Vexhul and Ithraz share one rule: Eternal Venom stacks never fall off, and only soaking Ravenous Feast removes one. Keep both at similar health and kill them together before the third Submerge.
Pull brief
Icy Veins: use Bloodlust on the pull and keep Vexhul and Ithraz at similar health. Method: venom economy is the fight; the ability loop is predictable, so the avoidable stacks are the whole test.
- Reaching the venom threshold (Heroic and Mythic).
- Letting Caustic Globules explode, or missing Stone Breaker soaks: raid-wide venom or massive raid damage.
- Soaking Ravenous Feast twice.
- One boss dying first; Uncoiled Wrath snowballs.
- Standing in Vile Flood, or mismanaging the beam rotation until the arena fills with hazards.
Phases · 2
- Main phasePull. The loop runs twice: Caustic Deluge → Stone Breaker → Venomous Emergence → Coiling Ichor → Stir the Depths → Ravenous Feast (Method).
- Intermission · Submerge100 energy, after two rotations. Both bosses submerge and reposition; the third Submerge is the hard enrage (Method). Icy Veins puts the enrage around 8 minutes.
Positioning
Healer plan
- Toxic Fumes ticks every 2 seconds all fight; Ravenous Feast is the burst to plan cooldowns around.
- Track venom stacks per player; on Heroic anyone near the threshold has to be in a Feast group.
- Manage the knockback positioning after Feast soaks (Icy Veins).
- Mythic: Blood Torrent absorbs healing on its targets for 5 seconds.
Positioning
- Raid spread loosely; tanks hold the bosses where they are.
- Coiling Ichor pools go to the arena edge; Congealed Gore slows by 60%.
- Submerge: move against the beam's rotation and cross it early; dodge Sanguine Storm while rotating.
Verifiedchecked Sep 2, 2026Mechanics from the dungeon journal text on Warcraft Wiki; responses from Icy Veins (updated Aug 13) and Method's Heroic guide (Aug 14). Sources differ on the Eternal Venom threshold (wiki: 9 applications for the 85% max-health hit and stun; Icy Veins and Method: 10 stacks kill on Heroic) and on Uncoiled Wrath's rate (wiki +10% per 4s, Method 25%). Both readings are shown. Raid Finder: 20% less health and the venom hit reduced to 50% (wiki). No Holy-specific notes exist in any source.
