Encounter phases
Adventure Guide says
- Void of the Unmaking Warlord Zon'ozz summons a Void of the Unmaking. This void travels forward until it encounters a soul to absorb.
- Zon'ozz Diffused When the Void collides with Warlord Zon'ozz, it inflicts a distracting shock to him. This collision enrages Warlord Zon'ozz, causing him to awaken the Maw of Go'rath and lose his Focused Anger. In Heroic Difficulty the awakening of the Maw of Go'rath causes many different types of tentacles to emerge and attack the players.
