Karazhan TBC Guide 🧙 DUNGEON DIVES

hi welcome to this episode of dungeon dives where we'll be delving into the spooky haunted wizard castle of karazhan if you're looking for a specific boss check the description or the time code below karazhan is the first raid players will be delving into in the burning crusade it's a 10 player instance and you should bring two tanks two healers and the rest dps there is an attunement process for karazhan and it's a very very long one this video isn't about the attunement quest chain so i'll make it quick outside and then kill some ghosts and then you have rocket traps if that was too fast for you i'm just going to leave a guide in the description of this video instead okay now that your whole raid is attuned we can enter the haunted tower of karazhan karazhan is a raid filled with optional bosses the only ones that you need to kill to get to the last boss are going to be these but of course i will be covering all the optional bosses as well starting with attunement head left and clear out these ghostly horses and focus down their stable hands first because they're going to have a variety of nasty spells you just don't want to deal with clear out all of this trash before facing a tuneman who dares attack the steed of the huntsman at the start of the fight attunement will be on his steed called midnight deal damage to him until he gets to 95 health and he'll get off midnight one tank will hold a tuneman and the other one will hold midnight attunement can be disarmed so if you have a warrior tank you'll want them to tank them your raid will continue focusing dps on midnight players in your raid will be affected by a curse called intangible presence which lowers their chance to hit and should be decursed when midnight gets a 25 health attunement will mount back up on his steed and threat will be wiped so dps be careful here during this phase the main tank should face the boss away from everyone and the rest of the raid will stack on midnight's butt to avoid the charge ability the horse now has hey wow congrats you just killed the easiest boss in the raid always knew someday i would become the haunted you can clear out these ads next to this boss and speak to this blacksmith called cohen if you're honored with the violet eye the rep associated with karazhan you can repair your gear here okay backtrack to the entrance head up the stairs carefully pull and aoe down these phantom gas packs and head to the left to face the next boss rose unannounced to visitors preparations must be made rose is pulled with four separate ads and out of all these four ads there's six possible ads that can be these four ads if that makes any sense so basically every time you fight moroes there's a chance that there will be a different combination of ads you can cc these ads if you're lacking dps or healing but on the tvc beta pretty much every raid group i saw just went hahaha dps go burr and killed them all pretty easily but also at the same time if you're in questing greens it doesn't hurt to be safe you're going to kill moroes last every 30 seconds rose will vanish and corrupt someone which means he's going to put a bleed on them and they'll continually take damage all throughout the fight he also has a gouge in a blind like any other good rogue he'll use gouge on the tank so you'll want an off tank to pick him up when this happens this is a pretty easy fight just make sure your raid is on the same page when it comes to kill priority and cc assignments and this boss should be dead how terribly clumsy of me head back to the ballroom take the door on the left head up the stairs take the door on the right move down the hallway filled with a bunch of concubines like like there's just a bunch of sexy ladies here and the weird thing is this isn't the only tbc ray that just has a room full of sexy ladies the black temple has this too who at blizzard in 2007 was this horny they needed your behavior will not be tolerated your whole raid is gonna need to stand around in a circle around the boss this is because she will cast a holy wrath spell that connects to players and deals more damage to the more players it connects to so just you don't want to be bunched up be careful not to stand too far back because you can break line of sight with your healers she'll cast a holy fire on a random member of the ray that does big damage and needs to be dispelled throughout this whole fight she'll have a consecration-like aoe effect below her and if you stand in it you'll be silenced for one second and continually take damage but this consecration thing is a very important asset to killing her because she will also cast repentance on your raid which will stun everyone in your raid for 12 seconds and breaks when you take damage so players in your raid will need to stand in the aoe damage that hurts them to break them out of the repentant stun so run into the aoe a couple of seconds before the ability is casted now the stupid simple way to do this is just have the tank drag the boss over the people that are stunned to break them out instead just manage repentance well and this boss will be dead [Music] backtrack and take a right out the door and hold right while heading to the next boss you have to face these spectral performers that you'll need to focus down first they have a sleep they deal aoe damage on death and they summon a spotlight that you need to move them out of but if you stand in the spotlight you'll deal increased damage the next boss is the opera event there are three possible bosses you can face here and oh okay sorry sorry sorry welcome ladies and gentlemen to this evening's presentation tonight we explore a tale of forbidden love what devil art thou that doth torment me thus you'll fight julian first she has a heel that needs to be interrupted and you need to dispel the buff on her that increases her damage and casting speed will thou provoke me then have at the boy next you'll fight romulo who is very very similar just face him away from your raid he will apply a stacking poison that needs to be cleansed dispel his damage and attack speed increase and uh yeah it's pretty much like the other boss during phase three you'll fight both of them at the same time and they need to die 10 seconds between each other have your melee focus julian and your range focus romulo here's the unique loop they will drop [Music] tonight we plumb the depths of the human soul as we join a lost lonely girl trying desperately with the help of her loyal companions to find her way home oh dino we simply must find a way home the old wizard could be our only hope strawman roar tin head will you wait oh golly look we have visitors during this play you'll fight four bosses at the same time dorothy will be your first kill priority she could not be tanked and just cast water bolts at random players of your raid she will do an aoe fear and summon her dog named tito make sure you kill dorothy before killing tito because if tito dies before she does she will enrage titu himself will silence enemies roar does an aoe fear but also is susceptible to fear so warlocks can fear him and hunters can use scare beast fun fact despite roar being a beast he still cannot be hibernated straw man has a stun but gets disoriented when taking fire damage so he's a total joke of a boss tin head is the boss you'll want your main tank to have threat on he has a cleave and he will do some pretty chunky damage but as the fight progresses he will start to rust and move very very slowly so your tank can easily kite him once all four bosses are dead you'll fight the crone who summons tornadoes you should not stand in and has a chain lightning spell and she's very very easy here's the unique loot they'll draw tonight things are not what they seem for tonight your eyes may not be trusted lastly it's time for the big bad wolf you'll do an aoe fear every 30 seconds and a stun a random player of your raid is going to be turned into little red riding hood and the wolf will fixate on them run away little girl run away he said it they will need to run around the perimeter of the stage to not get caught while this player is running for their lives you'll want your tank to follow the wolf and continue generating threat here's the unique loot the wolf drops and finally here is all the loot all of these bosses can drop to get to the next boss just head up these ramps kill these ghostly philanthropists first because they will buff the other trash keep moving until you get to the spooky section of the raid here there is a side entrance to the instance so if you wipe you can respawn by running back here instead you can only use this side entrance if you have defeated the opera event the next boss we are going to talk about is knight bane now this is the most difficult fight in the instance that is more difficult than the last boss thankfully he's optional a lot of raid groups will wait till the end of their run to kill him but i'm doing these bosses in order and nobody can stop me so i'm explaining him now in order to summon nightbane a member of your raid is going to need to do a quest chain in order to start this quest chain you're going to need to be honored with the violet eye and instead of going in depth with this i'm just gonna leave another guide in the video description okay so the actual boss fight nightbane has two phases a ground phase and a flight phase first let's talk about the ground face knight bane is like any other dragon don't stand in front of him don't stand behind him he will cast an aoe fear that can be out ranged and he will also apply a dot that reduces chance the hit that needs to be dispelled the important ability for this phase is charred earth he will select a random player of the raid and put a giant aoe circle of death that they need to get out of have your ranged in your raid stuck up on top of each other right here when charred earth is casted just sidestep over here same thing for your melee group at 75 50 and 25 health knight bane will transition into his air phase which is easily the hardest part of this fight everyone in your raid is going to stack together he will then cast an ability called reign of bones which does aoe damage so you want to spread back out reign of bones is going to summon restless skeletons the catch about these mobs is they can only take damage from physical and holy attacks that combined with a seriously high amount of damage they're going to be pumping out and the immolation aura they have makes this the biggest challenge of this fight seriously if you have a raid comp that is heavy on caster dps a good chunk of your raid will be utterly useless when dealing with these skeletons that being said if you are a pro elite hardcore certified gamer you should have stratholme holy water in your bags to deal damage to them during this phase someone in your raid will be targeted by smoking blast and they'll continually take damage for 15 seconds this is typically casted on a healer finally make sure members of your raid don't run too far away from the rest of the group or they'll be pelted by fireballs that is the flight phase and when nightbane lands again you're going to need to give your tank a moment to establish threat again so hold on from dpsing him for a bit nightbane is one of those fights where i'd probably suggest having three healers instead of two because there's just so much damage that goes out during that flight phase and it's a really long fight but if you have a good raid comp this dragon should be defeated keep moving up the twisted tower of karazhan and you'll face these arcane watchmen they're going to cast an arcane explosion-like effect on a random player of your raid and they need to run away from everyone clear up the groups of trash here in this hallway and make some space to fight curator the menagerie is for guests only curator is the dps check of karazhan throughout the fight he's going to summon astral flares these are ads that will rapidly cast a chain lightning-like spell and they need to be focused down as fast as possible if your raid can't keep up with these you're gonna be overwhelmed curator will also cast hateful bolt which deals damage to the player with the second highest threat aka your off tank lastly when curator runs out of mana he will go into his evocation phase where he'll be stunned and his damage taken is increased by 200 percent this is the part where you want to pop bloodlust and go as hard as possible this is a pretty easy fight as long as your raid has the dps curator is no longer operation keep moving and you'll enter the mc escher type part of the raid where wait hold on okay there we go now you'll have to fight a bunch of trash these mana feeders here they're going to be really annoying because they can only take damage from physical attacks these mana warps up here are going to explode on death and are also as equally as annoying you can stun them to stop them from exploding or you can line up sight their explosion to get to the next boss we need to open up the secret book case the fight testicle ilhoof i mean terrastain ilhoof ah you're just in time the rituals are about to begin he's gonna have a big imp ad next to him called kill wreck that you'll want to kill first because he has damage taken increasing spells that he will put on players also when killrick dies ilhoof is going to be taking more damage speaking of imps ilhoof will summon two portals that will constantly spew out imps throughout the fight just have an off tank try and pick these up as best as they can these imps are more of a nuisance than anything the main ability of this fight as a random player will get sacrificed in the middle of the room and your raid will need to deal damage to the chains to break them out really really simple fight uh and yeah that's it my life is yours oh great one [Music] continue forward and you'll fight shade of iran please no more my son he's gone mad jade of iran cannot be tanked iran is a mage so he has a bunch of mage spells that can be interrupted and he will also use these on random targets he also has a chains of ice spell that should be dispelled off of players range dps in your raid should not get close to him because he has an aoe counter spell that affects players in a small radius around him he will also cast a blizzard that will do aoe damage and slowly rotate around the edge of the room next he has a magnetic pull where he pulls everyone in the raid towards his location and then he'll start casting an arcane explosion and everyone in your raid just needs to run away to the edges of the room the most important spell you should not mess up is flame wreath players of your raid are going to have a flaming circle surround them and if they move the raid is going to blow up so repeat after me [Music] at 40 health he'll summon four water elementals that need to be killed or banished lastly if a ring gets a 20 mana he'll do the coolest ability in this whole raid he's gonna polymorph everyone drink some water and then pyroblast everyone for 7000 damage it's highly unlikely you will ever see this ability in 2021 because hopefully the boss will be dead by this point and uh if he isn't you suck at last the nightmare is over once you kill the shade you can teleport to this room by talking to the ghost guy at the entrance of the raid when venturing to the next boss you'll face these ethereals that you'll want to pull one at a time when you get to this section you can take the ramp up to fight netherspite or go down to fight the chess event typically people save netherspite for after they kill the last boss but i'm going to talk about them now another spite has two phases one is called the portal phase and the other is called the banish phase first let's talk about the portal phase when fighting netherspite three portals will spawn around the room these portals will shoot laser beams at another spite and if they hit him they will buff him in order to stop this players will need to stand in front of the laser beam while standing in a laser beam players will gain some positive but also negative effects that will increase the longer they stand in the laser let's break this down one laser at a time the red laser beam will reduce the amount of damage nether spike takes by one percent for each second it hits him if a player stands in the laser beam they will have these effects this laser is for the tanks in your raid the most effective way i've seen this laser tackled is you have a tank stand in the laser for five seconds stand back out for five seconds and then just dance in and out let's talk about the blue laser beam this increases netherspite's spell damage if it hits him but if a player stands in it they will have these positive and negative effects this beam is going to be soaked by casters have a player stand in it for around 20 seconds or so then move out and have another player take their place another method you can do is have a warlock sit in the beam for the full duration and just spam drain life it's kind of scary but it is possible lastly let's talk about the green laser if it touches another spike he's going to rapidly heal himself if it touches a player they're going to have these positive and negative effects you can either have healers stand in this beam or non-mana resource users like warriors or rogues once the effects of the beams wear off on players they're going to get a debuff called nether exhaustion this is going to stop them from being able to stand in the color beam they just stood in for a minute and a half other abilities netherspite has during this phase as everyone will continually take small amounts of damage all throughout the fight and he'll also spawn void zones on the ground don't stand on them and he also breathes fire during phase 2 of another spite you can decide on either avoiding the damage or making the fight go by faster never spite is going to go into a banished state and he'll be rooted where he is standing the only spell he will cast is nether breath that deals damage and knocks players back in a cone in front of him from what i saw in the beta this can be kind of unpredictable and awkward so if you want you can play it safe and also just run over to the telescope stand around for all of phase two and wait for him to transition back into phase one since the beam touchers in the first phase might have the debuff on them you'll need to assign new players to touch the beams as long as you organize your raid well and everyone understands the effects of the beams this fight should be pretty easy okay okay okay look i could give you a detailed guide on the chess event but that would be like giving you an analytical in-depth guide on a mario party minigame okay look just kill the king uh medieval cheat and spawn fire on the board and stuff but seriously man it's just really really easy and it's just a good bit of fun when heading to the last boss you'll face these flesh beasts that can do pretty chunky damage and you want to pull them carefully into the chest room and with every other boss dead it's time to face the master of karazhan madness has brought you here to me i shall be your undoing [Music] prince malchazar is a cool fight that can be cheesed beyond oblivion during phase one he's going to summon these infernals they will spawn all over the platform and cast hellfire but what you're gonna do is hold prince right here and have your ranged stay right here the two places where these infernals do not spawn so you can ignore this mechanic entirely next you will cast shadow nova which is a spell that takes two seconds to cast and once it's casted it will knock players back in melee range tanks face your back against the wall and melee dps can line of sight the ability right here next you'll cast in feeble that affects five players and it will reduce their health to one hit point for seven seconds it's very scary but as long as you don't get hit by anything it won't affect you at all finally he will cast shadow word pain on targets that needs to be dispelled during phase two it's pretty much like phase one but he doesn't use shadow word pain but he's gonna deal a bunch of damage to your tank so healers need to spam their heels during phase three his tank damage will not be as strong and he will summon floating axes that hit random members of your raid and cannot be targeted you kind of just have to deal with axes hitting your face he will cast amplify magic on a random member of the raid that's just going to increase the amount of damage they take and and yeah that's pretty much the fight like i said and she's pretty hard so hey congrats i refuse to concede defeat i am a prince of the eredar i am dead thanks for joining me if you take all this information you will be well on your way to clearing karazhan in no time do me a favor and if you found this guide helpful at all link it to your guild mates so they can get educated and with the power of teamwork you can defeat the bosses in karazhan for real now excuse me i have a ballroom party to attend [Music] you
