On this page, you will find Beast Mastery Hunter specific information for each boss in Castle Nathria. This is no encounter guide, but a collection of Beast Mastery Hunter specific tips for each boss.

This page assumes that you already understand most of the mechanics of each encounter. These can be found on the full raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Beast Mastery Hunter and what you can do to deal with each fight as best as possible.

You should be playing Kyrian with Pelagos on all fights except where otherwise noted.

During the Dragonflight Pre-Patch, Castle Nathria, Sanctum of Domination, and Sepulcher of the First Ones will be simultaneously featured as Fated Raids. During this time encounters within each specific raid will include an additional mechanic and items will drop at increased item levels. If you would like to learn more general information about the Fated Raids system as a whole, please see our overview below. Otherwise, continue to use this page for specialization-specific tips.

We advise you to use the following Legendary against Hungering Destroyer: Dire Command.

• Use Aspect of the Turtle and Feign Death (if using Resilience of the Hunter) if your Health drops low while having the Gluttonous Miasma debuff.
• Use Exhilaration if you are on low Health just before dropping off the Expunge debuff to decrease the size of the effect.
• Use Aspect of the Turtle, in combination with Disengage (with Posthaste) and Aspect of the Cheetah, to soak as many of the blue orbs as possible.
• If you have no other sources of enemy healing reduction on your group, consider using a "Mortal Wounds"-pet such as a Carrion Bird (Ferocity), Riverbeast (Tenacity) or Raptor (Cunning). This will reduce the boss' healing done by Hungering Strikes significantly.
