Abilities & Strategy

Overview

Beth'tilac begins the encounter above the playspace and will come down after she has cast Smoldering Devastation three times. Players can access this area by interacting with a Cinderweb Spinner's webstring and deal some damage Beth'tilac before she descends for Stage Two. Once Beth'tilac descends players must defeat Beth'tilac before her Frenzy level becomes too much to survive.

Tanks
  • Cinderweb Spinners can be forced to drop off of their webstring by using a taunt effect on them.
  • If no one is at Beth'tilac's level during Stage One, she will constantly cast Venom Rain.
  • Point Cinderweb Drones' Boiling Spatter away from your allies.
  • Once Beth'tilac descends, coordinate with your other tank to manage the decreased healing from Widow's Kiss.
  • In Stage Two, keep Beth'tilac away from any Cinderweb Spiderlings or she will Consume them.
  • If up above in Stage One, jump down before Beth'tilac casts Smoldering Devastation.
Healers
Damage Dealers
  • Cinderweb Drones are not defeated before their energy reaches zero they will ascend to drain Beth'tilac of her energy, hastening the next cast of Smoldering Devastation.
  • Beth'tilac constantly damages players at the same level she is with Ember Flare, make sure you have a healer and tank up above before you take one of Cinderweb Spinners' web strings.
  • If up above in Stage One, jump down before Beth'tilac casts Smoldering Devastation.
