Mists of Tirna Scithe Dungeon Guide: Location, Boss Strategies, and Trash

Mists of Tirna Scithe is a max-level dungeon located on the West side of Ardenweald, Shadowlands. The dungeon provides a unique group experience, similar to a puzzle with several entries, in which the group must recognize the right one; failing to do that will teleport you at the start of the dungeon.

This guide will be an extensive overview of the dungeon, providing vital information on how to complete it across all difficulties. We will cover all 3 Boss fights, as well as 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 The War Within Season 1, please see our overviews linked below. Otherwise, without further ado, let us begin!

Just like the majority of the dungeons in The War Within, Mists of Tirna Scithe also has its unique class & profession-specific bonus available to you right at the start of the dungeon. Simply interact with the Strage Roots or Anima Seeds and you will be granted easier passage through the dungeon, party-wide buffs, and, at last, unique death checkpoints. Here is all you have to know:

• You need either Herbalism at 25 TWW Skills, being a Druid, Night Elf, Tauren, or Highmountain Tauren.
• There are 2 Strage Roots in this dungeon, one available right at the start of the dungeon, allowing you to skip one of the hardest dungeon packs and the second one is located just before the first boss of the dungeon - Ingra Maloch.
• The second room of the Strage Roots will allow be filled with Tasty Toughshroom (Purple) and Savory Statshroom (Green), both giving you different stats for a short period of time (10 min). Keep in mind that upon death, they will disappear.

• In addition, there will be 2 options for you to trigger a death checkpoint in the dungeon. One is available just right after you defeat Ingra Maloch, one way to the Maze and the last one when you jump down the platform upon defeating Mistcaller.

• Use defensive if you get several stacks of the Bloodletting coming from Drust Spiteclaw. In addition, upon death, they will curse all enemies (including non-boss enemies) within 6 yards with Dying Breath.
• IMPORTANT: Stop at all costs the Drust Harvester's Harvest Essence. In addition, any spare kicks are to be used for their Spirit Bolt.
• Dodge the Tirnenn Villager's Bewildering Pollen frontal ability. In addition, use defensive if you get targeted by the Overgrowth; once the channel is done, you will be stunned for 6 sec. You can use out-of-combat abilities to cancel the effect like Night Elf , Vanish, Feign Death, etc.
• Assist your tank with crowd-control abilities when Drust Soulcleaver has Hand of Thros buff active, otherwise they will heal themselves.
• Avoid stepping in the Drust Boughbreaker's Bramble Burst and use personal defensive when they cast Furious Thrashing (once they reach 50% HP, they begin the cast).

This fight consists of 2 Phases, each of them rotating based on the bosses HP. During Phase 1, you will have to focus Droman Oulfarran while simultaneously cleaving Ingra Maloch. After a certain point, Ingra Maloch will shield itself with Embrace Darkness, making it impossible to continue Phase 1 due to its soft-enrage. Hence why, your goal in that phase is to push Droman Oulfarran to 20% to enable its Droman's Wrath, allowing you to do extra damage and to Ingra Maloch and remove its Embrace Darkness buff, thus beginning Phase 2. It all repeats itself once the duration of the buff expires. More info down below:

• Interrupt Ingra Maloch's Spirit Bolt.
• Avoid Droman Oulfarran's Bewildering Pollen frontal and its Tears of the Forest ground visuals.
• Position yourself well when Repulsive Visage is cast, so when you get feared you don't end up in Tears of the Forest ground effects. Alternatively, fear-immunity spells work ( Tremor Totem as an example).

• Make sure to always have Ingra Maloch and Droman Oulfarran stacked together to enable your team to efficiently cleave.
• Move both bosses away from any nearby Tears of the Forest ground effects.

• Use your major healing cooldowns when Embrace Darkness buff appears. The longer it stays active, the more damage your team will suffer.

• Don't stay inside the Mistveil Defender's Mist Ward ground effect and use a defensive if they cast Expel on you.
• Always prioritize Mistveil Guardian since they have the highest HP and carry a Protector of the Mists aura which Empowered nearby enemies. They will also cast Anima Slash on your tank.
• Interrupt Mistveil Shaper's Bramblethorn Coat cast. Alternatively, you can dispel it before the absorption is consumed.
• IMPORTANT: Interrupt Mistveil Tender's Nourish the Forest cast as it will heal all nearby enemies.
• Use defensive if Mistveil Stalker casts Mistveil Bite on you, dealing high initial damage and leaving a Bleed effect.
• Your Healer must focus on dispelling Mistveil Stinger's Anima Injection before it triggers its effect and becomes lethal for you.

In the maze, you will often meet one of the "mini-bosses" in a random order. You may meet more than 1. Here is what they do:

• Sidestep Mistveil Matriarch's Radiant Breath frontal. In addition, your Tank must pay extra attention to swiftly moving the mob away from Pool of Radiance to prevent it from healing. They also have a stackable Shred Armor debuff, which can one-shot your tank on high stacks.
• Sidestep the incoming Poisonous Discharge ground swirlies from Mistveil Nightblossom. Your Tank must use its active mitigation when the mob hits him with Triple Bite ability, dealing high damage and leaving a lingering Poison debuff.
• Sidestep the Mistveil Gorgegullet's Crushing Leap cast. In addition, avoid the Tongue Lashing lethal frontal.

Use the following instructions to navigate the mist maze.

1. Stand beside each misty stone and remember the symbol it shows (there are 4 stones in each area).
2. Figure out which symbol is different than the others.
3. Attempt to walk through the mist covering the different stone pathways (getting it wrong just puts everyone back at the beginning).

The Mistcaller boss fight is focused on Guessing Game mini-phases, which happen at 70%, 40% and 10% of bosses's HP. Inside the intermissions, you must recognize the correct pattern of Illusionary Clones and kill the one that is different from the other. The longer the intermissions prevail, the more damage your party will take from Penalizing Burst. The maze prior must have prepared you well; use your skills to solve it quickly.

• Sidestep the incoming Dodge Ball.
• Use crowd-control abilities to stop the Freeze Tag.

• Interrupt Patty Cake at all times.

• Use your major healing cooldowns inside the intermission when the Penalizing Burst casts become hard to heal.

• IMPORTANT: Interrupt Spinemaw Staghorn's Stimulate Resistance and Stimulate Regeneration at all costs. Use defensive when it casts Acid Nova.
• Be mindful of the Spinemaw Acidgullet's Volatile Acid debuff, this can become deadly if its combined with Acid Nova cast.
• Sidestep the Spinemaw Gorger's Acid Globule ground visuals.
• Your Healer must pay attention to the Spinemaw Reaver's Debilitating Poison effect and dispel it swiftly.

• Dodge the incoming Acid Expulsion ground visuals.
• When you get Marked Prey cast on you, do your best to get closer to the boss with all 4 Gormling Larvas to allow your team efficient cleaving. Here is a good place to use your crowd-control abilities.
• Run away at all costs from the Coalescing Poison pull-in effect.
• Pre-spread efficiently to break off Mind Link quicker.
• Use personal defensives during Consumption channel to mitigate some of the damage from Anima Rejection. To interrupt the channel, break off the Gorging Shield and avoid all Anima Shedding ground visuals!

• Be mindful of the boss position at all times to help your party have better uptime on it.

• Use your major healing cooldowns during each Consumption channel, the longer it takes to break the Gorging Shield, the longer your group will take damage from Anima Rejection.
