Primordius

Deep within the bowels of Lei Shen’s island citadel, mogu flesh-shapers formed the saurok out of a magical substance of unknown origin. When the citadel was abandoned, some experiments languished in the dark pools for far too long. . . .

Lead Encounter Designer, Ion “Watcher” Hazzikostas:

The fact that the mogu created the saurok (among other creatures native to Pandaria) is something that may not have been obvious to players who were exploring the continent and learning about its inhabitants. This encounter provided us with a chance to “show, not tell” this piece of Pandaria’s history. The actual mechanics of the fight evolved from discussion and brainstorming around the themes of evolution and mutation; a few of us had also recently watched the movie Prometheus, and the vaults of black goo in that movie helped inspire the overall vibe of Primordius’ lair.

25N:

Kite him constantly.
Just free for all kill adds and walk over pools that are left behind when adds die.
When you're fully transformed, attack the boss.
Rinse and repeat.

The key to kill Primordius is to manage the adds properly and do not let Primordius absorb a certain kind of void zone. (more to this later on)

Primordius himself is shielded by Mutierte Monstrosität which lasts through the whole fight. To bypass this defense players have to become mutated by absorbing beneficial void zones created by killing those small adds that spawn through the complete fight at the pools on the sides of the room.

Managing the Lebendige Flüssigkeit:
Each Lebendige Flüssigkeit spawns a void zone, when killed, which moves slowly to the boss and can be absorbed by players. There are two kinds of void zones Flüchtige Pfütze (purple and cloudy) which are bad in general and Mutagenpfütze (red and small) which can react beneficial or maleficial, depending on the mutation status. In most cases the red voidzones should be absorbed by players.

Let's have a look at the different mutations first. They can be divided into helpful and harmful:

Helpful Mutations:
Each helpful mutation is a stacking debuff, which lasts for 2 minutes.

Starke Knochen (+5% Stats)
Klarer Geist (+10% Mastery)
Reaktive Synapsen (+10% Haste)
Scharfe Sicht (+10% Critical Strike Chance)

Harmful Mutations:
Each harmful mutation is a stacking debuff, which lasts for 5 minutes and has double the strength of the helpful mutations as negative effect.

Dispel:
Dispelling a player affected by those mutations will cause every mutation to disappear, all negative ones, as well as all positive ones.
Fully Mutated:
When you have collected a total of 5 helpful mutations, you will become Vollständig mutiert. Now the Mutagenpfütze will react harmful to the mutated player and should be avoided.
Being Vollständig mutiert allows you to do dps the boss. (Keep in mind, that some players must take care of the Lebendige Flüssigkeit.)
Absorbing a Flüchtige Pfütze causes damage to the player and applies a harmful mutation.

Boss abilities:

Tank specific:
Urzeitlicher Stoß is a frontal cone attack with a range of 7. Do not face the boss towards your group.
Missgebildetes Blut is a stacking debuff on the tank, which deals 20,000 damage per tick and stack. It also increases the damage the affected tank does against the Lebendige Flüssigkeit.

To manage those abilities, have one tank stand before him and the other tank is responsible for dealing damage to the Lebendige Flüssigkeit. Switch tanks, when the debuff runs out. Be careful with Urzeitlicher Stoß, when performing the tankswitch.
Evolution/Mutation:
Primordius has an energy bar, which represents his state of evolution. Each time the bar reaches the maximum, Primordius gains a stack of Evolution increasing his damage done by 10% per stack and giving him access to one additional ability. He can have a total of three abilities active at the same time.
At the beginning of the fight, he starts without those abilities and gains one ability, when the bar reaches it's maximum. When he gains his fourth ability, he looses his first ability.
The pool of abilities, he can obtain is:

Pusteleruption deals 200,000 damage to a 3 yard area every 10 seconds.
Metabolismusschub increases the attackspeed by 50% and decreases his cooldowns by 50%.
Flüchtiges Pathogen deals 60,000 damage per second for a period of 10 seconds to a single target.
Säurestachel deals 110,000 damage to all targets within 5 yards of the target.
Ätzendes Gas deals very high damage to all players within 25 yards of Primordius. In 25 man mode, the melees should be enough to split the damage.
Ventralbeutel deals 22,000 damage per second as raidwide damage.

Most of those abilities require the raid to stand spread out, while the other ones require specificly the healer's attention.

Voidzone effects on boss:

Short Summary:

Do not let Flüchtige Pfütze reach the boss. Kite him away from it.
Kill as many blobs as you can. Behind him is to be prefered, in order not to block the kitepath by Flüchtige Pfütze.
Do not stand before him, unless you are the active tank.
Collect the red voidzones, while not mutated, stay away from them, while mutated.
Always stay away from purple ones.
Let melees get the void zones first, as tehy are more useful, when they can stick to the boss.

I have included a video of the bosskill as warlock PoV, while killing mostly the adds. I did not know any of the boss abilities except the mutation mechanic.

LFR Strategy:
Having killed Durumu (or if you're lucky, having gotten into a 1/3 LFR), this fight is a welcome retreat back into mindless smashing of things and turning into lizard people. Enjoy.

Everyone:
Red puddles are generally good, purple puddles are pretty much always bad. Step in red puddles until you are fully transformed, then try to avoid them. They also do a good bit of damage when you absorb them, so don't run full speed through a bunch, or you'll suicide.

Tanks:
One tanks the boss, the other kills adds. Swap after 5 stacks of the debuff that the boss applies, then when it falls off after that. The debuff gives you a significant damage boost against the slimes.

There are purple puddles that slowly creep toward the boss. Slowly kite him in a circle to keep the puddles from reaching him. Ideally you want to keep him away from oozes as well, but that's pretty tough to do unless your LFR group is much better about killing them than mine was.

DPS:
Kill the red oozes until you are fully transformed, then dps the boss. Once you've transformed, avoid stepping in the red puddles. Always avoid stepping in purple puddles.

Healers:
The boss gains special abilities that cause him to do substantial tank or raid damage occasionally, but by and large this fight is easy. You can be mutated just like the tanks and DPS, so enjoy being a saurok.

In LFR difficulty only negative debuffs are dispelled, so have at it when you're able to do so without going OOM. (Thanks to Sintacks for the correction.)

tl;dr version:
Tanks:
Swap at 5 stacks. Kill oozes if you're not on the boss; your stacking debuff is a damage buff against them. Kite the boss slowly around the room to keep him away from purple puddles. Note that he pauses frequently, so try to keep some distance from them.

DPS:
DPS oozes and step in red puddles until you are fully mutated. Try to kill oozes before they hit the boss. Don't kill yourself stepping in puddles, cause that's embarrassing. Once you're fully mutated, avoid puddles as best you can. Always avoid purple puddles.

Healers:
In LFR difficulty dispelling players only clears their negative buffs, so have at it. Step in red puddles like everyone else. There will be damage spikes when the boss mutates and gains new abilities, but generally speaking it's an easy fight.

Macroable version:

/instance Tanks - Swap at 5 stacks, kite the boss away from purple puddles. Kill oozes if not on boss.
/instance DPS - Kill oozes and step in red puddles until Fully Mutated, then dps boss and avoid all puddles.
/instance Healers - Dispel players.

Smeagol? Is that you?

Kommentar von charlie672

i feeled so sad when i heared his voice, he suffer a lot when he's transforming...

Kommentar von aaglo

I have a strange issue with my priest in here when mutated (atleast in LFR).
My divine star ability normally goes foward (as propably everyone knows).

But when I'm fully mutated, the divine star travels backwards from me... why is that? Does the divine star ability also get a weird mutation? or is it perhaps a bug?

Kommentar von Moonsa

I've been suspicious about the floor in this room.... I sense a trap door.

So when I zoned in today, whilst the textures were loading I saw what was below it, a stairwell down under the trapdoor.

Im guessing thats its the stairwell to Ra(i)-den, can anyone comfirm?

Kommentar von Shirubia

He's looking for the ''Precious'' (Der Eine Ring) in those pools

Kommentar von Sirvi

Gollum called, says he wants his precious back for being the voice of this lizard.

Kommentar von ED209

Fun fact: Primordius' Metabolic Boost, Pathogen Glands and Ventral Sacs abilities are all named after Zerg upgrades in Starcraft 2!

Kommentar von MalachiAD

I had joined into LFR and fell through the floor of Primordius' central platform. There was a long spiral staircase that led to two closed doors. I opened the doors and it took me to a large boss-like room called the "Hidden Cell" - Does anyone happen to know what the purpose of this room is? As of May 8, 2013 - Google turns up with nothing on it.

Kommentar von Bogdanov89

IMO one of the worst bosses ever.

Especially for LFR, but even for organized raids this boss just has horrible mechanics.

Not to mention the annoying high pitched squeals he keeps spamming...

Kommentar von linair

My first time in LFR I dropped through and landed below where the fight takes place. I could not figure out how to get into the fight area. What is the trick to this or was it glitched?

Kommentar von Zigrifid

Primordius reminds me of Melchiah from Soul reaver , anyone else?

Kommentar von Kogal

Here's a different strategy that you can use, at least on normal 10-man.

Start with your comp. Bring 2 tanks, 3 healers, and 5 dps. I wouldn't bring more than 2 melee because it may cause problems with positioning.

Have everyone in the middle of the room, spread out 5 yards apart from each other (because of Säurestachel) While also being within 25 yards of the center of the room (because of Ätzendes Gas) You can easily set this up before the boss is pulled.

Tank starts the fight by pulling the boss to the middle of the room or group. Once threat is established, lust and start using all your dps CDs. Ignore blobs, just focus on boss. Tanks trade off at 5 to 6 stacks of Missgebildetes Blut. Simple tank and spank and a kill can be made. Most of our dps using this strategy was under 100k, but we still managed to get a kill with a couple minutes to spare.

Using this strategy, damage will get a little spiky, especially towards the end. If the boss gets the Metabolismusschub mutation, tanks need to be ready to rotate cooldowns as needed to keep the damage under control. Healers, don't be afraid to use your cooldowns early. Just communicate with your other healers so that you don't overlap and wind up wasting them. For DPS, this is easy time. Just don't move, keep using your CDs as they become available, and hit the boss until it stops moving.

Achieving a kill using this method will almost guarantee that you also receive the Genetisch unveränderte Organismen Achievement.

I would like to note that my guild is in no way a serious raiding guild, and yet this strategy worked well for us.

edit: corrected some spelling

Long, long ago, a zergling accidentally found its way to Pandaria. The mogu, not knowing what to do with the creature, locked it in a basement and forced it to watch the Lord of the Rings on an infinite loop...

Kommentar von Knuckinphutz

I vote we gather all the Horde Priests and resurrect poor Primordius to become the Horde mascot, or Warchief, whichever is safer!

Kommentar von 1187544

He is kind of a mix up between Gollum and Duckie from the Land Before Time.

Kommentar von Crawclaw

This poor guy. I sort of feel bad whenever I kill him. Sucks because gameplay-wise he's my favorite boss in the instance. He just wants to not feel like a failure.

Kommentar von thebl4ckd0g

Tried soloing him today on 25m Heroic as a lvl 110 Outlaw Rogue with 895 ilvl. Lowest I could get him was down to 40%, and he just kept healing up and eventually wrecked me. Not sure if I just need more better ilvl gear or if I'm doing the fight wrong solo... or if you just can't solo it atm.

Kommentar von albinoette

Tried to solo this on 25H today (Oct 2017) and, as others have noticed, it's hard to out-dps the boss's healing on a mid-geared level 110. For me (on a prot paladin), it worked to do the following:

Use Fedtmule's advice to kite the boss around the perimeter of the room.
Turned off "run" so that I was "walking" (I think the default is Num Lock or / - you'll see it in your Key Bindings).
Under Game Menu > Interface > Accessibility, I enabled "Show Move Pad"

I then pulled the boss, initiated an auto-walk backwards with the Move Pad (the down arrow/v), and kited the boss around the perimeter of the room. I used as much AoE as possible, and switched focus to any Lebendige Flüssigkeits that got too close and might be used by the boss for healing.

I'm not sure it will work as well for casters that don't have a lot of insta-cast or cast-while-moving abilities as it did for me using a melee character - but it was way easier for me to do it this way. If I'm able to get a caster with enough dps leveled up and into the raid, I'll try to test and update.

Kommentar von Volleynova

Just another Gollum wannabe...

Kommentar von kinark

Easy to solo as balance. Just keep Starfall on top of him and he will never heal. Goes faster if you get mutated.

Kommentar von mjblink

Something odd happened on my most recent LFR run. I got overzealous and accidentally picked up a debuff from one of the ooze puddles. The odd thing was that after picking up one debuff, I was constantly having the debuffs recast on me every second. I had all four debuffs stacked to 5 for the rest of the run. Tried logging out, reloading, decursing, ice blocking, and casting invisibility. The debuffs sometimes dropped on relog, but continued casting on their own again, even by the time I was in Dark Animus' room. The debuffs only dropped upon leaving the instance (after slowly killing Dark Animus with 3.6s cast frostbolts).

EDIT: A couple hours later, have been logged out for a while. Volatile Mutation is still ticking on me every second and doing ~48dps (basic hp regen outheals it). If I return to any wing of ToT, I get all the debuffs again. The damage ticks actually interrupt trying to use a mount. Luckily, this happened on my mage which can just keep up Ice Barrier. Pretty annoying. Also, the ticketing system in this game is terrible.

EDIT 2: I finally got rid of Volatile Mutation by flying up really high and falling to my death.
