This is the second boss of the "Plague" (south-east) wing of Naxxramas. Strategies for defeating him can be found at http://www.wowwiki.com/Heigan_the_Unclean.

Comment by NeoTMS

The reason why some people die on the 2nd safe zone of phase 2, is that the texture, or rather the Slime Burst, seems to be a bit bugged when walking from 1st -> 2nd.
Here is an example picture:

The cracks in the orange square are where I got hit most of the times.
The burst slime animation doesn't show slime splashing there, but if you get too far you can and will most probably get hit.

On a sidenote, here is an SWF movie explaining how to dance:

Darn so good healing gear from this boss. Physical dps'ers don't get much love in the beginning of Naxx.

I would say the most important tip for this fight is to NOT watch other people while doing the dance. Staying with the pack will mean you are actually behind because of lag. Watch and stay ahead of the slime bursts and win.

Also, for making it through the gauntlet to this guy: Use mind vision to keep track of where the beasts are. You can skip some of them if your timing is right. You can also pull a pack and not kill one of the critters, preventing the whole pack from respawning. A little cheap but eh :). Keep diseases of your mages and have warriors AoE taunt if necessary. Yell at the bad players who lag behind and pull respawning packs.

We pull and kill the 1st beast, pull the first pack and keep a bat/maggot alive, time the 2nd beast have the raid run across to the far wall and AoE, run against this wall around the corner and AoE here, then move across the entrance to Heigan's room into the corner and AoE again. We rez, summon, and drink here.

He needs some soap. His name explains it all.

Anyone done this boss lately? We did Naxxramas today, and found out that he's somehow bugged; he's not in the room when we enter it. Or well, he somehow is, because he's randomly hitting random raid members every now and then, but still we can't see him / do anything to him. We got GM to reset him, which was good for one try, well, we wiped, came back, and noticed him being bugged again. :)

So, anyone else encountered this / knows what might cause this?

Second boss in the Necro wing of Naxxramas

Comment by Thottbot

Heigan is a "Gauntlet" style boss, meaning you have to kill a big room of enemies to get to him, and if you wipe, you have to do it again.

Like Broodlord/Fankriss/Rajaxx.

Just killed him last night. He does not have AOE fear anymore.
That was on test-servers.

He only does the mana drain and teleport people in groups of 3 to the "eye tunnel".
And the room does stuff too ;)

A really neat trick is to keep dps on him during hamsterdance. We got more than 5% on each dance.

Hands down, one of the most informative "how-to" videos I've seen. Check it out.

We ownd his ass yesterday with Randomguild and some pug ppl =) Killed him before he had the chance to start Fase 2 :P HAhahaha poor guy ^^ So nuked!

Comment by Allakhazam

This is one of the most pathetic fights I've seen designed in awhile, once you've seen the pattern and placement of the acid splashes one time you can kill this guy.

The biggest cockblock to this fight is lag, whether it be server lag or from your ISP. I highly suggest turning your spell graphics way down on this fight to eliminate information being processed during the DDR dance time.

Comment by Allakhazam

What is this 'dancing' phase I hear about? Does he really start dancing instead of attacking people? Also I notice on a vid I was watching that everyone got of the platform they where on to run across the room while green crap slapshed. Why not stay on the platform? I'm nowhere near doin Naxx so I have no clue of whats goin on.

AOE Mana Burn: Drains large amounts of mana and deals shadow damage equivilant to mana drained.

Eruption: Every few seconds Heigan will make the ground burst in a predictable pattern, causing 3,500 - 4,500 unresistable Nature damage if hit. During Phase 2, time between Eruption decreases significantly.

Decrepit Fever: Disease debuff. Reduces maximum health by 50%. Deals 500 nature damage every 3 seconds. 20 yards radius around Heigan, should affect melee only. Cast only during Phase 1. Curable.

Teleport: During Phase 1, Heigan will periodically teleport three players to a tunnel filled with Eye Stalks. During Phase 2 this tunnel will have a poison cloud that inflicts 4,000 damage every 3 seconds, so teleported players will need run back quickly before the next Phase starts.

StrategyBroodlord LashlayerBlackwing Lair

Plague Beast: Disease aura, must be tanked away from raid. Stomps for 2,000 damage. 1 per wave, more than 4 minutes respawn.

Mutated Grub: Casts Slime Burst. Low melee damage. 2 per wave, 30 seconds respawn.

Plagued Bat: Charges random players. Casts Putrid Bite. 5 per wave, 30 seconds respawn.

Phase 1: Heigan is in the field for 90 seconds. Ground Eruptions move slowly, the tank (and melee) has to move Heigan through the safe sections as they shift from one end to the other. Healers and ranged DPS should stand on the raised platform to avoid any Eruptions.

Phase 2: Heigan teleports to the platform for 45 seconds. Ground Eruptions speed up considerably; the entire raid needs to move through the safe sections. The platform has to be empty. Heigan will not use Mana Burn, Teleport and Decrepit Fever during Phase 2.
