Video guide

Route and setup

The gauntlet before Mchimba engages in random order, so check what's up before you pull.
Dazar's path is blocked by one mini-boss: Shadow of Zul.
Method's PUG-friendly route is on Wago as wago.io/U22_Bys16.

Affixes at this level

Lindormi's Guidance+2 to +5

Marked enemies have 5% less health and deal 5% less damage, and deaths cost no time. Gone from +6.

Xal'atath's Bargain+5 to +11

One of four rotating Bargains (Ascendant, Voidbound, Pulsar, Devour). Solve it for a stat buff or eat a penalty.

Fortified or Tyrannical+7 to +9

Alternates weekly. Fortified: trash hits harder and has more health. Tyrannical: bosses do.

Fortified and Tyrannical+10 and up

Both at once. Plan a defensive for every big trash pull and every boss ability that hurts.

Xal'atath's Guile+12 and up

Replaces the Bargain. Each death costs 15 seconds until the last minute, so a death on a pull is often a depleted key.

The four Bargains

Ascendant: Stop 10 Orbs of Ascendance with interrupts, stuns, knockbacks or purges. Your kick, Hammer of Justice and Asphyxiate all count.
Voidbound: Break the Void Emissary's shield before Dark Prayer finishes. Swap to it immediately.
Pulsar: Intercept another player's tethered orb within 15 seconds.
Devour: Heal or dispel the shield on all five players.

Retribution Paladin tips

Cleanse Toxins helps with Embalming Fluid poison and Queen Patlaa's Serpent Strike.
Blessing of Freedom clears Shadowfrost Bolt and Frost Shock slows.
Use Shield of Vengeance or Divine Protection when Drain Fluids targets you.

Death Knight (Frost / Unholy) tips

Lichborne makes you immune to the Minion of Zul fear (Pit of Despair).
Death Grip interrupts Hex Volley and Unholy Mending as a backup kick.
Anti-Magic Shell soaks Poison Nova damage if a kick is missed.
