Radiant light
Throughout the dungeon, you’ll get the Radiant light buff, allowing you to mount up and fly. Prefer steady flight over dynamic flight to ensure better control of your landings and to prevent air pulling in Mereldar.
First and last boss intermissions require you to refresh this buff by flying through light orbs. On Rasha’nan, you can simply fly to his P2 platform and take advantage of the light provided by the NPC while you wait for the boss to land.
Shadowcrown : Trash
Kick
— Ensnaring shadows : DOT + snare
— abyssal howl : Buffs nearby allies
— Night bolt (Ombremage) : Targeted damage
DODGE
DISPELL
More
— ensnaring shadows also slows; spells preventing or removing snares will remove the curse too.
— Depack from the party to get your stygian seed dispelled.

Reflect ensnaring shadows with Spell Reflect

Shadowcrown : Boss
Strategy
— KICK shadow bolt.
— Stay in melee range to easily DODGE Obsidian beam – MITIGATE▲ the initial damage.
— DISPELL burning shadows and HEAL▲ through shadow shroud.
—The tank is a valid target for the absorb, so try not to dispell just before obsidian beam – it has to be dispelled and healed through before intermission though.
— DEPACK if targeted by a collapsing night beam to drop it away – don’t stack them !
— Mount up and flee during darkness comes and collect Light fragment to prevent Activating rift.
— Intermissions happen at 50 and 0% HP – the boss dies at the end of the cast but you can already head down to Mereldar for the next part.
Lieutenants
Anub’ikkaj benefits from Empowered might, increasing his damage by 30% and HP by 50% per lieutenant still alive when you engage him.
— Lieutenants have a common skill (abyssal blast) and a special ability that the boss will gain after they are defeated :
– dark orb (Iken’tak) which need to be baited and dodged.
– terrifying slam (Ixkreten) on the tank, which must be dodged.
– shadowy decay (Vis’coxria) which needs to be mitigated and outhealed.
— Fight Iken’tak and the boss on an open area where the player targeted by dark orb will be able to bait it so that it travels as far as possible before exploding; reducing the damage dealt by the impact.
The orb explodes on contact with the SLIGHTEST obstacle: players, houses, a gnome’s toe, a blade of grass, a tiny cobblestone, your fragile ego…
Anub’Ikkaj : Trash
KICK
— Tormenting beam : DOT
— Silken shell : -30% damage taken

— black hail : Swirlies
— Black edge : Frontal
— terrifying slam : Bump on the tank (unavoidable) + mass fear
— dark orb : Explosion on impact

CC

Anub’Ikkaj : Boss

Stage one: The Dawnbreaker
— CLICK▲ the arathi bombs and use your extra-button to throw it on the boss – require melee range.
— sparking arathi bomb pulses damage on the party while a bomb is carried – use movespeed CDs to shorten it.

— Keep melee clean to easily dodge DODGE tacky burst.
— Fight ends when the boss reaches 60% HP.
