Naj'entus's Vertebrae can be useful for handling Imps, but since they're largely killed inside Battle Cry, it's not necessary.

Kil'jaeden's Burning Wish is one of the better trinkets for bursting down groups of Imps, if you can't quite handle them normally.

Sephuz's Secret can be kept on cooldown, making it one of the stronger legendaries for this encounter.

Mannoroth's Bloodletting Manacles gives you a ton of sustain allowing you to focus more on damage and less on surviving.

Prydaz, Xavaric's Magnum Opus is incredibly useful for reducing incoming damage.

Prydaz, Xavaric's Magnum OpusMannoroth's Bloodletting ManaclesTrinketsAny damage trinkets should be helpful, below are some suggestions but some of them are rather difficult to obtain and won't provide too much of a benefit, but if you have a decent item level of these trinkets they will help you out.

Draught of Souls is perfect for taking down Agatha's shield quickly, even without cooldowns, which allows saving Battle Cry for AoE.

Convergence of Fates allows more frequent use of Battle Cry this can make it not line up with Umbral Imp spawns but brings a lot of extra damage.

Gronntooth War Horn is up very often, and adds a large damage boost due to all of the enemies being demons, despite being an old and low ilevel trinket.

Claw of the Crystalline Scorpid causes frequent multi-target damage which can help slowly kill imps while maintaining focus on the boss.

Giant Ornamental Pearl is somewhat gimmicky, but can be very useful for players who have issues dealing with Scorching or Umbral Imps during Agatha's shield.

Toe Knee's Promise useful for bursting down groups of imps quickly when synced with other cooldowns. Similar options include Terrorbound Nexus, Ravaged Seed Pod and Windscar Whetstone.

Consumables

Potion of the Old War

Flask of the Countless Armies

Defiled Augment Rune

Spiced Falcosaur Omelet

You can try using a Lightblood Elixir but it isn't necessary to defeat this encounter.

Kill Smoldering Imps at the start of the fight.

Single target Agatha.

Move to Agathta's side if necessary to drop Fuming Imp puddles atop one another, then move out and continue DPS.

Dark Fury shield will appear - break and interrupt - do not use Battle Cry yet (Avatar can be used on this).

Umbral Imps will spawn along with a second group of Servants - change target to Umbrals or Servants, use Battle Cry and AoE them all down.

Return focus to Agatha.

Repeat until 50% - phase 2.

Phase 2Fel Lava BlastPiercing HowlStep-by-step Recap

Chase Agatha to the end of the hallway.

Dodge boulders.

Continue dropping Fuming Imp Plague Zones to the left or right of Agatha - leave yourself enough room to run from left to right without being slowed.

Scorching Imps will spawn alongside Umbrals, make sure they die in a timely fashion with the rest of the imps, or their stacking debuff can ramp up quickly.

Handle Dark Fury as in phase 1

Use Heroic Leap and Charge to chase Agatha to the other end of the hallway when she teleports.

Save Battle Cry and Odyn's Fury for Umbral imp spawns.

Repeat until 0%.

Tips + tricks

Death and Glory is incredibly useful here, the extra damage will help kill Imps faster and healing procs offset the constant incoming damage.

Enraged Regeneration can save your life if you get hit by an unexpected boulder.

Piercing Howl can slow Fuming Imps or Servants, so that they take longer to catch up to you or Agatha, however take care not to desync sets of Servants - the idea is to kill them all together, not space them out.

Drums of Fury can be used at any time, the beginning of the encounter is static and more dps can be gained, though the end of the encounter is more of a race, as Plague Zones stack up.

Avoiding boulders is crucial in phase 2, as they can sometimes tick twice and instantly kill the player. Avoid dropping Plague Zones in the middle of the hallway so that you aren't slowed and unable to escape their path.

The challenge is a mechanics check more so than a DPS one. Stopping damage to avoid a boulder or place a Plague Zone is more important than dealing it yourself, so focus on handling imps and avoiding damage to win.

you cant do #$%^ without the najentus belt
maybe with 950ilvl

Comment by jaykaywhy

her lair is considered "outdoors" so a bunch of buffs that wouldn't normally function work in dungeons or instances work against her.

For example, Lightblood Elixir, Sylvan Elixir, the Armies of Legionfall buff all work inside her lair.

Comment by Demiurgi

I found a way to make this a little bit easier.
I got the npcscan addon, added the npc ID: 115640 in the NPCs -> custom tab,
set detection interval to minimal and put on the sound alerts.
So it alerts every time a fuming imp spawns.

It made the challenge easier because I had 1 thing less to keep track of.

This is so damn frustrating. I have been trying to do this since iLevel 880. I am now 940. Fury Warriors cannot survive because we take that ridiculous and pointless extra 20% damage while enraged and we have no decent ability to heal or mitigate damage. Enraged Regeneration is useless. I keep hoping for Prydaz but it hasn't dropped. Everything else has so at least it should be next. Sigh.

Ok after having done this at 940ish ilvl (crafted heal belt+ Manno bracers), there's a few pointers.
First off, contrary to the above guide. I would actually recommend doing damage to imp servants as quickly as possible all the time. Don't go to them, wait till they are near Agatha. Do as much damage as possible till they are dead or if close to a Dark Fury, as low health as possible. Hopefully 1 should be down during Dark Fury so they don't heal shield too much.

Secondly, get Lightblood elixir. It is a must by now. It drastically reduced the time doing the encounter, with being my 2nd highest damage ability through the whole fight. Adds and Dark Fury shield is no longer a problem. It stacks with whatever main stat flask you have.

Hope this helps.

So I've already unlocked Helya's Gaze, now can I go into tank spec and queue RDF so i can unlock the red version of it or must i be in fury spec?

Comment by khadgar940

totally useless guide.
These disgusting imps will now hide below this &*!@#'s giant abs.
The whole challenges are just useless joke

Blizzard just make a trash mob cheat so it can be hard.
Brainless design.

Comment by Tanthe

Anyone know the exact timing on the Fuming Imps? Otherwise, anyone know if there is a way to have DBM keep track of that timer? Those keep screwing me over, and I die in P1, with her at about 60% as I run out of places to move to.

Comment by Wulfrich

It is possible to ignore mechaincs with 930 gear ? just burst her ?

Thanks
