Council · split raid · 2 targetsBloodlust On pull
Difficulty

Two golems: Breath of Ula'tek (green, acid) and Blood of Ula'tek (red, blood). Within 40 yards of each other they're 99% damage-reduced, so the raid splits and tanks them on opposite sides. At 100 energy they meet in the middle for the Helical Toxins puzzle, then the groups swap sides.

Golems held on opposite sides, 40+ yards apart. Each half of the raid stays with its golem. Swap sides after each intermission.

Your job (melee)

  • Stay with your half of the raid. Never pull your golem toward the other one.
  • Green side: step on one or two Toxic Droplets (never three) before they explode, and kill Venom Coagulation first. It pulses raid damage until it dies.
  • Red side: stack on the Unstable Miasma target to share the hit, then spread out so the Clinging Murk DoTs don't overlap.
  • If you get Blighted Blood, walk to the edge for the dispel.
  • heroic Green side: don't stand between the golem and its breath slime (Living Venom). It flies back into the golem after 4 seconds and hits anything in the way.
  • heroic Blood Venom leaves a pool when it's dispelled or expires, so take it to the wall first.

Abilities

  • Ula'tek's Dominancemove
    Golems within 40 yards of each other take 99% less damage. Keep them apart.
  • Mark of Acid / Mark of Bloodheal
    Everyone within 40 yards of a golem gets a stacking 40-second DoT, every 5 seconds. Swapping sides at each intermission resets the pressure.
  • Toxic Dropletssoak
    Orbs in front of the green golem explode for heavy raid damage after 16 seconds. Step on them to defuse them. You take a small DoT.
  • Venom Coagulationaddpriority
    A big slime that pulses Contaminate on the raid every 3 seconds until it dies.
  • Living Venomheroic onlydodge
    Breath slime returns to the golem after 4 seconds and hits everyone in its path.
  • Empowering Slamtankswap
    Each slam on the same tank adds 15% Physical damage. Swap to reset it.
  • Blighted Blooddispel
    Dispellable Shadow DoT from the red golem.
  • Blood Venomheroic onlydispelmove
    Leaves a toxic pool when it ends or is dispelled. More applications make a bigger pool.

  • Bloodvenom Injectiontankswap
    Stacking 40-second DoT on the tank that drops a big puddle when it ends. Tank walks it to a safe spot.

  4. 0:06Mistakes go to the corner
Both golems go to the middle and take 99% less damage. Players merge Helical Toxins in groups to reach exactly 4 stacks.

Your job (melee)

  • Go to your assigned group spot. Touching another player merges your toxins, and the goal is exactly 4 applications.
  • If you mess up, run to the punishment corner. Cultivated Burst leaves a puddle and a DoT.
  • normal Normal: pair with someone so your green orb stacks add up to exactly 4.
  • heroic Going above 4 on Heroic is lethal. Merge only with your assigned group.
  • Once it ends, swap sides with the other half of the raid.

Abilities

  • Vitriolic Stasis
    Both golems take 99% reduced damage for 30 seconds, and the weaker one is healed to match the other. Don't waste cooldowns here.
  • Helical Toxinsstackmove
    Everyone gets a 28-second Plague DoT. Touching players combines toxins, and exactly 4 applications neutralizes it.
  • Cultivated Burstdefensive
    A toxin that expires at the wrong count explodes and leaves a DoT and a big puddle. An immunity can survive it.

Retribution Paladin tips

  • Blessing of Protection or Divine Shield won't solve Helical Toxins. Get the count right.
  • Divine Shield survives a Cultivated Burst mistake, so take it to the corner and bubble.
  • Hold Avenging Wrath through the intermission. Bloodlust goes on pull.

Death Knight (Frost / Unholy) tips

  • Anti-Magic Shell takes a lot of Unstable Miasma and Contaminate damage.
  • Anti-Magic Zone is a good raid call for the first Unstable Miasma soak.
  • Don't Death Grip anything across the room. Moving a golem toward the other triggers the 99% reduction.
Other roles (short)

Tanks

  • One tank per golem, 40+ yards apart. Swap sides each intermission. Walk Bloodvenom Injection to a safe spot.

Healers

  • Dispel Blighted Blood at the edges. On Heroic, place Blood Venom pools at the wall.
