Description

At the center of Ny'alotha stands a dread mountain of flesh, teeming with eyes and tendrils of unfettered corruption. Madness itself seeps from the writhing mass, eroding the sanity of all who approach it. This is the heart of the Black Empire, N'Zoth's seat of power, the body of a god.

Overview

N'Zoth rallies his physical defenses, retreating deeper into his carapace at 50% and 40% health. Players' Sanity balances tenuously throughout the encounter. Wrathion allows players to utilize their [Ashjra'kamas, Shroud of Resolve] to recover from Wrathion's [Anchor of Sanity]. Losing all Sanity grants [Gift of N'Zoth], then transforms a player into a [Servant of N'Zoth]. Players lose access to Wrathion's aid in the final stage.
