Encounter phases
Adventure Guide says
- The Terrace of Endless Spring The Sha of Fear looms atop the Terrace, attempting to consume the pure light emanating from its center.
- Pure Light A narrow column of uncorrupted light still projects skyward from the center of the terrace. When a player stands in this light it bends, forming a protective wall that extends back from this Champion of the Light in a 'V' shape. This attracts the attention of the Sha of Fear, who fixates on the Champion.
- The Outer Shrines The group of players transported by Ominous Cackle must defeat one of three Sha possessed crossbowmen. The former terrace guardians Yang Guoshi, Cheng Kang, and Jinlun Kun attack the players.
- The Dread Expanse On heroic difficulty the Sha of Fear retreats to the Dread Expanse at 66% remaining health, dragging players along with him. This watery wasteland is a place of the Sha's making where he has access to a new set of abilities.
- Pure Light The uncorrupted light from the terrace binds itself to the current champion and takes on a new form.
Normal, Heroic, and Mythic
