Encounter phases
Adventure Guide says
- Ancient Wards Ancient Wards keep the pressure of the surrounding ocean depths at bay but must be powered up by players standing on them. Azshara's forces will use various means to power them down.
- Stage One: Cursed Lovers Azshara summons the cursed lovers: Aethanel, and Cyranus to attack the players. Overzealous Hulks storm the playspace in an effort to disable the Ancient Wards while Azshara herself torments players with her own abilities. This stage ends when both Aethanel and Cyranus are defeated.
- Aethanel and Cyranus, the Cursed Lovers Aethanel and Cyranus have been cursed to constantly swap between periods of Longing to see each other and Painful Memories of a life that could have been. Their Cursed Hearts poison the ground beneath them.
- Intermission One: Queen's Decree Azshara releases Arcane Orbs across the playspace; but issues a personal decree to all players limiting their actions. Any player who fails to follow their decree will be sanctioned. This phase ends shortly after the Arcane Orbs expire.
- Stage Two: Hearts Unleashed Azshara activates the final ward and joins the fight. This stage ends when Azshara is reduced to 70% life remaining.
- Intermission Two: Adoration Azshara summons waves of her minions to attack the wards. This stage ends when Azshara finishes summoning her minions.
- Stage Three: Song of the Tides Azshara calls her Tidemistresses to join the fight. Each will stand on one of the Ancient Wards and periodically drain them.
- Stage Four: My Palace Is a Prison Azshara turns her full force upon the raid. Players must contend with Azshara while attempting to keep the Titan Console under control.
