Tortos

Over the millennia, small amounts of mogu flesh-shaping magic seeped into the caverns below the Thunder King’s citadel. The dark energies warped one of the chamber’s native dragon turtles, melding it to the surrounding crystalline walls. Known as Tortos, this amalgamation of flesh and stone has since feasted on the cave’s rich mineral deposits and grown to a colossal size.

Lead Encounter Designer, Ion “Watcher” Hazzikostas:

Along with asking why we fight, and learning that our true enemy is war itself, a major theme of the Mists of Pandaria has been killing turtles. This raid encounter elevates that motif to all-new heights, presenting players with the chance to fight a huge turtle, and small turtles, and also the ability to kick one of the small turtles into the big turtle. What more could you ask for?
Fun fact: We originally wanted to make a fire turtle boss in the southeastern section of Firelands in Patch 4.2, but opted not to at the time; we’ve been looking for an opportunity to do a turtle fight ever since.

Arclight's Turtle Kicking 101
Lessons Learnt and Passed On

Things to keep in mind if you are the designated Turtle Kicker:

Turtle kicking is NOT just for interrupting the boss. This is a vital dps mechanic which requires constant focus and active planning on your part.
When standing behind a dead turtle getting ready to kick, don't stand in the space directly behind the turtle until the time comes to kick. You will have stalactites and other turtles aiming for you, and you want that spot clear for kicking. Stand off to one side or further back, or you will be knocked into the air (or die). Either is not ideal.
The bats should be tanked in front of the boss' head, so when you have a free turtle, kick it through the bats - they will go down faster and the boss also will get the debuff.
If you have a free turtle, and new turtles are about to spawn, and you can be sure you can reach another dead turtle before the boss wants to do his stone breath, wait for the announcement of the turtle call and then kick the turtle straight at the boss' head. Once again, the boss and all 3 new turtles will get the debuff. Also, if there happen to be bats there, they will get the debuff as well. Strike!
You can kick the turtles while in the air. If you are in the unfortunate situation of being knocked in the air while needing to kick the turtle, don't wait to land - it will be fine.
Your dps is secondary to the raid's dps. Don't be greedy. Run. Kick the turtles.

So we were giving this bad boy one of our first trys. Everything was going well when suddenly, bats start attacking the entire raid and we wipe. After that our pally tank says "Sorry, I was kicking a turtle. I couldn't resist the temptation" -.-

Commentaire de Pothemus

Ok, this is a very fun fight that involves a lot of turtles!

Tortos is a single phase encounter and you could bring either 1 tank 3 heal 6 dps or 2 tank 2/3 heals and 5/6 dps.

He'll cast Piétinement sismique every once in a while and it'll take 65% (can be mitigated with defensive CDs) of your max HP off you while increasing the frequency of Chute de pierres. They'll literally spawn under everyone for a few seconds so move out of the blue circles and if possible, don't stand near each other because they do 50k damage to everyone within 20 yards so if everyone is stacked up at melee range there's a chance that someone's gonna die. Healers should pop their big CDs here

Appel de Tortos will summon 3 Tortue tourbillon where they'll move out from behind the boss in a straight line behind before going off after someone. They'll constantly do damage to people standing near them and knocking them into the air with Carapace tournoyante. It does about 70-80k damage when it hits you, it isn't that much. You seem to gain a few second immunity when you land that prevents you from getting knocked up into the air again.

When they are almost dead they'll become inactive turtles that can be kicked using your extra-action button. They'll move forward in the direction that you're facing. They're used to interrupt Souffle de pierre furieux which Tortos casts when he reaches 100 rage. You can pre-kick the turtle if it's very far away when the boss is almost at 100 rage because there is travel time. Failing to do this would most likely ensure in a wipe.

You will want to focus on 1 turtle for the very first set because Souffle de pierre furieux would come shortly after.

Enemies hit by the shell will receive Heurt de carapace which does NOT stack for 20 seconds which increases their damage taken by 25%.You'll eventually have an excess amount of turtles which you can just kick to increase the damage the boss is taking, just make sure you have 1 up for the Souffle de pierre furieux

Chauve-souris des grottes vampirique will spawn in packs of 8(?) and fly down from the roof and they need to be picked up by the OT asap because they'll rip non-tanks apart pretty quickly.

They should be tanked within melee range of Tortos so melee can cleave them down and also get hit by Heurt de carapace when the turtles are kicked. They should be dead before Piétinement sismique or they'll start doing extra damage to the tank because they're below 350k hp, if you're 1 tanking this you'll need to pop defensive CDs to mitigate the Piétinement sismique if you have bats on you but you shouldn't with 6 dps.

TL;dr

- Move out of blue circles

Tank

-MT on boss
-OT tanks bats near boss

Heals
- Use cooldowns during Piétinement sismique
- Keep OT above 350k HP. Main priority to get OT above 350k after Piétinement sismique

DPS
- Kill turtles
- Kill adds
- Kill Tortos
- Kick shell when boss is at 100 rage

It can be useful to bring a pair of Italian plumbers with your raid for this fight.

Commentaire de lightclaw

LFR Strategy:
This is an extremely easy fight, undertuned even for LFR.

All players throughout:
Avoid standing in blue circles, as rocks will be falling there shortly.

Tanks:
One tank takes the boss, the other takes adds. The boss can't be turned, you just stand there and take a beating. Add tank should round up the bats and hold them for AoE.

DPS:
DPS priority is Bats > Small Turtles > Boss

When the small turtles die their shells remain. Ideally the shells will be kicked at the boss in order to debuff it and to interrupt Furious Stone Breath.

Healers:
If Furious Stone Breath is being interrupted and people get out of blue circles, damage in this fight is very light. The add tank can have problems, particularly if people aren't being good about killing the bats, and the boss's Quake Stomp spell hits for ~30% of the raid's health, but by and large this fight is very easy.

tl;dr version:
You really couldn't read that much? OK then...
Everyone: Don't stand in blue circles.

Tanks: 1 on boss, other on adds.

DPS: Bats > Small Turtle > Boss Kick the shells to interrupt Furious Stone Breath.

Healers: Try not to fall asleep.

Macroable version:

/raid Don't stand in blue circles.
/raid Tanks - One on boss, one on adds.
/raid DPS - Bats > Small Turtles > Boss

I look at this boss and right away i think "oh look its the front half of goda"

Commentaire de LoreFreak

As a hunter I must ask... is it tameable? this has to be one of the best looking turtle in the game

Commentaire de KiyeLB

The Turtle kicker really has the most important job, imo. If they miss (on normal, LFR it is trivial) the raid wipes. It is possible to miss =( if you get hit by a different turtle right as you kick, it will move your arrow place. Turtles pressed right against a wall will fly unpredictably. I don't know if this is a bug, but I've seen several different raids experience this.

My tip, since you should have extra turtles about, use the ones in the best locations (the center of the room, those closest to Tortos) for your interrupt kicks, and try and use badly placed ones for getting the debuff on bats. Bats taking 25% extra damage is always a good thing!

Check out my video explaining this fight:

I give a good bit of details on how to be a great turtle goal kicker! =P

Here's a handy macro for kicking the turtles without having to target them first. Works like a charm. Thanks to Tankspot for providing it.

So, two things about the turtles. First, contrary to what the comments on this and other sites led me to believe, you are *not* trying to interrupt the channeling of Souffle de pierre furieux, though it is possible to do. What you should be doing is interrupting the cast itself.

like -2 sec: Raid Message "Tortos is about to cast Furious Stone Breath"
0 sec: Tortos begins casting Furious Stone Breath
like 2 sec: << Right Here, You Want To Interrupt >>
5 sec: Tortos begins channeling Furious Stone Breath
5.01 sec: << Not Here, Though It Will Work >>
5.5 sec: << Because If You Hit Him Here, You Wipe >>

If you aim to interrupt the channel, the timing is almost impossible to maintain. As long as the turtle is in his hitbox while he's casting, the interrupt is successful, giving you a 5-second window of opportunity. Note that you're looking to *hit* him while casting, and the turtles take a while to reach him, so you can actually click the button before he starts the cast and still interrupt him if the turtles are far away.

Edit: You can cheat and kick the turtle around 95 energy and still get the interrupt. This gives you an extra second or two of leeway to avoid potential Chute de pierress. However, he will occasionally cast something else, like Appel de Tortos, which will delay the cast of Stone Breath, which means you have to have another turtle, find it, get to it, and kick it at him, so it can be risky to rely on this.

Also Edit: You'll want to kick excess turtles into bats, other turtles, and the boss (you can even get the Champi vert ! achieve), but I recommend leaving 2 to 3 sitting around the room so there's less chance of being on the far side of the room from the nearest turtle just as he starts casting. Lock gateways can help anyone, and locks can use their own ports (be careful here though, sometimes my teleport wouldn't stick around, so you might need to recast a time or two). Any kind of speed buff is nice as well.

Second, the direction of the turtle is *not* relative to where you are pointing. It is relative to where you are standing. It's easiest to aim at the boss and align yourself, but you can be pointing sideways and hit, or be pointing straight and miss, depending on where you're standing.

This will hit, even if you're looking sideways a bit:
<You> <Turtle> <Boss>

This will miss, even if you are aimed at the boss:
<You>
<Turtle> <Boss>

Imagine a line from the center of your character to the turtle, then extend that line to the edge of the room. If you manually target the turtle, instead of using a macro, it sometimes displays some green arrows to help you get a feel for it (and sometimes doesn't for some reason I don't know).

Also, for Piétinement sismique, as a warlock, I found that Sombre pacte completely mitigates the damage on normal difficulty. It's only every other cast, but it's one less thing the healers need to heal.

Since this hasn't been mentioned yet:

Even though his corpse is a solid object, it is still a viable target for Gin-Ji Knife Set.

This will not change the actual collision, however. It will only change its model to a tiny pile of gore, and your path will be blocked by invisible walls that correspond to where the chunks of Tortos' corpse would be.

Commentaire de Lovestorybro

There's a little room before you get to Tortos where there are a bunch of small water pools in a circle. Stepping on the pools shoots you up into the air and gives you a debuff. Stack the debuff to 250 by bouncing around in a circle and you get a special prize ;P

Commentaire de datgrl

I'm not sure if this is the best place for this tip. I had an experience yesterday,that I hadn't had in the months since the patch dropped. We had new players entering the instance after dealing with the 1st boss, Tortos. We had made the run to the next boss, Megaera, without taking care of a large number of adds. We had lost 2 members in the party in one of the add fights and they were trying to run back. They kept getting killed by the adds that were not cleared. One by one, different members of the party were being ported to the location where the add fight was taking place. Because we had no tank and no heals, we all kept losing the battle and having to run back. We probably spent 20 minutes trying to get past this point in the run. It will save a lot of frustration and speed things up to just take care of the adds on the way to Megaera.

Hope this guy becomes tameable someday like old raid bosses.

He is such a cute turtle. I really hope this guy, or a turtle like him, becomes tamable by hunters one day.

I solo this on 10N with my 690 BM Hunter. I just burn him down and use Deterrence during his Furious Stone Breath.

You still can't tame Tortos, but there is a new turtle in Suramar that has the same model as him:

Commentaire de Berrenger

Solo'd this guy as a level 840 fury warrior. The trick is to ensure your health is always above 65% otherwise his Piétinement sismique ability will smush you.

I used Enraged Regeneration followed by Bloodthirst immediately after the first Piétinement sismique, which got me back to 100%, so even though I wasn't quite fast enough to kill him before the second Piétinement sismique I survived long enough to finish him off (he was about 5% health when he cast it). Other forms of healing are available!

As for the turtles, I aoe'd them down with Whirlwind and Odyn's Fury but didn't bother trying to interrupt the Souffle de pierre furieux - at level 110 the damage it deals is negligible

Commentaire de Ethna

Normal 10, 110 Ret Paladin, 779 quest gear: He summons turtles and you get thrown in the air and damaged when you fall so be prepared for that. Otherwise it’s just straight dps. I didn't bother trying to kill the adds.

For first timers:
If you have to leave after Tortos, when you come back the Stormbridge is broken. Jump off where the little white cloud of smoke is and that will put you back to where Tortos was.

Commentaire de deepspace8

You can't walk through this guy after you kill him for some reason. Someone at Blizzard must have forget this was WoW, not EverQuest II (joking).

Appel de Tortos – Tortos émet un grondement sourd, invoquant plusieurs tortues plus petites qui attaquent les personnages-joueurs.
Tortue tourbillon
- Carapace tournoyante – La tortue pourchasse les personnages-joueurs dans toute la pièce en tournoyant rapidement, infligeant continuellement 425 points de dégâts physiques aux ennemis à moins de 5 mètres en plus de les repousser au loin.
- Blocage de carapace – La tortue se réfugie dans sa carapace lorsqu’il lui reste peu de points de vie, ce qui l’immunise contre tous les dégâts. Pendant qu’elle est dans cet état, les personnages-joueurs peuvent la frapper pour la projeter dans la pièce, toute créature qu’elle touche sur sa trajectoire subissant Heurt de carapace.
- Frapper la carapace – Ce bouton offrant une action supplémentaire peut être utilisé pour donner un coup de pied dans une tortue tourbillon vaincue. Rapprochez-vous de la carapace, puis visez en la positionnant entre vous et votre cible. Les ennemis touchés par la carapace sont victimes de Heurt de carapace.
- Heurt de carapace – Après un coup de pied, la carapace part en tournoyant. Elle interrompt les ennemis et les déboussole, augmentant les dégâts de toutes sources de 50% pendant 15 sec.
Souffle de pierre furieux – Inflige 4954 points de dégâts de Nature à tous les ennemis toutes les 0.5 s pendant 4.5 sec. Son incantation coûte 100 points de fureur.
Fureur grandissante – Tortos se fâche quand aucun ennemi ne se trouve en mêlée. Il gagne ainsi 10 points de fureur.
Chute de pierres – Une stalactite chargée de foudre tombe du plafond de la caverne, infligeant 140 points de dégâts de Nature aux ennemis à moins de 5 mètres et 22 points de dégâts de Nature aux ennemis à moins de 20 mètres.
Piétinement sismique – Tortos frappe lourdement le sol, étourdissant tous les ennemis pendant 1 sec et leur infligeant des dégâts physiques équivalant à 12% de leur maximum de points de vie. Piétinement sismique augmente la fréquence de Chutes de pierres pendant 8 sec.
Coup de mâchoire – La tortue referme ses mâchoires autour de la cible, lui infligeant 13033 points de dégâts physiques.
Chauve-souris des grottes vampirique
- Epuiser les faibles – Draine des points de vie en attaquant des cibles qui disposent de moins de 50000 points de vie, en infligeant 25% des dégâts physiques de l’arme et en soignant le lanceur de sorts de 0 fois les dégâts infligés.
Carapace de cristal – Le cristal réagit lorsqu’il est frappé en recouvrant l’attaquant d'une carapace qui absorbe tous les dégâts et tous les soins. La protection absorbe un montant de dégâts pouvant atteindre 15% du maximum de points de vie, mais les soins absorbés sont ajoutés à ce total, jusqu’à une limite de 75% du maximum de points de vie. La carapace se brise lorsqu’elle ne peut plus absorber de dégâts.
