Hammer of Vigilance is a rare drop in her loot list, as a possible item to unlock for transmog. In the same way Garrosh and Xavius have their shoulders as rare drops. The item has variants for all 4 raid difficulties in the database.

She wields the same model in combat. It's always a nice touch when Blizzard makes a little of a boss' unique look available to players.

You need to make good use of the balls and shaft to be successful in this encounter.

Comment by DKong27

If you jump into the shaft and the fight ends, you will fall to your death.

Comment by Eonarion

She wields "Hold magic"? How does that work?

Comment by GraysonCarlyle

Orbs are straight up broken on LFR: Once you get 3 stacks of Creator's Grace or Demon's Vigor, touching any orb will give you Unstable Soul. This isn't mentioned at all in the dungeon journal, it even implies you can get it up to 10 like normal/heroic.

Comment by dle0105

Can be soloed on LFR (as a dwarf at least) quite easily without resetting or taking ANY fall damage from the bombs. The key is to tank the boss while standing "under" one of the bowl looking things with orbs hovering over them. They adorn the outer edge of the room.

There is an invisible barrier, so it really doesn't look as if you are actually standing under it. To test if you are in the right spot, just jump, and if your character does the jump animation without actually jumping, you're good to go.

I am unsure if taller races will be able to stand under them.

Comment by Brit

Anyone attempting to solo this as a priest the only way I was able to do it was as shadow. Silence will interrupt her cast.

Comment by Nekrotik

Easy solo for my level 50 DH on LFR and normal but I hit a wall on heroic. I have no problem getting her all the way down with my hp full, but the instant she hits 0%, I insta-die and she resets. I did some searching but found nothing specific to this problem. What am I missing?

In order to unlock this room you have to click on the pillars of creation after you defeat the bosses. In case you missed one:

Tidestone of Golganneth is looted after killing Mistress Sassz'ine
Tears of Elune is looted after killing the The Desolate Host
Hammer of Khaz'goroth is looted after killing Demonic Inquisition (Atrigan)

Can be solo'ed .. . just did as ret. Paladin @ 235 on Mythic.

I died a few times instantaneously being wiped at the end of her Wrath of the Creators channeling.

Key previous comments: " ... taking ANY fall damage from the bombs. The key is to tank the boss while standing "under" one of the bowl looking things with orbs hovering over them." from dle0105.
AND... "...it seems to turn green in the same moment it goes off. " by Amashelle.

Steps:
> Clear the room
> Engage
> bring health down
> she throws you on the other side of the room
> FIND your way under one of lit up bowls just under the protruded portion to get cover from the bombs (I stayed there about 10 seconds), after she started casting Wrath of the Creators
> I bubbled (Divine Shield) ran to her as fats as possible (used Divine Steed as well).
> started DOING DAMAGE while she is casting Wrath of the Creators in order do reduce the amount of Absorb she has to nothing (that gray'ish / blue'ish bar at the end of the life bar).
*** This is key: IF that absorb / Shield is not reduced to nothing by doing the damage then after about 50 seconds to a minute Wrath of the Creators WILL NOT turn Green / will be uninterruptable ! and instantly wipe anything in the room.
> after doing damage to eliminate the Absorb @ exactly 35 seconds (probably more or less depending on iLVL)... so 35 secsonds from when she started casting Wrath of the Creators initially, the Cast bar turned from Gray to GREEN !
*** THAT is very quick - probably under 3 seconds the bar stays green.
> I was able to interrupt it with Rebuke ! (though I think any class will be able to do so with corresponding spell)...
> at this point just continue with DPS until she is taken down to ... zero
> and I just got the drop for Hammer of Vigilance - I think that may be a bit rare, not sure though...

Comment by Malachi68

I usually get all nervous during this encounter because of the need to interrupt Wrath of the Creators before one gets insta-killed. However, this time I just opened up the encounter with Nether Portal (I'm a Demolock) and brought in all my demons. The battle was over in less than five seconds. No second or third stage.

Conclusion: anyone with above average DPS can finish this fight very quickly without worrying about blowback or Extinguish Life.

Charged by Aegwynn to defend the Tomb of Sargeras, the Maiden of Vigilance has stood watch for hundreds of years. Yet, the guardian did not foresee what effect the avatar’s seeping fel energy would have on this titan construct. Slowly warped by this maleficence, the maiden now seeks to destroy any in her path.
