World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King - Sartharion Trailer Guide

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King - Sartharion Trailer Guide

Sartharion is the Onyx Guardian that leads the Black Dragonflight area of Chamber of Aspects inside the Obsidian Sanctum. This single boss encounter at also has his lieutenants drakes Shadron, Tenebron and Vesperon that can be included for harder difficulty levels.

This trailer is a guide on how to successfully beat Sartharion, one of the harder bosses encounters, without breaking a sweat.

==Important 3.0.8 Note==

"Dancing" Twilight Torment no longer works (playing with attack on/off to remove the buff right before he breaths.)

This narrated video explains the intricacies of the hardest fight in WoW right now: Sartharion with three drakes up.

The Strategy Guide

Our strategy page for the fight explains additional details that couldn't be conveyed well in text, has all the key data for the fight, and includes a complete transcript of the movie:

How We Learned It

One of our raidleaders wrote up a night-by-night recap of the various things we tried, where we succeeded, where we failed. It's a good insight into what happens before the kill:

The Movie

Through text, graphics, and voiceovers, the details of the fight are explained and highlighted to make it easier to grasp the strategy details of the fight.

I cover:

- raid composition

- positioning

- how the drake debuffs work

- tank gibs/breath mechanics

- keeping the whole raid alive

- timings

- how to use the portal

Wait What? Why Are You Doing This?

If you don't kill the Drakes before engaging Sarth, the three of them join the fight at preset intervals and wreak all sorts of extra havoc beyond just being three additional mobs to kill.

But you get three extra drops from Sarth's loot table (for a total of 5 + set pieces) *and* you get a mount (Blue Dragon.) Plus of course getting the achievements.

How do I know you guys know what you're talking about?

We were one of the first ten guilds in the US to complete the fight. We have been doing the fight for a month now, and this video and strat page represent our collective knowledge and experience with the fight, including the 10-man version.
