Horridon

The Zandalari brought powerful creatures with them to the Isle of the Thunder King to use as engines of war. Led by the War-God Jalak, the dinomancers of the Zandalari Beast Ward use ancient tribal magics to strengthen the great beasts and command obedience. The horns of Horridon, the fabled mount of Jalak himself, can tear through the stone walls of a keep as a blade cuts silk.

Lead Encounter Designer, Ion “Watcher” Hazzikostas:

Trolls love dinosaurs, so it’s only fitting that the most advanced and powerful troll tribe should have the largest and most powerful dinosaurs. The overall structure of this encounter recalls past fights like Lady Deathwhisper or M’uru, where players must keep up with waves of lesser (but still threatening) minions while managing the boss, before turning their attention directly to him in the later stages of the fight.

His trash is worse than he is.

Kommentar von ironskillet

for normal, key to this guy is honestly just nukin down the dinomancers to 50%, and interrupting the priests when the gurubashi trolls come out. everything else is just not standing in bad stuff.

last phase, pop hero and nuke the add boss then finish off horridon.

Kommentar von Tithanas

If you are a blood dk, is very useful while tanking the adds since they keep coming rapidly.

In 10 man mode we used 2 tanks, 3 healers and 5 DDs.

You have to deal with some abilities that are pretty easy to handle during the whole encounter and some additional abilities, while a specific door is open. The bossfight can be separated into the add or door phase and the burn phase, after the doors are destroyed.

Abilities used through the whole fight:

Dreifachstich is an attack against the current tank, dealing high damage and leaving a stacking debuff, increasing damage taken by Dreifachstich by 10%.
Switch at a stack value, that your tanks and feel comfortable.
Doppelfeger is a frontal and rear 35° cone attack in rapid succession. Therefore do not stand before and behind the boss.
Sometimes he uses Ansturm at a random raid member, with Doppelfeger directly following.
The targeted person should run outside the group and not face head or tail towards the group.

Phase 1:
During the encounter trolls spawn at one door with a fixed sequence, starting at the door to your left, when you enter the room.

At each door spawns after some waves a Dinomant der Zandalari who tries to heal Horridon and has to be killed in order to close the door. The Dinomancer has always top priority because it stops the other adds from spawning.
To destroy a door, the Dinomancer has to be brought below 50% HP forcing him to transform into his Saurierform which results in dropping an Orb of Controll, that can be used to force Horridon to destroy the door.

Now, let's have a look at the certain waves:

Phase 2:
When all doors are destroyed and Horridon is below 30% HP Kriegsgott Jalak spawns in the middle of the arena. There are 2 possiblities, how to finish the encounter, depending on your setup:

Kill Kriegsgott Jalak and have Horridon in a softenrage. This puts a lot of pressure into tankhealing, but reliefs your group heal.
Offtank Kriegsgott Jalak while you kill Horridon. This is probably more used in 25 man raids, because Horridon has actually low HP in 25 man in relation to 10 man. This tactic puts more pressure on group healing and forces the DDs to burn through this phase.

In either tactic the boss takes an additional 200% of damage, because of 4 stacks of Gesprungener Panzer from destroying the four doors.

My group has chosen the first possibility for the kill.

It's not the best gameplay, but it should help to visualise the description given.
I used Dream Theater as music for the video.

Kommentar von Putzahontas

Our guild used a slightly different strategy than the ones up on Icy Veins and Tankspot andso I wanted to share it with other guilds approaching this fight. We did this on 25N and since our guild's a bit undergeared compared to others who have downed him thus far, I think there's a chance our method might be easier that what you're seeing elsewhere. (As a frame of reference, nobody in our raid has an ilevel above 500, we didn't complete any heroic bosses in the last tier, and literally downed normal Sha for the first time the night before 5.2 dropped.)

Raid Comp: 7 healers, 2 tanks, 16 dps. Having 2+ pallies is extremely helpful, but not strictly required.

Essentially, we used the fact that Horridon's Charge has a 100 yard radius and that the room is gigantic to keep the boss away from the raid for the first four phases of the fight. We had a tank and two pally healers stay with him the whole time (both of our pallies recently came back and don't have much gear, you could potentially do this with one strong healer and a geared tank) and keep Horridon at the door that was diagonally across the room. This meant that our raid didn't have to deal with charges, tail swipes, or any boss related mechanics and could just focus on downing adds quickly. We initially used a tank swap, but found it was easier to just BoP a single Horridon tank to clear stacks--our two pally healers took care of this, but you could also utilize a single prot pally (BoP + bubble + BoP), or have ret pallies run over and do the honors--and let our other tank focus on adds. Our tank called out to have his stacks cleared approximately when a normal tank switch would happen (between doors). After Horridon rammed the door and went through his stun, his tank would again take him to the door diagonal to the new door we would be at, and as such rotate around the room. For the final two doors, there will be stuff on the floor at the doors the Horridon tank is at, but our tank and healers found that relatively easy to position around.

The biggest downside of this strategy is that Horridon will have close to full health going into the final phase, which meant we ran into the enrage timer the first few times we tried it. Here were the additional tricks that eventually made it work for us:

1. Dinomancers must go down and the orbs must be clicked ASAP. This is the one thing you can do to speed up the first part of the encounter, and as such is a higher priority than anything. This included prioritizing the Dino over the venomous effusions during the poison adds. Typically, we would have the orb clicked within 10 to 15 seconds of the Dinomancer landing.

2. You cannot use hero for the ice adds, and must instead save it for the final phase. We had initially been using it to get over the hump there, but there was no way we could use it then and beat the enrage.

3. After Jalak is down, healers must be contributing to the dps.

4. As we only had a single revitalize available, we found it more beneficial to deal with a stack or two of poison volley and save revitalize for after the frost phase (or during if things get nasty).

If you're willing to trade some increased pressure during the burn phase to decrease the complexity of the add phase, I'd highly recommend trying this approach. While the enrage timer is quite tight, if you're able to run with 6 healers or have more gear than we do, this should be even easier for your group than it was for us.

Kommentar von Pothemus

I would say that this was a decent fight and there are several issues that my group ran across and they're mainly.

The Farraki

The main issue for this phase is the Ödniswandler der Farraki which would cast both Gleißendes Sonnenlicht and
Sandfalle. The first one would jump down from the top about 10 seconds into the door opening and another 2 will jump down about 20 seconds later.

For Gleißendes Sonnenlicht if you guys have a Priest you could get the Priest to Massenbannung the entire group. If you guys are doing this you should have a designated stack point (our group stacked near the tank). However, doing this would make ensure that a lot of Sandfalle spawn on the group.

Tanks should constantly maneuvere themselves if they find that they're getting surrounded by Sandfalle.because if the melee group is trapped you might find yourself with nowhere to run when Horridon casts Ansturm

Another issue would be the Steinstarrer von Sul'lithuz (basilisks) that spawns and casts Steinblick on random members which will stun them and they're screwed if Sandfalle spawns below them. Dispel ASAP. Our mage was able to freeze them using Ring of Frost i'm not too sure if other stuns work.

All debuffs in this phase are magic-based so all healers should be able to dispel it.

The Gurubashi

The main problem for this phase would be the Giftpriester der Gurubashi. 1 of them will jump down 10 seconds into the phase and another 2 would jump down 20 seconds later. They will constantly cast Giftblitzsalve and spawn Giftiger Ausstoß which comes along with a Lebende Giftlache at their spawn location. It looks like a giant bubbling green puddle, you can't miss it.

The Giftiger Ausstoß would constantly spam Giftblitzsalve and they should be killed ASAP. If not, they'll stack to absurd amounts and people are bound to die combined with the Blutfürst der Gurubashi's Verwundender Ansturm

The main thing for this phase is to interrupt whenever possible while killing the Effusions that spawn, you should have a person designate a npc=69164]. to focus on burning down because for everyone that's dead it's one less Volley and Add to deal with.

It's a Poison effect so Druids & Paladins should be able to dispel it. Druid healers can also use on a Paladin to gain . Monks should be able to use their spells to cleanse everyone of the Poison if it gets too high.

(If you're a Druid like me who was the only healer who could dispel Poison effects, you would want to prioritise on dispelling the poison when you get the very first stack and continuing dispelling the person with the highest stack to keep it under control. This costs a lot of mana if the fight goes on too long and it's most likely a wipe then once the stacks get too high.)

The Drakkari

Adds on this phase randomly fixates on a person and chases after them and everytime they attack you, you'll get a stack of Tödliche Seuche. Trust me, it hurts once it stacks up. One thing to note is that the Auferstandener Krieger der Drakkari and Auferstandener Champion der Drakkari can be rooted and knock-backed and you would want to do this whenever possible so that they're not building stacks of the debuff on you.

It's a disease effect and Paladins & Druids with should be able to remove that.

The main problem on this phase would be the Gefrorener Kriegsfürst der Drakkari which has about 10 million hp on 10 man and they hit like a truck. The first one would jump down 10 seconds into the gate opening and the other 2 jumps down 20 seconds later. They constantly do a Tödlicher Stoß on the tank and it's pretty $%^& to heal.

This gate gave us the most problem so we popped Heldentum here.

The Amani

Ok, I found that this gate didn't give us any problems at all and very little raid damage went out so I couldn't identify any problems here.

The only thing that I think would be painful would be the Verhexung der Konfusion that goes out, we only had one set go out on the gate, either that or I wasn't paying attention. Shamans & Druids should dispel it ASAP because it does a %^&*load of damage if the person isn't paying attention and mashing buttons.

Last Phase

Kriegsgott Jalak would jump down 1 minute after the final door is down or after Horridon hits 30% hp. I would suggest that you burn down Kriegsgott Jalak first because the AoE damage he does increases over time and it hurts a lot. You might want to rotate some healing CDs here to keep up with the AoE damage.

After Kriegsgott Jalak dies, Horridon goes into a soft enrage and does a lot more damage. Our tanks swapped at around 5 stacks of the debuff. (Druids, your here are very nice for burst heals on the tanks here when the stacks of the debuff gets very high

I would assume that Doppelfeger would be fatal here with the very first hit so you guys should really move out now.

TL;DR

- Move out of #$%^
- Don't stand behind/beside Horridon

Tanks
- Reposition yourself constantly so you're not surrounded by *!@#. Swap on Horridon and adds on every door
- Swap on 5 stacks when Horridon goes into a soft enrage, use your CDs.

Healers
- Dispel, dispel, dispel
- Talk and discuss about when you wanna use your CDs if everything goes to hell.

DPS
- If you have to stop DPS to move out of *!@#, do it. You're useless being dead anyway.
- Focus fire on adds
- Interrupt whenever possible
- Dinomancers take priority over everything and you should end that door by ramming Horridon into it with the orb
- Kriegsgott Jalak and then Horridon

March 11th Hotfixes:

Reduced the health of the Gurubashi, Amani, Drakkari, and Farraki adds on the Horridon encounter.

Source: http://www.wowhead.com/news=211355/patch-5-2-hotfixes-march-11th

Explanation of March 11th Hotfixes:

Second, regarding Horridon, that change was an intentional difficulty adjustment, with the aim of smoothing out the difficulty curve of the first section of the raid. By reducing the health of the trolls pouring out of each gate, we reduced the DPS requirement (and thus the gear requirement) of the encounter, but generally kept the mechanics checks intact. The trolls having 10-15% less health doesn’t mean that raids can suddenly fail to interrupt Venom Priests, ignore Effusions, stand in Sand Traps, or cuddle up with Frozen Orbs. It just means that there’s a lower DPS requirement to keep up with the waves while doing so.

LFR:
This is a very chaotic fight, which doesn't favor LFR, so good luck.

Tanks: One tank on the boss, the other on the adds. Switch after each set of adds die (when the boss charges a gate and closes it.)

Boss tank: Keep the boss in the middle as much as you can, turned so that its side is facing the raid. He does two abilities of note, Triple Puncture which puts a stacking debuff on you, and Double Swipe, a front and rear cone ability that you can (and should) sidestep away from.

Add tank: The adds come out over time and are spread out, try to pick up as many as possible, but it's hard. None of them hit terribly hard in LFR, so don't sweat it if a hunter or warlock gets frisky with their pets. Put a skull on the Dinomancer when it spawns and interrupt its heal.

When Lord Jalak comes out, he needs to be picked up and focused down.

DPS:
Kill adds, interrupt when you can, and don't stand in anything. Don't ever stand in front of or behind the giant triceratops. Kill order is:
Dinomancer > Other adds > War-God Jalak > Horridon

Interrupt Dinomancer's heal.

When a Dinomancer dies, it drops something called an Orb of Control. If you see it, click it. That's what shuts the gate and stops that wave of adds.

Healers:
Tank damage increases with stacks, otherwise it's standard fixing problems caused by people not paying attention, standing in crap, and failing to interrupt. If you want to pretend that you're surprised by this, we'll all play along.

tl;dr verison:
Tanks - One on the boss, one on the adds. Swap after each set of adds. Boss tank, avoid Double Swipe.

DPS - Dinomancer > Adds > War-God Jalak > Boss
Interrupt Dinomancer's heal. Click on Orb of Control once Dinomancer dies. Don't stand in crap.

Healers: Heal, dispel what you can, nothing particularly surprising in this one.

Macroable:

/raid Tanks - One on boss, one on adds. Swap after adds.
/raid DPS - Dinomancer > Other adds > Jalak > Boss
/raid Interrupt Dinomancer's heals and click on Orb of Control once Dinomancer dies. Interrupt anything else you can.
/raid Heals - Good luck.

10man Normal Our setup:

2 tanks
2 healers
1-2 melee
4-5 ranged

For the tankytonks only:

Have the boss positioned so his side is always towards the raidgroup.
Triple Puncture from the boss will be too much unless you perform a tank swap or reset stacks by having a paladin hop on the current boss tank (this might be preferred if your tanks are far apart gearwise).
We went with tauntswap on boss on each transition to new doors.

All Troll Gates Quick Facts:

Treat him like a dragon: do not stand in front or behind (unless you are the tank), except if charge is on you - then it might be beneficial to move either in front or behind as he will do his Double Swipe shortly after.
Do not stand in shizzles on the ground!
Learn to interrupt those adds!
When you aren't busy dealing with adds, make sure to slash out some damage on the boss - however, do not ever get him below 30% before you are in the very last phase of the fight.
Assign a (ranged) interrupter to always deal with the first interrupt on the Dino Mending from the Dinomancer, have a backup interrupter for the second one in case you don't get him below 50% before he starts to channel again. Have an assigned player and assigned backup for clicking the Orb of Control ASAP. Remember that you can still move about ~~and also still hit mobs~~ while you hold the Orb.

Farraki Kill Order & QuickFacts:

Single Wastewalker -> Dinomancer -> Pair of Wastewalkers -> Stonegazers -> Skirmishers
Do not forget to have an assigned stunner for the Stonegazers as their stun might prove fatal.
Dispel Blazing Sunlight.

Gurubashi Kill Order & QuickFacts:

Single Venom Priest -> Dinomancer -> Pair of Venom Priests -> Venomous Effusions -> Bloodlords
Have assigned interrupters on each of the Venom Priests. Interrupt as many of the Effusions as you can.
Do not stand in or near the Living Poisons.
Anyone who can remove their own poison debuff, remove it on transition to next gate, the rest will need a dispel/poison removal cast on them.

Drakkari Kill Order & QuickFacts:

Single Frozen Warlord -> Dinomancer -> Pair of Frozen Warlords -> Risen Champions -> Risen Warriors
All make sure you stay outside the blue circle surrounding each Frozen Orb.
If needed in order to keep the situation under control, use Timewarp/Heroism once the solo Frozen Warlord has dropped down, else keep it as it will be very handy later on.
Remove Deadly Plague if you have raiders who can remove it, as it hurts with lots of these mobs up.

Amani Kill Order & QuickFacts:

Single Warbear -> Dinomancer -> Pair of Warbears -> Beast Shamans -> Flame Casters -> Protectors
Avoid the charge and swipe from the Warbears.
Do not ever stand close to any Lightning Nova Totems.
Interrupt as much as you can.

Transition to last phase:

Finish off any remaining mobs.
Tanks swap on Horridon so the tank who had the Amani adds start this phase tanking the boss.
Reposition so the boss is in the center of the arena, with the raidgroup huddled up stacked on a marked healer hugging the side of the boss.
Everyone be aware and ready to move out if they are Charged by the boss.
Put out as much damage as you can on Horridon without pushing him below 30%.

Once War-God Jalak drops down, pop Timewarp/Hero unless you already used it, and nuke down the War-God ASAP. Physical damage mitigation is also helpful here because of Beastial Cry.
Horridon becomes enraged when the War-God dies, so you want to finish things off as quickly as possible from now on.
Do a tankswap when Jalak dies to keep the stacks of Triple Puncture under control.
Burn the boss while dealing with positioning for the Charges/Double Swipes.

Loot & Rejoice!

Kommentar von Buran

Named for Triceratops horridus, first described by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1889. T. horridus is hypothesized by some to be the juvenile form of another dinosaur, Torosaurus, although studies are still in progress.

The full name means "horrible three-horned face". It is derived from the Greek τρί- (tri-) meaning "three", κέρας (kéras) meaning "horn", and ὤψ (ops) meaning "face".

The PBS program American Experience has an excellent episode (Dinosaur Wars) about the rivalry between Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope in the early days of dinosaur fossil hunting. I highly recommend it and the entire AE series; some of it is viewable for free on pbs.org, some on Amazon Instant Video.

Kommentar von arbhatt

As long as your raid has either one Prot pally or a combination of any 2 other pallies (Ret/Ret, Ret/Holy, Holy/Holy), then no tank switch is required until after Jalak has been killed! Prot pallies should tank Horridon and should use Segen des Schutzes, Segen des Schutzes, Gottesschild, and then another Segen des Schutzes in order during each door transition. If no Prot pally is being used, then the Ret/Holy pallies should just keep using Segen des Schutzes on the Horridon tank after each door transition (the Horridon tank should be ready to click off the buff in order to maintain threat). Requires the pallies to have the talent chosen in order for this to work.

Kommentar von Ryawy

For groups that do not have paladin tanks or healers, you may not be able to keep the boss quite as far from the doors as you would like, to keep healers closer to the pile of adds. Due to Horridon's tiny agro box and the fact he hits like a truck, I would suggest to have the pulling tank as someone with a speed boost such as a warrior's Heroic Leap. That tank can then either keep agro or the second tank can taunt from a safe distance. With the second option, the taunt will cause boss to turn his side to the group faster.
To keep a good distance between the group and the boss, when the boss prepares to charge, the tank should run toward the middle of the room. If the tank does not move, the boss will stop at the edge of his large hitbox (possibly with his tail in the pile of raiders) and the tank will need to swivel him around before his next Double Swipe. Running for that bit of extra room will give the tank enough time to turn the boss and let everyone else keep the space they need for adds.
For DK tanks on adds, save Death and Decay for when adds pile up. If there's a split-second decision between Icy Touch and Plague Strike, go for Plague Strike so you can get procs of Crimson Scourge. Gorefiend's Grasp is probably the better option here since it can help pull some mobs in for Blood Boiling and Remorseless Winter's stun may kick in when you really need to move.

Results may vary.

Kommentar von 445261

For heroic Horridon, management of the direhorn spirit adds is made a lot easier by targetlasttarget macros, such as the sample 2 below:

For casters:

#showtooltip Fel Flame
/tar Direhorn Spirit
/cast Fel Flame
/targetlasttarget

For melee:

#showtooltip
/cleartarget
/tar Direhorn Spirit
/cast Throw
/targetlasttarget
/startattack

Obviously, choose abilities available to your class, such as Throw/Judgement/diseases for melee and instant cast spells for ranged.

Credit to Icy Veins and the mmo-champion forums for these macros.

Kommentar von SolidSnack

Does this boss remind anyone of Diablos/Monoblos in Monster Hunter? Particularly the double swipe and the charge.

Kommentar von Ineluki

If you're in an LFR on this boss, expect there to always be one or two DPS who just tunnel Horridon the entire fight to win meters and ignore the trash, in much the same way people will AoE trash in Dark Animus for the same reason. Curse meters!

This boss is soloable by death knights.

To do this at level 90, you should have 570+ ilevel. It may be possible to pull it off with slightly less, but you might run into difficulties with the enrage, and it's already a challenging fight!

At level 100, basic heroic dungeon gear will more than suffice.

Take Plague Leech, Asphyxiate, Lichborne, Runic Corruption/Blood Tap, Death Pact, and Remorseless Winter.

Don't use Army of the Dead on the pull - use it to tank adds at the third door.

1) During the first two doors, you should decide whether or not you want to kill adds. This will depend on your gear level - with less gear, you will have to focus on Horridon more in order to beat the enrage - which comes at the cost of complicating survival. With more gear (or at level 100) you'll have minutes on the enrage, so you should focus down the adds in order to have an easier time outhealing the damage. Dinomancers will demand your immediate attention, regardless of whichever tactic you are using. You must prevent them from healing Horridon at all costs. Kill them as soon as they spawn.

2) During the third door, you must avoid disease stacks, as too many will complicate survival. I generally have 6-9 on my kills, though I've heard of it being done with as many as 19. Use your Army of the Dead to tank the adds that spawn.

3) The fourth door and the last phase are similar - it's a battle for survival. Use your consumables (Drums of Fury, Draenic Strength Potion or the better Draenic Armor Potion) to kill War-God Jalak right away. You'll also have to watch out for Triple Puncture, as you'll have 30 or more stacks by this point.

Edit: This is very easy at level 100. Interrupt dinomancers, and prioritize adds. You should have no problems with the enrage, and the most dangerous parts of the fight (third/fourth doors, Triple Puncture at the end) are not much of a threat with the much larger health pools. I would recommend 630+ gear, as your haste/multistrike/Death Strike healing are very low otherwise. With even more gear, you can pretty much tunnel Horridon the entire way through and just use an armor potion or something when Jalak jumps down.

Video of this being done at level 90.

(Note that the video was made post-item squish, but prior to the global health nerf to mobs. Thus, while Horridon has 12M health in the video, he only has 8.3M health now, making him substantially easier, especially with good tank gear).

Kommentar von Adalwolfa1

Soloable by hunters as well now and is pretty easy, killed today as a 655 BM hunter with a spirit beast pet. Not much to say but adds>boss.

Edit: Oh one thing to note is burn down War-God Jalak asap when he jumps down, especially if you're still dealing with door adds since he hits quite hard. Actually managed to kill my pet on my kill last week, since I'm now a bit more geared he joined the fight while I was still on the 3rd door (Drakkari) and so had Horridon, Jalak, 2 Warlords, Dinomancer and a set of the risen adds all on my pet at the same time. Even if your pet drops, just quickly res and md/feign to get aggro back on it.

Kommentar von Ozzayel

I just did this for the first time since 6.2 and the dinomancers were really buggy. In 2 attempts and killing 6 dinomancers, only 2 of them dropped an orb.
First attempt only the one from the third door did, and second attempt the first one did and then second one didn't (or the third).
Really irritating as without them you can't close the doors and adds keep coming from doors you've 'finished'. Plus you don't get the increased damage on Horridon.

Luckily on the second attempt as I'd got one on the first door I had enough to nuke him just in time...

Kommentar von Kiingy

Those looking to solo this boss.

If the dinomacers die too quickly they wont drop the orb, so dont nuke them.
They only have ~90k HP and drop the orb around 40%, best to just autoattack or use weak DoTs.

Kommentar von KieraRaelyn

Is there a reason to specifically kill Jalak? I two-manned this with a paladin and while he had Jalak's attention, I nuked Horridon the rest of the way down. Jalak despawned when Horridon died. Just want to make sure I'm not screwing up the pet drop somehow.

Kommentar von KillWithPower

I noticed there are comments for soloing, but want to extend to those looking for the solution i can offer.

Did this on a Ret Pala with 715 ilvl and 753 ring.

Pull Horridon to the portcullis on the left hand side of the area just near the entrance.
Nuke him, and kill all adds that spawn untill a Dinomancer comes.
Treat the Dinomancer with care, you might accidently kill him before he drops the orb.
If he casts Dino-Mend, interrupt him ASAP.
Shouldn't be a problem.

Once the Dinomancer hits below 50% he will drop a white glowing orb.
Click on the orb, and get out of the bosses way, and when the boss charges into the portcullis and stuns himself, nuke the hell out of him.

Jalak will come down and start hitting you and empowering Horridon.
Do the math if you need to kill him.
If you can kill Horridon before Jalak posses a real threat to you, then just ignore Jalak and nuke Horridon.
If you cant manage with Jalak alive, focus him, and then kill Horridon.

Easy kill ;)

On a side note, to take the Dinomancers health down below 50% i used one unempowered Divine Storm.

At level 100, Horridon on 10-player normal was pretty easily soloable as a 685-geared guardian druid. I took a fair amount of damage, but guardian druids have a lot of self-healing ability. I prioritized adds (see last paragraph*) over boss until after the 3rd gate, when Horridon hit 30% and Kriegsgott Jalak came out, then popped all cooldowns and prioritized Horridon (ignoring Jalak) until he died.

At level 100, around 700 item level, the fight seems doable by tanks, and hunters and warlocks using tanking pets. I think it would be more difficult for other classes, because 8 million health is a lot to burn through, and your damage doesn't ramp up until later in the fight, so you'd probably have to survive the adds and boss damage through at least a couple of the gates. I'm just guessing though; feel free to comment with your class/spec/ilevel experience.

I noticed 12 stacks of Tödliche Seuche (applied by Auferstandener Krieger der Drakkari and Auferstandener Champion der Drakkari at the third gate) were ticking away at me for 15k every three seconds after the fight, which adds to the incoming damage, but was not unmanageable during the fight. I killed the Giftpriester der Gurubashi at the second gate before they applied Giftblitzsalve poison.

* Kiingy's advice to dps Dinomant der Zandalaris slowly is important. On my first attempt I killed one quickly, so didn't get an orb, and died from the extra adds, a bit short of killing Horridon.

Demon Hunter - Vengeance (708)

- Damage the boss.
- Kill the adds.
- Damage the boss and so on.
(If you kill a dinomancer, then klick on the disc. Horridon will run into a wall and takes more damage.)

Soloed heroic 25 as a 853 ilvl beast mastery hunter. Long fight but just continue to do hunter stuff to it making sure to kill the dinomancers that spawn..

Kommentar von stfuimshu

25 heroic solo
BM Hunter ilvl 854

Keep a look out for dinomancers, kill those asap. When there is no dinomancer up, go all out on boss and keep moving. Ignored the rest of the adds and killed him under 4 minutes.

Kommentar von Ethna

Normal 10, 110 Ret Paladin, 779 quest gear: When the troll stops shouting, Horridon will run out. Keep hitting him but be aware the adds hit hard and a troll drops an orb that stuns, run away from it. I didn't bother to try to kill the adds and I did fine.

For first timers:
After Horridon, you can run past most of the trash without pulling. You have to kill the ones at the top of the stairs to open the door. When you pass into the circular area you have to kill everything there to open the next door. When you pull, don't worry about the things throwing shadow bolts, they don't even tickle. Just keep running and wait until they are all grouped up and aoe them down.

Kommentar von Hipster

Hopefully this lovely Direhorn model is made tamable for hunters in the future. Would make sense since Thok the Bloodthirsty is tamable currently as a Devilsaur with armor.

Kommentar von Ragnaflock

2017 and lamenting the fact Hunters still can't tame Horridon and give him a better home, alongside his spawn and pygmy direhorn.

Kommentar von murphymurph

Something really changed in the scaling with 7.3.5 today. Now Horridon has 67M HP on 10H and takes forever, I was at 29 stacks of triple puncture on my tank alt when normally I finish him off before the first tribe can reach me.

Kommentar von caroleen

Since Patch 8.0 and the stat squish, Horridon sure needs some scaling down. Druid who was ILvl 935 pre-squish gave up on soloing Throne of Thunder in 10-person Normal after a couple of tries at him. Druid has 25K HP, this guy currently has 2,367K

Kommentar von Sipder2

Horridon will be tameable by Hunters in patch 8.2, you need Uralter Foliant zur Dinomantie to learn the ancient Zandalari secrets of taming Direhorns.

Kommentar von bonekinght

if u want to tame this boss twice for the double pet talent for BM hunters out there. here is a easy trick: tame him don't taunt or anything make sure u have two free pet slots. once tamed. put him away play dead take all your armor off wait a few moments before getting back up then let them kill u I can take a few minutes if u are 120 but the adds keep coming the dots will kill u. once dead it sends u back to the start once this is done exit the raid then renter. u might have to wait a few more moments or play dead after reentering but I promise it will reset and this way there is no wait timer. once this is done just go back to his area and tame again. keep in mind this trick can be done more then twice so yes that means u get a chance at his mount drop as well. if u want.

Kommentar von Kelindre

Hunter here. I just tamed Horridon the other day on 2 of my hunters. For some weird reason, on my Horde hunter, Horridon has a glow around him. Exiting the game, reloading UI, logging out, dismissing the pet. Nothing seems to make it go away. Anyone else ever see this? I've played a hunter since BC. I've never seen this before. I've submitted a pic of what I'm seeing.

Kommentar von Kryplixx

Why can't I rename my pet Horridon? I had no problem with Oondasta.

Kommentar von Relderf

When farming ToT, if you run pass Stormbringer Draz'kil (mob previous to Horridon's room), the boss won't spawn. You gotta get back and kill it.

Kommentar von XTJ10

Just like Oondasta, Horridon has skull-shaped cannons. ndasta][/ur

Kommentar von Nefram

Very simple to tame Horridon twice. Speak to Lorewalker Han and queue for Last Stand of the Zandalari. Tame Horridon, leave group. Repeat, done.

Kommentar von Liike

Yes, Horridon does keep is awesome appearance post-tame! The raid fight will continue after taming.

Kommentar von skyline33

Haven't got it after 112 attempts, which should yield a ~90% chance of dropping. So i bought it on AH for ~1K since the mount dropped today after 112 attempts :)

Kommentar von aprildawn567

You can quickly get a pair to tame if you go in solo. Tame him once, let the adds kill you, then go back and tame him again.

Kommentar von Oomie

WARNING!
If you tame him, it will bug out the raid! The only way to reset is TO DIE!

At level 70, even with all armor removed, dying is nigh IMPOSSIBLE

I managed to hearth out of the raid, but upon return the gate was locked and would not open!

I tried to feign death reset, I tried logging out. Even logged into other characters for 10 minutes. Nothing reset it!

Bugged out for the week!
