Mythic+ guide · Midnight · Patch 12.1
Den of Nalorakk is a three-boss Amani-themed dungeon in a snow-covered troll den. Collect six offerings before The Hoardmonger, survive the Harsh Winds gauntlet, and protect Zul'jarra during Nalorakk's echo and shade mechanics on the final boss.
Raid-wide channel — highest interrupt priority in the dungeon.
Heavy single-target damage; also spawns totems on some casts.
Heals nearby trash — interrupt or CC to prevent elongated pulls.
Interrupt every cast on pulls with this mob.
Kill totem spawns; interrupt if totem is already dead.
A greedy troll who empowers resource piles at 90%, 70%, and 40%. Soak Rotten Mushrooms before they Putrid Burst, spread mushroom soaks to manage Toxic Spores, and prepare for Hearty Bellow knockback.
Pull to win — follow each phase in order every time the loop repeats.
Soak Rotten Mushrooms before 12s timer. Spread soaks to manage Toxic Spores.
Soak every Rotten Mushroom before the 12-second timer expires — unsoaked mushrooms Putrid Burst and wipe the group. Rotate who takes soaks so Toxic Spores poison does not stack on one player. Dispel spores when possible.
At 90/70/40%, boss empowers a pile — meat first, bone second, mushroom last.
At 90%, 70%, and 40% the Hoardmonger runs to empower a resource pile permanently. Order is meat first (adds knockback to Hearty Bellow), bone second (upgrades slam), mushroom last (more Rotten Mushrooms). Call which pile he is running to before each breakpoint.
Step out of Bonespike Slam zones. Tank mitigates Earthshatter Slam.
After bone pile empowerment, watch Bonespike Slam impact zones and step out before they land — empowered slam leaves dangerous ground. Tank uses active mitigation on Earthshatter Slam before bone empowerment. Face the boss away from mushroom soak paths.
Pre-top before empowered bellow — knockback plus AoE and DoT after meat pile.
After meat pile empowerment, Hearty Bellow gains knockback, AoE damage, and a DoT. Healers pre-shield and top the group before every bellow. Position away from walls and mushroom remnants so knockback does not launch you into hazards.
Loop mushroom soaks and pile empowerment until the Hoardmonger falls.
Every cycle: soak mushrooms on timer, call empowered pile, dodge slams, ramp for bellow. Call mushroom timers at 10 seconds — Putrid Burst from missed soaks is the primary wipe. Hold burst for windows after mushroom waves clear.
At 90%, 70%, and 40% health the Hoardmonger empowers a resource pile permanently.
Empower order: meat pile first (adds knockback to Ravenous Bellow), bone second (upgrades slam), mushroom last (more Rotten Mushrooms). Call which pile he is running to before each breakpoint.
Officer tip: Meat first is intentional — Hearty Bellow is healable; mushroom empowerment spawns more soaks.
Mushroom soaks spawn around the room. Unsoaked mushrooms Putrid Burst after 12 seconds.
Soak every Rotten Mushroom before the 12-second timer expires. Spread soaks across players — soaking applies Toxic Spores poison. Rotate who takes mushrooms so one player does not stack all poison.
Poison applied when soaking mushrooms. Stacks amplify all subsequent damage.
Dispel Toxic Spores when possible. If no dispels, rotate soak assignments so poison spreads evenly — never let one healer hold every stack.
After bone pile empowerment, Earthshatter Slam becomes Bonespike Slam with area denial.
Watch the slam impact zone and step out before it lands. The empowered version leaves dangerous ground — do not stand in the impact area.
After meat pile empowerment, Ravenous Bellow gains knockback, AoE damage, and a DoT.
Healers pre-top and pre-shield before Hearty Bellow. Position away from walls and mushroom remnants so knockback does not launch you into hazards.
Heavy slam on the tank before bone pile empowerment.
Tank uses active mitigation on Earthshatter Slam. Face the boss away from mushroom soak paths.
