Antorus, the Burning Throne Boss Guides » Kin'garoth Guide
Kin'garoth is a boss in the Antorus, the Burning Throne raid in World of Warcraft. Our strategy guide will help you to defeat the Kin'garoth encounter and the loot listing below contains all of the loot he drops on each difficulty.
Overview
Kin'garoth is a two phased fight which alternate whenever he reaches 100 energy. This mastermind behind the Legion war machine will construct and deploy Fel Reavers who who have abilities similar to
Garothi Worldbreaker
Heroic Changes
- This fight does not contain Heroic specific mechanics, however a general increase in difficulty should be expected.
Strategy and Positioning
- This encounter consists of two alternating phases, which are broken down below.
- During the Construction Phase, three Fel Reavers will begin Initializing. We recommend splitting the raid in half and killing two of them before they are fully operational.
- Larger raids should prioritize killing the Garothi Decimator (Orange), while smaller raids should prioritize killing the Garothi Demolisher (Purple).
Deployment Phase:
- The raid should generally move on the same side of the boss, with one tank on the opposite side dealing with the orbs.
- Diabolic Bombs should be triggered by running into them by the off tank, who should be as far from the group as possible.
- After a 3 second cast, the boss will start channeling Ruiner. Make sure to note where the boss is facing to make it easier to avoid.
- While channeling Ruiner, the boss will spin clockwise or counterclockwise alternatively.
- The raid should split in half and go to their assigned Fel Reaver construction site shortly before the boss reaches 100 energy.
Construction Phase:
- The Fel Reavers will start with a debuff which increases their damage taken by 90%. This debuff deteriorates by 3% every 3 seconds.
- Damage cooldowns should be used when their stacks are still high.
- The following strategy should be used to deal with each Fel Reaver:
- Garothi Annihilator: When Annihilation is cast, all circles that appear should be soaked by standing on top of them until they explode, otherwise the whole raid takes a burst of damage.
- Garothi Decimator: The raid should be spread, to make it easier for players affected by Decimation to move away from other players.
- Garothi Demolisher: The raid should be stacked in a ranged and a melee group, making it easier to split the damage of Demolish.

- Overview - Kin'garoth alternates between his Construction and Deployment phases, creating Fel Reavers to fuel the Legions war machine. Upon reaching 100 energy, Kin'garoth enters the Construction phase and casts Apocalypse Protocol, which begins building 3 Fel Reavers while the automated defenses of his work shop rain death upon his enemies. During the Deployment phase, Kin'garoth joins his creations in combat until he regains enough energy to activate Apocalypse Protocol and enter his Construction phase.
