Lowly Moleherd Throw Rock on a random player, and cast Mole Frenzy which causes all nearby Pack Mole to be enraged.
Those Pack Mole themself attack the tank and apply Nasty Nibble on them, a debuff that currently does not stack, but might do in the future.
The Boss uses Rock Buster on the Tank, dealing heavy damage and applying a 25% damage taken increase for 6 seconds on the Tank.
Ol’ Waxbeard targets the furthest player in your group, and then charges towards him. This deals very high damage to players struck in its path, knocks them and also kills all adds.
Main mechanic of this fight is XX, causing several adds to run into the encounter area all the time. These adds attack with melee attacks the current Tank, but sometimes switch targets when a player gets affected by XX. This is a regular debuff applied by the boss and has to be healed off by the healer. All adds will fixate onto that player.
Throughout the fight, carts will rush through the arena over the traintracks. These are indicated by glowing up. This will deal heavy damage to players struck, but kill all adds that were hit.
Players that are fixated by the adds need to aim them into the charge, or through the cart rushing in.
The boss also spawns some swirls below each player after his charge, which also kills these adds.
And in Mythic, sometimes a cart is driving in that has dynamite loaded on it. This has to be killed within 20 seconds or it explodes for deadly damage.
Kobold Taskworker use Bonk, creating a circle underneath a player that stuns and deals damage when he finishes his cast.
Blazing Fiend cast Explosive Flame which is interruptable, creating several swirls that quickly explode and deal damage to players.
Wandering Candle cast Quenching Blast, dealing damage to players within 30 yards, so you are lucky if you are standing on range. Surging Wax creates a swirl around the Wandering Candle, dealing damage to players within 10 yards. Sad melees.
Key mechanic on this fight is Wicklighter Barrage and the candles that are circleing the room. Wicklighter Barrage spawns several swirls on players, detonating on impact, and lighting all candles on fire that are hit. When a candle is set on fire, XX will make it spawn voidzones in a cone towards the boss.
Blazikon are little tornados that follow players, dowsing all candles that are hit, so make sure to not kite them through them.
XX is a cone aiming towards all candles that are not lit up, dealing very high damage to players. Players can hide in the spot towards a candle that was already set on fire.
And right after XX, she uses XX to turn off all candles, dealing damage to players and pushing them back once. Repeat all phases until the boss is dead.
After a quick roleplay with a Wandering Candle and several caster non-elites, you encounter two mini-bosses you have to fight together.
Torchsnarl uses Pyro-Pummel. This is a frontal cone in the direction of the Tank, so make sure to face this away. When he targets a player with XX, make sure to aim it away and not get hit in its path. Torchsnarl will grab players and stun them for 7 seconds. Currently unknown if you can Line-of-Sight this.
Sootsnout use Candleflame Bolt to attack the Tank, and XX to onto a random player. This channel cast will root the targeted player, but can be interrupted. Ceaseless Flame is his frontal cone, spraying fire infront of him.
The key mechanic on this boss fight are Eerie Molds. This spawns Wax statues of each player that pulsate for damage. This damage becomes unbearable the more statues are alive. These statues also have a small voidzone around them, ursed Wax, that stuns players for 20 seconds that are coming into contact with them. This can be very deadly if you are running into it.
To destroy these wax statues, the Boss aimes his pickaxe to a random player, indicated by an arrow from the boss. This deals heavy damage to players hit, but instead you want to aim it towards wax statues so they get destroyed and take the damage.
The is a debuff on several players, dealing damage in a 5-yard radius around each targeted player, and upon expiration, it destroys all wax statues that were hit by this. Players should try to position themself close to a statue, without running into it and getting stunned.
The Candle King amplifies players’ fear of the dark, causing them to flee in fear for 4 sec. This cast can be interrupted.
In order to reach the last boss, players have to escort the cart that has a lit candle on it. This will also be a similar boss mechanic. The candle light depletes over time and has to be refilled. Players outside of the candle light have their damage and healing reduced by 99%. Walk close to candles to pick them up automatically, then walk back to your cart and replenish it. The cart also only moves if a player is nearby.
Skittering Darkness adds will die with an explosion on the floor, so make sure to dodge that.
Shuffling Horror adds run towards your cart and cast Drain Light if not enganged into combat with players. They attack the tank with regular attacks and also cast Shadow Smash in the direction of the Tank, a typical frontal cone.
And last, Corridor Creeper get a 10% damage increase for each corpse that is nearby with XX. They seem to not have any other ability, but hurt the Tank quiet a bit.
After a little roleplay ride, you will be on your way to finally fight the last boss.
You must taking candle!
mothering Shadows is the main mechanic in this fight. A candle can be picked up by a player, but this pacifies them. You can walk around with this candle and place it again, and this is going to be really important.
If any player is not in the candle light, they deal 99% less damage and heal. If the heat of the candle is depleted, the boss casts Rising Gloom, dealing damage and reducing players damage and haste. This effect stacks, and will cause wipes if your candle is depleted too often.
Players can pick up Wax Lump to restore some heat to the candle. These are laying around from dead NPCs.
The boss uses XX, dealing damage every 1 second for 4 second, which also drains heat from the candle light.
The boss also uses XX in the direction of the candle, trying to deplete more heat of it. Players have to pick the candle up again and move it out of this frontal cone.
The is a debuff on a random player, creating a 10-yard circle around them, dealing damage in that radius and depleting candle heat if it gets hit.
The is an interruptable cast that would spawn adds that try to deplete even more candle light.
