Night Fae Covenant Dungeon Buff in De Other SideHaunted UrnDe Other Side Dungeon LayoutNotable Ring Trash Mobs

The Risen Warlord will periodically put up the Undying Rage making them deal 100% bonus damage and be unable to be killed. This should be Soothed or the Tank should kite until the buff drops.

Death Speakers have a frontal blast called Erupting Darkness that knocks players back. You can dodge this ability, since it won't kill you as long as you don't get flung of the edge!

Enraged Spirit

These alternate between casting Enraged Mask and Rage.
Enraged Mask summons many Mask adds on top of random party members. These Masks don't do anything except cast an AoE in a small area around them. They have very little health, but do not need to be killed -- just dodged as they'll despawn after performing their localized AoE.

Rage deals heavy party damage for 6 seconds. Healers should be ready for this.

If they are interrupted using a Stun or Knockback, they will instantly start casting again.

If they manage to finish the Devoted Sacrifice cast, they will turn into a Son of Hakkar. These fixate random players and deal high AoE damage, dropping a large void zone on the floor when it dies.

It's much easier to focus and kill the Atal'ai Devoted before they transform, using interrupts to prevent them from finishing the cast.

Atal'ai Deathwalker

These will periodically cast Bladestorm dealing very high damage to anyone in the effect.

Melee should run away or stun the channel to avoid taking damage.

When the Atal'ai Deathwalker dies, it turns into an Immune Spirit that lasts for about 12 seconds that will chase down a player.

This player just needs to run away!

Atal'ai High Priest casts Renew and Heal which should be interrupted.

Atal'ai Hoodoo Hexxer casts Healing Wave which also should be interrupted.

Hakkar Boss Tips and Strategy in De Other SideHakkar the SoulflayerSon of Hakkar

These adds will cast Blood Nova dealing AoE damage while alive, increasing in damage every time it's cast.

They also fixate on random players, and should be taken near the boss for easy cleave.

When they die, they will turn into a large pile of Spilled Essence for 20 seconds before reanimating with full health.

The longer the fight goes on, the more Son of Hakkar you'll have to juggle during the encounter!

Corrupted Blood

Every 3 seconds, the debuff will spread to other targets that are inside the circle.

If you have this debuff make sure to spread out!

Blood Barrier

This deals damage to all players and puts up an absorb for the amount of damage the ability does.
Using damage reductions will reduce the size of the absorb!

This also hits any alive Son of Hakkar, which will also increase the size of the absorb.

Blood BarrierBlood Barrage

Getting hit by one deals damage and reduces your damage done, making it harder to break through the absorb!

Blood Barrage

The Manastorms Boss Guide in De Other SideNotable The Manastorms Trash Tips and TricksDefunct Dental Drill

This only casts one ability, Haywire which deals a very high amount of AoE damage for 4 seconds.

Unless your Healer says they can heal through it, we'd recommend that you line of sight the ability around one of the corners.

4.RF-4.RF targets a random player with W-00F, make sure to move away from other players to avoid stunning them.

For the , watch out for their Spinning Up cast which deals high damage in melee range.

Volatile Memory mobs will blow up when their timer expires, try not to be in range.

The last little bit you'll have to content with is a small walkway overlooked by two pipes.

These pipes will periodically fire sludge out of them, knocking any player hit by them off the walkway to their death!
Make sure to time your movements quickly.

The Manastorms Boss Tips and Strategy in De Other Side

You'll start the Manastorms encounter facing Millhouse Manastorm.

His first ability is Power Overwhelming which summons a Pink Crystal.

This Pink Crystal will aim a beam directly at Millhouse but can be blocked by players.
Blocking the beam will stack a debuff Power Overwhelming increasing damage but also taking more damage from the beam.
If the damage starts getting too high, someone else should soak the Pink Beam.

The only other mechanic in this phase is cast by Millificent Manastorm called Echo Finger Laser X-treme.

This marks two players with a red arrow over their head, and after a few seconds draws a line between them dealing damage.
A seconds later, it'll erupt dealing even higher damage and stunning anything in its path.
This damage also affects Millhouse Manastorm, so the two marked players should make sure that Millhouse is between them.

After awhile,

Millhouse will cast Shadowfury on random party members. This is indicated by a blue circle around the player.

After a few seconds, Shadowfury will explode dealing damage and stunning everything in the circle.
This also affects Millificent so the player that gets Shadowfury should make sure that Millificent is in the circle.

Dealer Xy'exa Boss Guide in De Other Side

Notable Dealer Xy'exa Trash Tips and Tricks

The trash to Dealer Xy'exa is mostly straightforward and can be AoE'd down.

Weald Shimmermoth casts Soporific Shimmerdust which forces you to keep jumping or else you'll fall asleep.
Mythresh, Sky's Talons will periodically fear players within 8 yards when it casts Wailing Grief.

Dealer Xy'exa Boss Tips and Strategy in De Other Side

Dealer Xy'exa has very few abilities, but they can be deadly if performed incorrectly.

Her main mechanics involve dealing with Displacement Trap.

These look like portals on the ground.
Stepping into one teleports you high into the air, before landing and taking some falling damage.
These portals are used to dodge Dealer Xy'exa's various mechanics.

Dealer Xy'exa will periodically cast Localized Explosive Contrivance, planting a bomb on a random player.

This player will be marked with the standard bomb timer icon over their head.
A couple seconds before the Bomb detonates, this player should step into a Displacement Trap.
This will make the bomb explode above every player's head.

Dealer Xy'exa will also periodically cast Explosive Contrivance.

After a long cast time, this will deal a large amount of damage to everyone that is still on the ground.
About 2-3 seconds before the cast finishes, all players should hop into a Displacement Trap to dodge the attack.

Mueh'zala Boss Guide in De Other Side

Notable Mueh'zala Trash Tips and Tricks

There is no trash after you've completed all 3 wings of the other side. Instead, Mueh'zala will appear in front of the wing where you killed the last boss.

Mueh'zala Boss Tips and Strategy in De Other Side

Mueh'zala has two phases and while he looks like he has a lot of health, you really only need to 10% of his health. The other 80% of his health will come from fight mechanics.

His first phase will take place on one of the large platforms. One of his mechanics is called Master of Death.

Mueh'zala will perform 3 slams in a random order:
A Slam on the Left Side of the platform -- indicated by pulling back his arm on the Left Side of the platform.
A Slam on the Right Side of the platform -- indicated by pulling back his arm on the Right Side of the platform.
A Slam on the Front Half of the platform -- indicated by raising both his hands and turning them green

These slams will not repeat, so you should always know and be prepared for the final slam.

His other ability in this phase is Cosmic Artifice which is a DoT placed on non-tank party members.

When it's dispelled or expires, it'll deal some AoE damage to the group, but drop a big Orb in the area that will dea damage to nearby players after a short period of time.
Players should make sure that they are away from the center of the room when their debuff expires.
Dodging Master of Death with Orbs in the middle is much harder!

After a period of time, Mueh'zala will cast Shatter Reality, a long cast that will instantly kill anyone that remains on the platform when the cast finishes.

However, Bwonsamdi will open 4 portals that can give you a quick escape route off the platform.
Each of the 4 portals will be placed in set locations, that will take you to different locations, depending on where you want to go.

There will be a Totem protected by a purple shield on each corner of the ring and a Shattered Visage add that spawns.

On Mythic 0 difficulty, you can probably split into 2 groups - a Tank, DPS and Healer and two DPS.
Where should your group go? You'll want to head to any of the corners that currently has a shielded Totem.
On the first Phase 2, it doesn't really matter as all Totems will be shielded still.
On subsequent Phase 2s, it's important to only head to Totems that are still shielded as you can only hit each Totem once.

Once you get to your platform with your group, you'll want to kill the Shattered Visage and then click the totem.
Don't forget to click the totem.

You only have a set amount of time to kill the add and click the Totem.

After this, Mueh'zala will pull all players back to his platform and being Phase 1 again.
Bwonsamdi will then cast Bwonsamdi's Fury once for every Totem that was clicked, dealing 20% of Mueh'zala's health.
Bwonsamdi will also buff players with Bwonsamdi's Fervor -- one stack for every Totem that was clicked in the Phase.

On future portals, make sure to head to only platforms that still have a Totem shielded as you can only click each Totem once!

the Atal'ai Deathwalker can be dispelled to get rid of them. The blood elf racials works too.

Comment by Kelxzta

Engineers can also stop the slime conveyer belt using the button immediately on the left upon entering that room on the way to the Manastorms

Comment by Isfendiyar

A fungeon, including a glimpse of Temple of Atal'hakkar, Mechagon Workshop and Ardenweald.

Alot of funny chitchats between Mueh'zala and Bwonsamdi.

Also, Bwonsamdi has special interactions based on your faction. If you are from Horde, he is really excites to see you as an old friend. If you are from Alliance, he also gets excited but with an apologetic manner for what happened at Dazar'alor.

And finally, Mueh'zala, when he enters the combat, he spills some lore infotmation about he was the one who whispered Vol'jin as to make Sylvanas to be the next Warchief, pulling Helya from Helheim and to introduce her to Jailer and make a deal with Odyn by Odyn's eye for making Odyn to see Shadowlands.

Comment by kevincuomo

Does anyone know if when you get the "Bwonsamdi's Fervor" buff after you kill the totums, if that stacks with lust?

Comment by yellowbiz

Can you actually see which totems are shielded? Or do you just enter a different portal for your 2nd time?

Comment by altdani

Hey.
Is there a way to move or disable the subtitles in the dungeon?
My UI is right in the middle of the box and i would not like to click it each time while trying to heal up. I dont mind hearing it or reading it because its actually good, but i would like to move it.
Thanks

Comment by whquaint

Is this guide correct about 4 portals for Mueh'zala? Other players say there are only two, in the front by his fists. We did the same two twice and that worked.

Comment by wombatringo

Fairly large ommision on the Dealer Xy'exa fight. The Arcane Lightning she casts is a debuff that does ticking damage and also increases the damage you take from the same ability when and if you are hit with it again. The way to avoid taking too much damage is to stand close to a different player than was previously affected, because the lightning jumps to the closest player upon expiration. If you get hit with it two times, you're taking a lot of damage. Help your healer out by using any magic-dampening or defensive cooldowns you have. If you're low already, you're probably going to die from falling damage when you go up for the bomb phase.

Comment by Hhalle567

Spatial Rift Striders are listed as Mail Shoulders - they are Mail Feet.

Comment by TerribleAtGames

Mueh'zala boss notes to myself which might help other too:

* The portal phase always starts earlier than expected on Normal and Heroic.
* Don't wait for the side portals to spawn. Normal and Heroic only have the front portals.

Comment by Tevoll

Why is this ability not highlighted in the M+ guide for Dealer Xy'exa:

Arcane Lightning - group damage - deals arcane damage, applies a stacking debuff that increases your damage taken from arcane damage by 5% per stack, and every 9 seconds it arcs damage to the nearest player.

Arcane Vulnerability is best passed between 3 party members to allow the debuff to properly reset (in melee if you have 2 melee players, or in ranged if you have 3 ranged players)
You should bounce it to someone new around 3-4 stacks

It's killing parties left and right.

in rdf use your hooves instead the outer portals
