Status Killable

Kil'jaeden is the last boss encounter in Tomb of Sargeras. With the Fallen Avatar dead once more, Kil'jaeden decides to retreat into the Twisting Nether, claiming that the Legion will return again and again until Azeroth is finally broken. The raid, along with Velen, Khadgar, and Illidan Stormrage, pursue him onto his flagship in the hope of ending the legion lord once and for all. Illidan takes part in one phase of the battle, while Velen and Khadgar keep demons away from the battle.

While the battle with Kil'jaeden does have a high damage requirement to beat his enrage, the fight is also extremely dependent on how well the raid can follow mechanics. Ability overlaps are common, even on Normal mode, and the raid must be ready to improvise and react to abilities quickly enough to avoid wipes. It is a 3-phase encounter with 2 intermission phases.

Background[]

Dungeon Journal[]

Since striking the bargain that chased the draenei into the stars, Kil'jaeden believed the Legion could not be stopped. Yet, none of his deceptions have prevented you from reaching this critical moment. Infuriated that Sargeras' promise of victory has never come to pass, the demon lord prepares to face you himself, for a final battle that will shape Azeroth's destiny forever.

Overview[]

Players engage Kil'jaeden on his command ship, engaging both him and the Shadow Reflections of their comrades' souls that he turns to his will. At 80% health, Kil'jaeden takes to the sky, launching a punishing barrage of attacks on players, after which he re-engages the players with greater power. At 40% health, Kil'jaeden wraps the platform in darkness, limiting players' vision to a short range around them, and summons several Shadowsouls. Players must find Illidan in the darkness, who grants the players his sight, and use it to defeat the Shadowsouls and dispel the darkness. Once players have escaped the darkness, Kil'jaeden arrives at Argus and unleashes his ultimate attack - Darkness of a Thousand Souls. Players must use the rifts that he opens to absorb the missiles from Darkness of a Thousand Souls to avoid being killed by them.

  • Spell fire felflamering Demonic Obelisk — Creates Demonic Obelisks positioned around the platform which detonate in a cross of fel energy after a short time, inflicting 2500000 Fire damage to all affected players and knocking them back.
  • Inv artifact dimensionalrift Tear Rift — Tears a rift in reality, pulling in all players and inflicting Gravity Squeeze on any players who are too close to the rift. Also, the missiles from Darkness of a Thousand Souls will be sucked into the rift rather than hitting the targeted player if that player is standing close enough to the rift to be affected by Gravity Squeeze. Finally, rifts will also pull the pools of flame created by Flaming Orbs to them. When they reach the edge of the platform near the rift, the rift will suck in the flames, reducing the size of the flame patch over time.
    • Inv artifact dimensionalrift Gravity Squeeze — Inflicts 600000 Shadow damage every 1 sec. The amount inflicted increases the longer the player remains affected by Gravity Squeeze. The missiles from Darkness of a Thousand Souls will be sucked into the rift rather than hitting them if players are standing close enough to the rift to be affected by Gravity Squeeze.
  • Inv elemental primal fire Flaming Orb — Creates an orb of fire at a targeted location that follows the player closest to it when it is created. When the Flaming Orb impacts with a player, it triggers a Flaming Detonation.
    • Ability warlock inferno Flaming Detonation — Inflicts 2000000 damage to all players within 10 yards, and creates a pool of fire that afflicts any players who enter with Burning. The size of the pool of fire created is reduced based on the length of time it takes the Flaming Orb to trigger a Flaming Detonation.
  • Ability warlock inferno Bursting Dreadflame — Inflicts 2437500 to 2562500 Fire damage to the targeted player and all other players within 15 yards.
  • Ability mage firestarter Focused Dreadflame — Inflicts 8000000 Fire damage to all players in a line in the direction of the targeted player, divided by the number of players hit.

Strategy[]

For this fight, 2 tanks are required at minimum, but having a third tank can help immensely if the raid does not have access to many immunities. While 4 healers may seem tempting, the healing requirement for this fight isn't very high until the very last phase if all mechanics are being followed correctly. Meanwhile, the damage requirement is quite steep to avoid the boss' berserk timer. Following mechanics must always take priority over DPS however, as most of Kil'jeaden's mechanics can cause wipes by themselves if they are not dealt with, but are especially dangerous during the ability overlaps.

Throughout the fight, Kil'jeaden with periodically hit the tanks with Fel Claws. This temporary buff will cause the boss' melee attacks to cause massive fire damage and make the tank take increased damage. The debuff applied stacks up each time the boss hits you. Ideally, a tank should be able to endure a whole set of Fel Claws before the other tank taunts. This ability is very dangerous and regularly does more than a million damage a shot at the higher stacks, and tanks must use cooldowns regularly to survive it. As the claws cleave anyone in-front of the boss, the tanks should tank him facing away from the raid. Keep the boss roughly in the center of the room so it is easy for melee players to reach any corner of the room quickly.

Phase 1[]

During phase 1, the most impactful ability the boss casts is Armageddon. He will summon several small red circles and one very large one. If a circle is not being occupied (shown by a large flame animation) when the timer expires, a meteor will strike the ship and apply a massive physical hard-hitting DOT to all players. One meteor is typically survivable with a healing cooldown, but two or more meteors will wipe the raid. Raid members must stand in the circles to absorb the meteor impact, which applies only a small dot when absorbed. Meanwhile, the larger circle should ideally be absorbed either by a third tank or a player with an immunity, as otherwise multiple people will have to soak the larger meteor at the same time. Immunities like a mage's Spell frost frost [Ice Block] or a hunter's Ability hunter pet turtle [Aspect of the Turtle] will make soaking the large meteor simple.

The next ability he uses is Rupturing Singularity, where he summons a small purple orb to slowly descend onto the arena. Standing underneath the impact site will kill you. Standing anywhere else will send the raid a distance backwards from the impact site. The first singularity will fail squarely in the middle, so as long as the raid is close to the center, but not on it, they will not be in any danger of falling off.

Intermission 1[]

The first intermission phase starts at 80% health. Kil'jeaden will fly up and be protected from 99% of all damage taken, making it pointless to attack him. He will start raining abilities down on the raid in rapid succession. First, an Armageddon, then a Focused Dreadflame, another Armageddon, and a Bursting Dreadflame before coming down. Focused Dreadflame is a simple soak mechanic where one players is targeted by the boss and must have players either stacked with him or between them and the boss to soak the damage. Bursting Dreadflame causes large circles to appear around several players which will explode for some fire damage after a bit of time. Simply move away from the rest of the group to avoid the explosions. Note that since Armageddon will be coming down quickly, one should avoid taking meteors while they still have the debuff from a previous Armageddon as the damaging debuff from soaking one, while inconsequential at first, will ramp up to deadly levels if a players absorbs 2 or 3. In this phase, the order should be: Spread out, collapse in to soak the Focused Dreadflame, then stay spread out for the rest of the abilities until the phase ends.

Phase 2[]

This phase ramps up the difficulty by regularly having Kil'jeaden use several abilities at once, including the ones he used during the intermission phase. His one new ability is Malignant Reflections. 3 players will grow to massive size and, after 7 seconds, create an immobile add at their location. These Malignant Reflections will continuously cast a damaging raid-wide spell that increases in damage each time it is cast. Although the adds to gain a damage buff for being closer to each other, the best strategy to deal with them is simply stacking them all on-top of the boss and focusing/cleaving them down as fast as possible.

Overlaps Armageddon + Bursting Dreadflame is not a very consequential overlap, as you will want to be spread out for both abilities anyway. Rupturing Singularity + Focused Dreadflame is also not very important, because if raid members stack on-top of the targeted player, they will be knocked back as one and take the damage as normal. Armageddon + Focused Dreadflame is potentially dangerous if the player targeted needs to soak a meteor. Keep the targeted player in the center of the arena with Kil'jaeden and communicate quickly with your raid to see who is staying in the center with the targeted player and who will be soaking meteors. Armageddon + Rupturing Singularity is the most dangerous overlap as it will knock players away from the meteors they need to soak. Surviving this combination means having some players stand closer to the singularity so that when it impacts, they will not be very far off from any meteors that spawn near them. Reaching the rest of the circles after being knocked back relies entirely on your raid's use of movement speed increases to reach them in time.

Having good field awareness, keeping calm, and keeping an eye on your DBM timers to react to abilities as, or before, they come is key to surviving this phase.

Rupturing Singularity Danger Zone

Intermission 2[]

Starting at 40%, Kil'jaeden will become invisible and use Deceiver's Veil to place Fog of War across the arena and summon Shadowsoul adds. The fog makes it so players cannot hit enemies and all healing is reduced by 100%. During this phase, players must spread out and try to find Illidan, making pings on the minimap to show everyone else where he is when they do. Stepping on the pool of energy Illidan is channeling will grant players the ability to fully heal and DPS for 20 seconds. However, this buff also places a hard-hitting DOT on the players, so as DPS move through the darkness, make sure your raid frames show that you are still in-range of your healers. Killing all of the Shadowsoul adds with the debuff will remove the darkness and end the phase. The adds will be standing still and channeling a spell which teleports them to a random location in the arena each time. The adds themselves do not have much health and can be stunned to stop their spellcasting and keep them in-place for a longer period of time. DPS should keep an eye on their debuff as when it expires, they must return to Illidan to refresh the debuff to continue killing adds. The same goes for healers to keep everyone alive. The true threat of this phase is that, if players are not successful in killing the Shadowsouls fast enough, the phase will last longer than necessary and bring the raid closer to Kil'jaeden's berserk timer.

Phase 3[]

Once the last Shadowsoul dies, the flagship arrives at Argus and phase 3 begins. Kil'jaeden will immediately begin channeling Darkness of a Thousand Souls, which will deal very high amounts of damage to everyone in the raid. The raid has no choice but to heal through the damage.

Simply keep moving away from it. In addition to his enrage, the boss also has somewhat of a soft-enrage in the form of Demonic Obelisks. These obelisks are summoned in random locations and fire beams in a straight cross shape to the north, south, east, and west after a short time. While the beams themselves are large, it is not difficult to dodge them or even to move the boss out of the way if it seems like a beam may hit melee... at first. After 3-4 obelisks spawn, it will become increasingly difficult to dodge all the beams. In addition to damage, they also knock players backwards, so be mindful that players are not too close to the edge.

Finally, Kil'jaeden will tear a rift in reality at one of the 4 corners of the arena, which will start pulling players towards it around the time the boss begins channeling Darkness of a Thousand Souls once again. One will notice that there is a circular line around the rift that indicates that if a player stands within it, they will be affected by Gravity Squeeze. This is a relatively strong DOT that lasts as long as players stand near the rift. What is important however, is that should a player be close enough to be affected by Gravity Squeeze, they will not take any damage from Darkness of a Thousand Souls as the rift will absorb the attack. Thus, players should enter range of the rift just as the boss finishes casting DoaTS to avoid the massive damage from the spell.

Should all the mechanics be followed correctly, all DPS should be alive in phase 3 and able to kill the boss before hitting his berserk timer.

Closing cinematic[]

Defeated, Kil'jaeden falls to his knees on the deck of his command ship.
Kil'jaeden: Our fates are now one. Argus will be your tomb.
The command ship begins to descend towards Argus' surface.
Archmage Khadgar: At least we will have died fighting.
Illidan Stormrage: Our war isn't over yet.
Illidan holds up the Inv 7ti titan sargeritekeystone [Sargerite Keystone].
Illidan Stormrage: Not while we hold the key to all worlds.
Illidan charges the Keystone and sends it floating into the Nether. The Keystone sparks and warps the space around it before exploding, tearing a hole in reality and creating an immense rift that grants a view of Azeroth.
Illidan Stormrage: Khadgar! Take us home!
As Khadgar channels his spell, Velen approaches Kil'jaeden, his former friend.
Kil'jaeden: I... was always.. envious of you. Your gift. Your faith. Your vision. I never believed... that Sargeras could be stopped. Perhaps... you will prove me wrong.
Archmage Khadgar: Everyone! Get ready!
Silently, Velen puts a hand on Kil'jaeden's forehead, before Khadgar's spell takes him back to Azeroth. The fel scars on Kil'jaeden's face spread and finally ignite, destroying him and his ship in a burst of light. Meanwhile, Khadgar and his party arrive in Azsuna.
Archmage Khadgar: Is everyone alright?
An ominous rumble of what appears to be thunder catches Velen's and Illidan's attention. Khadgar follows their gaze, his expression turning to complete horror. The rift created by the Keystone remains, leaving an immense gateway between Azeroth and Argus. Khadgar turns towards Illidan.
Archmage Khadgar: What have you done?!
Illidan Stormrage: Sometimes the hand of fate... must be forced.

Aftermath[]

Prophet Velen

I always knew I would see Argus again. Our homecoming appeared time and again in my visions.

But I never imagined this.

There can be no doubt that the fates of my world and yours are intertwined. Can Argus be saved, or must it be sacrificed to stop Sargeras? My visions are clouded, uncertain.

It seems we must forge our own destiny. Light save us all, <name>.

Archmage Khadgar

The Sargerite Keystone tore through the fabric of reality. Now the homeworld of the Legion looms before us, its armies poised to strike.

Turalyon is out there somewhere. Alleria too, I hope. If we can find my old friends, perhaps the Army of the Light can help us end this war.

Illidan Stormrage

Argus. Throne of the Burning Legion. Its infernal machines provide Sargeras with an infinite army.

Time to deprive the Dark Titan of his prize.

Our course is clear. We must take the fight to Argus and bring the Legion to its knees.

Maiev Shadowsong (on the Broken Shore)

One of the Legion's masters has fallen at last, yet this war is far from over.

Was this the true plan of Sargeras all along? His ultimate endgame? Or perhaps this is another's doing. Someone who has betrayed this world before.

<Maiev narrows her eyes as she looks toward the sky.>

I will be watching... and ready.

Trivia[]

  • New tech from Vault of the Wardens was used for the Deceiver's Veil phase, called Fog of War internally. The players have limited vision so they have to use the help of their allies to make their way through that phase.[1]
