ALL Mythic Shadowlands Raid Boss Changes Explained | Patch 11.0.5 |

[@MerokoGaming]

Oops i forgot to add Remnant of Ner'zul. His Malevolence does not knock back anymore so you can just stand and nuke him. Also Rygelon is much easier but people are pointing out his attacks do still do a decent chunk of damage so prioritize healing and damage reduction talents for the fight. One user noted going in the horizon phase helped mitigate the tank debuff. I was able to stand and nuke him on my pally and priest but if you struggle there, that's what you'll need to do.

[@tronam]

Thank you for all your hard work and detailed explanations of these raid bosses. Out of curiosity, what addon are you using that shows the timer bars of upcoming mechanics above your character portrait frame?

[@MerokoGaming]

@tronam deadly boss mods

[@Baboocha491]

But with it, they removed the orbs to through of the edge, too. Which means the achievement is impossible to do right now.

[@MerokoGaming]

@Baboocha491 dang that sucks. I already had it so I had no idea they changed that

[@adrianatkins10]

Finally soloed all Mythic Shadowlands raid. Thanks for the guides!

[@AxleStukov]

Specifying on Sylvannas, it has to be Jaina you help in P2, she's the one who casts the P3 teleport. Helping Thrall does nothing even if it lets you reach Sylvannas in P2, you'll reach the end and nothing will happen until you go back and help Jaina.

[@MerokoGaming]

@AxleStukov oh ok that makes much more sense. I always just went Jaina side but before this patch if you didn't do thralls first platform she wouldn't build the next bridge. Now she does at least

[@darkaurori]

Great video! Thanks for the time putting this together. My first time solo'ing Mythic Sanctum. I did discover that you can hit KT with Shadow Crash while in the phylactery.

Great guide, I tried to solo Sepulcher today and was almost able to do it all. DH at 601 ilvl. I had some trouble with Mal'ganis so I invited a few people along. Hopefully with some more gear I can do it all myself :)

[@ichigoamv1473]

great guide ill add this to anyone still struggling remember your cov abilities work in the shadowlands druids can get convoke without being talented into it and other classes have some good ones too and your soulbonds are still pretty strong aswell

[@sumdeafguy3221]

During Jailors Relentless Domination, I can never tell where the pillars come up, and no matter where I stand, it's always on the opposite side of where I am, not giving me enough time to get out of the line of sight.

[@MerokoGaming]

Are you dropping in the pit for the rune bomb? If you don't it knocks you too high and bugs a bit and the pillar spawns get messed up

@Kaizen29x indeed this was fixed on Tuesday reset. Nzoth as well. Rygelon still hits like a freight truck but i posted a new guide how to handle it

[@edmundblackadder2741]

The jailer just mind controls me a resets and the pillars don't even fall down, am i doing something wrong? edit: the pillars do spawn but he shoots me into the air with the rune attack then the pillars spawn on the very opposite side so i cannot reach them in time

[@MerokoGaming]

@edmundblackadder2741 yes. If you ignore the bomb mechanic and don't jump in the pit as it expires he will knock you too high and won't summon the pillar. I got mc this way. Do that mechanic correctly and he should spawn them

[@vanzi9229]

Rygelon melted my 611 ilvl Priest with the Corrupted Wound dot really fast, I got him down to like 20% before the dot hits for like 600k a tick and I just die. All the other raids/bosses were super easy though, thanks for the guides!

[@MerokoGaming]

@vanzi9229 yeah a lot are reporting this dot is destroying. I'm sad they ignored it. Have you tried a power word shield when he casts? The journal says if you don't mitigate the damage it turns into a stacking dot. Try using shield when he casts it

[@vanzi9229]

@@MerokoGaming I did, it didn't make any difference, even had a WA to call out the Corrupted Strikes, but he spams that every 5 or 6 seconds so it stacks quickly anyway. I will just come back with a different class, Shaman should be able to burn it down with a lust much faster.

[@MerokoGaming]

@vanzi9229 i just went on my hunter to see what's up. It isn't just corrupted strikes another mechanic is hitting super hard. I don't think it was like this or even close before they changed this to be soloable. So I would report this as a bug. It shouldn't be hitting that hard

[@MerokoGaming]

@vanzi9229 I was able to do it on my priest with fleshcraft. Necrolord covenant ability. It gave me 2 mil absorb shield and the dot only started landing toward the end and he died.

[@Zyralithos]

Thank you for this video! I was not aware we could solo any of shadowlands yet 🎉

[@Zyralithos]

I literally just attempted this and full cleared and the mount dropped on my first attempt. I am in disbelief xD

[@danielpina3766]

alongside this place blizzard also broke N'zoth in nyalotha - just like Kelthuzad's Phylactery not letting you target the mob during a phase change, the big Psychus add in the Mindgate phase is also untargetable :D

[@LordVladius]

It’s the same thing with Neltharion in Aberrus

[@MerokoGaming]

This has been fixed as of Tuesday reset

[@allianceorc]

very helpful video like very helpful my opinions on the changes though so glad to see kael thas is soloable now as for dancing fever it really doesnt need to be removed its such a simple mechanic stone legion general is a very welcome change the transmission phase to way to long imo sire denathrius change with burden of sin also makes his achievement easier as it requires you to have NO burdens when you transition thank god they removed the dragging chain add in eye because that made it so unbearable on heroic plus guardian nerf is definetly welcomed you also forgot to mention that sunder now increases damage taken by 300% down from 500% still probably would hurt an undergeared toon but a 200% nerf is big thank god for fatescribes nerf hes been a pain for TOO LONG kel'thuzad also shares the same bug with nzoth btw its not just him its annoying but nothing really to do about it for now also i LOVE how arfus is the tank i never did sepulcher on mythic enough as i got walled really early in but nice to see jailer aint MCing ppl off cliffs anymore

[@whizler]

Thanks a bunch!

[@lucasmemran5075]

thanks mate

[@JDGraphics0]

Here's a quick fix while the Kel'Thuzad fight is still bugged. You just need to right click on his raid frames and pick him up as your focus target during the fight and use the shift modifier to attack your focus target with single target abilities.

[@MerokoGaming]

@JDGraphics0 yo that's some big brain shit. Hopefully it's fixed soon. NZOTH is the same way

[@markuslc1888]

shift modifier?

[@artherir]

Heyo! Still wondering if Kel'thuzad fight is class locked with the pet mechanic, or they fixes Arfus tanking the boss during the philactery phase

[@MerokoGaming]

He worked on my hunter

[@Trains-With-Shane]

glad they fixed the KT fight. I had a difficult time soloing that before even on my BM hunter. would keep despawning. Finally managed to get the timing right with my summoned creatures on my Lock to solo the old school way but it was a pain in the ass. on Halondrus. The weirdest thing that happened to me was he shattered and I got punted into an area on the other side of a wall and I couldn't get back to him, lol. I think the wall gets put up during his walk. Anyways glad they made these things more solo friendly. May get over into Castle Nathria a bit more and farm up some more transmogs on something other than my healing classes.

[@12Rene01]

Wenn ich mich bei KT porte ist der Raum leer, nichts zum angreifen da. Was kann ich tun?

On Salvation now. Once he goes up again, he gets stuck at 15m health and no longer heals himself.

love your guides. im at 629 Item Level as a Frost DK and some bosses just take so long but they also ahve way more HP. Anduin had over 160 mill and in your video you said like 120 or so ?

[@MerokoGaming]

@motzi12 I believe it's 139. You can see it in the video before i pull him. I said 120 cause the fight ends at 10% well you still dps but the check is over then

[@Kornut]

@focus macros work on KT as well!

[@BloodqueenLeonie]

For shadowpriest it might be a good idea to change to shadowcrash that you can target on the ground for kelthuzad. And just so I get it of my chest has anyone tried doing a /target macro for the kelthuzad?

[@MerokoGaming]

@BloodqueenLeonie i try yes lol. Good call on shadowcrash. I'd pair it with the talent that auto applies vt and swp. Will definitely use it next reset. Thanks

[@rakebangalang]

Pro tip for phase 2 sylvannas DO NOT nuke her. If you do and get to phase 3 if her health is below when it’s supposed to end the encounter 45%? She will bug out and soft lock the encounter

[@MerokoGaming]

@rakebangalang good tip. I barely get her to 70 but good call out for higher geared players. Thanks!

[@Kretzig]

I wonder when they make the Eonar fight of the Antorus Raid more Soloable!

[@MerokoGaming]

@Kretzig it's not too bad if you are prepared. But yes it's still a bit of a tight window to get it right

[@knighthawk3749]

Many people make it harder than it needs to be. For example, you only need to do the ship phase once when you solo. Also remember you don't need to defeat Eonar 4 times to earn a skip, it's the next boss. Skips are account wide as well so you only have to earn it once.

When are you doing this? If he phases around 60 while jumping in it won't knock you out, the bomb just disappears and you die.

[@003darkwing]

I do got a question-- in the trash before the Eye in Sanctum, I know the boss is changed, but are there still the trash mobs that can pull you back w/ chains? I take my monk through there and that part is always a pain since my melee attacks can't reach, just have to crackling jade lightning and pray 😆

[@MerokoGaming]

@003darkwing yes they still do the chains on trash. I have been able to kill them before they do the ability but the mechanic is the same for trash. If you run far away and use a speed ability you can yank them to the platform. I just aim to kill them first before it matters

[@susus1130]

line of sight them and after each cast they will get closer to you

Rygelon basically melts my health at around 12% then i just die on my 608 survival hunter, i'm killing him pretty fast but then poof i just fall. not sure whats going on but i cant race his damage at all.

[@MerokoGaming]

@luminaura3000 I think it's the tank debuff corrupted strikes. If you don't mitigate the hit it converts to a dot which stacks. When you see him do corrupted strikes try using an immunity or damage reduction. This should buy you more time

[@contrerasvivanco]

yes I cant get past Rygelon either

[@MerokoGaming]

@contrerasvivanco so i found a way to buy more time. It doesnt guarantee a kill but if your dps is there you can try it. Use fleshcraft from necrolord covenant before you pull. It's gives you a 40% max hp shield for 2 minutes. It basically allows you more time to hard dps him down. It worked for a few of my characters but the lower geared still get smoked. Fleshcraft only requires you to switch covenant, you get it immediately. No specific covenant level needed. Hopefully this helps for now

[@MerokoGaming]

She won't perma fear if you kill him before infiltration if the dread. Have to beat that timer. It's like 2 minutes. P3 Sylvanas you need to move earlier before raze hits. The ability to move is gone if it hits first. For the 4 boss fight. Make sure to nuke the necrotic ritual in final phase and when she flies away dodge the swirls. They heal back in 20 seconds so just get them down around the same time. I did it on my 560 hunter lol. I cleared the entire raid. Don't forget you can use covenant stuff in there
