Second and final boss in Forge of Souls, required to enter Pit of Saron

Commento di 315859

Seems to look just like the Reliquary of Souls in The Black Temple.

Commento di okinyo

Well I fought this boss (on Normal), he switches between the three essence faces much like the reliquary of souls, when he switches to sorrow, he summons tons of un-targetable adds which do minor damage alone, but he summons roughly 30 of them, and they last for the duration of this essence, then he switches back to anger, does a phantom blast similar to reliquary of souls. He switches to the essence of desire, and shoots a beam similar to C'thun, Mimiron, etc. Which you have to run away from as it circles around. His most dangerous ability is his soul mirror, it will deflect all of the damage he takes to whomever it targets. I also believe he does some sort of aoe you have to run from, although I have only fought him once, so I cannot confirm. If someone can make another post showing it's abilities, that would be amazing.

Devourer of Souls
<Man Eater Bug>
The second boss of The Forge of Souls.

Phantom Blast 15 yd range - Inflicts 11700 to 12300 Shadow damage. It's a 2 seconds cast.
Phantom Blast (Heroic) Inflicts 17550-18450 shadow damage. It's a 2 seconds cast.
Mirrored Soul 100 yd range - The Overseer of Souls mirrors the targets soul! A percentage of damage from the Overseer of Souls is being mirrored with you. It's a 2 sec cast.
Well of Souls 40 yd range - The Overseer of Souls leaps towards a target, slamming the ground creating a Well of Souls. Inflicts 2925 to 3075 Shadow damage. It's a instant cast.
Well of Souls (Heroic) 40 yd range - 3900 to 4100 Shadow damage. It's a instant cast.
Unleashed Souls - The Overseer of Souls is releasing tormented souls periodically. It's a 0.85s cast. Lasts 5 seconds.
Wailing Souls - Lets loose Wailing Souls, inflicting 4875 to 5125 Shadow damage to anyone in front of her and knocking them back. This is the initial warning debuff cast on the starting player. Does not do any damage. It's a instant cast. Lasts 4 seconds.
Wailing Souls (Heroic) - Inflicts 6825-7175 Shadow damage. It's a instant cast.

How do I not get owned by The Devourer of Souls
The Devourer fairly continuously casts Phantom Blast on the main tank if she is not doing anything else. You can intercept Phantom Blast, which I strongly recommend to do. This is her 'main' attack. While Mirrored Soul is active, any damage dealt to the Devourer will be mirrored proportionally with whoever has the debuff. This means you need to stop attacking her or you will die. Another ability of hers is called Unleash Souls. The Devourer will on occasion stop whatever else she is doing and summon a very large number of wraiths. They do not hit very hard but there are a lot of them and they cannot be targeted. Run away if the damage taken winds up being too great. And as her final ability she's having something called Wailing Souls. The Devourer will unleash a wail of souls. She does a 90 degree sweep of the room starting from the position of a random, but debuffed player. She starts wailing around three seconds after casting the debuff, and will wail for 15 seconds. Anyone caught in front of her takes a very high amount of damage ticking every 0.4 seconds.

Reminded me of The Plant from Little Shop of horrors and Mother Brain's voice from Captain N when first aggro'd...

Warrior tanks when the face is doing Phantom Blast you can use shield bash and or spell reflection.

Commento di 494759

The Mirror will show a red strand connected to the person getting mirrored. When the strand goes away, dps. Run from ghosts. Avoid spots on floor, kinda like the purple stuff in gundrak. That's about it.

Commento di 269967

DKs, refrain from using your Army of the Dead during this fight. The ghouls are not intelligent enough to cease attacking during Mirrored Soul and can quickly drop a party member through their attacks.

Commento di 357778

Honestly, first time we did this guy, i couldnt stop laughing. its almost identical to the Wizard of Oz! Even sounds like him too ^^

Commento di 91650

FYI, there's a false strategy going around which involves someone telling the healer they aren't allowed to heal during the Mirror Soul phase because "if you cast while he targets you, you'll die a horrible fast death". This strategy is totally BOGUS and needs to be treated as such. The people spouting it have no sources, and both wowhead and MMO champion contradict it.

Now if you'll excuse me, there's this mage whose face needs melting...

Commento di canyoneagle

Just to get a clarification, does the mirrored soul only affect one person with the debuff, or does ALL damage need to cease from all parties? The comment above about army of the dead seems to imply that ALL damage needs to cease, not just from the one with the debuff.

I didn't see this mentioned anywhere, but Hunters can safely Feign Death to drop the Mirrors Debuff. It goes on to the next phase instead of transferring the debuff to someone else like I feared it would.

Commento di Dusklight

Something I noticed was that he has the same (last half) death quote as The Prophet Skeram in AQ40.

Devourer of Souls = /run PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\DevourerofSouls\\FS_DevourerMale01_Death01.wav");

The Prophet Skeram = /run PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Skeram\\SkeramYouOnlyDelay.wav")

Creepy.

Commento di 135267

Just solo'd this boss on heroic, such an easy boss, im surprised i am the first to comment doing so.

Commento di 267513

Has anyone else noticed the possibility of a Legend of Zelda reference in this boss? In Legend of Zelda: Oracle of the Ages for GBA the boss of the second dungeon was, for the most part, the exact same this as the Devourer of Souls, although a little less evil-looking. Obviously this could be pure coincidence and have nothing to do with Legend of Zelda, but I thought I might as well mention it.

Commento di 97783

In Heroic mode,Phantom Blast will fill your Runic Power when absorbed by Anti Magic Shell (it gives +154 RP)

Commento di 334142

The Devourer casts Phantom Blast constantly on the main tank if he is not performing another ability.

This is not 100% accurate. Just got done getting my face owned 3 times with my rogue from this attack. Every time he turned, shot me, then went back to the tank. I was at <50% aggro each time, so I know it wasn't because I was in the lead on that.

Commento di 326660

NO he sounds like the Lion from South Park ( DO you like jokes?) XD

Commento di 366773

This guy is creepy as hell. He's especially creepy after you watch this scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-XAz8njMiU) from The Princess and the Frog.

Yes, I know I just compared WoW to a Disney movie. But still...it's creepy as hell.

Commento di 302591

I dont know if any1 else has noticed it but warriors can use "reflect spell" when he casts the Phantom blast,and it is also interrupable

Commento di Poorlonesomewarr

As of now, he/she/it will now cast Mirrored Soul less times in an encounter.

Why was I downrated? That was in the last patch notes themselves, it's 100% accurate.

Just got Battered Hilt off the boss, first time I have ever seen it off anything but trash.

He needs to return in Cataclysm to devour MORE souls.

I've never tried it on my hunter, because I've only gotten Forge of Souls once with doing several dungeons a day >.>, but my guess is that deterrence also works to stop the Mirrored Soul ability considering it gives a 100% chance to deflect all spells.

Commento di Random0214

Viewing this model in 3D (Java in particular) shows a humorous glitch with the top model. One can only wonder what that one is used for, as well as the small ball on the bottom.

Commento di 98346

Okay, just got done with this fight, and was only the third time I had done it. I'm a DK, btw.

Warrior asks me to help interrupt on the boss. First time I'd been asked, so okay, I'll toss Mind Freeze and Strangulate when they're up.

Strangulate got an Immune, and I was too close to him to see if Immune popped with Mind Freeze, but that I was seeing, it wasn't working either.

Am I being mental or did the warrior not have a clue?

Commento di 328942

This boss gets my title of the most annoying boss in the history of WoW. Killed it 37 times, seen my arpen trinket 5 times. 3 times lost to a paladins (!), 2 times to hunters in greens, who gained not only the trinket but also the achi for hc FoS -.- now that's a bad luck.

Commento di 303818

Tip for tanks: on my paladin I found more than 70%+ of the damage I was receiving was from Phantom Blast from the boss! Even if you're the only paladin in the group, I highly recommend switching from Devotion Aura to Shadow Resistance Aura which is 130 shadow resist to each and every member of your group within 40 yards! Obviously, if you're not the only paladin, beg them to switch auras even if it messes up their damage stats.

This tip combined with making sure dps avoided purple circles (I kited the boss a little each time past the circle which spawns below it to help out melee dps) and ALL stopped dps'ing boss when someone had a Mirrored Soul link (wavy red beam from boss) ensured that fight was very straightfoward bordering on tank and spank.

Other tips: the adds can be totally ignored and are basically a healer problem, unless it stops them casting for some reason due to pushback, in which case try to get a shield/HoP on the healer. The frikkin slow moving laser beam is such an obvious and easily avoided mechanic that it is barely worth mentioning.

Commento di cawfee

It was a slow night, so I decided to solo him on my 85 bear in blue 333 gear. The summoned souls can be outrun if you go up the stairs toward the portal (good time to throw some healing on yourself too!); the beams are slow-moving and can be easily dodged (once again, healing time!). Make sure not to attack him while Mirrored Soul is up, and the rest is fairly straightforward hitting him in the face(s) until he dies.

Also don't make the same mistake I did and run away from the souls the way you originally came, or he'll despawn on you.

Commento di 798990

Devourer of Souls' tactic:

Second boss in FOS can cause some problems. Tank should have two macros ready: /say STOP ATACKIN>> MIRROR and /say RUN BEHIND BOSS>> LAZER.

When boss is casting Mirrored Soul, everyone must STOP dps: his mirror transfers dmg onto random player. That's when most parties get wiped, because dps continues to attack boss; so it is tank responsibility to use macro spam (/say STOP ATACKIN>> MIRROR).

When boss is castin Wailing Souls, everyone should go into boss' face, walk thorugh him and stand behind him. That's when most ranged dps die: by standing on max range and being unable to RUN behind boss. That's why everyone, including healer and ranged, should stay close to tank during the fight. Tank, on the other hand, must use macro spam again and again (/say RUN BEHIND BOSS>> LAZER).

It is not dps race, healer won't run out of mana. All other things this boss does are not worth mentioning. I've done him lots of times as a tank using this tactic (spamming both macros accordingly). Spamming macro is vital; not everyone gets the message first time.

Just stop dpsing on mirror, and stay close to tank to run behind boss, when lazer pops up. Tank use macro spam. Enjoy!

Commento di Darkicon

Soloable in heroic at 85 but kind of tough without a decent heal.

For hunters, since our only heal comes from Chimera Shot and it's not much, you have to be VERY careful when he uses Unleashed Souls, they will kill you if you stand there and try to eat the hits, you'll probably end up using Deterrence. I tried to eat the hits, used Chimera Shot when I got too low but I still had to blow Deterrence. Really as long as you can make it through the Unleashed Souls, the fight is easy, just stop attacking when Mirrored Soul is up (Make sure your pet does too, set your pet to Passive before the fight so he won't go back to attacking when you use Follow), avoid the Well of Souls and Wailing Souls.

Commento di LFox

Soloed on heroic as a 85 feral druid with tankish talents and 352 blue pvp gear. While the fight is difficult, once you know how it works fully it's actually not as difficult as it first seems.

Start in bear form and dps the boss. I tried to keep up demoralizing roar whenever i could and popped barkskin every now and then. Everytime your skullbash is ready and he's casting phantom blast interrupt it. The thing hits like a truck and it's what will kill you.

When he puts on his annoying mirror soul ability spin your character around 180 degrees to stop yourself attacking. This is important because the ability lasts a while and during it he'll cast phantom blast which you need to spin around and interrupt with skullbash. Once it's gone you can go right back to dpsing.

If he starts to unleash souls pop into cat form and speed up the stairs and hide behind the portal. Try to keep him line of sighted with the portal until the adds disappear. Once they have try to get him back downstairs again so you can repeat the process.

If he casts wailing souls run behind him as soon as possible. Use the time he's screaming at the wall to heal up.

Generally whenever you have a chance that your away from the boss and not exchanging blows with him try to get in some rejuv and lifebloom spells to get your health up.

I hope this helps some others who try to solo him.

Commento di Arbron

This was soloable by an 85 prot warrior (~346 gear) until the unnecessary Spell Reflection cooldown increase.

Probably better off trying to burn him down as fury or possibly arms now. If you can survive until Wailing Souls, you'll most likely win as you get a free burn period with zero incoming damage.

Commento di 422399

Trying to solo this guy puzzled me at first but then it down on me the right approach. I killed him entirely in cat form.

Kite him.

He moves very slowly so whatever ability he casts just run away. His only real attack is shadow bolt, which you can interrupt but don't need too. When he spawns the adds just run up one side of the stairs...wait a few seconds so they all go to that side of the room...then run down the other side. They move slowly too and will despawn after about 20 seconds. Use the time when you are waiting at the top by the portal to heal. You may have to repeat the cycle more than once.

What will kill you on this fight is if you try to burst him down or tank n' spank. Just whittle him down and he dies easy.

Commento di 50792

Very easy solo on 85 hunter (t11s10 gear). Burn, FD beam, kite adds, burn.

Commento di 806894

Just killed him as a fresh lv 85 Fury Warrior solo tonight. Was a rush! Had to change up gear a little and go from 83-85 before I could manage him but woo ;).

Commento di 355273

Soloed him as Assassination Rogue on crappy pvp gear, it's a bit difficult but it can be done.
Started hitting him hard, used Vendetta, CoS'd through the first Mirrored Soul (cast only AFTER he debuffs you), kept Recuperate on at all times, and sprint-kited him whenever i was low on health. Interrupts are a must, of course.

Commento di 388159

Solo'd as 376 Enh Sham in 43 seconds (according to Recount).

Totems / Wolves / Bloodlust / Blood Fury (racial).

Just stood in the middle of the room and wailed on him until he died.

Popped Stoneclaw totem (glyphed) for the shield.
Didn't really need to heal because of the heal from wolves.
Interrupted all spells (wind shear specced).

Yay.

Commento di GillB

I failed miserably at killing him with my feral druid (iLevel 352). However, I managed finally with my marginally better-geared disc priest (iLevel 355). Permanent DoTs (except when Mirror of Souls was up) plus a bit of dps when I felt it was safe; plus a lot of healing and a lot of running up & down stairs..

Commento di 488005

Very easy solo on heroic as a boomkin, just apply dots and kite him around. Heal if need be, and his ghost adds are kiteable as well.

Commento di Eclipsegirl

I was looking for this dungeon entrance for something to do.
I am exalted with the various faction, ebon blade and ashen verdict

to find the entrance, go to the ICC Raid entrance.
face the entrance, fly up and to the right.

On the second level above the ICC entrance, there is a cave like entrance, with a skull on it.
go in there.
this is where the entrance to the three dungeons are.

Commento di Ryawy

The face that is active when the boss is killed will determine the voice saying the death quote, but the words of the quote itself will remain the same. If that made absolutely no sense... Say the boss is in the middle of using Wailing Souls when it dies. During the Wailing Souls, the female face is active and the death quote will be said in a female voice.

Edit: In addition to this, it seems there are some potentially unused sound files for the boss. There are female versions of the the first male faces, for example. Check them out!

We can only imagine the faces that the female voice actor was making while recording these.

Problem:

I'm a Retribution Paladin. I'm built for dealing out damage. I can't even heal unless I'm dealing out damage.

HOW AM I MEANT TO BEAT THIS GUY?

Commento di basslover588

This is strange, I encountered something very different when I fought the Devourer of Souls just now (Saturday, January 17, aprox 4 PM server time, it may have something to do with it). I went to fight it and noticed that the music seemed really... unfitting. It was like a rock version of some LK song that played ~~only in the hallway to the Devourer of Souls and in the room with the boss~~.

The boss was also very strange, rather than just the red aura that surrounds the face, it was a series of different colors, kind of like the multicolored lights you'd put on a tree/house during Christmas.

I wish I got a screenshot of the boss before I killed it, but I thought for sure someone else might have seen this happen before. D: I can't seem to find anything on Google about it, but I'm going to see if I can get to him again with the same results for the sake of me not looking like a big troll on the internet.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I was on Normal Difficulty when this happened. Also, the song seems to play when Bronjahm is dead, not necessarily when you are in the hallway to the Devourer of Souls/his room. I am writing this as I test it out, and the Devourer's aura is still multicolor. I'll post a screenshot once I finish editing this post.

Edit pt 2: I learned that the music I was hearing was the song that plays when you fight Bronjahm. I thought it might have been related, but I guess not. *shrugs* I also posted the screenshots on my blog, just in case someone would like to see them. The front view is here and the side view is here.

Funny how it goes "You dare look upon the host of souls?", because even on my beefy PC, when I face the dead boss, my frames drop from 100 to the high 20s. No issues with the live boss. How dare I look upon it indeed
