Varo'then, head of Queen Azshara's personal guard, and Mannoroth, the pit lord whose blood will corrupt the entire orc race, stand as the last line of defense against those hoping to bar Sargeras's entry into Azeroth.

Malfurion Stormrage[]

Utilizing the powers of nature bestowed upon him by the demigod Cenarius, Malfurion Stormrage focuses the will of the living creatures of Azeroth upon the demonic portal hovering over the Well of Eternity. When Mannoroth reaches 25% remaining health, Malfurion casts a spell to cause the portal to violently implode and pull the demonic legions out of Azeroth.

Strategy[]

Phase 1[]

Let Illidan tank Mannoroth.

The players should engage Varo'then. The Magistrike appears as red chain lightning. The chain range appears to be quite large, so spreading out is futile. During Fel Firestorm the players can either run out of fire (like the Argaloth encounter in Baradin Hold) or group up near Illidan to take advantage of his Waters of Eternity aura.

The Doomguard Devastators are of no concern most of the time because Tyrande is 1-shotting them.

Phase 2[]

Two Dreadlord Debilitators come through the portal and incapacitate Tyrande. Players should move into the moon beam that appears on Tyrande for a massive damage buff. Ranged should burn down the Dreadlord Debilitators to rescue Tyrande while the melee mow down the lesser demons.

Phase 3[]

Once the party has defeated Varo'then, his sword drops and becomes clickable. A party member should click it, which throws it at Mannoroth, embedding it in him, causing hits on him to sometimes inflict Magistrike.

Attack Mannoroth. As long as Tyrande is 1-shotting demons DPS don't need to care about them. If demons do start attacking the healer, bring them to the tank so she can AoE and aggro them.

Phase 4[]

Illidan casts Gift of Sargeras, buffing himself and the party, making it quicker to defeat Mannoroth. It is not yet clear if this is triggered by time or by boss health.

Illidan Stormrage says: Brother, a timely arrival...
Malfurion Stormrage yells: Illidan! The well is out of control!
Illidan Stormrage says: Aye. It's been twisted and turned by too many spells. The fuss we - especially you - made with the portal was too much! The same spell that sent the Burning Legion back to their foul realm now works on the well! It's devouring itself and taking its surroundings with it! Fascinating, isn't it?
Malfurion Stormrage says: Not if we're caught up in it! Why weren't you running! What have you been doing with your hand in the Well?
Illidan Stormrage says: If you've a way out of here, we should probably use it! I've tried casting myself and Tyrande out of here, but the well is too much in flux!
Malfurion Stormrage yells: This way!
Malfurion leads Illidan away from the Well.
Tyrande Whisperwind says: I do not know who you are, but I thank you. Without your aid, our world would be... I do not wish to think about it. Moon goddess light your path.
