Stormstout Brewery Dungeon Guide

This dungeon is available on all 4 dungeon difficulties, starting at level 85 on normal difficulty with three bosses. Players will team up with the local Pandarian townsfolk in an attempt to take back the recently overrun brewery from an unknown force who is using the local wildlife for their own personal army.

Ook-Ook is the first encounter players will face inside the brewery, and can only be engaged once enough trash has been cleared, as indicated by the dungeon counter. He has two main abilities for players to deal with, the first being a frontal cone-attack in Ground Pound, which should be avoided by moving behind the boss whenever this is cast. The second, Rolling Barrel, occurs whenever Ook-Ook reaches 90%, 60%, and 30% health for the first time. When used, numerous Rolling Barrels will be throw down at players, rolling until they collide with a player or a wall where they will explode for high AoE damage. Players are able to interact with a barrel by clicking it to "ride" it. They can then guide it directly into Ook-Ook to deal significant damage to him and increase his damage taken. Repeat this process until the boss has been defeated.

After fighting through the heavily infested brewery, players will face off next against Hoptallus. Have your Ranged DPS and Healer stand at a distance away from Hoptallus to avoid the frequent AoE damage from Furlwind and keep the melee players topped up. The main threat of this battle is Carrot Breath, a channeled frontal cone attack, during which Hoptallus will rotate in a circle. Move around Hoptallus in a circle, avoiding the Carrot Breath as he spins around.

Inside the final room you will face off against three waves of Alementals with varying different enemies that must be defeated before the boss will appear. The Alementals found in your dungeon can vary each time; the waves consist of the following enemies for Wave One:

• 2 × Bloated Brew Alemental or;
• 2 × Stout Brew Alemental.

Wave Two:

• 9 × Bubbling Brew Alemental or;
• 9 × Yeasty Brew Alemental.

Wave Three:

• 4 × Fizzy Brew Alemental or;
• 4 × Sudsy Brew Alemental.

After defeating the last of the Alementals the boss, Yan-Zhu the Uncasked will appear. Yan-Zhu the Uncasked has three different abilities which change depending on which Alementals you faced earlier. The possibilities for his First Ability are:

• Bloat, if you previously fought Bloated Brew Alementals;
• Blackout Brew, if you previously fought Stout Brew Alementals.

Second Ability:

• Bubble Shield, if you previously fought Bubbling Brew Alementals;
• Summons more Yeasty Brew Alemental if you previously fought Yeasty Brew Alementals. They will also gain a new spell, Ferment, channeling a healing beam into Yan-Zhu the Uncasked, healing him over time. This healing beam can be stopped by having a player stand between the Yeasty Brew Alemental and Yan-Zhu the Uncasked, breaking the beam.

Third Ability:

• Carbonation, if you previously fought Fizzy Brew Alementals;
• Wall of Suds, if you previously fought Sudsy Brew Alementals.

Dealing with the adds is the main part of this encounter as Yan-Zhu the Uncasked mostly uses weak spells, similar to the trash mobs. Spread out slightly for Bloat and make sure you do not have other players directly to your left or right. Blackout Brew requires the debuffed player to move and jump frequently to remove the debuff, while DPS players will need to destroy any nearby Bubble Shields to stop the damage reduction buff they grant.

Yan-Zhu the Uncasked's final ability, either Carbonation or Wall of Suds, are improved from their "trash" versions. Carbonation has been upgraded to now cover the entire room, preventing all players from using any abilities. Look for the nearby Fizzy Bubbles, which can be interacted with (clicked) to gain temporary flight, allowing you to fly above the Carbonation debuff entirely.

Wall of Suds now creates two large walls of suds that travels across the room, greatly damaging any player hit. Luckily you can avoid these walls by using the temporary passive buff you have, Sudsy, which allows you to jump higher. This allows you to jump entirely over the wall, and if timed and positioned properly, you are able to jump over both walls at the same time. Repeat the fight, handling whichever three abilities Yan-Zhu the Uncasked has accordingly.
