Temple of the Jade Serpent Dungeon Guide

This dungeon is available on all 4 dungeon difficulties, starting at level 85 on normal difficulty. Located deep inside the dense Jade Forest, this once promeninent temple has fallen under the Sha's corruption; players must work with the temple's guardians to face their doubts and drive the darkness from these sacred grounds.

Wise Mari is a two-phase encounter, with most of the fight taking place during phase one. Avoid standing in any water throughout the fight as it has been corrupted by Corrupted Waters, causing it to damage any player standing in it. Additionally, Wise Mari will often use Hydrolance, causing random sections of the nearby water to explode for high damage.

Wise Mari is immune to all damage during this phase and will frequently summon in Corrupt Living Water elementals to aid him. These should be tanked and quickly killed away from the group to avoid the Corrupted Waters they drop upon death. After four Corrupted Waters elementals have died, phase two will begin.

During phase two Wise Mari himself can be attacked. He only uses one spell this phase, Wash Away, which spouts a jet beam of water in front of him whilst he spins in a clockwise circle. Anyone hit by the beam of water will take high damage and be knocked into the air a short distance; keep moving in a circle around the boss, avoiding the water jet at all times until he has been defeated.

Heading much further into the temple, players will come across Lorewalker Stonestep in his library standing before a Corrupted Scroll. Attacking and defeating this scroll will start the battle, where players will face one of two challenges.

Strife and Peril is one of two possible challenges. When directly attacked, both Strife and Peril will gain a stack of Intensity. If not attacked for a short time they will rapidly drop stacks of Intensity and instead gain stacks of Dissipation. If the group continues to attack the same boss constantly they will continue gaining stacks of Intensity, up to 15 stacks. At max stacks they gain Ultimate Power, becoming temporarily immune to damage. Damage one boss until it gains Ultimate Power, then swap to the other boss until it also gains Ultimate Power, repeat this until both bosses die.

The second possible encounter (rather than Strife and Peril) is fought across two phases. In phase one players will fight Five Suns which attack random members which should be quickly killed and will summon a Haunting Sha when killed. The Haunting Sha needs to be tanked and interrupted as much as possible while killed as they deal high damage to their target. Once all five Suns have been dealt with you will face off against the Sha corrupted Zao Sunseeker who was previously aiding you. He has no abilities and should be quickly dispatched to end this fight and cleanse his corruption.

Liu Flameheart can be found deep within the temple, corrupted by the Sha's touch, players will need to force the corruption out of this Priestess over a three-phase fight. Clear all of the trash inside the room and have players spread out to begin the encounter. Phase one has very minimal mechanics, simply dispel the Serpent Strike damage-over-time debuff from the tank whenever it's applied, and avoid the three waves of lava created by Serpent Wave. Once Liu Flameheart reaches 70% health phase two will start.

In phase two Liu Flameheart upgrades her abilities to more powerful versions of their previous selves. These new spells however can and should be handled the in the same manor as the previous spells. Keep the tank dispelled, and avoid waves of "lava" as well as the fires (now green) left behind. Once Liu Flameheart reaches 30% health phase three begins.

In this final phase, the corruption inside Liu Flameheart will physically manifest into Yu'lon, a Jade Serpent that must be destroyed to cleanse the corruption from the Priestess. Yu'lon will frequently use Jade Fire, which creates a pool of green flames at the feet of the targeted player. Avoid the fire patches and finish off the boss to free Liu Flamehearts spirit and open the temple doors to Sha of Doubt.

In the final room of the temple players will find the Sha of Doubt who has been corrupting the temples denizens; have the party stack together to simplify this encounter. Touch of Nothingness deals damage-over-time to a random target and all nearby allies; be sure to dispel this as soon as possible as your party will be stacked together for this fight. The main mechanic of this encounter are the adds, Figment of Doubt; Sha of Doubt will occasionally channel Bounds of Reality, becoming immune to all damage and creating a clone ( Figment of Doubt) of each player. These clones must be quickly killed or they will heal the boss after a short time; the group should be stacked together to allow everyone to AoE down the adds quickly. Repeat this process until the boss has been defeated and his corruption cleansed.
