Overview

Adventure Guide says

Kilrogg's Visions of Death transports players to the moment of their doom. The more demons a player kills during this phase, the greater stacks of Undying Resolve they receive. Failure to send anyone to this phase results in heavy raid damage. As the fight progresses, Kilrogg calls for his clansmen to drink the fel blood within the chamber. If these Salivating Bloodthirsters reach the blood, they transform into Hulking Terrors.

  • Blood Globules that reach Kilrogg Deadeye damage the raid.
  • Fel Blood Globules that reach Kilrogg damage the raid and heal Kilrogg.
  • Enter Visions of Death and kill demons to gain stacks of Undying Resolve.
  • Kill Salivating Bloodthirsters before they reach the blood pool.
  • Interrupt the Hulking Terror's Rending Howl.
  • Prevent Hulking Terrors from dying next to allies.
  • Take turns tanking Hulking Terrors to control your level of Fel Corruption and avoid losing control to Demonic Possession.
  • Use Active Mitigation defensive abilities to counter Shred or else suffer from Shredded Armor.
