This is one of the bosses in Blackwing Descent. He is Nefarian's alchemist. Responsible for creating Atramedes, Chimaeron, and Onyxia as well.

He has a 6 minute enrage, and roughly 24 million hp on normal 10. He has 34.6 million hp on heroic 10 man.

This guy has a damn creepy voice, it's incredibly befitting.

He reminds me of Vulgrim from Darksiders.. He looks like some kind of merchant. In my opinion.

Commento di Prototyp3

Blue phase: Spread out.
Red phase: stack in front of the boss with the tank.
Green phase: stack all the adds together and AoE. DO NOT STACK IT AT THE BOSS.

The hardest part is aoeing the adds in the green phase and have enough time to dps the boss down.

Commento di 397133

Mages make sure to spellsteal his Remedy, make a stopcasting macro with spellsteal. It will keep you alive in the last phase, and throughout the fight (if you're fast enough) you will not even have to evocate once, as it provides some very good mana regen.

Commento di Kalx

When you kill this guy on heroic, you get the title "Slayer of Stupid, Incompetent, and Disappointing Minions", however, it's only temporary.

How to: Maloriak normal

Assign one person to interrupt arcane storm
Assign one person to dispel buff during green phase
Assign one or two kiters for aberrations (tanks/frost DKs in BP work best), use hunter frost traps/Frost DKs chillblains to kite them around
Only release 2 or 3 sets of adds for each green phase (4 if you want the achiev). The boss casts release aberrations 4 times before every green phase, so make sure you interrupt only one or two or youll have a %^&* ton of adds during the burn phase.
If you are having trouble kiting in 10man, try this. Let the first set of adds go through, have your offtank tank 2 off them and single target them down one by one (some dps with taunt just get them off). The bosses enrage timer isnt really strict, so you can kill some adds with single target dps between green phases if you are struggling with too many adds.

Boss starts in no phase at all, just interrupt arcane storm and first (and maybe second) set of add spawn.
Red OR frost phase comes first.
If its red, everyone move to a cone (tank turn boss around) so breath damage spreads.
If its blue, everyone spread and kill frozen players after healing them.

While the red/blue phases are going on, the kiters just kite the aberrations around, just DONT KITE UNDER BOSS.

After red or blue, comes the other one, and third green. Gather adds under boss, aoe like ¤)=(/#()¤# and hopefully youll kill all the adds. If you dont, spread the adds and single target them down (they dont hit too hard solo).

Keep on doing this until 25% (or 20 cant remember), when Maloriak releases all remaining adds + 2 big adds (prime subjects, which have a fixate that lasts 7 DAYS btw : D). Hopefully youll have killed most of the aberrations by now, just burn the boss down, tank the big adds, avoid fires and frost orbs and enjoy loot.

Commento di asvo007

If you have a rogue in your raid, and having a hard time interrupting the Release Aberrations, the rogue can use Mind Numbling Poison to slow the cast speed of the boss.

Dunno if it's a bug or working as intended.

Strategy Guide:

Below, I have written a guide on the abilities and how we defeated this boss.

Our Group:

Tanks - | Druid | Death Knight |
Healers - | Paladin | Druid | Priest |
DPS - | Rogue | Hunter | Shaman | Mage | SPriest |

General Boss Information:

This boss is a general tank and spank with 2 phases and 3 sub-phases in phase 1.
He spawns adds in the back of the room 3 at a time. There are 18 small adds and 2 large ones. The large ones release at 25%.
He throws vials into his cauldron, which brings upon the phase transition.
There are 3 different colored vials; Red, Blue and Green. The green one will always be third, with either the blue or red one first, and then the other second.

Boss Abilities:

Throughout the fight, Maloriak will cast Arcane Storm which deals damage to the whole raid. Have a designated interrupter for this.
He will also cast Release Aberrations periodically which needs to be interrupted or cast depending on your situation. You need to have 9 aberrations for each green phase, so plan accordingly.
BOTH of these abilities can be slowed by Slow, Curse of Tongues, etc... so do that
The last thing he will cast is Remedy which will heal Maloriak. This needs to be dispelled or spell stolen.

---Phase 1:

Red Vial - When Maloriak throws a red vial into the cauldron, everyone in the raid needs to stack up due to Scorching Blast which deals damage to everyone in a frontal cone. The damage is split amongst everyone in it. Along with this he will cast Consuming Flames. When this happens, that raid member needs to move away from the blast zone of his breath to avoid death, and then back in after the debuff dissipates.
Blue Vial - When Maloriak throws a blue vial into the cauldron, everyone in the raid needs to spread out due to Flash Freeze, a Kel'Thuzad mechanic that chains to anyone close by. It has 5,000 health and must be destroyed before the player can be freed.
Green Vial - When Maloriak throws a green vial into the cauldron, the vial explodes and everything in the room (Adds, Boss and Raiders) becomes coated in a Debilitating Slime which gets rid of any Growth Catalysts and causes a 100% damage taken increase.
Phase one will last for 2 cycles of all 3 vials.

---Phase 2:

When Maloriak reaches 25% health, he will enter phase 2.
During the transition into phase 2, Maloriak will release all of his remaining minions. The two large ones need to be tanked by the off tank.
Once he has transitioned into phase 2, he will gain 3 new abilities. (Below)
Fire - He will periodically cast Magma Jets on the MT. He will face the target beforehand and this can be strafed out of. It also knock the target into the air, causing fall damage.
Frost - He will also cast Biting Chill which is an orb summoned below the target and slowly drops to the ground, exploding on impact.
Poison - Finally, he will cast Acid Nova which will hit the whole raid and do AoE damage. This must simply just be healed through.

Strategy:

Tank Maloriak close to his cauldron.
Stack for red, spread out for blue. AoE adds during green.
Get 9 adds per phase.
Save Bloodlust for phase 2 and burn him ASAP.
He has a tight enrage timer so you need to time the second adds to die close to 25% and then burn him.

I wish you the best of luck, and feel free to critique my post and ask any questions.

@mwaf Yes, that is correct. However, we have a slow mechanic on the boss which makes his casts longer and he interrupts himself by going to throw in a vial.

Commento di RolandDeschain

Is there some trick to picking up the Prime Subjects @ 25%? They seem to randomly Fixate on someone, and it can't be interrupted; they're also immune to taunt as of last night, 12/29/10, on my Warrior which was off-tanking. I had one, but could not for the life of me get the other, which decided to Fixate on the main tank, eventually causing a wipe. Do they need to be picked up within X seconds or they Fixate on someone, or something? It's literally a 187-hour cast/channel, according to my UI. No amount of threat was grabbing it, and the main tank was purposely avoiding AoE; I wasn't being out-threated.

Commento di 750577

This boss is currently bugged as of 12/30/10 he doesnt get a chance to cast his first release abberations because as he casts it he goes into his first vial phase.

Commento di pthor1234

Unholy DKs - You can get a full 120 RP, not to mention lessening your healer's load, by popping Anti Magic Shield when he casts the Release Aberrations spell in the Red phase. I have found that he is almost assured to cast Scorching Blast very shortly after that.

Commento di indore

I am wondering if anyone is noticing different behavior from Maloriak in BWD starting last night? We killed him Monday 1/3/10 night with the following behavior:

1. He would always cast 5 release aberrations...always
2. When we got to the second green vial with our 9 aberrations we would Lust, burn the last 9 down fast, me as the of tank would grab the two Prime Subjects immediately and we killed him with no enrage issues at all.

Last night's behavior 1/4/10:

1. In the first round on our first attempt he only did 4 casts of release aberration. This threw us off from our usual "interrupt 2, let 3 cast" so thus I had 6 in the first round and 12 in the second. Wiped. We went again, only 4 casts again. So then we changed to 1 and 3...that time he did do 5 casts which our interrupter caught the 5th cast and we were fine there, but then in the second round 4 casts came and I only had 6, so I ended up with too few during the green burn, we wiped.
- note the boss was not moving around anymore or less than Monday night...I have heard that his movement can interrupt the aberration cast but I don't know that for sure.

2. Once we adjusted to a dynamic casting of the aberrations of sometimes 4 and sometimes 5 per round (rather than a static 5), when we got into Phase 2 cleanly several times last night he would enrage really really early. We have been having issues DPSing him too fast and pushing him into phase 2 before he gets the second green vial tossed so we would hold at 30%, let the green vial cast, burn the adds down and I would collect the prime subjects and proceed to burn him phase 2. EVERY TIME he would enrage with about 1.5m hp left. I seriously don't think it is a DPS issue for us because as I said we killed him Monday night with no issue, and we've been having to hold back DPS to let him do his second green vial.

Anyways, I don't see any patch hot fix notes pertaining to Maloriak specifically, but I am wondering if any other raids out there have had issues with seeing different behavior on the Maloriak fight?

We are heading back in there tonight so hopefully I can get some insight on this, or we just head off to learning Atramedes I guess and leave Maloriak alone for now.

Thanks!

Commento di pangeltveit

Actually managed to have too high dps on him today. Twice we reached 25% before he used Green phase for the second time >.<

Commento di kepplerinc

After enrage his fire ability will knock whoever is in front of him into the air. You will take massive damage from both the fire and the resulting fall damage. This is not noted in any of the wowhead ability write-ups and doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere on these posts. The fire is easily kited out of as he will stop for ~1-2s before he casts it. The area of the knock up is the same as the fire that he puts down on the floor after casting it so I would suggest facing him toward the wall to avoid killing other raid members.

Commento di 216282

He looks like the monsters from the Scooby Doo movie. Maybe if we exposed him to sunlight...

Commento di speedmaster

Seems his 25 man enrage timer is now 8 and a half minutes, apparently the 10 man still remains at 6 minutes.

Commento di 710553

A group make up of 2 tanks, 5 dps, and 3 healers, each DPS pulling approx. 12k DPS was not enough to make his enrage timer due to his heals. Dispelling/purging/spellstealing seems to be mandatory right now. DBM has this warning turned off by default, so check your DBM to enable warnings for Remedy.

Commento di 746769

Helpful hint on this guy. We were having a few issues with his remedy ability getting dispelled quickly.

You can have a lock use his fel hunter to automatically get remedy off. The debuff comes off instantly without healing at all.

Commento di rodmin

Giving my feedback as a Holy Paladin who healed through this boss on 10-man normal, and also explaining what i did on each phase and why.

Here's what happened:

We started the pull with 2 tanks (druid on boss, warrior on adds since she could do better aoe threat), 3 healers (holy paladin, resto druid and discipline priest) and other 5 dps. My current and discussed job was to heal the druid with the bacon on the warrior, while helping with aoe damage.

Started the fight with the pull, with no problems until the first potion, red, came up.

We all gathered up, awaiting the aoe damage. At this time, i spammed holy light on the tank and other players who could need to be topped for a Daybreak proc(holy shock will not get CD if used with this). The objective is to get 3 holy power charges ready, and a daybreak proc as well, for when Scorching Blast (huge aoe cone which damage is splitted among everybody) is used. When it happens, i used Light of Dawn (glyphed too btw), then holy shock->LoD->HS->LoD. The reason of all this casting is to have more Protector of the Inocent procs, which heal the warrior tank with the bacon as well.
Another tip would be to activate Divine Protection followed by Holy Radiance, for when the first Arcane Storm starts to be cast and gets interrupted, as it ussually means that the Scorching Blast is coming right after, and you'll get less damage from both abilities, while slightly healing the damage caused by the Arcane Storm and preparing the raid for the incoming damage.

Afterwards came the blue pill, and we spread up. At this time, holy paladins who have both this talent and that talent should save the extra instant exorcism ready to be cast on the player stuck in the ice. The ice has 5k and can be killed (80% of sucess) with the exorcism. If it does happen, you get 2 things: a freed player, and a crusade proc, which gives you a holy light far stronger than the divine light (and cheaper too). But don't keep your eyes off the tanks, top them off and just wait for the Deadly Boss Mods (or other addon, if you have one) announcement.

The green flask is the most relaxing one, at least for us. Just stay away from the boss in the start (head to the designated spot where the adds will be nuked) and keep an eye for the tanks and the rest. When everybody is gathered, use your Holy Radiance to heal everybody, and Holy Wrath to help up with the killing.

When the second phase starts, call your Guardian and keep an eye out both on everyone and the stuff that you have to avoid (watch out for falling frozen orbs!), using your heals on the players that need the most. Activate Holy Radiance when everyone takes damage from the poison aoe, and keep yourself (and the others) alive.

And a final duo of mana-regen tips: use the Plea - Wrath combo during either the blue pill or the green flask if your mana is around 50%-80%, and use your Insight Judgement whenever its CD is off, even when you have full mana. You really should because nothing beats hearing the following on TS from your healer officer during the fight: "Er, all the healers are oom...well, except for "

Red Vial - When Maloriak throws a red vial into the cauldron, everyone in the raid needs to stack up due to Scorching Blast which deals damage to everyone in a frontal cone. The damage is split amongst everyone in it. Along with this he will cast Consuming Flames. When this happens, that raid member needs to move away from the blast zone of his breath to avoid death, and then back in after the debuff dissipates.

This is a good practice, except when Consuming Flames gets put on the Maloriak tank. This happened repeatedly last night. Fortunately we were able to heal through that damage. Alas, other mechanics were a bigger problem.

Commento di pezz

Causes an area around a random target to become suddenly freezing cold, dealing 70687 to 79312 Frost damage to all targets within 0 yards of the target and encasing them in solid ice for 30 sec. When the ice is broken, the targets are released but the breaking ice deals an additional 56550 to 63450 Frost damage to all targets 0 yards around that target, breaking all ice in that area as well.

I'm quoting the text for the 10 man normal (i.e., the weakest) version of Maloriak's Flash Freeze here in full, with the damage numbers bolded, because I've not seen it stressed in these comments enough. Both the application and the removal hit hard. You can kill weaker players if you're a DPS who reacts faster than the healers do. Give your healers a solid two seconds to stabilize the target before you break them out.

Commento di 253536

Are the adds tauntable in the green phase?

If the adds are tauntable, using Army of the Dead would reduce the damage on the tank and make the green phase trivial.

Just wondering, can the aberrations be CC'd?

If so, thats around 20% less tank damage with 2 cc'd out of the group.

We had some fun with his enrage timer on 25man today. Three times he enraged around the 6 minute mark. Then on the fourth time we took almost 7 minutes to kill him, no enrage. Whut?

Commento di Vandraine

Downed this last night on Gundrak-US, 10 man Normal.

Tanks - Prot Warrior, Feral Druid, Prot Paladin
Healers - Resto Druid, Holy Paladin
DPS - Ele Shaman, Enh Shaman, Boomkin, Demon Lock, Arcane Mage

After 4-5 attempts we got familiar with the mechanics and downed it fairly easily.

Formed a triangle with the cauldron, warrior tanked the boss there. Druid and Paladin near the vials that Aberrations spawn at.

Kept one shaman interrupting Arcane Storm, the other on release aberrations, warrior on backup interrupt.

Set the Resto druid on warrior tank/Raid and the Hpally on Offtanks/Raid.

To deal with the adds, we released the first 3 sets of aberrations, split them 4 / 5 on our druid and paladin tanks then interrupted every other cast of release aberrations until the Green Vial stage.

Red Vial - Raid stacked on warrior tank, raid member that recieves consuming flames runs out of the stack. Pop any defensive CDs such as Mirror of Broken Images to help out the healing.

Blue Vial - Spread out, watch for Flash Freeze.

Green Vial - Gathered all the aberrations and burnt them down. If any were left after Debilitating Slime wore off, we single targetted them then returned to boss.

On phase 2, both off tanks grabbed a Prime Subject each, popped Time Warp and burnt the boss. We tanked the boss near the right wall. When Maloriak raises his arm, side step him to avoid the flame damage.

Good Luck!

Commento di 347840

We found that on ten man normal mode, placing a Curse of Tongues on him would also stop him from casting the first Release Aberrations before the vial phase since he would run to use the vial mid-cast and interrupt himself. This meant we only needed to interrupt the second Release Aberrations in the first red/blue vial phase (letting the next 3 out since the first was interrupted by moving) once and then we no longer needed to interrupt for the rest of the fight.

Made this mechanic quite trivial to be honest.

(Note that we had an assassination rogue so we didn't lose the 8% dmg buff)

This has been hotfixed, Maloriak will no longer interrupt himself when switching phases.

Also he will no longer interrupt himself on his add summon cast due to choosing a vial.

He also now drops three heroic leg tokens of whatever variety he desires, and is the only source instead of having one drop from Chimaeron, Atramedes and Maloriak.

Did this last night with guild, our first kill. Went into enrage timer for about 30-40 seconds healers commented the damage was increased but easily healed through (dunno if this was a bug as we expected to get wiped once the timer hit)

Setup: Tanks DK and Pally (Pally on adds)
3 healers: Druid, Priest and Pally
5dps: Hunter, rogue, Boomkin, Arms & Fury warrior

Remedy was tranq shotted by me (Hunter) alot easier than spellstealing or dispelling. Dont forget he casts it in green phase also and in phase 2 when hes been kited around the room!

Hope any of this info helped!

Commento di Dagnet

Apparently his cast for Release Aberrations has been slowed a bit in 4.0.6, making it much easier to interrupt.
Edit: from 1sec cast without Curse of Tongues to 1.5sec, 1.9sec with Curse of Tongues.

We always release 9 adds pr green phase. Having hunter's dispell Remedy is pri 1. Having 9 adds is pri 2. Beside that a overall simple and easy boss.

Is it a viable option to interrupt ALL Release Aberrations casts during phase 1 and then kite all of the adds when they spawn during phase 2? I know that would be 18 adds and it would be tough, but is it possible or is there some kind of mechanism that prevents them from being kited? I've never attempted this boss so I'm just wondering.

Commento di 620365

I have read through all the comments and watched one video, and I don't see any mention of WHY you need 9 adds (one post said 6, though 9 seems to be the consensus) at the green phase. Can anyone explain the reasoning?

Commento di yuriken

By ilikepretzels (Patch 4.0.6)
I have read through all the comments and watched one video, and I don't see any mention of WHY you need 9 adds (one post said 6, though 9 seems to be the consensus) at the green phase. Can anyone explain the reasoning?

He will release 18 small adds () and 2 more large adds () in total. Usually by 25% time, you have encountered 2 green vial phases (which are the ideal times to kill adds since they lose their stacking buff.) If you *don't* kill the small adds and control their influx correctly prior to 25%, all remaining of the 18 will spawn in addition to the larger adds. Given the extra raid damage going out due to fire, frost, and poison damage, your healers probably would have a hard time healing the tank through all of these adds, due to their stacking buff when near each other.

Thus, with 2 green vial phases and 18 adds possible to handle *prior* to the large adds at 25%, most groups decide to divide them evenly into groups of 9. This doesn't mean you can't do 12 and 6 or some other combination - but from experience I can tell you that it becomes difficult to manage that many as a tank, even one with good mobility. That's why most guides tell you 9 and 9. I'm guessing a guide recommending 6 and 12 is aiming for the Aberrant Behavior achievement.

At the 25% mark, when he summons the remaining s and the 2 s, your raid will be focusing dps on the boss and won't be trying to kill the adds so it is more again for the healers (and tank) to handle.

Commento di yuriken

From the perspective of a Warrior tank on this fight, there are some nice advantages.

If you are the main tank on , your normal rotation will include Shield Slam, which will dispel . Your raid may not even realize that no one is dispelling if you are able to hit it quick enough. Of course, it will always be on cooldown as it is a standard part of your rotation, so you may be waiting for it to cooldown or for a Sword and Board proc.

If you are kiting, the can be dazed, slowed, and stunned. This means that you can be assisted by Hunter Ice Trap, Warlock Shadowfury, Shaman Earthbind Totem, etc. Additionally, abilities like you may have used when kiting Zombie Chow adds for the Gluth encounter can come in handy: Shockwave and possibly talented Piercing Howl. Finally don't forget about mobility: your own Heroic Leap, Intervene (to a nearby friend,) Charge/Intercept (with Warbringer talented) to a freshly spawned and faraway ...or a happy friendly Priest with "Life Grip" (Leap of Faith,) talented Body and Soul, etc. These adds typically run at full speed, so you'll want to make use of tools to stay ahead and reduce the damage. If enough of them are stacked together with their buff, you can still get gibbed quickly even as a tank.

Commento di 537709

Not sure if anyone mentioned this but Frost Grenade works on the adds (at least on 10-man normal mode, from my experience). We don't have a frost mage in our team so these grenades, with short cd, can be quite nice for ccing adds whenever they are off cooldown (engineers-only though).

Commento di Blackbear

It should be noted for guilds attempting Maloriak on Heroic that the Scorching Blast can be almost completely mitigated by a Protection Paladin's Ardent Defender, however, for whatever reason, Guardian Spirit will fail if used in the same situation.

Iv been looking and nowhere can i find the scripts to this guys amazing voice. I want to add his voiceover to som of my characters but i dont know what the script is, anyone else been able to find them?

Commento di ZelosRaine

From a Disc priest:

Maloriak is a fun encounter, challenging in a having a variety of abilities, but not terribly challenging in that those abilities are mostly weak/avoidable.

As is the case with virtually all tier 2 raid bosses, we cannot heal this fight if the tanks and dps do not avoid damage/interrupt correctly. To be clear: All lighting aoe casts should be interrupted immediately; three of the add summon casts (per green vial phase) should be allowed. Tricks include interrupting the first add summon and letting the next three through so that the off tank spends as little time with 9 adds on him as possible.

You should be able to comfortably keep a shield on both tanks while healing your assigned tank, do so. The healing changes greatly depending on the phase so I will simply list them all:

Red Phase: Obviously, everyone but the off tank must stack. The boss' cast order is as follows: melee, fire debuff, lightning storm, fire aoe, rinse and repeat. This means that, if you cast your PW:B right before the lightning aoe (the timing will come with experience), you can mitigate it and the fire blast once per red phase, greatly decreasing healing requirements. The only really dangerous part of this phase is if the tank gets the fire debuff. He can't run out, so he must be spammed to full, and then spammed back to full by all healers. Pain Suppression should be saved for this, just in case. It really isn't that bad, but you do need to do it if it happens.

Blue Phase: Obviously everyone needs to spread out. At least one healer should be calling when to break the ice block in vent. Your best choice here is to PW:S the person, virtually ensuring that, even if they are broken early, they still won't die. A Penance or Greater Heal should take care of the rest (assuming other healers are helping too).

Green Phase: Remember to get the heck away from the boss so that you don't get knocked around. Your tank and the off tank will take some big hits for a while because of the increased damage debuff. This is a great time to pop your first Shadowfiend as he will do nice damage and your mana should be about ready for a boost.

Final Phase: If your dps has been good about dispelling/spell stealing Remedy and your off-tank was quick about getting the Prime Subjects, you should have plenty of time to nuke him down. Healing is very easy during this phase if the tank faces him to a wall, and then kites him to another spot on the wall after fire breath. I usually just Smite heal this phase after PW:S tanks.

Commento di TMWNN

My raid has been working on heroic Maloriak. Because nine adds hit the add tank for ridiculous amounts of damage, we have been releasing three adds before the first dark phase, then killing them along with the Vile Swills.

The strategy works, but while Maloriak always casts one Arcane Storm before the first dark phase, he does not necessarily cast Release Aberrations beforehand. If he instead casts Remedy or doesn't cast anything at all, everyone should run out to reset the boss; sometimes multiple resets may be needed before adds get released properly.

Commento di Sakiara

Alternatively, one could simply continue with the fight and go through one green phase with 9 adds up. It is certainly easier to take 3 aberrations with the 5 swills, but your raid should be prepared to handle bad RNG. As long as you have a reliable snare going out on the adds, it isn't actually that hard. Your add tank should be kiting more than tanking. No DPS should really be attacking the aberrations either, unless they are misdirecting or using tricks of the trade to help stabilize the add pile (or if their snare does damage), so threat isn't much of an issue. As a prot pally, I basically run them in circles in front of the stairs on an ice trap and hammer of the righteous them every 4~5 seconds. When all nine are successfully on the trap, I blow my 50% damage reduction cooldown, which with the 4-piece bonus tends to end just a few seconds before green phase. Remember that this is one of those fights where keeping the tank(s) alive is really a group effort.

Stage One: Mustn't Fail Again!

Periodically, Maloriak throws various vials into his cauldron, causing different effects. The first two Vials will be Red then Blue or Blue then Red, followed by Green, then the cycle repeats.

Arcane Storm – Maloriak channels an Arcane Storm inflicting 47125 to 52875 Arcane damage per second for 6 sec. to all players.
Remedy – Maloriak heals himself for 150000 health and generates 2000 mana per second for 10 sec. The amount healed increases by 150000 per second.
Red Vial
Maloriak throws a Red Vial into his cauldron, giving him flaming breath. The effects of the Red Vial last for 40 seconds.
- Consuming Flames – Maloriak ignites a random player in flames, inflicting 13500 Fire damage per second for 10 sec. Any magic damage taken by the player while ignited increases the damage Consuming Magic deals by 50% of the magic damage taken.
- Scorching Blast – Maloriak breathes fire, inflicting 2700000 Fire damage divided among all targets in a 70 degree cone up to 60 yards in front of him.
- Release Aberrations – Maloriak releases 3 Aberrations from their growth chambers. These Aberrations then attack the players.
  - [Aberration] – These failed experiments use a Growth Catalyst to increase the damage of nearby allies and reduce their damage taken.
    Growth Catalyst – Each Aberration increases the damage of other Aberrations within 10 yards by 20% and reduces their damage taken by 20%. This effect stacks, and also affects Maloriak and Prime Subjects.
Blue Vial
Maloriak throws a Blue Vial into his cauldron, granting him freezing magic. The effects of the Blue Vial last for 40 seconds.

  When the ice breaks, the targets are released but the breaking ice inflicts an additional 84825 to 95175 Frost damage to all players within 5 yards around that target, breaking all ice in that area.
- Release Aberrations – Maloriak releases 3 Aberrations from their growth chambers. These Aberrations then attack the players.
  - [Aberration] – These failed experiments use a Growth Catalyst to increase the damage of nearby allies and reduce their damage taken.
    Growth Catalyst – Each Aberration increases the damage of other Aberrations within 10 yards by 20% and reduces their damage taken by 20%. This effect stacks, and also affects Maloriak and Prime Subjects.
Green Vial
Maloriak throws a Green Vial into his cauldron. The mixture explodes and cancels the Growth Catalyst on the Aberrations. The effects of the Green Vial last for 40 seconds.
- Debilitating Slime – Slime sprays out from the cauldron, coating every unit in the room. The slime increases all damage taken by 100% and temporarily suppresses any Growth Catalysts. Lasts 15 sec.

Stage Two: Unpredictable Results

At 25% remaining health, Maloriak stops throwing vials into the cauldron. He deals more melee damage, gains a new set of abilities, and immediately frees all remaining experiments in the growth chambers.

Magma Jets – Maloriak releases a stream of small fire fissures in front of him. These fissures deal 70687 to 79312 Fire damage to all players within 3 yards. The fissures also leave behind a persistent burning effect that inflicts 37700 to 42300 Fire damage to all nearby players.
