Empowered World Boss Antros Guide (9.2.5)

Antros will become empowered whenever Fated Sepulcher of the First Ones is on rotation. Empowered world bosses drop better loot (Item Level 285) from other world bosses.

Antros is located on Antecedent Isle in Zereth Mortis. To get there, you must first interact with an Ancient Translocator, which opens a flight path directly to the isle. The exact location is depicted in the image below.

Antros will spawn for the first time when Shadowlands Season 3 begins on March 1, 2022.

Antros is an enormous construct that uses its size and strength to safeguard the secrets of the Antecedent Isle. The ancient automa will bring Destruction Cores crashing around it, inflicting heavy damage to those caught in the impact zones and desecrating the area around them. Antros will periodically affect all players with Controlled Calamity, and lay waste to any targets caught inside its Furious Slam.
