Where are we on the route?

◆ trash · ■ objective · ⬢ boss — the order of the run, not the map.

What do I do on each boss? · every role

The Golden Serpent

Boss 1 · stop 2

Dodges: Spit Gold: Drop the puddles together — Lucre’s Call wakes them as Animated Gold.
Tank: Tail Thrash: Tank hit — not dangerous.
Healer: Serpentine Gust: Channelled group damage — cooldowns ready.
DPS: Animated Gold: Cleave the blobs down before they reach the boss.
Utility: Animated Gold: Slow and crowd-control the blobs.

Mchimba the Embalmer

Boss 2 · stop 4

Interrupts: Wretched Discharge: Keep the two mummies kicked while you cleave them.
Dodges: Drain Fluids: Avoid the circles; if targeted, defensive or combat-drop.
Healer: Drain Fluids: Push a drained player above 90% health.

The Council of Tribes

Boss 3 · stop 6

Interrupts: Poison Nova: Kick it.
Dispels: Severing Axe: Bleed-cleanse or heal the target.
Dodges: Whirling Axes: Dodge the hit and spinning projectiles; tank Kula in the centre.
Tank: Debilitating Backhand: Kite it out or use a big defensive.
Healer: Arc Lightning: Group damage that always cleaves off the tank.
DPS: Call the Elements: Kill Explosive, then Thundering, then Torrent totem.

Dazar, the First King

Boss 4 · stop 8

Interrupts: Deathly Roar: Keep Reban kicked.
Dodges: Hunting Leap: Reban leaps to the tank — avoid the frontal.
Tank: Blade Combo: Defensive for the ramping combo; Savage Maul lands just before when mounted.
Healer: Quaking Leap: Extra group damage while he is mounted.
DPS: Reban: Focus Reban first — it removes his extra mechanics.

Where is the key usually lost?

Every boss and the trashBoth hit hard, and scaling is unforgiving at high keys.
The trash gimmicksPart of the difficulty is relearning them — it should ease.

Icy Veins’ difficulty notes (23 Aug), editorial — no measured key-loss rate exists here.

It went wrong — now what?

Release and run back together.
Re-read the danger — Hex Volley: Kick every Risen Hexer cast.
Pull again with cooldowns ready.

Next safe action: Assign the answer to Hex Volley before the pull.

Editorial — general Mythic+ practice, not from the guide.

What changed in Season 2

• Season 2 test notes (July 7): most enemies got new ability packages, and some RP between bosses runs faster.

• Patch 12.1.5 (13 Oct 2026): Blizzard’s 12.1.5 notes change no Mythic+ row — one Murder Row bug fix.

The stops follow the guide’s own sections — the trash before each boss, then the boss. Every note is our paraphrase; ability names are the game’s. The danger on each stop is the guide’s heaviest warning there. A route is a group’s choice, so the card has no pull numbers or enemy-force percentages.

Kings’ Rest entrance & teleport

Zuldazar, top of the Atal’Dazar pyramid

Where: Fly over western Zuldazar to the top of the Atal’Dazar pyramid — where Yazma is fought — rather than walking in through Atal’Dazar.
Waypoint: /way #1193 37.90 39.73 — the map ID first, then x and y, as waypoint addons read it.
Teleport: Time it at +10 or higher. Blizzard’s “Keystone Hero: Kings’ Rest” achievement then unlocks the teleport — Path of the Slumbering Conqueror.

Quickest door to every Season 2 dungeon: the Timeways portal hub in Silvermoon City, near the Thalassian University. Door and waypoint: Method — Season 2 dungeon entrance locations (2026-08-10), read 2026-10-09. Teleport: Blizzard achievement data, read 2026-10-09.

Our own rows on this page were checked on Oct 7, 2026. Where the two differ, the newer date wins — a hotfix after the upload is the usual reason.

Each video is the channel’s own upload; a guide is filed under a boss or dungeon only when its own title names that one and no other. Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play, and nothing is re-hosted.

Zuldazar, top of the Atal’Dazar pyramid. Fly over western Zuldazar to the top of the Atal’Dazar pyramid — where Yazma is fought — rather than walking in through Atal’Dazar. Waypoint: /way #1193 37.90 39.73.
