Dungeon - Mists of Pandaria

Stormstout Brewery

3 encounters and 33 drops. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry a live Auction House price.

When Chen Stormstout arrived in the Valley of the Four Winds, he journeyed to the renowned brewery of his namesake, hoping to connect with his relatives. What he found was his ancestral home in disarray. Under the watch of the incompetent Uncle Gao, loathsome virmen and unruly hozen have infiltrated the brewery, sparking a destructive revel that will soon devastate the region's supply of tasty brews.

Encounters

Ook-Ook

Even for a hozen, Ook-Ook has a reputation for being uncouth and raucous. The monstrous creature and his cronies recently broke into the Stormstout Brewery and cracked open its precious beer casks to throw the greatest party of all time: Ookapalooza!

Abilities & Strategy

Ground Pound

Ook-Ook pounds the ground every 1 sec. for 3 sec, inflicting Physical damage to all enemies within a 45-degree cone and stunning them for 2 sec.

Going Bananas

At 90%, 60%, and 30% health remaining, Ook-Ook goes bananas! This increases his attack speed by 0% and damage dealt by 0%. In addition, this causes a wave of Rolling Barrels.

Rolling Barrel

Ook-Ook's entourage periodically throw Rolling Barrels, which roll across the room until they hit a wall, player, or Ook-Ook himself. At 90%, 60% and 30% health remaining, the entourage throws more barrels.

Brew Explosion

Rolling Barrels inflict Physical damage to players on contact. If a player rides a barrel into Ook-Ook, they inflict Physical damage and increase damage taken by 0% for 15 sec. This effect stacks.

Hoptallus

Hoptallus is the bane of farmers throughout the Valley of the Four Winds - a virmen of mythic proportions that can consume entire fields of crops in a single night. Word has spread that the giant pest and his offspring have infested the brewery and begun devouring its stores of rice and barley.

Abilities & Strategy

Carrot Breath

Hoptallus slowly turns in a circle spewing vile carrot juices. The juices inflict Physical damage and knock back any targets within a 20-degree cone in front of Hoptallus.

Furlwind

Hoptallus spins in a rapid circle. Inflicts damage every 1 sec. to surrounding units, but slows movement speed by 0%.

A Shrill Screech

Hoptallus will periodically emit a shrill cry, calling for aid from Hoplings, Hoppers, and Boppers.

Hopling

The tiniest virmen, Hoplings do little more than hop around and bite things!

Hopper

The larger Hoppers carry a barrel of explosive brew in their mouths.

Explosive Brew

If a Hopper reaches its target, it hops madly then explodes.

Bopper

The large Boppers carry a heavy hammer.

Big Ol' Hammer

When Boppers die, they drop their Big Ol' Hammers. Players can pick up the Hammer to gain three charges of the Smash! ability.

Yan-Zhu the Uncasked

In a desperate attempt to save the family brewery, Uncle Gao set about concocting what he believed would be the ultimate ale, a full-bodied elixir of depthless flavor. Yet his bold experiment resulted in a bitter and extremely volatile alemental creature, dubbed Yan-Zhu the Uncasked.

Abilities & Strategy

Brew Bolt

If there are no players near Yan-Zhu, he will begin casting Brew Bolts. Inflicts Frost damage and increases magic damage taken by the target by 0% for 6 sec. This effect stacks.

Brewmastery: Wheat

Uncle Gao's crazy experiments grant Yan-Zhu one of two wheat brew abilities.

Bloat

Yan-Zhu infuses a random player with an excessive quantity of brew. This Bloat causes brew to gush from their ears for 30 sec, inflicting Frost damage and knocking back targets in a 10-degree cone on either side of the bloated player.

Blackout Brew

The heavy Blackout Brew inflicts Frost damage to all players and applies 3 stacks of Blackout Brew. Stacks can be removed by moving and jumping. If Blackout Brew reaches 10 stacks, the Brew stuns the player for 10 sec.

Brewmastery: Ale

Uncle Gao's new fermentation procedures grant Yan-Zhu one of two ale brew abilities.

Bubble Shield

Yan-Zhu covers himself with 8 small bubbles. Each bubble grants Yan-Zhu 10% damage reduction. This effect stacks.

Yeasty Brew Alemental

Yan-Zhu summons forth Yeasty Brew Alementals to aid him.

Ferment

The Yeasty Brew Alemental fires a fermentation beam towards Yan-Zhu the Uncasked, but players may intercept the beam and receive its effect by standing between the two Alementals. The fermentation restores 0% of health and mana every 1 sec. to the affected target.

Brew Bolt

Yeasty Brew Alementals can cast a less powerful version of Brew Bolt, inflicting Frost damage.

Brewmastery: Stout

Uncle Gao has modified the family recipe, granting Yan-Zhu one of two stout brew abilities.

Carbonation

Yan-Zhu fills the room with Carbonation for 20 sec. The Carbonation inflicts Frost damage every 1 sec. to enemies that are close to the ground and prevents them from attacking or casting spells due to acute asphyxiation. In addition, Carbonation causes Fizzy Bubbles to spawn.

Fizzy Bubble

Clicking on a Fizzy Bubble grants a player the ability to fly for 20 sec.

Wall of Suds

Yan-Zhu periodically summons forth walls of sudsy brew. The onrushing brew inflicts Frost damage every 0.5 seconds to players that stand within the wall and stuns them for 5 sec.

Sudsy

The sudsy nature of Yan-Zhu grants players the ability to jump extra high.

Loot
