Aventura de Oralius can be completed on any difficulty and rewards players with Cristal susurrante de Oralius, an unlimited-charges "flask”.

¡Por los niños!, which can only be completed in Heroic mode, rewards players with Molino Tormenta de Maná as a Garrison follower.

¿Leeeeeeeeeeeeeroy...?Leeroy Jenkins

To complete this achievement, players must locate Leeroy's corpse in the Rookery after killing Kyrak, resurrect it, and then complete all trash and bosses up to and including The Beast before Leeroy's 900-second (15-minute) "chicken timer" expires.

If you do not clear all of those mobs, he will run around pulling everything in the area and die.

Orebender Gor'ashanNotable Trash Mobs:

Bruto Hierro Umbrío - Summons Estandarte de llamamiento, which will pull other packs of trash if not quickly killed

Rabioso Hierro Umbrío - Gains Frenesí, dealing heavy tank damage; can be removed by Enrage-dispelling effects

Taumaturgo de guerra Hierro Umbrío - Casts Tormenta de metralla, summoning a small grenade at the targeted player's location; move away before the Tormenta de metralla explodes

Eructaplomo Hierro Umbrío - attempt to activate Cañón centinelas, which will deal spiky party damage with Disparo de cañón; use crowd-control or stuns to prevent this

Huargo Faucerrabia - Enrages with Rabia Roca Negra, which can be removed by Enrage-dispelling effects; uses Vapuleo frenético on the tank

Cañón centinelaDisparo de cañónNote that this function is disabled in Challenge Mode difficulty.Orebender Gor'ashan Tips & StrategyDoblegamenas Gor'ashan

Gor'ashan will occasionally activate several of the Rune Conduits around the room to empower himself with Conducto de poder, reducing the damage he takes and allowing him to cast Cacofonía de truenos; players must deactivate the Rune Conduits quickly.

Each time Gor'ashan enters this phase, he will activate 2 more Rune Conduits (so first there will be 2 Conduits to deactivate and 2 stacks of Conducto de poder on the boss, then 4 and 4, then 6 and 6, then 8 and 8).

While deactivating Rune Conduits, players must also dodge the two Pulso eléctricos which rotate quickly around the perimeter of the room. Unless the player has a powerful survivability cooldown active, taking any Pulso eléctrico damage is likely to be fatal. The Pulso eléctricos move very quickly and players will find it difficult to deactivate more than two Rune Conduits in a row.

Whenever Conducto de poder is not active, Gor'ashan will raise a Púa de magnetita from the floor, dealing unavoidable heavy damage to any players lingering there. Players must stay on Gor'ashan's platform or the ramp leading up to it in order to avoid the Púa de magnetita. The Púa de magnetita will begin very shortly after the last Rune Conduit is deactivated, so players should use a personal cooldown for the run back to Gor'ashan's platform..

Use Active Mitigation/cooldowns to reduce Hojas de acero damage

Gor'ashan does not melee during Conducto de poder; you can help deactivate Rune Conduits, but be sure to return to the platform quickly to pick Gor'ashan up

Use a cooldown when returning to the platform, in case you are targeted by Púa de magnetita

Use Ansia de sangre/Heroísmo/Distorsión temporal at the start

When Gor'ashan gains Conducto de poder, jump down from the platform, avoid Pulso eléctricos, and click on the Rune Conduit

Speed boost abilities are excellent for Conduit deactivation, but avoid aspect of the pack

Use a personal damage-reduction CD when running back to the platform, in case you are targeted by Púa de magnetita

The tank will take heavy damage from Hojas de acero

The party may take infrequent, heavy damage from Nova de metralla if not avoided

Use throughput or damage-reduction cooldowns during the Conducto de poder/Cacofonía de truenos phase

Stay in the middle of Gorashan's platform during Conducto de poder/Cacofonía de truenos to reach the players deactivating the Rune Conduits

Players struck by Pulso eléctrico or Púa de magnetita will take fatal or near-fatal damage

Stand halfway-2/3rds up the ramp to avoid Nova de metralla

Commander Tharbek Tips & StrategyComandante Tharbek

Players must dodge the Atracacielos Púa Férrea's Aliento incinerador and Flema nociva, as well as Tharbek's Atracador de la Horda de Hierro charge and the Hacha de hierro imbuidas that wander around the room.

These mechanics will deal near-fatal damage if not avoided. Additionally, Tharbek will target random players (including the tank) with Hacha de hierro bleeds, which cannot be avoided and deals significant damage.

When Commander Tharbek reaches approximately 70% health, he gains Ira de hierro, increasing his damage dealt. This will be the most healing-intensive portion of the encounter.

When Commander Tharbek reaches approximately 60% health, Awbee will join the fight, assisting players in a very minor way by damaging Tharbek with Aliento Arcano and melee attacks. This is a reference to the blue dragon whelp, Awbee, who appeared in the original Blackrock Spire as a questgiver near the Stadium.

Move out of the Atracacielos Púa Férrea's Aliento incinerador

Move Tharbek away from Flema nociva and Hacha de hierro imbuidas

Side-step Tharbek's Atracador de la Horda de Hierro charge

Save stronger survivability CDs for Tharbek's Ira de hierro

Avoid the Hacha de hierro imbuidas and Flema nociva puddles

Move out of the way of Tharbek's Atracador de la Horda de Hierro charge

Stay behind, or far away from, the Atracacielos Púa Férrea to avoid Aliento incinerador

Ranged DPS should DoT the Prole Faucemortals flying overhead

Use a personal damage-reduction CD when affected by the Hacha de hierro bleed, especially after Tharbek gains Ira de hierro

The tank, and players affected by the Hacha de hierro bleed, will take heavy damage, especially during Tharbek's Ira de hierro

Players caught in Aliento incinerador or Hacha de hierro imbuida will take near-fatal damage

Use throughput CDs when the party is low, after Tharbek gains Ira de hierro

Avoid the Hacha de hierro imbuidas and Flema nociva puddles

Move out of the way of Tharbek's Atracador de la Horda de Hierro charge

Stay behind, or far away from, the Atracacielos Púa Férrea to avoid Aliento incinerador

Use a personal damage-reduction CD when affected by the Hacha de hierro bleed, especially after Tharbek gains Ira de hierro

Heroic and Challenge Mode Difficulties:Atracacielos Púa Férrea

While both Tharbek and the Skyreaver are active, tank damage is extremely high.

Players should use Ansia de sangre/Heroísmo/Distorsión temporal to finish off the Skyreaver.

Prole FaucemortalSon of the Beast (Optional)Hijo de la Bestia¿Leeeeeeeeeeeeeroy...?La BestiaVigilante de dracos Hierro UmbríoRugido aterrorizadorErupción de llamas

Rugido aterrorizador applies a Physical-school fear (cannot be dispelled); this can be countered by and Tótem de tremor, but by very few other abilities.

Son of the Beast will also rush to the farthest-away target with Carga ígnea, knocking the player back if this is not avoided, and leaving a Fiery Trail on the ground that will damage anyone who crosses its path.

Face Son of the Beast away from the party so his Carga ígnea is more obvious

Move Son of the Beast away from nearby Fiery Trail

Use a survivability cooldown before Rugido aterrorizador, if possible, in case you are feared through Fiery Trail

Ranged DPS should stand more than 10 yards from Son of the Beast to avoid Rugido aterrorizador

Side-step Carga ígnea if you are the target, or put your back to a wall

Melee DPS should move away before Rugido aterrorizador if possible

Players struck by Carga ígnea or who stand in the Fiery Trail it leaves behind will take heavy damage

Outside of these events, most of the damage is moderate tank damage

Use a cooldown on the tank (such as Supresión de dolor) if the tank is afflicted by Rugido aterrorizador

Stand more than 10 yards from Son of the Beast to avoid Rugido aterrorizador

Side-step Carga ígnea if you are the target, or put your back to a wall

Ragewing the UntamedNotable Trash Mobs:

Of these, the Vigilante de dracos Hierro Umbrío are the most dangerous, as they will occasionally break off from the group and run to nearby Whelp cages.

If not stunned or otherwise prevented, the Drake-Keepers will release a pack of 10 Whelps from each cage, rapidly overwhelming the group.

Since Drake-Keepers come in groups of four, players should use single-target CC on some of them to help stagger their attempts to release Whelps.

Tank Ragewing facing just to the right or left of the center of the bridge, so it's obvious when she turns to use Fuego envolvente

Run to the opposite side of the bridge for Fuego envolvente

Get back into melee range quickly to avoid taking Aliento de Fuego damage

Move away from Flema de magma pools

Use damage reduction CDs for high stacks of Garra destripadora

Quickly gather the Cría de Alaíras, and move out of Tormenta de Fuego

When Ragewing lands on the platform after the second Whelp phase, quickly taunt her and face her away from the party

Use Ansia de sangre/Heroísmo/Distorsión temporal at the start of the fight

During Cría de Alaíra phases, AoE the Whelps and stay out of Tormenta de Fuego

Run to the opposite side of the bridge for Fuego envolvente

Move away from Flema de magma pools

When Ragewing lands on the platform after the second Whelp phase, stay behind her

Remove Ragewing's Ira ardiente (an Enrage effect) if possible

Tank damage will be heavy when Garra destripadora stacks are high

Players struck by Fuego envolvente are likely to take fatal damage

Players who stand in Flema de magma pools are likely to take fatal damage

Use damage-reduction or throughput CDs during the Whelps phases

Run to the opposite side of the bridge for Fuego envolvente

Move away from Flema de magma pools and Tormenta de Fuego

Three Jinete de vermis Hierro Umbríos will land on the platform, causing moderate tank damage and minor annoyance with Tirón de cadena.

Vueloférreo Escama de Ascuas drakes will swoop down and cover one third of the platform with Aliento ardiente; this occurs in an alternating pattern, e.g. the first Breath will be oriented east-west, and the next will be north-south, then east-west, etc.

Despite the reach of the graphic, players will take heavy damage from Aliento ardiente if they are standing anywhere in the targeted segment of the platform. Players can watch the drakes to predict their position and preemptively move out of the area to avoid taking any damage.

Jinete de vermis Hierro UmbríoAliento ardiente

Use cooldowns or active mitigation to counter the heavy damage of Punición destructiva

Move away from Zaela as she begins her Ciclón Hierro Umbrío

Pick up the Jinete de vermis Hierro Umbríos when they land, and drag them out of the Vueloférreo Escama de Ascuass' Aliento ardiente

Taunt Zaela when she lands and move her out of the Vueloférreo Escama de Ascuass' Aliento ardiente

Use Ansia de sangre/Heroísmo/Distorsión temporal at the start of the fight

Ranged DPS should stay spread out to minimize Hacha de rebote damage

If targeted by Ciclón Hierro Umbrío, kite Zaela away from allies

If targeted by Tirón de cadena, move away from the adds once you land, but be mindful of Aliento ardiente

Avoid standing in Aliento ardiente

Tank damage will be very high; use tank CDs while the Jinete de vermis Hierro Umbríos are active

Players who stand in Aliento ardiente will be heavily injured

Use damage-reduction or throughput cooldowns when Zaela lands

If targeted by Ciclón Hierro Umbrío, kite Zaela away from allies

If targeted by Tirón de cadena, move away from the adds once you land, but be mindful of Aliento ardiente

Avoid standing in Aliento ardiente

Heroic and Challenge Mode Difficulties:Jinete de vermis Hierro UmbríoRugido de dragónTirón de cadenaRugido de dragón

The knock-back is more problematic than the damage, as it can force players to take damage from Aliento ardiente.

Players affected by Tirón de cadena should move away from the Wyrm Riders as fast as possible, and use a damage-reduction CD if they cannot avoid Rugido de dragón.

Vueloférreo Escama de AscuasAliento ardiente

Note that the same third of the platform cannot be targeted twice in a row.

One simple way to avoid damage is to simply move into the segment that was most recently targeted, after the Breath fades.

I love it that you have taken every roles aspect of the encounters as well as overall mob mechanics. Great guide!

Comentario de pathofcloud

Do you have to rez Leroy immediately? Is it possible to go back and rez him right before Zaela or at least wait until after the trash before the next boss or does the timer start immediately after Kyrak dies?

Comentario de gunsotsu

everbloom
shadowmoon burial grounds
upper black rock spire
grim rail depot

Comentario de 853092

This guide is slightly incorrect. In order to get the Leeroy achievement, you don't need to clear the whole instance. You just need to clear everything up to and including Son of the Beast. Literally all of the trash. Leeroy is lvl 60 and will aggro anything that catches his faintest scent.

In addition, you have slightly more than the 900 seconds to finish. You can start clearing while one person is rezzing, and Leeroy has some dialog before starting the timer. When he's done, he still has to run all the was from the rookery to the Son of the Beast's room which takes a little less than a minute.

Comentario de Claskent

You do not have to clear the entire dungeon, you just have to kill every mob up until Ragewing.

Comentario de Glitterangel

Awesome and indepth

Comentario de 2250

Class and Role breakouts provide basic information to returning WoW vets out of the loop with the patch/xpack changes. It is interesting to compare this instance to the old one I remember running in a 40/15 man group 10 years ago.

Comentario de incenderus

Good job!

Comentario de Dayani

Updated 12/8 - removed bad advice on Gor'ashan, removed section on CM Tharbek that no longer exists in game, removed knockback on Warlord Zaela Heroic/CM difficulty as that never made it to the live version. :) -- Dayani

Comentario de Gharlane

Great guide! My only real quibble is that in the Loot and Rewards section, this sentence:

"Players who complete Challenge Master: Skyreach are awarded the title %s, Scion of Rukhmar."

seems to belong to another guide. Thanks again for posting the guide :)

Comentario de kimpossibleof07

I really appreciate that it was broken down by responsibilities.
