General Information

Welcome to our World of Warcraft encounter guide for Imonar the Soulhunter in Antorus, the Burning Throne. We will teach you everything you need to know to defeat the boss in every difficulty.

On this particular page, we will give you a short overview of the fight as well as a list of things to watch out for (include LFR tips when applicable).

The other pages of our Imonar the Soulhunter guide can be accessed from the table of contents on the right.

To make it easy to navigate the guide, we have split it into 3 pages:

• Abilities: read about the encounter abilities;
• Normal/Heroic Strategy/Tactics: find out how to defeat the encounter in Normal and Heroic modes;
• Mythic Strategy: learn how to handle the new mechanics and increased difficulty of Mythic mode.

Imonar the Soulhunter must be killed before Varimathras and the final bosses can be accessed.

The infamous Imonar servers as the Legion's bloodhound, capable of tracking prey across the cosmos. With a vast array of gadgets and traps at his disposal, Imonar has yet to lose a bounty... and he certainly doesn't intend to sully his perfect record by failing to fulfil his latest contract.

Imonar the Soulhunter is a three phase encounter split by two intermissions. Most of the fight is centered around environmental mechanics, crowd control, and area denial. Imonar is a unique encounter that may take some groups by surprise, as less seasoned players will find that the most difficult parts of the fight do not even involve fighting the boss.

• Taunt swap each time your Shock Lance or Sever debuffs expire.
• Help clear a path during the Intermission phases.
• Taunt swap with each new application of Empowered Shock Lance in Phase Three to minimize Empowered Electrify damage.

• Dispel players affected by Sleep Canisters once players are at least 10 yards away.
• Dispel players who accidentally trigger Stasis Traps during the intermissions.
• Have cooldowns ready for the intermissions and final phase.

• Avoid triggering traps unless assigned, in the intermissions.
• Move away from players affected by Sleep Canisters, if you are within 10 yards.
• Maintain a proper spread though Phase One, Phase Two, and Phase Three to reduce movement.

We advise you to use Bloodlust/ Heroism/ Time Warp after Conflagration has been interrupted, following Intermission Two. The final phase is the most intense of the three, due to Imonar's empowered abilities, and forces you to quickly finish the boss before the infinite duration and stacking abilities finish you.
