Encounter phases
Adventure Guide says
- Stage One: Storm and Sky
- Golganneth's Aid
- Stage Two: The Protector Redeemed When Argus reaches 70% health, Golganneth begins to cast Golganneth's Wrath, clearing away any Death Fog on the platform.
- Aggramar's Aid
- Stage Three: The Arcane Masters When Argus reaches 40% health, he is sufficiently weakened such that Aman'Thul is able to subdue him with a Temporal Blast. However, the players must then contend with Argus' Constellar Designates. Or, so it seems...
- The Stellar Armory Periodically, two of the Constellar Designates will be granted arms from the Stellar Armory. When equipped with these arms, the Designates will no longer use their other abilities and will instead engage in melee attacks.
- Norgannon's Aid
- Stage Four: The Gift of Life, The Forge of Loss His Constellar Designates buying him the time to regain his strength, Argus kills the players with Reap Soul. All hope would be lost, were it not for the titans...
- The Spirit World
- Motes of Titanic Power When Reorigination Modules complete a Reorigination Pulse, their Titanic energy is released into the Spirit World as Motes of Titanic Power. Players can walk into these to collect them, granting Khaz'goroth Titanic Essence that he can use to fuel his Titanforging ability.
- Eonar's Aid
- Khaz'goroth's Aid When Khaz'goroth has at least 20 Titanic Essence, he will begin to channel Titanforging. Players can collect Motes of Titanic Power within the Spirit World to grant Khaz'goroth Titanic Energy.
Tank mechanics
Adventure Guide says
- Alternate tanks on Argus to minimize Sweeping Scythe damage.
- If you are made the Avatar of Aggramar, you will need to protect players afflicted by Soulbomb so they are not killed by Soulbomb Detonation.
- Constellar Designates equipped with Sword of the Cosmos and Blades of the Eternal should be tanked. Additionally, try to keep the Designate equipped with Sword of the Cosmos away from any other designates to avoid Cosmic Power stacking too high.

- Once Gift of the Lifebinder is afflicted with Withering Roots, heal it to keep it alive so that players can use it to come back to life.
- Collect the Motes of Titanic Power while you are a ghost to empower Khaz'goroth, enabling him to cast Titanforging.
