Strategy Guide
Fight in 3 phases. Each phase, the boss divides the room in sections with walls that break line of sight.
A lot of the boss' abilities break walls and allow players to move in the room.
In P1, change sections when one gets filled with lava. P1 ends when boss drops to 60% HP.
In P2, new walls spawn. The boss summons 3 adds. Kill them to start P3 before the boss' massive casts kill you.
In P3, new walls. The boss turns walls into portals that summon adds.
In P3, go into portals to survive the boss' massive blast. Kill the boss before there aren't any walls or portals left.
Breaking walls deals a lot more damage. Only destroy one wall section each time you need to break walls.
In P1 and P2, the bombs are now huge AoEs. You can't place most of them in a single section of the room without hitting everyone else.
You'll often want to break one wall to have more space to deal with the bombs and allow 2 or 3 players to go explode in another section.
In P3, only one player can hide in each portal to survive Ebon Destruction.
These abilities are common to every phases of the fight.
EVERYONE
DODGE THE FALLING ROCKS.
Multiple abilities throughout the fight cause rocks to fall in the room.
They deal damage to any player hit. Dodge them.
Neltharion divides the room in small sections with walls. Break walls with boss' abilities and change sections when one is filled with lava.
Ends when Neltharion drops to 60% HP.
EVERYONE
STAY GROUPED UP AND
DODGE THE FORMING WALLS.
At the beginning of P1, Neltharion divides the room in segments with walls in a fixed pattern.
Walls break line of sight.
Stay grouped and don't get cut off by walls.
EVERYONE
IF NEEDED, GO IN FRONT
OF A WALL TO BREAK IT.
OTHER PLAYERS MOVE AWAY.
Marks a few players with arrows then knocks them backward. Getting knocked into a wall destroys it.
Anyone between marked players and the boss take damage and get silenced.
Only break walls if you need to.
EVERYONE
PLAYERS WITH BOMBS
MOVE AWAY FROM
OTHER PLAYERS.
Bombs on 5 players. They explode after 7s, dealing damage and applying a stackable DoT to nearby players.
The size of the AoE is greatly increased in Mythic. You'll often need to break 1 wall to allow players with a bomb to go to another section and explode there.
TANKS
IF NEEDED, GO IN FRONT
OF A WALL TO BREAK IT.
TANK SWAP.
Large hit of physical damage and a knockback on the tank. Getting knocked into a wall will break the wall segment.
Applies a 200% vulnerability for 40s.
Only break walls if you need to (if you need to switch sections).
EVERYONE
DON'T STAND IN THE CIRCLE OR
THE LAVA. CHANGE SECTIONS OF THE
ROOM AND DODGE FALLING ROCKS.
The boss marks a circle and drops a big lava pool. Get out of them.
Lava pools are roughly the size of a room section. Move to a new section by breaking walls.
At 60% HP, Neltharion destroys the walls from P1 and builds a new wall configuration. He also summons 3 adds.
Break walls to reach the adds and kill them before Neltharion kills you.

EVERYONE
PLAYERS WITH CORRUPTION
DEBUFF MUST BREAK THE
SHIELD OF THE ADDS.
Long cast at start of P2. Summons 3 Voice from Beyond adds in the room.
They're invulnerable until their small shield is broken. Only players with Corruption can break their shields and make them attackable by everyone.
Break the walls to reach them and kill them before Umbral Annihilation wipes you.
EVERYONE
DEBUFFED PLAYERS
ATTACK THE ADDS. DON'T
KILL YOUR ALLIES.
Debuff on a few players at the start of P2 and then regularly.
Only these players can see and attack the Voice from Beyond adds for 30s. Corrupted players are hostile to other players.

EVERYONE
QUICKLY KILL THE ADDS.

RESOURCES
A general WeakAura pack that provides "icon" style mechanics/debuff as well as short descriptions for each. Pretty standard. We also recommend downloading Causese Sound addon to hear vocal announcements. Feel free to thank the amazing Causese here (sorry, no Twitter that I know of...).
Another must have by Causese if you play or are planning to play tank. It informs you when to taunt and how your co-tank is doing with their mechanics.
Make sure to checkout the Causese Sound addon to also pair it with appropriate sound announcements.
