Azjol-Nerub Dungeon Guide

Before heading into Azjol-Nerub, we advise you to get all the dungeon quests related to it. To make this process easier, we have written a separate guide for the quests and their chains.

Azjol-Nerub is found in the bottom of this cave area, directly to the right of the summoning stone.

Here we will give you a full rundown of what you can expect from each of the bosses found here on both Normal and Heroic difficulties as well as the items they drop.

• Curse of Fatigue
• Mind Flay
• Frenzy

Keep players that are in melee range of the boss alive through the AoE damage and quickly kill any spider adds that spawn during the fight.

• Acid Cloud
• Leech Poison
• Web Grab
• Pierce Armor

This fight will start with Hadronox slowly moving up the tunnel while he fights a large amount of spider adds. Start out by killing any adds that are alive to reduce the amount of healing Hadronox gets from his Leech Poison. Use any dispels possible to remove the Leech Poison as Hadronox will heal a lot from this, especially when he pulls everyone in with Web Grab. Finally, be sure to move out of any Acid Clouds that spawn during the encounter.

• Pound
• Carrion Beetles
• Leeching Swarm
• Impale

Before engaging the boss, make sure all players are inside the room as a wall will lock players out shortly after entering combat. Keep Anub'arak faced away from the group to prevent additional players from being hit by the Pound as it deals massive damage.

At 75%, 50%, and 25% health, Anub'arak will burrow underground, removing all debuffs and preventing players from hitting him. During this time, adds will continually spawn and must be killed to bring Anub'arak back up to the surface. While burrowed, Anub'arak will periodically cause spikes to rupture from the ground, dealing massive damage and knocking up any players hit.
