Kings' Rest Battle for Azeroth Dungeon Guide - Boss Strategies and Loot List

Kings' Rest
Few places in Zandalar are more sacred than Kings' Rest. Every king, conqueror, or tyrant who has held control of the Zandalari empire is housed within this great city of the dead to protect and honor not only their bodies, but also their spirits.

Entry has historically been restricted solely to the Zandalari priesthood and royalty, but as Zul's dark magic winds its way through the tomb you must venture inside and put an end to the darkness that has found purchase there.

The Golden Serpent
Kings' Rest has come under attack before. After a foolish troll tried to summon Hakkar the Soulflayer to this island many millennia ago, the priests of Zandalar created a mighty construct to defend this tomb. The Golden Serpent has stood against intruders ever since, judging who is worthy to enter these sacred halls.

• Overview - The Golden Serpent spits gold at party members, who then leave it behind in the form of Molten Gold. The Golden Serpent will later animate these pools of gold with Lucre's Call. Kill the animated molten gold before it reaches him to avoid having it empower him with Luster.

Mchimba the Embalmer
There was once a caste of Zandalari whose purpose was to preserve and defend the remains of past rulers.

Golems were summoned for the grim work of preservation and burial; they have been used ever since.

• Overview - The battle will begin with one of the three councilors - the order that the councilors join the battle changes from week to week.
  
  When a councilor is defeated, they will return to their urn and the next will join the encounter. However, the defeated councilor will periodically rejoin the battle to use a single ability, and then return to their urn.
  
  When all three councilors are defeated, the encounter ends.
