Video guide

Route and setup

Shrouded Fangs start stealthed near the neutral Rogue Krolusks. Watch for the opener stun.
Before the Avatar, click the two Eyes to energize them. This deals ticking damage and spawns extra mobs.
Method's PUG-friendly route is on Wago as wago.io/1pqM1h0ez.

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 removes Cytotoxin and the Poison Spit DoTs.
Blinding Light (if talented) on Knot of Snakes breaks both roots.
Divine Protection or Shield of Vengeance for your spire soak on Galvazzt.

Death Knight (Frost / Unholy) tips

Anti-Magic Shell makes a Galvazzt spire soak trivial. Volunteer for it.
Blinding Sleet (if talented) breaks Knot of Snakes.
Death Grip pulls Tormentors into the pack on the Avatar.

01 Adderis and Aspix

The Storm Blessed immunity passes between the two at 40%. Spread for Gale Force, then collapse into melee for Thunder and Lightning.

0:00 / 0:08

0:00Gale Force: spread loosely
0:02Knockback sends everyone out
0:04Collapse into melee for Thunder and Lightning

Spread loosely so Gale Force lines don't cleave, using walls against the knockback. Then collapse into melee for Thunder and Lightning.

Your job (melee)

Watch who has Storm Blessed (immune). It swaps at 40%.
Spread loosely for Gale Force. Stand with your back to a wall if you can't cancel the knockback.
After the knockback, collapse into melee to split Thunder and Lightning.
If you get Tempest Winds, drop the puddle away from the group.
After Adderis dies, Aspix gets Frenzy and casts everything more often.

Spires spawn in threes. A player steps into each beam between spire and boss to stop Galvazzt gaining energy.
