Court of Stars Dungeon Guide: Location, Boss Strategies, Trash, and Loot

Court of Stars is a level 70 dungeon located on the south coast of - Suramar, Broken Isles. The nearest flight point for Alliance and Horde players is Meredil, Suramar. Upon landing, head further to the east until you uncover the dungeon's entrance.

This guide will focus on an extensive overview of the dungeon, providing vital information to complete it on Mythic and Mythic Keystone difficulty. We will cover all 3 boss fights supported by the most notable trash enemies in the dungeon and their important abilities. If you would like to learn about the other Dragonflight Dungeons or the upcoming Mythic+ season instead, please see our overviews linked below. Otherwise, without further ado, let us begin!

There are several Profession/Class bonuses that you can access throughout the dungeon, and each of them will give you unique powers or utilities. Below you can find more information on where you can find them and what exactly their function is:

Before you engage any trash mobs in this area, you must watch out for any Signaling Beacons around the area. The more of them you disable, the easier the Patrol Captain Gerdo boss fight will be. There are 5 beacons in total within the Gilded Market area. Here is what you should know about the trash mobs located there:

• Watch out for the Duskwatch Guard's Quelling Strike frontal ability (it always goes on your tank. In addition, use Purge or Dispel effects once you see them cast Fortification, it will reduce their damage taken by 25% and increase their Haste by 25%!
• Step away from the Mana Wyrm once they reach critical health levels. Upon death, they will cast Wild Detonation, which you must avoid at all costs.
• Guardian Constructs is the toughest mob in this area; make sure you always interrupt its Suppress silence channel cast. In addition, they will cast Charging Station; if not interrupted, it will heal and increase the damage of the nearby mobs. This is going to be your priority-target to kill!
• Stop the Duskwatch Sentry once they run toward the nearby Signaling Beacon. If they finish the Sound Alarm, they will spawn a few trash mobs that give no count, so make sure you stop them at all costs! (Using stun is a great way to stop it).
• Sidestep the Charged Blast from Bound Energy.
• Mana Saber will always cast Mana Fang on the furthest enemy; use a personal defensive if you are at low health.

Rogue and players with Alchemy profession, can interact with Flask of the Solemn Night and poison it before the fight begins. This will allow you, once the boss goes for its Flask of the Solemn Night to instantly die rather than empowering itself (she casts that ability at 25% health).

• Avoid the Resonant Slash frontal-cone ability.
• Once you see the Arcane Lockdown cast, jump 3 to remove the 3 applications of the debuff (you can also dispel it).
• If you have de-activated all the Signaling Beacons upon the cast, the boss will not be able to summon any Vigilant Duskwatcher.

• If any Vigilant Duskwatchers spawn, take the aggro and stack them close to the Patrol Captain Gerdo to allow your DPS to cleave all targets simultaneously.

• Dispel the Arcane Lockdown
• If any Vigilant Duskwatcher, watch out for their Hinder cast. Yes, you can dispel the stun effect!
• If you do not have Rogue or anyone with Alchemy profession, use your healing cooldowns once the Patrol Captain Gerdo casts Flask of the Solemn Night.

You can continue to acquire the unique buffs in the Midnight Court area while navigating your way through the several new trash mobs and 3 minibosses that you must defeat before engaging the second boss of the dungeon — Talixae Flamewreath. Here is more information on behalf of that:

• Watch out for Blazing Imps' Drifting Embers. Do not underestimate them just because they have lower health; use mass stun effects to stop the channel cast when available.
• Use defensive when Watchful Inquisitors are casting Eye Storm. This is a high-damage alert and your healer must be ready with their cooldowns if needed!
• Interrupt the Bewitch cast from Shadow Mistress. In addition, your tank must pay attention to Shadow Slash, especially if they pull that trash mob with any other non-boss-enemies.
• Beware of the Legion Hound and their Felblaze Leap. It will always go on a random target, which can catch you by surprise!
• At last, the mandatory Felbound Enforcers you must kill in this area. They have only one cast — Fel Detonation, which you can line off sight before it ends to avoid the massive damage you will take from it!

You must defeat the 3 minibosses that surround Talixae Flamewreath since each of the demonic emissaries will grant Bond of Cunning aura, which will make the boss fight significantly harder. Here is what each of them does.

Baalgar the Watchful will have 2 important abilities Disintegration Beam and Impending Doom. Your kicks should go on Disintegration Beam and your healer must be aware of how Impending Doom works — it will always go on a 2 random players from your party. Upon dispelling, it will trigger an AoE explosion to all enemies.

Imacu'tya will be annoying for melee players since you must run out of melee when she casts Whirling Blades. In addition, make sure you interrupt her Scream of Pain cast, or else it will damage everyone in your party.

Jazsharlu has lethal frontal cast — Shockwave, which will stun you and Crushing Leap, randomly targeting anyone from your party and dealing damage to them.

• Interrupt all Withering Soul casts.
• Stack together for the Infernal Eruption, but make sure you do not get hit by the initial damage.
• Focus on the Infernal Imps as soon as they spawn from Infernal Eruption.

• Stack all the Infernal Imps on top of the Talixae Flamewreath.

• Be ready to top up your party when Talixae Flamewreath is casting Burning Intensity.
• If Withering Soul cast goes through, you can dispel the effect.

Once you have defeated Talixae Flamewreath, talk to the Lyleth Lunastre NPC just before you enter the The Jeweled Estate. He will disguise you and give you a mission to find the spy in the room. Each Chatty Rumormonger will have a chance to give you a clue, up to a maximum of 5 clues. Once you collect the clues, it becomes much easier to find the spy; upon finding it, the NPC will flee into one of the corridors and Gerenth the Vile will appear. After defeating the Gerenth the Vile, the door at the final boss will open, and you will be able to engage in the encounter. One side note, once you have collected all 5 clues, you can use Demon Hunter's Spectral Sight to find out the spy! Here is what you should know about Gerenth the Vile:

• Shadow Bolt Volley is unavoidable AoE damage that will be cast upon your party every couple of seconds.
• Your tank must beware with Vampiric Claws as it deals serious initial damage and heals the Gerenth the Vile.
• Your whole party must pay attention to the Hypnosis Bat and use a stun effect to stop his cast; otherwise, the person that gets targeted by it will be charmed and turn hostile.

• Blade Surge will be cast on the furthest player from your party, dealing serious initial damage and leaving a hard ticking Bleed effect, so you want to "bait" it at a good spot. Reminder, after the charge, the boss will leave an image of Advisor Melandrus.
• Avoid the rotating Piercing Gales on the ground. They will appear at the location where Advisor Melandrus begins his Blade Surge cast.
• Avoid the Piercing Gale ground animation. Remember that any images of Advisor Melandrus will copy this ability when cast.

• Continuously relocate the boss so you avoid any nearby images of Advisor Melandrus and their Piercing Gales.

• Use your healing cooldowns when the boss is casting Slicing Maelstrom. A reminder that images of Advisor Melandrus will also copy this ability when cast.
