Since the launch of theWoW Classic Season of Discovery, one boss has stood in many players' way of completing thenewly revamped max-levelBlackfathom Deeps Raid. After the first five bosses of the seven-boss Raid, Twilight Lord Kelris serves as the penultimate challenge of BFD, and he’s arguably a more challenging fight than Aku-Mai for the unprepared party.
But in the end, with the right preparation and strategies in mind Kelris isjust a boss like any other, and as long as the Raid group abides by the fight’s mechanics, things tend to go smoothly. This guide goes over what to do to prepare for Twilight Lord Kelris, as well as specific tips for each role (DPS, Healer, Tank) that you’re able to reference for advice just before the fight.
Twilight Lord Kelris Overview: Abilities, Phases, & Preparation
Twilight Lord Kelris has two phases and four abilities that he will rotate through. Every ten seconds, he will cast Shadowy Chains, with Mind Blasts in between. Shadow Crash and Sleep are cast at regular intervals as well.
In Phase One, which lasts until roughly 35% of his HP remains, two of Kelris' abilities are interruptable: Mind Blast, and Shadowy Chains. These two abilities should be interrupted as often as possible by melee DPS and Tanks – especially Shadowy Chains.
In Phase Two,none of Kelris' abilities are interruptible, and he will seemingly randomly target melee DPS with Mind Blasts. But anyone can be targeted with these uninterruptible Mind Blasts, so it’s essential for all players to bring along Shadow Protection Potions for Phase Two.
