Rockfall causes large boulders and small rocks to fall from the ceiling that players must avoid. Players will need to seek cover when Bael'Gar casts Molten Furnace. Any boulders that remain when Bael'Gar casts Shatter will inflict significant additional damage to the entire raid. Whenever a boulder is destroyed, several Spawns of Bael'Gar are created.
