Siege of Niuzao Temple Dungeon Guide

This dungeon is available on all 4 dungeon difficulties, starting at level 90 on normal difficulty. Players will race to defend this sacred Niuzao Temple from the relentless Mantid's assault, securing many ancient Celestial secrets from the hands of their enemies.

Vizier Jin'bak is the first encounter in the instance and is fought inside the large tree players land in. In the middle of the area is a large Sap Puddle which deals Nature damage to all enemies in the area. Frequently throughout the fight Vizier Jin'bak will summon Sap Globules around the outside of the room, which will slowly move towards the Sap Puddle in the middle of the room. If they reach the Sap Puddle they will merge with it, making it grow large and cover more of the room. It is vital to kill the Sap Globules before they can reach the Sap Puddle as Vizier Jin'bak will frequently use Detonate, which deals damage based on the size of the Sap Puddle.

Commander Vo'jak is a two phase fight, where players will need to deal with several waves of assaulting adds before Commander Vo'jak himself finally arrives. During this first phase, waves of enemies will run up the ramparts attempting to reach the top and attack your party. Luckily your nearby allies will aid you during this encounter by providing you with several Caustic Tar jars. These jars are intractable objects that can be clicked to target and throw a large AoE slow down at a specified location. This is needed to slow down the incoming waves of adds, allowing your group time to kill them before they reach the top. This is made easier by first slowing the groups down with several Caustic Tar jars thrown in a row, allowing the mobs to stack closely together, then single-target killing the Sik'thik Demolisher. Upon death the Sik'thik Demolisher will explode, dealing a large amount of damage to everyone nearby.

Once all of the waves have been defeated Commander Vo'jak will finally arrive. Caustic Tar jars are still available and can be used on Commander Vo'jak to prevent him from gaining stacks of Rising Speed. Have the group spread out as Commander Vo'jak will periodically charge a random player with Dashing Strike, followed by Thousand Blades. Quickly move away from the area that Commander Vo'jak charges to avoid the AoE whirlwind damage from Thousand Blades.

General Pa'valak has two main abilities. The first, Blade Rush is be used frequently. General Pa'valak will throw his sword at a random players feet and charge the location after a few seconds. Quickly run away from the indicated area and move out of the path of the charge. His second ability is Bulwark, when General Pa'valak reaches 65% and 35% health, he shields himself, becoming immune to all damage temporarily. He will also summon in numerous adds to aid him, namely Sik'thik Amber-Sappers. These sappers will Throw Explosive at you, which can be quickly picked up by interacting with them (clicking), allowing you to throw the explosive back at the enemies. Once all of the adds are dead General Pa'valak will become vulnerable again until the fight ends.

Wing Leader Ner'onok is the final encounter of this instance and can be found at the very end of the final bridge. Random players will be targeted by Quick-Dry Resin, quickly filling up the "Amber Resin" bar. If this bar reaches 100 players will be stunned for 10 seconds, which can easily be prevented by spam jumping when you have this debuff. Wing Leader Ner'onok will also target random players with Caustic Pitch, creating a pool of amber at their feet, dealing damage and slowing enemies caught inside.

The main mechanic of this fight is Gusting Winds, which Wing Leader Ner'onok will use upon reaching both 66% and 33% health. When this occurs Wing Leader Ner'onok will fly from one end of the bridge to the other and begin to channel Gusting Winds, pushing players away from him. The group will need to slowly fight against this wind force, slowly making their way across the bridge until they reach Wing Leader Ner'onok and are able to interrupt the Gusting Winds channel. Repeat this twice and the boss will finally fall.
