March on Quel'Danas

Raid guide · Patch 12.0 · Normal / Heroic / Mythic

All raids
12.0

March on Quel'Danas is a two-boss Season 1 raid at the Sunwell. Belo'ren teaches Light vs Void polarity — every mechanic is safe for one color and dangerous for the other. Midnight Falls / L'ura is a three-phase finale with Death's Dirge memory game, Void Core destruction, and Dawn Crystal light management in darkness.

  • Clear Sunwell approach in one pull — Sentinels patrol in pairs.
  • Assign Light/Void feather groups before Belo'ren pull; colors swap on Voidlight Convergence.
  • Place Death's Dirge markers: X, Square (for T), Circle, Diamond, Triangle clockwise around L'ura.
  • Heal Dawn Crystals to full in Phase 1 — you need them for Phase 3 Torchbearer light.
  • Lust Belo'ren egg phase and L'ura Phase 2 Galvanize — not pull.
  • Mythic approach: kill patrols before Sentinels reach terrace or trash respawns.

Boss encounters

Mechanics tagged heroic/mythic only show on that difficulty.

Belo'ren, Child of Al'ar

Light/Void polarity encounter. Phoenix phase: soak matching-color dives, interrupt matching-color Ember eruptions, kill embers and their eggs. At 0% phoenix becomes an egg — Phase 2 is the real health bar. 30-second burn windows per egg phase; Ashen Benediction stacks permanent healing reduction.

Start hereFollow the flow before reading individual mechanics.

Full fight flow

Read left to right — each phase repeats until the boss dies or enrages.

5 phases
  1. 1Everyone
    Phoenix P1

    Match-color soaks, interrupts, ember kills.

    Check your feather color after every Voidlight Convergence — colors swap. Soak Light Dive or Void Dive of YOUR color at the outer edge. Matching-color players interrupt Light or Void Eruption on embers. Kill Ember, then destroy the egg within 15 seconds or it rebirths.

  2. 2DPS
    Death Drop

    0% phoenix → egg. Gateway knockup. Lust.

    At 0% phoenix health, Belo'ren knocks the raid up and becomes an egg — use warlock gateway through knockup if available. Lust the egg phase, not the phoenix — egg HP is the real boss health bar. Stand in floor zones matching your color during egg burn.

  3. 3DPS
    Egg burn

    30s window on egg — real boss health.

    Burn the egg hard for 30 seconds with every cooldown — this is your damage window on real HP. Tanks soak Guardian's Edict frontals with matching color only; wrong color buffs boss 20% permanently. Healers pump egg damage window, not raid sustain.

  4. 4Everyone
    Reset

    Phoenix returns + Ashen Benediction stack.

    Phoenix returns after egg phase with another Ashen Benediction stack — permanent 10% healing reduction to the raid. Finish egg phases fast; stacks make phoenix phases deadlier. Heroic: intercept Infused Quills with matching-color players.

  5. 5DPS
    Kill

    Egg to 0% before 6-minute enrage.

    Repeat phoenix cycles until egg reaches 0% before the 6-minute enrage. Never soak opposite-color orbs in Radiant Echoes walls — lethal despite 50% reduction. Matching-color players handle interrupts exclusively; wrong color cannot kick eruptions.

New player checklist

  1. 1Check your feather color after every Voidlight Convergence — colors swap.
  2. 2Soak Light Dive / Void Dive of YOUR color; run dives to the outer edge.
  3. 3When Embers spawn, only matching-color players interrupt Light/ Void Eruption.
  4. 4Kill Ember, then destroy the egg within 15 seconds or it rebirths.
  5. 5Tanks: soak Guardian's Edict frontals with matching color — wrong color buffs boss 20%.
  6. 6At 0% phoenix: gateway after Death Drop knockup; lust the egg phase.
  7. 7Stand in floor zones matching your color during egg burn.

This will wipe you

  • Soaking opposite-color orbs in Radiant Echoes walls — lethal damage.
  • Wrong-color Guardian's Edict soak — permanent +20% boss damage per stack.
  • Letting Ember eggs rebirth — raid-wide nuke and add returns.
  • Lusting phoenix phase instead of egg — real HP is the egg.
  • Soaking leftover orbs right as Voidlight Convergence swaps your color.
  • Heroic: unintercepted Infused Quills — wrong color or no intercept hits hard.
Heroic notes
  • Infused Quills require color intercepts.
  • Two embers spawn per cycle.
  • Ashen Benediction stacks hurt faster.

Mechanics

Spread

Voidlight Convergence

Everyone

Assigns Light or Void Feather to every player. Colors swap periodically.

What you do

After each Convergence, call out your color. Only interact with mechanics matching your feather.

Soak

Radiant Echoes

Everyone

Walls of Light and Void orbs cross the room.

What you do

Matching-color player runs into orbs of their color to create gaps. Wrong color takes full damage despite 50% reduction.

Soak

Light / Void Dive

Everyone

Soak circles on players; matching color must soak. Leaves expanding pool + Ember add.

What you do

Targeted player runs to outer edge. Matching-color soaker helps soak. Kill Ember, then egg within 15s.

Kick

Light / Void Eruption

Everyone

Ember channels raid-wide blast; only matching-color interrupt works.

What you do

Matching feather player uses Eruption ability to interrupt. Wrong color cannot kick — call interrupt rotation per ember type.

Kill

Ember Rebirth

DPS

Dead embers become eggs; rebirth after 15 seconds.

What you do

Kill egg immediately with single-target. Rebirth deals massive raid damage and resurrects the ember.

Tank

Guardian's Edict

Tank

Light and Void frontal cones on tanks. Wrong-color soak enrages boss +20% permanent.

What you do

Matching-color tank taunts and soaks their edict. Other tank moves clear. Never let wrong color get hit.

Kill

Death Drop / Egg Phase

DPS

Phoenix at 0% knocks raid up, becomes egg. Egg HP is real boss health.

What you do

Warlock gateway through knockup. Lust and burn egg 30 seconds. Stand in color-matching floor zones.

Defensive

Ashen Benediction

Healer

Each egg phase cycle adds permanent 10% healing reduction to raid.

What you do

Finish egg phases fast — stacks make phoenix phases deadlier. Healers: plan reduced throughput.

Soak

Infused Quills

heroicmythic
Everyone

Heroic+: Void/Light quills target players; matching color intercept halves damage.

What you do

Matching-color player stands in quill path between quill and target. Wrong color or no intercept = raid damage.

Tank
  • Soak Guardian's Edict with matching feather only.
  • Taunt swap so correct color faces each frontal.
  • Call color before each Edict combo.
  • During egg phase, help kill embers if any spawn.
Healer
  • Track Ashen Benediction stacks — throughput drops each cycle.
  • Pre-shield matching-color dive soakers.
  • Egg phase: pump egg damage window, not raid sustain.
  • Heroic: quill intercept damage spikes.
DPS
  • Ember → egg is always first priority in phoenix phase.
  • Save burst for egg — lust egg, not phoenix.
  • Matching-color players handle interrupts exclusively.
  • Pop Radiant Echoes gaps for raid movement.
