The Prophet Skitra







Essences:
Major: The Crucible of Flame.
Minor: Nullification Dynamo, Conflict and Strife, Strength of the Warden / The Formless Void
Boss Notes:
- Move the boss to any images that have spawned but watch out for the initial burst of damage.
- You can avoid stacks of Shadow Shock with Anti-Magic Shell
- You can use Gorefiend’s Grasp to gather up Images of Absolution and clear up room.
- As both tanks are always a different colour and there is nothing to tank when the boss goes away we are prime candidates to call out or mark which Illusion to attack.

Dark Inquisitor Xanesh







Essences:
Major: The Crucible of Flame.
Minor: Nullification Dynamo, Conflict and Strife, Strength of the Warden / The Formless Void
Boss Notes:
- Death’s Advance will prevent the knockback from Abyssal Strike
- The Void Ritual portals spawn behind the boss. Make sure none of them will spawn inside a pillar to make life easier for the players going inside.

The Hivemind







Essences:
Major: The Crucible of Flame.
Minor: Nullification Dynamo, Conflict and Strife, Strength of the Warden / The Formless Void
Boss Notes:
- Death Grip the Darters towards the raid for more cleave.
- Use Gorefiend’s Grasp to help kill the Drone waves faster.
- When the bosses have to be split up, the range is not as big as some might expect, so keeping them close will still allow some classes to cleave.
- You can use Blessing of Protection to reset the Bleed debuff from the Ravager.

Shad'har the Insatiable







Essences:
Major: The Crucible of Flame.
Minor: Nullification Dynamo, Conflict and Strife, Strength of the Warden / The Formless Void
Boss Notes:
- You cannot prevent any debuffs with Anti-Magic Shell here, so use it to absorb damage from Dissolve.

Drest'agath







Essences:
Major: The Crucible of Flame.
Minor: Nullification Dynamo, Conflict and Strife, Strength of the Warden / The Formless Void
Boss Notes:
- Use Wraith Walk on this encounter as you will be moving with Volatile Seed a lot.

Il'gynoth







Essences:
Major: The Crucible of Flame.
Minor: Nullification Dynamo, Conflict and Strife, Strength of the Warden / The Formless Void
Boss Notes:
- Use Grip of the Dead to assist in slowing the bloods to avoid them reaching players.
- Use Anti-Magic Barrier to reduce the cooldown on Anti-Magic Shell and immune every application of Cursed Blood.

Vexiona







Essences:
Major: The Crucible of Flame.
Minor: Nullification Dynamo, Conflict and Strife, Strength of the Warden / The Formless Void
Boss Notes:
- Use Gorefiend’s Grasp to grip and interrupt Soulcarvers when they start casting Spiteful Assault.
- This can also be interrupted by Strangulate and/or Death Grips.
- You can avoid Void Corruption stacks with Anti-Magic Shell.
- When you have Despair, make sure you help the healers top yourself with death strikes towards the end of the debuff. Don’t waste your runic power too early.

Ra-den the Despoiled







Essences:
Major: The Crucible of Flame.
Minor: Nullification Dynamo, Conflict and Strife, Strength of the Warden / The Formless Void
Boss Notes:
- Anti-Magic Shell does not prevent any debuffs, but it can be used to reduce damage from his tank hitting abilities.
- Death Strike is very effective for Decaying Strike and as a Death Knight you should be able to take more than other tanks.

Carapace of N'Zoth







Essences:
Major: The Crucible of Flame.
Minor: Nullification Dynamo, Conflict and Strife, Strength of the Warden / The Formless Void
Boss Notes:
- You can use Anti-Magic Shell to avoid stacks of Black Scar, which will especially help with tank swapping in stage 1 as you can swap on 2 stacks, instead of 3.
- Use Anti-Magic Shell to avoid the stun from Insanity Bombs in stage 3.

N'Zoth the Corruptor







Essences:
Major: The Crucible of Flame.
Minor: Nullification Dynamo, Conflict and Strife, Strength of the Warden / The Formless Void
Boss Notes:
- You can use Anti-Magic Shell to avoid the Evoke Anguish debuff in stage 2, allowing you to stay in Melee and do more damage.
- Use Gorefiend’s Grasp to gather the small adds after Mindgrasp or inside the Psycus phase when picking them up early.
