2. Lumiforge
- Giant moth-shaped boss
- Phase 1: Cannot move, players with arrows above their heads must run away from the boss to break the connection and create puddles (puddles deal damage and slow)
- Vine rings collapse from the outside to the inside of the room, so you must quickly destroy the vines
- Heroic Difficulty: Tanks match frontal attacks to vines to destroy shields
- Intermission: Damage taken increased by 25%
- Phase 2: The entire room is filled with bad moth juice, so the boss must be constantly moved
- Heroic Difficulty: Group soak required, must be defeated before the room is filled with moth juice
02:17 - 03:12
3. Soulbinder Nazj'rendi
- Phase 1 combat, a combination of single target, AoE, and wide-range AoE
- The goal is to defeat the adds inside the container before they turn into stronger adds
- Drag the boss to a pair of containers and wait for the barrier to rise
- Players stand behind the line and block the orbs fired by the boss to break the barrier and deal 200% additional damage to the adds
- Be careful not to stand on the edge as there is a large knockback
- Avoid orbs fired from players, tanks taunt swap whenever stacks drop
03:13 - 04:05
4. Forge-Hand Araaz
- The boss charges three collector altars, and players must keep the adds away from the altar to slow down the charging speed
- Collectors are immune to damage until the boss fills up with energy and starts the intermission
- All three collectors must be destroyed during the intermission to restart Phase 1
- After two intermissions, Phase 2 begins, and a large black hole tries to suck players to their deaths
- Phase 2: The black hole's suction becomes stronger and stronger, so the boss must be defeated quickly
04:06 - 05:53
5. Soul Harvester
- The goal is to defeat three demon hunters (each specialization) at the same time
- Consists of Phase 1 and three intermissions
- Phase 1: There are various random elements, similar to a typical council fight
- 'Hunt' is a linear attack that requires group soaking
- 'Fracture' splits the tank's soul in two, reducing healing, and two other players must collect the souls (instant death if failed)
- Eye beam-shaped tank frontal attacks must be kept away from the raid
- Absorb circles to gain stacking debuffs, and with the debuff, you can absorb puddles on the floor
- First Intermission: A new demon hunter specialization jumps to the center of the room and pulls players in (instant death if touched), you must absorb the orbs that spawn around the room
- Second Intermission: Avoid the fel rush lines
- Third Intermission: The demon hunter jumps to a random location and sprays fel devastation, so run backwards to avoid damage
05:54 - 06:53
6. Fractalus
- Tetris boss, consists of Phase 1
- There are 6 crystals around the room, each crystal fires a laser at the boss
- The boss randomly selects 4 players and throws walls (walls attack players in their path and stop at the crystal, increasing the laser)
- If too many walls are stacked and the laser touches the boss, it's a wipe
- When the boss fills up with energy, it targets several players, roots them, and then pushes them into the wall to shatter them
- There are various ways to break the wall (spreading the walls, stacking multiple walls, leaving a safe lane, etc.)
06:54 - 08:51
7. Nexus-King Salhadaar
- Includes various elements such as single target, AoE, damage increase, multiple platforms, group cooperation, and large tank/heal spikes
- Phase 1: Stand and bang phase, there are mechanics to avoid, but the main mechanic is to remove debuff stacks (death if not removed)
- Remove stacks by hitting the tank circle instead of the tank frontal attack
- Phase 2: Face the Nexus King and a giant void dragon at the same time
- Large circles must be kept away from the raid (converted into portals), when the boss does a tank frontal attack, it shoots the frontal attack through all portals
- Raid damage is reduced depending on how much the tank can mitigate
- First Intermission: The raid splits into two groups and jumps to different platforms to deal large AoE damage (must kill everything within the time limit)
- Second Intermission: The Nexus King steals the drake's power, dealing 100% increased damage (use Bloodlust at this time to attack the drake as much as possible)
- The boss heals himself depending on how much health is left after eating the drake
- Phase 3: The boss puts circles on several players (move to the edge to create large spike orbs), there is a large circle around the orb that periodically creates spikes
- Use lines to shatter the orbs
