The Mechanar Dungeon Guide

Before heading into The Mechanar, we advise you to get all the dungeon quests related to it. To make this process easier, we have written a separate guide for the quests and their chains.

Reaching The Mechanar requires a flying mount to reach the platform where Mechanar is located. Out of the four flying platforms, The Mechanar is located on the far right side.

The picture above shows the first floor of The Mechanar, where you will find Gatewatcher Gyro-Kill and Gatewatcher Iron-Hand, both of which must be slain to unlock the elevator to the next floor. You will also find Mechano-Lord Capacitus toward the end of this floor. Follow the arrows shown for the quickest route in this dungeon.

Here we have the much smaller, second floor of The Mechanar. Be aware that advancing on the bridge after fighting Nethermancer Sepethrea will start a gauntlet-style event where you will need to fight three waves of trash in a row. After defeating the final boss, Pathaleon the Calculator, you can use the portal behind him to quickly exit the dungeon.

Killing mobs in this instance grants The Sha'tar reputation.

• Most monsters grant 12 reputation each.
• Each Gatekeeper grants 90 reputation.
• Each boss grants 120 reputation.
• A Normal run of The Mechanar will give around 1,150 reputation.
• Reputation gains in Normal go all the way up until Exalted.

• Most monsters grant 15 reputation each.
• Tempest-Forge Destroyers grant 30 reputation each.
• Each Gatekeeper grants 250 reputation.
• Each boss grants 250 reputation.
• A Heroic run of The Mechanar will give around 2,100 reputation.

In this section, we will briefly go over each of the trash mobs that pose a threat to you in this dungeon.

• Shadow Power
• Saw Blade
• Stream of Machine Fluid

This is the one of the two Gatekeepers that will need to be killed to open the Cache of the Legion. He drops the Jagged Blue Crystal which is needed to make the Cache of the Legion Key.

Simply face him away from the group, remove Shadow Power and Stream of Machine Fluid if possible, and heal up anyone hit by Saw Blade.

• Jackhammer
• Shadow Power
• Hammer Punch
• Stream of Machine Fluid

This is the other Gatekeeper that will need to be killed to open the Cache of the Legion. He Drops the Jagged Red Crystal which is needed to make the Cache of the Legion Key.

Be mindful of your threat if the tank is stunned by Hammer Punch. Remove the Shadow Power and Stream of Machine Fluid if possible. When he starts doing Jackhammer everyone must move away from him to avoid the high AoE damage, including the tank.

• Anesthetic
• Bandage

These enemies can be somewhat dangerous because of their Anesthetic. The sleep can be dispelled by spells such as Cleanse or Tremor Totem. Try to interrupt these mobs as much as possible.

• Arcane Nova
• Summon Arcane Golem
• Dispel Magic

Aim to either crowd control these or kill these first. They do moderate damage and summon in Arcane Servant, which should be focused down quickly as they have low health and deal AoE damage.

• Solar Strike
• Whirlwind

These hit somewhat hard, so keep your tank at full health and dispelled if possible.

• Growth Ray

These can be quite dangerous as they buff their allies and deal decent damage themselves. Try to kill these early or crowd control them. Use any nearby line-of-sight spots to avoid taking casts in the open.

• Fire Shield
• Solarburn

You will want to use line-of-sight as much as possible with these. Make sure to interrupt whenever possible with any available kicks or stuns. Aim to remove the Fire Shield with some sort of ability such as Purge or Spellsteal, especially if your group is melee-heavy.

• Pound

These can be crowd controlled with abilities such as Banish or Fear. The Pound can cause issues if it hits the tank early on in the fight.

• Nether Explosion
• Netherbomb
• Maniacal Charge

These deal high damage to all nearby enemies constantly. Spread out to avoid the high AoE damage; they will also charge to a random enemy when low on health.

• Charged Fist
• Knockdown

These hit fairly hard, especially when buffed with Charged Fist. Interrupt it whenever possible.

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.

• Netherbomb
• Reflective Damage Shield
• Reflective Magic Shield
• Head Crack
• Polarity Shift — This ability is used on Heroic difficulty instead of the reflective shields. All players will be randomly debuffed with either a Positive Charge or a Negative Charge.

The group should make sure to stay slightly spread out and pay attention to the Netherbombs' positions nearby. On Normal difficulty players need to pay attention to which reflective shield is up. Melee need to make sure to not die to the reflective damage from Reflective Damage Shield and casters need to stop their casts during the Reflective Magic Shield.

On heroic difficulty, the reflective shields are replaced with Polarity Shift, which will mark all players with either a Positive Charge or a Negative Charge. Players will need to avoid those with a different charge than they have, as the charges deal 2,000 damage to any nearby players with a different buff. Those with the same buff will want to group together, as every nearby player with the same charge increases damage dealt by 100%.

Make sure to avoid the Netherbombs as much as possible. Pay attention to which charge you get from the Polarity Shift. Be aware as well that your charge can change multiple times throughout the fight, so be ready to move away from players you were previously stacking with. Tanks may also have a difficult time holding threat on this boss depending on how many stacks they have.

• Dragon's Breath
• Arcane Blast
• Solarburn
• Frost Attack
• Summon Raging Flames

As soon as Nethermancer Sepethrea is engaged in combat, she will summon 2 Raging Flames, or 3 on Heroic mode. These will fixate on a random target for a short period of time, following them wherever they go. Wherever the Raging Flames walk, they leave a long trail of fire behind them, dealing damage to anyone who touches it. Periodically they will stop moving and start to cast Inferno, dealing high fire damage to anyone near them. Players will need to kite these around while avoiding getting trapped by the blazing path and not get cut off from the rest of their party.

The tank will need to be moving the boss constantly as the Raging Flames will be running all over the place and the entire group will need to be moving almost non-stop. Try to find safe areas where you can stand without nearby fires, but still be aware of your escape path should you be targeted by the Flames.

Dragon's Breath will cause Nethermancer Sepethrea to temporarily ignore the tank until they are free from the disorient effect. Either dispel the Dragon's Breath debuff or stay near the tank so they can taunt afterwards. Avoid getting knocked back into the fire or any nearby Raging Flames by Arcane Blast.

• Domination
• Summon Nether Wraith
• Mana Tap
• Arcane Torrent
• Arcane Explosion
• Disgruntled Anger
• Enrage

Casters should make sure they stay at max range to avoid being silenced by the Arcane Torrent. Tanks will need to pick up Nether Wraiths whenever they are spawned. Your group may want to kill these or, if your damage is high, they may choose to ignore them and focus on Pathaleon the Calculator. When Pathaleon Enrages, he will destroy all remaining Nether Wraiths.

The hardest part of this fight might be players having low Mana or resources after dealing with the gauntlet. Make sure to drink up as much as possible before Pathaleon engages your group.

Domination can be a big problem if used on a melee DPS as it grants 150% increased attack speed. Make sure to use any stuns, disarms or crowd control available to you on any mind-controlled players.

The pulls in The Mechanar are generally small, so no significant amount of AoE is needed. No crowd control is required, but having a Warlock in your group will make the run significantly easier as both Fear and Banish will get a high amount of use in this dungeon.
