Route schematic — planning order only, not a copied or exact in-game minimap.
  1. 1

    Hunter camp

    Mark Freezing Traps and keep the first arena clear of patrols.

  2. 2

    Muro’jin and Nekraxx

    Trigger a trap before Carrion Swoop so Nekraxx shatters it and becomes stunned; defeat the pair close together.

  3. 3

    Soul tunnels

    Interrupt necrotic channels and kill phantoms before pulling additional packs.

  4. 4

    Vordaza

    Kite Unstable Phantoms, control Lingering Dread, and interrupt Necrotic Convergence when Deathshroud drops.

  5. 5

    Totem hall

    Do not overlap totem and cleave pulls. Save stops for soul-drain casts.

  6. 6

    Rak’tul

    Spread Soulbind Totems, recover souls after Soulrending Roar, and use defensives for Deathgorged Vessel.

Boss mechanics

Assignments that prevent repeat wipes.

Start with the primary call, then assign tank, healer, and DPS responsibilities before the pull.

Boss encounter

Muro'jin and Nekraxx

Primary call: Use the trap interaction and balance both health bars.

Key mechanics

  • Freezing Traps can stop Carrion Swoop and stun Nekraxx.
  • Defeating one first causes Revive Pet or Bestial Wrath, so finish them close together.
  • Fetid Quillstorm and Barrage punish poor positioning.
Tank

Face frontals away, stabilize boss position, and use a defensive for the listed tank-buster window.

Healer

Pre-position for unavoidable group damage, dispel listed effects, and call external defensives before overlaps.

DPS

Interrupt priority casts, swap to required adds or objects, and save burst for exposed or intermission windows.

Boss encounter

Vordaza

Primary call: Kite phantoms into a controlled kill zone and interrupt the convergence.

Key mechanics

  • Wrest Phantoms summons Unstable Phantoms that chase players.
  • Their deaths apply Lingering Dread.
  • Interrupt Necrotic Convergence when Deathshroud is no longer protecting the boss.
Tank

Face frontals away, stabilize boss position, and use a defensive for the listed tank-buster window.

Healer

Pre-position for unavoidable group damage, dispel listed effects, and call external defensives before overlaps.

DPS

Interrupt priority casts, swap to required adds or objects, and save burst for exposed or intermission windows.

Boss encounter

Rak'tul, Vessel of Souls

Primary call: Break soul links cleanly and regroup immediately after the roar.

Key mechanics

  • Crush Souls creates Soulbind Totems that connect players.
  • Soulrending Roar displaces player souls into Restless Masses; reunite quickly.
  • Deathgorged Vessel is heavy party damage.
Tank

Face frontals away, stabilize boss position, and use a defensive for the listed tank-buster window.

Healer

Pre-position for unavoidable group damage, dispel listed effects, and call external defensives before overlaps.

DPS

Interrupt priority casts, swap to required adds or objects, and save burst for exposed or intermission windows.

Trash and route risks

What to stop between bosses.

  • Interrupt soul extraction and necrotic bolt casts.
  • Do not combine phantom-heavy packs unless stops are available.
  • Use disease and curse dispels where your group composition allows.
  • Enemy-forces values can change with hotfixes; import a current MDT route before starting the key.
  • Call every major stop and defensive in voice rather than assuming it is available.

Quests and unlocks

Do not leave rewards behind.

  • Complete the dungeon on Mythic 0 or obtain the matching keystone through the current Season 1 system.
  • Seasonal portals are earned by timing the dungeon at the required keystone level.

Final checklist

Before the group enters.

✓ Route reviewed
✓ Interrupts assigned
✓ Dispels confirmed
✓ Boss timers enabled
✓ Consumables ready

These guides are planning baselines. Live hotfixes, seasonal affixes, difficulty modifiers, and private-server scripts can alter exact damage, timing, or enemy count. Verify the current in-game journal and your group’s route before the pull.
