Glacial Maw Guide



There are 4 bosses in the Glacial Maw instance and a Secret Chest:
Shigoroth

Essential abilities: None

Strategy:
*Note: I don't know the ability names, but their descriptions are listed below. Will update when I know the names. 

Mechanics: 
Breath Channel: A cleave that follows the tank 
Red Bubble on Tank: This is a knock up/back ability 
Blue Explosions: Deals damage 
Biting Snowstorm: Run around, and don't stop until the cast is done. Adds spawn during Biting Snowstorm. After the cast is done, the adds turn into eggs and blow up dealing massive AoE damage. The tank needs to pick up the adds during Biting Snowstorm. 
*Note: Damaging the adds during Biting Snowstorm may reduce the AoE damage from the eggs (unconfirmed). Possibly reduce damage by moving far enough away (unconfirmed). 


Tanks: 
* Pick up adds 
* Have CD's ready in case healer has trouble 

Healers: 
* Heal Heal Heal 
* Being able to heal while moving is important 

DPS: 
* DPS boss, (possibly the adds during Biting Snowstorm)

Apotheron

Essential abilities: None

Strategy:
*Note: I don't know the ability names, but their descriptions are listed below. Will update when I know the names. 

Mechanics: 
Ice Clouds: Blue bubbles that spawn under the boss. Deal damage and slow? Kite boss away from these 
Red ground AoE: Deal damage. Kite boss away from these 
Pulsing Crystals: Deal damage, avoid these. 
Concentration: Boss emotes "Let me think". Kill the crystals (must be in melee range?). You will get a reactive, use it to jump on the boss's head. Kill Concentration while on his head. There is a blizzard that moves up the boss. You need to kill Concentration quickly or the blizzard will kill you. 
*Note: Ice Clouds don't damage healers or dps (Thanks Elinie@Greybriar!) 


Tanks: 
* Tank boss away from Ice Clouds and Red AoE areas. 

Healers: 
* Avoid Red AoE spots, and Pulsing Crystals 

DPS: 
* DPS boss, don't kill crystals until Concentration 
* Avoid Red AoE spots, and Pulsing Crystals

Toknoth

Essential abilities: None

Strategy:
*Note: I don't know the ability names, but their descriptions are listed below. Will update when I know the names. 

Mechanics: 
Green Ground AoE: Toknoth places a large green AoE beneath him. Kite him out of this. 
Eggs and Adds: If dps is high, ignore adds and eggs. Otherwise, kill them when they spawn. 
Breath: A frontal cone breath attack. DPS and healer stand behind boss to avoid. 
Note: Moves faster than his ai can deal with. Tends to get behind the tank, make sure to turn him after every move. (Thanks Elinie@Greybriar!) 


Tanks: 
* Kite boss out of the ground AoE 

Healers: 
* Stay behind boss 
* If ignoring adds, be ready for extra tank heals 
* Stay out of green AoE areas 

DPS: 
* High DPS: Ignore adds and eggs, just burn boss 
* Lower DPS: Burn adds and eggs when they spawn 
* Stay behind boss 
* Avoid green AoE areas

Cosmologist Mann

Essential abilities: Interrupt

Strategy:
*Note: I don't know the ability names, but their descriptions are listed below. Will update when I know the names. 

Mechanics: 
Heart: There are 2 bosses, Cosmologist and the Heart. Only one can be damaged at a time. When one goes immune, swap to the other 
Green AoE: The Heart shoots a small green AoE at random player. Run out of this. 
Large Blue Circle: Everyone stand in this when it spawns. Boss does a large AoE after a couple seconds which will kill you if not in the blue. 
There are 2 interrupts, one for each boss. I don't know the names, but you only need to interrupt the active boss. (Will add names when I get them). 
Note: "Icy Grip" that NEEDS to be interrupted regardless of if he's vulnerable or not (cast by Mann). (Thanks Enepttastic!)
Heart casts Soul Storm which needs to be interrupted when the Heart is active. (Thanks Semp!) 
Note: Interrupts are buggy, assign one person to each boss for interrupts. (Thanks Elinie@Greybriar!) 


Tanks: 
* Swap targets when boss goes immune 
* Avoid green AoE (only lasts a few seconds) 
* Get in Blue Circle when it spawns 
* Interrupt 

Healers: 
* Avoid green AoE (only lasts a few seconds) 
* Get in Blue Circle when it spawns 

DPS: 
* Swap targets when boss goes immune 
* Avoid green AoE (only lasts a few seconds) 
* Get in Blue Circle when it spawns

Secret Chest Guide


There is a crystal on top of each of the 4 frozen heads at the 2nd boss location. Have one person on each head, and kill the crystals at the same time (they have 1hp each).

When the 4 crystals are killed at the same time, the 4 frozen mobs inside the mouth activate. Single target DPS them down quickly (they heal to full every few GCD, so kill them fast).

The loot chest spawns inside the big mouth leading to the next boss.
