Ula'tek

Final boss · eggs, coils and a shrinking floor

Heroic4 phasesVerifiedProvisional

Egg control across three stages and a shattering platform. Anything green touching an egg or its carrier hatches a lethal Blightscale Viper; controlled hatches are harmless. The second platform break in Stage Three is the hardest moment: use everything.

Pull brief

Method: egg control is the fight. Bloodlust on the first Rage of the Shackled; Stage Three is the hardest, and the second platform break is where you use everything.

  • Eggs touching venom: a Blightscale Viper.
  • A tank leaving melee or the tail uncovered: Unchecked Rage or Rattler Slam on the raid.
  • An unsoaked Serpent's Bite becoming a Calcified Corpse.
  • Grasping Fangs snapped together, stacking the raid DoT.
  • Holding tank cooldowns for the second break instead of using them proactively.

Phases · 4

  1. Stage One · Fury of the Serpent Mother
    Pull. Three eggs spawn; grabbing them starts the fight. Ends with the first Rage of the Shackled burn.
  2. Stage Two · Children of the Doomscale
    After the first Rage of the Shackled (Method). The raid splits into two groups.
  3. Intermission · The Shattering
    After Stage Two's second damage amp. The platform breaks into four pieces.
  4. Stage Three · Ula'tek's Ascension
    Ride the knock-up onto the platforms. Circling Prey breaks them one by one; then the race to the enrage.

Positioning

LEFTRIGHT
Spectral Coils — two groups soak left and right to split the damage and pop the eggs.
B
Serpent's Bite — three soak groups hold the red circles until fully soaked, then spread for Volatile Purge.

Healer plan

  • Necrotic Vapors stacks all fight; Method runs five healers.
  • Manage Stone Venom stacks on the tanks; pre-plan defensives and externals for Dread Roar's stun.
  • Stage Three: one healer is always a Serpent's Bite target. Soak, then spread for Volatile Purge.
  • Save cooldowns for the second platform break.
