Altar of Fangs Dungeon Guide: Location, Boss Strategies, and Trash

This guide will focus on an extensive overview of the dungeon, providing vital information to complete it across all difficulties (Normal, Heroic, and Mythic). We will cover all 3 boss fights supported by the most notable trash enemies in the dungeon and their important abilities.

If you would like to learn about the rest of the dungeons in Midnight Mythic+ Season 2, please see our overview linked below. Otherwise, without further ado, let us begin!

• Be mindful when defeating the Venom Leech smallies as they spawn from their corpse Septic Spatter ground ichor.
• Interrupt Primal Serpent's Piercing Hiss. They also occasionally hit random people with Fetid Spit so use defensives as appropriate.
• Ravenous Descendant will only be a danger to your tank due to their melee swings (especially when buffed with Ravenous Claws).
• Avoid the Toxic Breath frontal coming from Twinfang Harrower. In addition, Paralyzing Shots is an extremely important debuff to dispel; you can also remove it with immunity or any other ability that removes movement-impairing effects ( Blessing of Freedom, Tiger's Lust, etc.).
• Ritual Chieftain is the most important mob in this area due to its Unstable Totem, who does group-wide pulsating damage until the mob is dead. In addition to that, he will cast Blood Sacrifice, putting further strain on your healer with high group-damage + absorbs. Use all of your resources to kill it ASAP.

• During the Ssscavenging channel, use your defensives and collect any ground Messy Eater puddles. If you don't soak them, it will trigger an explosion - Carrion Burst, which can wipe your team.
• Be mindful if you have Triple Shot debuff on you.
• Dodge the incoming Regurgitate frontal.

• Use your active mitigation when Rav'i hits you with Hydrastrike tank buster.
• Move away from any Fresh Meat corpses to avoid the boss from getting Scent of Blood buff. In addition, if the boss is near its Ssscavenging channel cast, it will make her have a bigger shield (Once you break the shield, the group-wide damage stops).

• Top-up your party when the boss is about to cast Ravenous Stomp, it deals great group-wide damage!
• Use your healing cooldowns during Ssscavenging channel, until the shield gets broken, expect massive group-wide damage.

• Interrupt High Evolutionist's Mass Envenom and use your stops for its Evolve channel. Any spare interrupts can be used for Envenom.
• Use your crowd-control abilities to prevent Bloodletter from meleeing you (it will trigger Bloodletting).
• Use your major defensives during Rattling Writhe's Rattle.

• During Toxic Barrage, you need to interrupt the boss 3 to avoid getting Toxic Atrophy debuff.
• Dodge the Burrowing Charge charge and the follow-up Venom Jet frontal.
• During Death Rattle, your goal is to drag the Vine Grip far away from the boss so it breaks and thus enters the fight intermission.
• During the intermission the boss Uncoil to 5 Uncoiled Writhes, your goal is to do as much damage to them as you can, as the combined health of them at the end of the intermission will be the bosses' HP. If they focus you with Spiteful Hunt, make sure to use any crowd-control abilities to prevent them from melee-ing you and applying Spiteful Venom Poison. They will also occasionally cast Toxic Atrophy, so make sure you interrupt that too.
• At the end of the Uncoil intermission, all of the Uncoiled Writhes will form into The Writhing Coil via Assimilation, make sure you don't get hit when they do so; it might turn lethal!

• Use your active mitigation before each Tail Scythe tank buster.
• Stack all Uncoiled Writhes to allow your team a better cleave.

• The Writhing Coil will periodically apply a group-wide DoT effect - Synchronized Venom which will test your HPS against Rot damage; be mindful!

• When Ascendant Serpent gets summoned, spray close with the Infest cast to summon the ads within proximity of cleave. In addition, make sure to dodge the Noxious Spray frontal and the Virulent Whirl tornadoes.
• When defeating Living Venom be mindful of their Venom Burst explosion (it deals group-wide damage, its better to pre-defensive).
• Interrupt Ula'tek's Chosen's Mass Envenom and dodge their Toxic Beam frontal. Any spare interrupts can be used for Envenom casts.

• During Ritual of the Fang channel, make sure you soak the 4 beams to avoid massive group-wide damage if they collide with Zul'jan. Be mindful that during the soaking of those beams, you will get Ritual Venom debuff (it stacks). The debuff has a duration, and if you don't clear it until that duration runs out, you will take lethal damage. You can clear the debuffs by deliberately soaking the Boneslicer frontal or actively dry to get hit by the Axegrinder rotation blades.
• Each time you drop Ritual Venom stack, you will drop a blood pool on the ground due to Bloodletting; make sure to not stay in it.
• Dodge the Axegrinder frontal.

• Use your active mitigation when Zul'jan casts Chop Down.

• Your major healing cooldowns should be used each time there is Ritual of the Fang channel.
• Spot-heal people when they clear their Ritual Venom stacks.
