The Avatar of Sargeras was created by Sargeras about 800 years ago (give or take a few decades) to send a portion of his soul to Azeroth through portals created by the Scepter of Sargeras. The Avatar arrived in Dragonblight, where he battled Aegwynn, the Guardian of Tirisfal at the time. Aegwynn defeated the Avatar and locked its body in the underwater ruins of the Temple of Elune in Suramar, giving the building its new name: the Tomb of Sargeras. Unbeknownst to Aegwynn, Sargeras's soul left his Avatar behind and hid inside of her womb, where he would eventually possess her son, Medivh.

This boss is the empty shell of the Avatar of Sargeras, without Sargeras's soul inhabiting it, that has been locked inside the tomb for roughly 800 years.

A taste of what is to come.

In phase two, look around and you can see Velen, Khadgar, and Illidan all battling Kil'jaden near the big demon portal. In the end, they surprisingly get the upper hand on him WITHOUT our help and force him to retreat.

Tip for DK tanks: The time between two Rupture Realities allows Anti-Magic Shell and Wraith Walk to always be off cooldown by the time you need to run into the lava in phase 2.

To be more specific: Upon the fall, I stop using either of those abilities and resort to other cooldowns instead. When Rupture Realities happens, I AMS on the way out and WW back in. Then the other tank takes the boss. By the time it's my turn to step into the lava, both AMS and WW will be off cooldown. I find it quite satisfying when cooldowns line up with mechanics like that.

Especially when you have two DK tanks, are the slowest class in the game, and have no priest in the raid group.

When doing this boss as a couple of lvl 120 we had severe problems with this boss.
The thing to remember is:

The boss will eventual reach 100 energy and trigger 2. phase
When the Avatar enters the 2. phase he will absorb all the health the Maiden of Valor has at that point

But when The Avatar is about 30% health the maiden will die (for no good reason, as we did not dps her) and 2. phase will start. But now with the Avatar at 100% health. And since 2. phase is basically a race against time we couldn't kill the boss before the fell-lava killed us.

The solution for us was to bring the Avatar close to 30% and then nuke the Maiden. And while the Avatar cast "Rupture realities" continue to nuke the Avatar. When we used this method the Avatar started 2. phase with close to 20% health and we managed to kill him before he had a chance to cast "Rupture realities" again and destroy the platform.

Can now be soloed down from 100% in the lower chamber. Did it on my frost DK i448

Comment by Dylbob

It is literally impossible now as a duo in Shadowlands. Maiden dies no matter what by the time we get Avatar to ~90-95% HP which begins phase 2. Half the platforms are gone after 10-15 seconds in phase 2, then he casts Rupture Realities which destroys all but one or two platforms which are then destroyed seconds later - leaving no platforms remaining meaning immediate death. Really cool that I could solo this before and now I can't even get remotely close. Thanks Blizzard!

Comment by Delaxart

Something to keep in mind while duoing this with a strong DPS, you can indeed burn this boss down BEFORE he breaks the floor and starts P2. This unfortunately means that you are not able to use the teleporter in the lavaroom to get to Kil'Jaeden, preventing you from finishing the raid and soiling your raid lockout for the week. While it is possible to enter the lava room by exiting and re-entering the raid, the event with Illidan and Velen never starts and the teleporter remains unusable.

Learned this the hard way while duoing this with my brother,

Comment by Nekrotik

In 9.0 this is much simpler to solo at level 50 and up on LFR, normal and heroic. The big difference is you no longer have to bother with the Maiden, just let her beat on you so long as she's blocking the beams.

Start the fight and go to the channel in the floor with green lights on, that's where the first beam will appear. Pull the Maiden into the beam, face the Avatar and dps him. Position yourself so when he knocks you back, the beam stays blocked. For now don't worry about anything else, just move when the beam switches to another channel and keep drilling him down to 25-30%. Then turn around and kill the Maiden and he'll take out the floor.

Drop down, run to a corner of the platform and face him with your back to the lava. If he's about to remove the area you're standing on before you can finish him, just run to another area and kill him there. Easy loots!

Comment by Meatcheese

You can solo him in mythic as a havoc DH as of 9.0.5 and you don't even have to care about the platforms collapsing. You can just stand in the green.With 222 item level and around 8% leech i could just double jump - demon's bite, double jump - chaos strike, double jump - demon's bite and repeat that. The leech and damage would keep me alive even with the green ooze below ticking for more than 25% of my health each time i land from jumping. You can even use your eye beam as it's leech outheals the damage even when you don't jump. After that Kil'Jaeden is easily soloable as havoc as he can't really knock you off because of glide.Have fun soloing !

Comment by Truthfulness

All of the old comments are useless for mythic (9.0.5).

Currently you have to just tap boss until 90%, he'll kill Maiden and get back to 100%. Then you have to burn him. You have like 1.5 mins to do it. Not possible on undergeared anything, having trouble even as a 226 Ret.

9.2 edit: Most classes can do this easily now. Just save all cooldowns for after his Maiden kill and platform drop. Remember to stand in the green circle so your lower platform doesn't blow up.

Comment by Enya

Hunter pet still gets dismissed when going into Phase 2. Why on earth does it still do this. I could do 5-10% more of his health if I didn't have to resummon. I also find myself tanking too as Misdirect doesn't work (is that as designed ?).

Comment by SargerasWasRight

I haven't tried to solo this guy for a long time on mythic since realizing that Shadowlands had made it basically impossible. Now with a 240 feral druid and the celestial spirits legendary I can finally solo him on mythic. Without the legendary and a being able to use convoke a second time there's absolutely no way I could do this. By the time he dies there's only 1 piece of the platform left.

Comment by audited

With changes made in Patch 9.1.5, this is quite easily soloable again.

You now only need to block the single green beam with the Maiden to prevent the Fallen Avatar from reaching Phase 2 too early.

Comment by TheString

I was able to finally solo this guy today on the 5th try. I am a BM hunter, iLvl 240. I strung him along until we fell and then I used by Bestial Wrath and Lust and mashed buttons. When the platforms went poof, I kept jumping, attacking, jumping, attacking and he fell surprisingly quickly. Save that good stuff, Exhilaration also, for the second phase for sure!

Comment by dustinb352

OKAY!
After about a million attempts of mythic solo.....

Tank the maiden and kill her in front of the green beams, it'll light up like runway to let you know which one is going on,
i only moved to let the maiden take the beam so fallen avatar doesn't get 100 energy too early.
Once you kill the maiden, you can bring the fallen avatar to 50% health before the 1st phase ends.

When the second phase begins and you fall, go to the closest corner and fight him there,
when he starts to cast "Rupture Realities" run to the next corner of the platform,
and get on the nearest spot that has "Rain of the Destroyer" (green circle) so the platform doesn't get destroyed.

Here is when i popped all my cooldowns and started my dps race (ret pally 245 ilvl) and was finally able to kill him without all of the platforms disappearing...

I hope this helps! Huge thanks to Momentine on youtube, wouldn't have figured this out without this video.

When Aegwynn defeated the Avatar of Sargeras, she was unable to destroy his avatar. In an effort to seal it away, the armor was entombed beneath the Temple of Elune, where it remained dormant for hundreds of years. Now, with the Legion tearing down the tomb’s barriers, Kil’jaeden is in a position to reanimate the armor and unleash its power on Azeroth.

Touch of Sargeras – The Fallen Avatar creates 4 shadowy fissures. Each fissure erupts after 8 sec, inflicting 18873 Shadow damage to all players in the fisure divided evenly. Each of these fissures that is not absorbed inflicts 672 Shadow damage to all players instead.
Rupture Realities – The Fallen Avatar unleashes a blast of fel energy inflicting 28338 Fire damage to all players. Players farther from the Fallen Avatar take less damage.
Unbound Chaos – Every 0.5 sec the target marks their current location. After 1.5 sec, the marked location explodes inflicting 252 Chaos damage to all players within 5 yards.
In addition, the target erupts with Chaos Flames causing them to suffer 28 Chaos damage every 0.5 sec for 4 sec.
Shadowy Blades – The Fallen Avatar summons forth 7 blades that speed towards random targets. Each player hit by a blade creates a pool of Lingering Darkness and causes an explosion, inflicting 5101 Shadow damage to the target and all players within 7 yards.
- Lingering Darkness – Impact with a Shadowy Blade creates a viscous pool that inflicts 1990 Shadow damage every 2 sec and reduces movement speed by 50% while within the pool.
Shadowy Blades – The Fallen Avatar summons forth 3 blades that speed towards random targets. Each player hit by a blade causes an explosion, inflicting 2380 Shadow damage to the target and all players within 10 yards, knocking them back.
Desolate – Inflicts 1519 Physical damage and increases damage taken from Desolate by 150% for 29 sec.
This effect stacks.
Consume – Upon reaching 100 Energy, the Fallen Avatar consumes the remaining life essence from the Maiden of Valor, healing himself proportional to the health she has remaining.
Ripple of Darkness – Inflicts 2298 Shadow damage to all enemies.
This attack is only used by the Fallen Avatar whenever he is not actively engaged in melee combat.
Maiden of Valor
- Cleansing Protocol – Upon reaching 100 Energy, the Maiden of Valor places a shield upon herself absorbing 5% of her maximum health and begins casting Cleansing Protocol. At the completion of the cast, she inflicts 113351 Fire damage to all players.
  Depleting the absorb shield triggers a Malfunction.
  - Malfunction – Inflicts 25% of the Maiden of Valor's maximum health to herself and she becomes stunned for 1.5 sec, interrupting all casts.
- Matrix Empowerment – The Maiden of Valor becomes empowered while standing within the matrix, increasing Physical damage done by 5%. This effect stacks while she remains in the matrix.
Containment Pylon
- Corrupted Matrix – Upon activating, a Containment Pylon sends a beam of corrupted power at the Fallen Avatar causing him to gain energy every sec for 12 sec.
  The Maiden of Valor can intercept the beam causing her to gain energy instead.
- Tainted Matrix – A tainted pylon activates and begins to channel shadowy energy into the Fallen Avatar, increasing his energy generation.
  
  The Maiden of Valor refracts the shadowy beam to all players if she stands within it, inflicting 280 Shadow damage to all players every 2 sec.
  
  If a player stands between the pylon and the Fallen Avatar the beam is redirected to them. Standing within the beam inflicts 39 Shadow damage every 1.5 sec.
  
  In addition, the target is afflicted with Tainted Essence. This effect intensifies every 2 sec while standing within the beam.
  - Tainted Essence – Reduces healing and shields received by 8%. This effect stacks.
