Mechanic to summon Gholnaros

(Not implemented yet)

Three “Eyes” must be found to summon Gholnaros (Xeratais’ Eye, Kholares’ Eye and Vendexa’s Eye). These eyes are looted from eyes on the ground, that all look identical. Once collected, the eyes appear in your quest bag.

Once an eye is picked up, it respawns at a different location immediately. The locations of each of the eyes are in RvR lakes, some of the known locations follow (there are likely more):

Note: If your graphics are turned up and draw distance set to “far” you will see a 6 foot flame shoot straight up in a swirling pattern out of the eyes from about 65 feet away. This happens once every 10 seconds.

After having obtained all three eyes, go to the dragon’s lair in Dragonwake at 23.2k 43k, and activate the pink orb above the ‘Gholnaros’ Memorial’ near Pelgorath’s Ember BO to summon him. He can be spawned once every 12 hours, though the eyes can be collected at any time. Each essence is good for only 1 activation.

Tactics / Mechanic

Prepare for an epic battle against Gholnaros the Deathless. He has the following four abilities:

Dragon Breath: Frontal cone damage over time for four seconds, one tick every half second. Spirit damage
Black Fire: Direct damage. Spirit damage.
Black Fire: Targeted area of effect damage. Spirit damage.
Gaping Maw: Direct damage. Physical damage.

A normal group setup will suffice against Gholnaros. Have all ranged and healers at casting range, spread out in case the AoE damage is cast on any of them, to prevent all ranged from being hit with one AoE. Th tank should position Gholnaros so its back is to everyone else. Melee, get to Gholnaros’s rear and attack from there. The tank will take massive damage in this fight as a result of the DoT and DD damage. HoTs on the tank are absolutely critical to mitigate this DoT damage. Remember if you’re the main tank healer, never heal another player unless there are HoTs already on the tank. A backup healer would be helpful to assist the main healer in this fight. If there is a backup healer, have that person focus on healing the raid. Of course, healers should always heal themselves and other healers first, with the exception of the tank. If a healer dies, the raid dies. So healers make sure you watch your own health.
