Kil'Jaeden Tomb of Sargeras Strategy Guide

On Mythic diffficulty, it awards 基尔加丹（史诗难度）, which grants the title .

It also grants the Feat of Strength 千钧一发：基尔加丹 if obtained before the next tier of raiding comes out.

Encounter Overview

Phase One players will fight Kil'jaeden directly whilst soaking meteors that rain down onto the encounter area.

Intermission One will begin once Kil'jaeden reaches 80% health. Kil'jaeden will become almost immune to damage and barrage players with a variety of spells for a minute.

Phase Two players will deal with a mixture of abilities from Phase One and intermission One, alongside a few other position based mechanics.

Intermission Two will begin once Kil'jaeden reaches 40% health. Kil'jaeden will leave the encounter area and coat it with a Fog of War. Players must find Illidan within the fog to gain his sight to remove the adds that are hiding within it.

Phase Three begins once all adds have died. Kil'jaeden will once again return to the platform and have a brand new ability set which tests players ability to use Rifts that spawn around the encounter area to avoid lethal mechanics.

The entire encounter takes place on a platform. Falling off the edge will instantly kill you.

Phase One: The Betrayer邪爪

Kil'jaeden empowers himself for 11.5 seconds, causing each one of his melee attacks to increase all physical damage taken by the target by 20% for 20 seconds.

Tanks need to taunt off one after the buff has ended, to ensure that the stacking damage increase doesn't go above 5 stacks.

Additionally, whilst Kil'jaeden has 邪爪 active, he will cause all his melee attacks to deal damage to all players in a cone in front of himself.

Tanks need to ensure that Kil'jaeden is faced away from the raid whilst 邪爪 is active, as even a single swipe can be enough to kill a player.

断裂奇点

All players must stand close to the landing zone of the orb to ensure that they are not knocked off the platform.

If the orb spawns in the middle of the room, players need to ensure that they are knocked into the corners of the platform, as otherwise the knockback will push them off.

Whilst positioning for the orb in the middle of the room, the Tanks should place Kil'jaeden directly inside the Orb, to allow melee DPS to hit him whilst standing in a safe position.

Although players need to make sure they are close to the orb, they must not get too close, as they may get hit by the lethal damage aspect of the ability.

The orb can spawn in 5 set locations around the square encounter area. In each of the four corners and directly in the centre of the room.


断裂奇点 has 5 potential spawn locations. In each corner of the encounter room and directly in the middle.	When 断裂奇点 spawns in the center of the encounter area it is vital players are knocked towards the corners. Any players stood elsewhere will be knocked off the platform and fall to their death. Players in the highlighted red areas will fall to their death.

末日决战末日之雨末日之雹

When any of these meteors hit the platform they will trigger an 末日冲击, which deals high burst damage to the raid and places a hard hitting 30 second dot on all players.

Players must stand underneath the meteor landing locations as this will soak it, preventing an 末日冲击.

末日之雨s (small circles) must be soaked by the raid. 末日冲击 (larger single circle) must be either soaked by a tank or a player using an immunity.

末日之雨

This will deal a moderate burst of fire damage to them and apply a 60 second dot.

末日决战 is cast more frequently than every 60 seconds, so players should avoid soaking multiple 末日决战s in a row as otherwise the dot will stack and refresh its duration.

This should usually be done "on the fly" however the raid leader my want to assign two different groups to take turns soaking the 末日之雨 patches.

末日之雹

This is because it deals an exceptional amount of physical damage upon landing and leaves a hard-hitting physical damage dot for 10 seconds.

The tank with the lowest 邪爪 stack should take this hit, whilst using a large damage reduction.

This ability can be soaked and survived by other non-tank players if they use large damage reductions or immunities.

Intermission One: Eternal Flame

Players must focus on dealing with the new incoming abilities, as damaging the boss during this time is pointless.

Kil'jaeden will still cast 末日决战. This ability functions identically to the Phase One version, and must be dealt with in the exact same way.

聚焦恐惧烈焰爆裂恐惧烈焰聚焦恐惧烈焰

This beam deals high damage that is split between all players hit by the beam.

Players should stack up between Kil'jaeden and the Target to spread the damage as evenly as possible.

The marked target can solo the ability with immunities or large damage reductions. If they wish to do this they must communicate with the raid to ensure that they take the beam alone.


When a player is marked with 聚焦恐惧烈焰, shown as an arrow above their head, players must move between the player and Kil'jaeden in a line.	The more players between, the safer the damage will be shared among the raid.

爆裂恐惧烈焰

After a short delay these players will take a burst of fire damage which will splash onto anyone within 15 yards.

Players targeted by the 爆裂恐惧烈焰 must move away from the group, preferably around the edges of the room, to minimise the chance of splashing damage onto the raid.

爆裂恐惧烈焰 can occur during an 末日决战. The targeted players should avoid soaking an 末日决战 meteor and 爆裂恐惧烈焰 in quick succession, as the damage may be too overwhelming for healers.

Players highlighted in green have moved away from the raid with their 爆裂恐惧烈焰. Players in red need to avoid the targeting circles to avoid taking any damage from the green players.

Phase Two: Reflected Souls

The abilities are still countered in the same manner as the previous phases, apart from the 聚焦恐惧烈焰.

Players targeted by this should stand at a set location, to allow the raid to quickly group up and help split the damage.

暗影映像：爆发

This is an 8 second debuff placed on three players. After the debuff expires a Shadow Reflection add will spawn.

This add does not need to be tanked, as it will just stand still and chain cast 爆发恐惧烈焰, a long cast which deals raid wide damage.

Each cast of 爆发恐惧烈焰 will deal a larger amount of damage than the last.

暗影映像：爆发爆发恐惧烈焰Intermission Two


The platform becomes engulfed in darkness. Illidan and 暗影之魂 adds lurk within.	Players that find Illidan gain Sightless Gaze. Allowing them to see the 暗影之魂 adds within the darkness.	Once all 暗影之魂 adds have been killed, phase 3 will begin.

暗影之魂欺诈者的遮蔽

This prevents players from being able to target anything further than 8 yards away.

Additionally, AoE spells and heals will all miss on targets further than 8 yards away.

窒息之影

Several 暗影之魂 enemies will be hidden by the shadows. During this time they will be unkillable and will deal pulsing raid wide damage with their 不稳定的暗影之魂 ability.

Players will not be able to attack the 暗影之魂 enemies until they find Illidan in the darkness.

Players need to spread out across the platform to find Illidan.

Illidan is usually found around the edges of the encounter area, rather than in the middle.

Illidan can be tracked by hunters and feral druids by using the Track Humanoids ability. This will cause him to appear on the minimap.

Once a group has found Illidan, the entire raid should move next to him to gain the Illidan's Sightless Gaze debuff.

To help communicate where Illidan is, players can ping his location on the minimap

Healers should assign healing cooldowns as the raid groups up to quickly heal players back up.

The raid must then use Sightless Gaze debuff to kill off all 暗影之魂 enemies and allow the group to enter Phase Three.

The 暗影之魂 adds can be stunned and also gripped. Gripping the adds that are far away from the group can help the raid enter Phase Three faster.

Phase Three: 千魂之暗


Players close enough to the rifts will gain 引力榨取. This effect is mandatory to survive the 千魂之暗 cast.	恶魔方尖碑s will deal large damage to any players hit and also knock them back, potentially entirely off the platform. Players circled in red are likely to be dead.

千魂之暗爆裂恐惧烈焰聚焦恐惧烈焰邪爪千魂之暗

This ability will be cast as soon as Kil'jaeden enters Phase Three. The raid should stack up behind him and use damage reduction cooldowns to survive the hit.

Healers will need to keep the raid topped up throughout Phase Three as the dot debuff can not be removed in any way.

Subsequent casts of 千魂之暗 need to be avoided by standing next to a rift.

撕裂裂隙千魂之暗引力榨取

引力榨取 deals ever increasing shadow damage to the player every second.

Whilst under the effects of 引力榨取 players will not be able to be hit by the bolts from the 千魂之暗.
All players must move next to the rift just as Kil'jaeden finishes casting 千魂之暗.

Whilst 千魂之暗 is not being cast, players will want to move away from the rift to avoid unnecessary damage from the 引力榨取.

恶魔方尖碑

Kil'jaeden creates three 恶魔方尖碑s positioned around the platform which will detonate in a cross of energy which spans the entire platform after 10 seconds.

Players hit by the energy will take a burst of damage and be knocked back.

Everyone needs to keep an eye on the Obelisks and the ground to ensure that they are not hit by the energy, as the knockback may be enough to hit you off the platform.

The beams of energy from the Obelisks are suprisingly large, so players should exaggerate their movement to ensure they will not be hit by any of the pillars.

Players will need to continue to move into safe spots in the encounter room, by making a note of where the beams will be when the Obelisks detonate
