Overview

Adventure Guide says

Zul begins the encounter assisted by the Forces of Blood. He will continue to summon additional Forces of Blood that the party must contend with while his energy fills. At 40% health, Zul no longer summons the Forces of Blood and becomes fully empowered with the Blood of G'huun, unleashing Locus of Corruption, spending his Elder Blood to afflict the raid with Corrupted Blood for the remainder of the encounter. Players must defeat him before the damage from Corrupted Blood overwhelms them.

  • Nazmani Crushers use Thrumming Pulse when their energy is full. Make sure they are not within range of their allies!
  • Avoid melee attacks from Bloodthirsty Crawgs or use defensive abilities to reduce their healing from Hungering Maw.
  • Rupturing Blood will create a large area of Ruptured Blood when it wears off - make sure you are far away from other players!
