1.

Overview

Trilliax is a 3-phase encounter in the Nighthold. This is a high movement, single target encounter that mostly focuses on environmental awareness. While it is mechanically uncomplicated overall, it can harshly punish players who make mistakes. Trilliax cycles through his phases in a time based fashion, meaning the raid will likely have to deal with multiple revolutions before finishing the encounter.

2.

All Phases

Arcane Seepage Icon Arcane Seepage forms on the ground under random players as the boss is damaged. A purple circle will appear briefly before the Arcane Seepage Icon Arcane Seepage spawns, giving players a moment to move. Once it has spawned, it deals low Arcane damage every second to players standing in it. They persist indefinitely, unless cleared by a Scrubber.

3.

The Cleaner

Trilliax will stay in this phase for 45 seconds.

Arcane Slash Icon Arcane Slash is periodically cast on the main tank. It deals heavy Arcane damage in front of Trilliax, which can be split between 2 targets. It also applies a debuff to the main target that increases damage taken by 35% for the next 30 seconds, and it stacks.

Toxic Slice Icon Toxic Slice spawns toxic cakes throughout the perimeter of the room. Players that come in contact with the Toxic Slice Icon Toxic Slices will apply a debuff that deals Nature damage every second for 20 seconds. This debuff can stack if the player eats additional slices. They persist indefinitely unless eaten. If Trilliax reaches the Caretaker phase or the next cycle of the Cleaner phase with Toxic Slice Icon Toxic Slices remaining, he will perform abilities that usually result in a raid wipe. Trilliax will spawn Toxic Slice Icon Toxic Slices every 30 seconds, for a total of 2 casts before the next phase begins. On Heroic difficulty and up, players will be Stuffed Icon Stuffed for 60 seconds, preventing them from eating another Toxic Slice Icon Toxic Slice and reducing movement speed by 25%.

Sterilize Icon Sterilize will only occur in the second Cleaner phase and any additional Cleaner phases after that. Trilliax will debuff several players, which causes them to inflict Arcane damage every 0.5 seconds for 40 seconds to anyone within 7 yards. If the damaging pulse makes contact with a Scrubber, it will drain 4% of their maximum Energy every 0.5 seconds and increase their movement speed by 70%. It will also cause the debuffed player to take moderate Arcane damage every 0.5 seconds.

Cleansing Rage Icon Cleansing Rage will only occur in the second Cleaner phase and any additional Cleaner phases after that. Trilliax will destroy any remaining Toxic Slice Icon Toxic Slices and deal heavy raid wide Arcane damage based on the number of remaining Toxic Slice Icon Toxic Slices.

4.

The Maniac

Trilliax will stay in this phase for 40 seconds.

Mana Rupture Icon Mana Rupture will damage half the raid every second during this phase. It deals light Arcane damage.

Arcing Bonds Icon Arcing Bonds will link 2 players together, causing them to take heavy damage if they are too far apart. They cease to take damage when they are standing close together. Arcing Bonds Icon Arcing Bonds lasts 30 seconds.

Annihilation Icon Annihilation is cast roughly halfway through the phase. Trilliax will jump to the center of the room and create a laser beam that comes out of the front and back of the boss. Trilliax will randomly spin in either direction, and can change direction during the 16-second channel. Anyone caught in the beams during this time will take extremely significant Arcane damage every 0.5 seconds. Trilliax will end the Maniac phase at the conclusion of this channel.

5.

The Caretaker

Trilliax will stay in this phase for roughly 13 seconds.

Succulent Feast Icon Succulent Feasts are spawned at the beginning of the phase throughout the arena. Players that eat the feasts are granted a hefty absorb that lasts 2 minutes or until fully depleted.

Tidy Up Icon Tidy Up summons 5 Scrubbers to cleanse the room of Arcane Seepage Icon Arcane Seepage and Toxic Slice Icon Toxic Slices. Each pool they scrub will grant them 20 Energy (25 on Heroic); if they reach 100 Energy they will begin to cast Cleansing Destruction Icon Cleansing Destruction. If this cast concludes the raid will take moderate Arcane damage. Players can interact with the Scrubber during Cleansing Destruction Icon Cleansing Destruction and prevent the cast, which causes the soaker to be the only one to take damage.
