Boss abilities
| Ability | Adventure Guide | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Quake | In Heroic Difficulty, an Angered Earth creature is summoned from each ground crack. | |
| Chains of Woe | At 66% and 33% health remaining, Rom'ogg Bonecrusher summons a mass of chains called the Chains of Woe that pulls each player close to him and immobilizes them. Players must target and destroy the Chains of Woe to free themselves from the immobilize effect. Immediately after Rom'ogg finishes casting Chains of Woe, he begins to use his Skullcracker. | |
| The Skullcracker | After casting Chains of Woe, Rom'ogg begins to use his Skullcracker. This incredibly powerful attack requires a long windup from Rom'ogg. In Heroic difficulty, Rom'ogg will swing after 8 seconds of windup. | |
| Wounding Strike |
