Raid - The War Within

Khaz Algar

6 encounters, 42 boss abilities and 30 drops, with the Adventure Guide’s own ability and strategy notes for each fight. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry a live Auction House price.

Khaz Algar's depths have been met with great disturbances in recent times. With the Coreway disrupted and the nerubians on the rise, other threats have arisen as well. Kordac, the Dormant Protector has risen to defend the Isle of Dorn. In the Ringing Deeps, an Aggregation of Horrors awaits. Hallowfall's waters have been disturbed by Shurrai, Atrocity of the Undersea. And in the depths of Azj-Kahet, the deepwalker Orta, the Broken Mountain, has been twisted by Black Blood.

Long has this deepwalker strode through the chasms and legends of Azj-Kahet. His voice an earthquake, his will diamond, his strength adamant. Yet now he comes before Azj-Kahet, contaminated by the dark pustules of the black blood, in need of a good death. Who will rise to face him?

Shurrai, Atrocity of the Undersea

The sea floor hides horrors beyond our imagining. Hallowfall's proximity to the Undersea brings it near the reach of creatures of the deep, and the kobyss are only eager to take advantage. Their summons raise Shurrai, Atrocity of the Undersea, to wreak havoc on their hunting grounds. Shurrai is an amalgamation of the worst terrors and putrefying flesh of the abyssal depths, and the Arathi will need all the help they can get to stop it.

Abilities & Strategy

Overview

Shurrai showers players with Briny Vomit before washing away both players and vomit with Dark Tide. At 100 energy Shurrai casts Regurgitate Souls, summoning Drowned Arathi and shielding himself with Shroud of the Drowned.

Tanks
  • Abyssal Strike applies a heal absorb equivalent to the amount of damage inflicted.
  • Dark Tide washes away pools of Briny Vomit.
  • Drowned Arathi inflict a significant amount of damage to Shurrai when slain.

Kordac, the Dormant Protector

Barely functional or even remembered, Kordac's disrepair forces him to remain a dormant observer. Even upon detecting the void somewhere below, he was forced into inaction. But that's changed. The unidentifiable lifeforms who have arrived to the Isle of Dorn are powerful enough to potentially pose a threat to Azeroth. And so he stands against us. And so we stand against him.

Abilities & Strategy

Overview

Kordac defends Azeroth, targeting players with Overcharged Lasers which leave Overcharged Earth and Empowering Coalescence in their wake. Upon reaching 100 Energy, he rains down Arcane Bombardment.

The Gobfather

Once a source of pride for the Bilgewater Cartel, this mech was a force to be reckoned with in the Demolition Dome. A pinnacle of goblin innovation... until someone forgot to give it an oil change. Now the King of the Demo Dome has gone haywire, running amok and threatening to unleash havoc upon the citizens of Undermine.

Abilities & Strategy

Overview

The Gobfather won't go down without a final fight, scattering Primed Boomcrawlers with Bombfield and knocking back players with Giga-Rocket Slam. At 100 energy it pulls out all the stops, raining down Death From Above.

Reshanor, The Untethered

The ethereals of K'aresh first witnessed this destructive maw of the void after Dimensius's attack. They believe Reshanor has manifested as their eternal punishment - for it comes back around to keep eating them and their planet as he grows infinitely bigger over the years.

Abilities & Strategy

Overview

Reshanor's throat surges with dark, twisted energy, unleashing Veilshatter Roars and Twilight Breaths. His unstable presence conjures a raging Voidstorm. When his energy wanes, Reshanor retreats into Untethered Space to feed on arcane forces - tearing open reality and allowing void creatures to spill forth.

Healers
  • Veilshatter Roar inflicts heavy damage to all players and interrupts those casting.
  • Erratic Rifts allow players to follow Reshanor into Untethered Space.
  • Players with high stacks of Void Corruption require significant healing.
