls, Eternal Nightfall shield, tank frontals, and Guillotine.
Be prepared to handle a lot of mechanics at once!
Tanks
Tanks will have to
swap to drop stacks
This mechanic is mostly the same, but the Twinfang Toxin boss buff is replaced with Corrupted Toxin.
It applies a stacking DOT debuff on melee swings.
You'll have to tank swap to let stacks fall.
Everyone
Put Orbs and Ghosts
nearby to hit them both.
You'll have Orbs to deal with, and Ghosts to deal with!
This tank frontal can handle both types of mechanic.
