Master the Obsidian Sanctum raid in World of Warcraft: Midnight. Learn strategies for Vesperon, Tenebron, Shadron, and the final boss, Sartharion, including drake mechanics and loot.
Walkthrough
- 1Trash Mobs: Clear trash mobs leading to the bosses. Be aware that any remaining trash will join boss fights.
- 2Drake Encounters: The drakes Vesperon, Tenebron, and Shadron are encountered clockwise from the entrance. It's possible to clear trash by hugging walls to avoid aggroing trash that will join the boss fight.
- 3Vesperon: Not essential to enter his portal, but some players should. He can be burned down without the portal. Leaving him alive applies a 25% less health debuff to Sartharion.
- 4Tenebron: His portal spawns eggs that hatch into whelps. These whelps can be AoE'd down and ignored. Leaving Tenebron alive applies a 100% shadow damage taken debuff to Sartharion.
- 5Shadron: Send all DPS into the portal with the main tank (MT) and healer. The rest of the raid stays outside. The group inside burns the add. Leaving Shadron alive applies a 100% fire damage taken debuff to Sartharion.
- 6Sartharion: The main boss.
Tips
- Positioning: Do not stand behind or in front of Sartharion due to his cleave and tail sweep (which stuns). All DPS should be positioned to the sides of his belly.
- Adds: Off-tank the adds that spawn.
- Flame Waves: Avoid flame waves. A warning will appear indicating waves are forming. Look to both sides of Sartharion to see where they are coming from and move to avoid them. More complex patterns exist, but general awareness is key.
- De-Raging Adds: Adds hit by waves can be de-raged or kept out of the fire.
- DPS Race: If mechanics are handled correctly, the fight can become a DPS race.
