Strategy Guide: Full Guide

  • This encounter features 3 bosses Urctos, Aerwynn and Pip. Each boss has their own health bar, and when they reach 1 HP, they will begin casting Rebirth Icon Rebirth, this will heal the boss back to 50% if the others are not defeated in this timeframe. Ensure you have an even spread of DPS across all 3 bosses.
  • Urctos can be moved freely by the tanks.
  • Aerwynn will leap around the room periodically.
  • Pip will stay near the middle of the room for the entire encounter.
  • Tanks should aim to keep Urctos on top of Aerwynn to allow melee DPS to cleave on both bosses, and Ranged DPS need to be ready to swap to Pip whilst keeping DoTs on it.
1.4.

Heroic Changes:

  • Agonizing Claws Icon Agonizing Claws is now a frontal cone attack. The active tank needs to ensure they are not facing melee DPS and the other tank should not stand near the current tank.
  • Barreling Charge Icon Barreling Charge now applies a vulnerability debuff, meaning that you cannot take 2 in a row. Tanks can soak every single charge with no issues, however the melee DPS need to be split in two groups.
1.4.1.

Urctos:

  • 100 Energy Ability Blind Rage Icon Blind Rage: Urctos will deal increasing amounts of raid-wide damage and becomes vulnerable to "duck magic".
  • What this means is that you need to turn Urctos into a duck with Preen Icon Preen or letting the effect time out on the boss to Polymorph him and interrupt the cast.
Video example of Blind Rage Icon Blind Rage
  • Tanks: Swap after each Agonizing Claws Icon Agonizing Claws cast.
  • Barreling Charge Icon Barreling Charge deals raid wide damage based on the amount of players who were hit by the charge.
  • All melee DPS and both Tanks should stand in the charge to lower the amount of raid damage taken.
1.4.2.

Aerwynn:

  • 100 Energy Ability Constricting Thicket Icon Constricting Thicket: This ability will slow the entire raid and deal increasing amounts of damage and slow speed reduction. The only way to stop this ability is to have Urctos use Barreling Charge Icon Barreling Charge on Aerwynn. If Barreling Charge Icon Barreling Charge fails to hit Aerwynn, it will be cast again for a second attempt. If this one fails, the raid is likely dead.
Video example of Constricting Thicket Icon Constricting Thicket
  • Aerwynn will leap around the room at set timings, which can vary from 20 seconds to over a minute.
  • Testing note: The locations Aerwynn would leap to were consistent on every pull. If this is the case when the raid releases a map will be inserted here instead of this note.
  • Throughout the fight Noxious Blossom Icon Noxious Blossom pools will spawn. These can be removed by ducks running into them, however you will need to keep at least one of these in the room for Song of the Dragon Icon Song of the Dragon.
  • Poisonous Javelin Icon Poisonous Javelin's will target multiple players, and they will need to run away and be dispelled with a Poison dispel.
1.4.3.

Pip:

  • 100 Energy Ability Song of the Dragon Icon Song of the Dragon: This applies an absorb shield to all players which can only be reduced by taking damage from Noxious Blossom Icon Noxious Blossom. Run into a pool to remove the absorb shield. Failing to remove the shield will cause you to be stuck dancing for 15 seconds and take a large amount of damage every second!
  • Polymorph Bomb Icon Polymorph Bomb will target up to 4 players and turn them into ducks!
  • Players who are ducks can run over Noxious Blossom Icon Noxious Blossom's and consume them. Once you have consumed three, you can cast Preen Icon Preen, which will remove the Polymorph effect and on enemies within 7 yards.
  • Emerald Winds Icon Emerald Winds will push players away from the middle of the room for 3 seconds. Be careful not to get pushed into pools.
1.5.

Heroic Changes:

  • Polymorph Bomb Icon Polymorph Bomb expiring from either timing out or casting Preen Icon Preen will now turn allies within 7 yards into ducks!

Mythic Strategy

Currently, this tab will only contain information on what changes on Mythic. A more robust strategy will be added after the raid goes live.

1.6.

Mythic Changes:

  • Two bosses will reach 100 energy at the same time. There are 3 sets of combinations, and they occur in the following order:
  • Urctos Enrage & Aerwynn Cast. For this combination, you want to spread one of the ducks so that you have one ready to instantly break Urctos' ability and then charge him into Aerwynn.
  • Pip Shield & Aerwynn Cast. For this combination, run into a puddle to break the shield and charge Urctos into Aerwynn.
  • Pip Shield & Urctos Enrage. For this combination, run into a puddle to break the shield and break Urctos' ability. This is followed by a Charge.
  • Emerald Winds Icon Emerald Winds now creates tornadoes around the edge of the arena. Getting pushed into one will knock you into the air.
