King's Rest 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 4 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!

• Avoid getting hit by Animated Guardian's Suppression Slam. Consider using defensives when low, due to their Heavy Slams and the quantity of the Animated Guardians; it might be quite HPS-intensive.
• Use crowd-control or Purge effects when tackling with Minion of Zul's Bound by Shadow shield; if they come close to you, they will fear you.
• Dodge the Shadow-Borne Champion's Necrotic Energy ground puddle. In addition, make sure you are healthy when he casts Shadow Whirlwind, as it does group-wide damage (use defensives if low HP). Stop attacking if the Vigilant Defense absorb is aiming at you and walk around. If you have Enrage Dispel, use it for their Ancestral Fury.
• Interrupt Risen Hexer's Hex Volley cast. Any spare kicks can be used for their Shadowfrost Bolt.

• Use your defensives during the Serpentine Gust channels happens as it does group-wide AoE damage.
• The The Golden Serpent will cast Spit Gold on 2 random party members; they must stay within proximity and "drop" their debuffs in a considerate area to allow for better ad management during Lucre's Call cast. (it also makes it easier not to step in the follow-up effect - Molten Gold).
• During Lucre's Call, make sure you kill all the Animated Golds and under no circumstances let them come into contact with the boss to avoid the massive Luster shield (and group-wide damage, which will likely be lethal).

• Use your active mitigation during Tail Thrash tank buster.
• Drag the boss away from any nearby Animated Golds.

• During Serpentine Gust is likely best time to use your healing cooldowns.

Upon defeating the The Golden Serpent, you will enter the "challenge" room, where 4 pack of mobs will randomly spawn within seconds upon defeating the previous one. Here is what you can expect from each of them:

• If you get targeted by King Timalji's Bladestorm cast, run away and don't let him get in contact with you. Stay away from the Erupting Slam impact and use your interrupts for Queen Wasi's Bind Soul & Soul Bolt cast.
• Use your defensives when Bloodsworn Assassin applies its stacking Bleed effect on you - Sudden Rupture. More than 1 stack will become quite difficult for your healer to handle.
• Run away from King Rahu'ai's Overload channel and interrupt Seneschal M'bara's Unholy Mending cast.
• Dodge the Skeletal Hunting Raptor's Hunting Leap frontal and move away from any ground ichors spawned by Queen Patlaa's Shadow Volley. If you have Enrage dispel, use it for Bestial Berserk.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And right before you engage the second boss of the dungeon Mchimba the Embalmer, here are the mobs you have to defeat:

• Be cautious for Purification Construct's Purification Strike as it does group-wide damage. Make sure to avoid staying in the molten fire ground puddle - Purifying Flame.
• Dodge the Embalming Fluid's Putrid Seekers ground puddle; it will cast it once it's dead.
• When you get Entomb by Interment Construct, use your active button to showcase your party members in which coffin you are entombed. The faster your team sets you free the less damage you will take from Wail of Mourning channel.
• Interrupt Half-Finished Mummy's Wretched Discharge.

• Use your defensives during Drain Fluids. If you have any self-healing spell, use it to help your healer top you up faster during the follow-up Desiccation effect.
• Stay away from any nearby party members if you get targeted by Burning Ground.
• If you get Entomb, make sure to press your Active Button to show which coffin you are locked in. If you are fast enough, you will prevent the boss from Open Coffin and spawning Finished Mummy which interrupt Wretched Discharge will wipe you.

• Stack the Finished Mummy closer to Mchimba the Embalmer to allow your team to cleave better.

• Focus-heal people that get targeted by Drain Fluids.

• IMPORTANT:Focus the Healing Tide Totem spawned by Spectral Shaman, the quicker you kill it, the less the enemies in the pack will heal!
• Interrupt Phantom Hex Priest's Spectral Bolt. Any spare interrupts & stops should go for Hex (you can alternatively Curse dispel it if it goes through).
• Avoid getting hit by the Royal Berserker's Violent Lunge and use your defensive appropriately if you have multiple Bloodthirsty Axe Bleed stacks.
• Sidestep the Honored Raptor's Hunting Leap frontal.
• Run away from the massive Seismic Upheaval spell casted by Ghostly Brute (you are likely to take lethal damage and die, so RUN!).

• Run away from the Whirling Axes initial spawn and avoid being hit by the patrolling Whirling Axe, they will otherwise leave a nasty Bleed DoT effect.
• If you get Severing Axe cast on you by Kula the Butcher, use your major defensives, as this is the only time you will need them.
• Stack all together when a player gets targeted with Barrel Through.
• When Zanazal the Wise casts Call of the Elements, your top priority is to kill the Explosive Totem before the cast goes through (it will likely result in a wipe if it does). In addition, make sure to interrupt its Poison Nova cast.

• When Aka'ali the Conqueror casts Debilitating Backhand, make sure to run away and not let him melee you until your debuff is gone!
• Kite Zanazal the Wise next to the Explosive Totem to allow your team to effectively cleave both targets. You can do the same for the remaining totems.

• Spot-heal any member of your party that gets the Severing Axe Bleed.
• Be quick at healing people during Zanazal the Wise's Arc Lightning, it does massive damage to your party members.

• Soak the Pool of Darkness spawned by Shadow of Zul and if you get Dark Revelation, make sure you outrange any nearby teammate to avoid causing unnecessary damage.

• Use your defensives during Gilded Destruction as this is the highest damage taken during the entire fight.
• Leave space for each other when King Dazar casts Aerial Smash to avoid unnecessary damage taken.
• Sidestep the Impaling Spear.
• Interrupt Reban's Deathly Roar.
• Sidestep T'zala's Quaking Leap.

• Use your active mitigation during Blade Combo.
• T'zala will also cast Savage Maul, overlapping several tank busters might turn deadly for you, so make sure you use your cooldowns or ask for external.

• Use your major healing cooldowns during Gilded Destruction.
