Throne of the Tides Dungeon Guide

Throne of the Tides is found in the Vashj'ir subzone, Abyssal depths. Here you will need to swim through the Abyssal Breach and make your way North until you run into the dungeon entrance.

Here we will give you a full rundown of what you can expect from each of the bosses found here on both Normal and Heroic difficulties as well as the items they drop.

• Summon Geyser
• Fungal Spores
• Waterspout
• Shock Blast
  • Naz'jar Honor Guard
  • Arc Slash
  • Enrage
• Naz'jar Tempest Witch
  • Chain Lightning
  • Lightning Surge

Spread out when engaging Lady Naz'jar as she has multiple AoE abilities. Dispel the Fungal Spores disease debuff if possible, and be ready to move out of any Summon Geysers placed on the ground under your feet. She will also often attack the tank with Shock Blast, dealing deadly Nature damage; interrupt this as much as possible. When Lady Naz'jar reaches 60% and 30% health she will channel Waterspout, making her immune to all attacks and spells.

During this 1-minute cast, 1 Naz'jar Honor Guard and 2 Naz'jar Tempest Witchs will spawn in and attack players. These much be either crowd controlled or quickly killed as they are very dangerous. Focus down the Naz'jar Tempest Witchs first, interrupting them as much as possible and dispelling the Lightning Surge, or running away from your allies when they use it. Avoid being in front of the Naz'jar Honor Guard as it cleaves targets with Arc Slash.

• Squeeze
• Dark Fissure
• Curse of Fatigue
• Enrage

Commander Ulthok will frequently attack a target in front of him with Dark Fissure, spawning a void zone that slowly grows over time. Players must quickly move out of these void zones, including the tank, and position the boss in a safer area. Random players will also get debuffed with Curse of Fatigue, slowing their movement speed down greatly, and can get stunned by Squeeze for 6-seconds.

• Phase One
• Erunak Stonespeaker
• Emberstrike
• Magma Splash
• Lava Bolt
• Earth Shards
• Phase Two
• Mindbender Ghur'sha
• Absorb Magic
• Mind Fog
• Unrelenting Agony
• Enslave

This is a short, two phase fight where you start off by engaging with Erunak Stonespeaker. He will shoot Earth Shards at random targets current location, causing spikes to quickly move towards them; move away from these and do not be in their path either. Avoid the frontal AoE damage from Magma Splash and be sure to dispel any debuffs during this phase. At 50% health Mindbender Ghur'sha will be released from Erunak Stonespeaker and will Enslave a party member. Your group must DPS that player down to 50% health as well to again release Mindbender Ghur'sha, allowing you to finally defeat it. Avoid any clouds summoned by Mind Fog as they will prevent you from attacking or casting spells.

• Phase One
• Deep Murloc Invader
• Vicious Mindlasher
• Shadow Bolt
• Brain Spike
• Unyielding Behemoth
• Shadow Blast
• Blight Spray
• Phase Two
• Blight Beast
• Phase Three
• Ozumat
• Blight of Ozumat
• Neptulon
• Tidal Surge

The Ozumat fight is unique, having you mostly focus on dealing with adds before facing the sea kraken himself. During the first phase you will fight waves of Deep Murloc Invaders, which should be simply AoE'd down quickly. The Vicious Mindlashers should be interrupted whenever possible to stop their Brain Spike mana burn; and Unyielding Behemoth should be focused down quickly and stunned as much as often as you are able. After killing enough adds, phase two will start.

Phase two consists of killing the 3 Faceless Sappers around the room. While in this phase, a Blight Beast will periodically spawn in and move slowly towards their target. These should be picked up by a tank and kited as they move very slow and hit rather hard. Once all 3 Faceless Sappers are killed, the third and final phase starts. In this phase players are buffed with Tidal Surge, increasing health and healing by 500%, and damage dealt by 2000%. This allows you to quickly dispatch Ozumat in this phase as he has a much higher HP pool than an average dungeon boss.
