After the battle, the Jailer lies on the ground, the shattered remnants of his hammer beside him. He stares up as a vision of Sire Denathrius appears above him, cradling his body.
Jailer: "Brother... is it... over?"
*Denathrius places a clawed hand upon his brother's gauntlet*
D: "At long last. No jailer rules forever, Zovaal."
J: "I see... only... dragons... before me..."
The Jailer's eyes roll back, his hand falling on to the ground. Denathrius closes Zovaal's eyes as the purified Anduin walks towards them.
D: "Without its master's command, the restless Mawsworn will become an even greater threat to this world."
The Sire stands, looking at Anduin as the paladin meets his gaze.
D: "Control must be maintained... there must always be (A flash of lightning lights up the sky around the Crucible) a Jailer..."
Sire Denathrius' vision fades away into red anima. Anduin picks up the Chains of Domination.
A: "The weight of such a burden... it must be mine, for there is no other to
"ANDUIN!"
The withered caricature of Sylvanas Windrunner is revealed, standing over a portal to the Maw. Anduin is horrified to see his undead waifu again.
A: "Sylvanas... by all that is holy..."
S: "The return of my soul sealed my fate... the world of the living can no longer comfort me.
Anduin ascends the stairs leading to the portal.
S: "Place the Chains of Domination upon my body, Anduin. Forevermore, I will be the Jailer of the Mawsworn."
With a shake of his head, Anduin turns away.
A: "No, my old enemy, I cannot..."
S: "DO IT, ANDUIN! You and these brave heroes have your own destinies to fufuill. This last act of sacrifice... is mine."
Anduin closes his eyes in a moment of pained resignation and turns back to Sylvanas. The two leaders look at each other for a moment before Anduin replies, sadness in this voice.
A: "You will not be forgotten..."
S: "I MUST be forgotten, Anduin! If the world is to live free from the tyranny of fear, they must never know what was done here today."
Anduin nods solemly. Slyvanas bows her head to accept the unimaginably powerful artifact, the chains curling around her body. For a moment, the chamber shakes violently. Sylvanas raises her head and when she opens her eyes, there is a flash of light, a pale baleful blue glows from her elven eyes. The new Jailer has been crowned.
S: "Tell them only... that the Jailer is dead..."
Sylvanas' body becomes encased in the grey spikes of Mawsworn armor, a grey helmet covering her head.
S: "And that Sylvanas Windrunner... died with him..."
The portal expands as Sylvanas steps through, Anduin looking up at her.
S: "NOW GO. LEAVE THIS PLACE... AND NEVER RETURN..."

Anyone have a good Dragonflight+ strategy for mythic jailer?
Edit: nevermind, we had enough dps to just rush him, just be careful of the huge aoe that emanates from every player and shoots off dangerous azerite orbs when p2 starts, it can still kill you.

Managed to solo this today on Mythic as a 582 Sunfury Arcane Mage using the hilariously scaled touch of the magi / magi's spark.

Do your opener as well as you can, maximising touch of the magi, use Shifting power ASAP, use mirror images to distract the boss (I think this sometimes stopped me from getting mind controlled but I'm not sure), then once touch of the magi is back off cooldown, use it again and the boss should die straight away, didn't see his healing phase at all.

Not a soloable fight on hunter as it will always reset at 50%

Comment by hascat

I was able to avoid the mind control part of Relentless Domination by hiding behind one of the pillars. It seems that he can't mind control you unless he has line of sight.

Comment by NokoFace

Mythic Jailer solo'able as a 615 windwalker monk. Save cooldowns + drums for the moment you avoid the mind control going into phase 2 because if he gets his Rune of Compulsion off in phase 2 it's over.

Comment by MerokoGaming

I've added a guide on how to solo this raid on Mythic as of 11.0.2 The War Within. Recommended iLVL is 610 with a class that has decent self healing capabilities. It is up now on my youtube channel MerokoGaming and will be up in the videos section shortly here on the site. Happy Mount Farming!

If you're trying to solo him, a few key points:

The knock-up ability Rune of Damnation, needs to be used properly to bring the pillars up so you can LoS the mind-control ability, Relentless Domination. Basically you look at your debuff with the Rune and when it's ~1s from expiring, jump into one of the honeycomb-hole-things on the ground and it will bring the pillar up.

BE CAREFUL when you do this as it still does knock you up and over, so you can still fall into a nearby hole/off the side/in the middle.

Once you have pillars, LoS the MC. It will immediately reset the fight if you're solo and you get MC'd.

The azerite puddles on the ground are a dps buff. They only exist in the first and last phases, so keep that in mind. Stacks up to 6, lasts 30s.

I didn't stand in the mechanics, but the tank buster did almost no damage so I'd guess they don't hurt that much either.

Comment by Darkdefender

Keep in mind that even doing the mechanics correctly can break it - sometimes a pillar will spawn when you detonate in the hole, but you will be stuck underneath it and die shortly after.

When the Jailer connects a line of Control Pylons to the center of the machine, The Unmaking begins.

  Any damage not intercepted by players during [Desolation] will harm Azeroth.
