Overview
Adventure Guide says
Thok alternates between two modes. When initially engaged, he performs Deafening Screech with increasing frequency, dealing heavy raidwide damage. When he detects a clump of seriously injured players, Thok enters a Blood Frenzy, during which he pursues random targets, instantly devouring any players that cross his path. During Blood Frenzy, he moves faster and faster; defeating a Kor'kron Jailer and freeing a prisoner for Thok to devour will empower him but end his Blood Frenzy.
- Avoid Thok's hungering jaws during his Blood Frenzy, or perish instantly.
- Defeat the Kor'kron Jailer that emerges during Thok's Blood Frenzy.
- If an ally is frozen by Thok's Icy Blood, destroy the ice block to free them.
- Time your spellcasts carefully to avoid being interrupted by Thok's Deafening Screech.
- Avoid Thok's hungering jaws during his Blood Frenzy, or perish instantly.
- Dispel Corrosive Blood from allies.

Encounter phases
Adventure Guide says
- Stage 1: A Cry in the Darkness
- Stage 2: Frenzy for Blood! The excessive scent of blood sends Thok into a frenzy for blood! In Raid Finder difficulty, this occurs when Thok reaches 80%, 55%, and 30% health.
- Breaking Loose!
- Prisoners of War Garrosh has taken prisoners during his Pandaria campaign, and they remain trapped in cages alongside the beasts, hoping for freedom.
- An Infusion of Acid Once Akolik draws Thok's attention, the mighty dinosaur will devour him and absorb the acidic powers of the saurok. This will end Thok's Blood Frenzy.
- An Infusion of Frost Once Gorai draws Thok's attention, the mighty dinosaur will devour him and absorb the watery powers of the jinyu. This will end Thok's Blood Frenzy.
- An Infusion of Flame Once Montak draws Thok's attention, the mighty dinosaur will devour him and absorb the fiery powers of the yaungol. This will end Thok's Blood Frenzy.
