General Information

Welcome to our World of Warcraft encounter guide for Portal Keeper Hasabel in Antorus, the Burning Throne. We will teach you everything you need to know to defeat the boss in every difficulty.

On this particular page, we will give you a short overview of the fight as well as a list of things to watch out for (include LFR tips when applicable).

The other pages of our Portal Keeper Hasabel guide can be accessed from the table of contents on the right.

To make it easy to navigate the guide, we have split it into 3 pages:

• Abilities: read about the encounter abilities;
• Normal/Heroic Strategy/Tactics: find out how to defeat the encounter in Normal and Heroic modes;
• Mythic Strategy: learn how to handle the new mechanics and increased difficulty of Mythic mode.

Portal Keeper Hasabel can be accessed after the Garothi Worldbreaker and the Felhounds of Sargeras have been defeated.

Portal Keeper Hasabel maintains the nexus through which the Legion has unleashed its insidious armies upon countless worlds. With portals that open to a myriad of strategic locations throughout the Great Dark Beyond, Hasabel is capable of bringing the might of the Legion's arsenal to bear upon any who oppose her.

Portal Keeper Hasabel herself has only a single phase, however she will create portals to mini-bosses on three separate occasions, based on her current health, all of which serve as sub-phases. These portals also introduce new adds into the main encounter, which cause the fight to evolve in difficulty and style as it progresses. Hasabel is primarily a healing check, however it requires strong spatial awareness from all players due to the amount of mechanics present.

• Perform a taunt swap every 3-5 stacks of Reality Tear, or when returning from a portal.
• Assist with interrupts when available.
• Pick up and tank the Feltouched Skitterers and Hungering Stalkers.
• Tank the mini bosses on each platform.

• Have group healing or cooldowns ready for Bursting Darkness.
• Dispel Delusions once you have reached a comfortable level of Mana.
• Provide strong throughput healing throughout the entire encounter.

• Kill portal mini-bosses as fast as possible.
• Interrupt mini-bosses, Felblaze Imps' Fiery Detonations, and Hungering Stalkers' Howling Shadows.
• Cleave down adds on the main platform as quickly as possible.

We advise you to use Bloodlust/ Heroism/ Time Warp after the portal group has returned from defeating Lord Eilgar. Wait for them to be properly in position on the main platform, then pop all available damage cooldowns and burn down Portal Keeper Hasabel.
