How long will it take?Raid Entrance

The simplest way to get there is to port to a convenient city in Kalimdor and take a flight path down to Gadgetzan in Tanaris. From Gadgetzan fly over to the Caverns of Time.

A quicker route is available if you activated the portal to Uldum from your capital city during Wrath or while leveling. Take that portal and from Uldum it is a short flight to the Caverns of Time.

There are two portals which will take you directly to the Caverns. One is available to all players and is found upstairs in the Violet Citadel in Dalaran. The other is only for characters who are Revered with the Keepers of Time. Revered characters can talk to Zefiria in the World's End Tavern in Shattrath and she will port them directly to the Cavern.

Hagara la Tempestosa

To start the encounter click on the Orb in the middle of the Platform. A few waves of trash will spawn, clear them out and Hagara will spawn. The fight won't start until you attack her. You will want to kill her quickly before she starts the four minute long Frost phase. If despite your best efforts she manages to start the Frost phase, just run around and avoid damage until the phase ends. Finish burning her down.
Take the portal back to the Summit.

Back at the summit talk to Kalecgos and let him know of your success. A ritual starts. Thrall says a few things and then invites you to talk to him when you are ready. Talk to Thrall and the ritual continues. Eventually Assalitore del Crepuscolos appear and spray the summit with purple fire. You must kill them. In general you need to use some kind of ranged spell to kill them or pull them to the ground. Once the Twilight Assualters are dead Deathwing will appear and then leave. Finally Ultraxion will fly in.

UltraxionMaestro di Guerra Corno NeroDraco d'Assalto del Crepuscolo

Stand in the Furia del Crepuscolo - Periodically Goriona will cast Twilight Onslaught on the ship, you need to stand in the ground effect to soak up the damage

Kill the Geniere del Crepuscolos - The Sappers are dropped onto the ship. They must be killed before they reach the cabin and damage the ship. They will stealth when they land but are still targetable. A macro works well here:

Spine of DeathwingSpine of Deathwing is more complicated than the other encounters in Dragon Soul. My strategy is below. There are other ways to complete this fight, but this is what works for me.

The goal of Spine of Deathwing is to loosen three scales on Deathwing's back so he will stop flying and land, making it possible to kill him in the next encounter. You loosen his scales by making Hideous Amalgamations explode on his back.

There are four mobs you have have to deal with in this encounter:
Corruzione - These tentacles sprout from Deathwing's back. When they die they leave a hole in his back.
Sangue Corrotto - These are fiery globules that spawn regularly from the holes left when you kill Corruption.
Amalgama Malvagio - One spawns each time you kill a corruption.
Tendini Brucianti - Spawns after the Hideous Amalgamation explodes near the front of Deathwing's back. It holds the scale onto Deathwing's back.

Key Mechanics:
Deathwing's roll - Deathwing will try to roll over to throw you off his back. He will roll to the side you are standing on. His roll is announced ("He's about to roll right!") about 10 seconds before he rolls. Another announcement lets you know when the roll is completed ("Deathwing rolls right!"). If he rolls and you are not anchored to a Corruption hole you will be thrown off his back and die. His roll can be interrupted by moving to the other side of his back. If you interrupt his roll you will have about 10 seconds before he rolls again. This means you can move continuously back and forth across his back preventing him from completing a roll. Groups of two or more players can prevent rolling by having one or more players on either side of the spine.
Tentacoli Ghermitori - When a Corruption dies it leaves a hole. If you stand on the hole Tendrils will emerge and anchor you to the hole (You can see the tendrils). If you are anchored to the hole you will not be thrown off when Deathwing rolls.
Sangue Assorbito - When you kill the Corrupted Bloods they leave behind a residue. If a Hideous Amalgamation walks over the residue the Amalgamation will gain of stack of Absorbed Blood. These stacks increase the Amalgamation's power. The Amalgamation can gain up to 9 stacks of Absorbed Blood. If it dies with 9 stacks it will cause a Detonazione Nucleare which strong enough to dislodge a scale and expose a Burning Tendon.

The FightA. Clear the Back

Kill all but one of the Corruptions. They will spawn Hideous Amalgamations. Don't kill them.

Run over to one of the holes left by a Corruption. Stand on the hole. Tendrils will emerge and anchor you to the hole

You should see an announcement that Deathwing is going to roll. Stay where you are, if you are not anchored when he rolls you will die. When he rolls he will throw the Hideous Amalgamations off of his back.

B. Collect and Kill Bloods

Stay on the hole and let the Corrupted Bloods collect on you, don't kill them

When you have 9 Corrupted Bloods on you wait until a roll completes and then move to the middle of the back. The Bloods will follow you

Kill them in the middle of the back. Moving right and left as needed to interrupt the rolls

C. Stack and Kill Amalgamation; Kill Tendon

Kill the last Corruption. A hideous amalgamation will spawn and come to you. Move him over the the dead Bloods until he has nine stacks of Absorbed Blood. If he has less than 9 stacks you can kill more corruptions to add to the stacks. Just remember to keep moving to interrupt the rolls.

When the Amalgamation is at nine stacks drag him as far forward as possible. The Amalgamation has to be next to scale when it explodes

Kill the Amalgamation. Keep moving

The Amalgamation will explode, loosening the scale and exposing the Burning Tendon. You have about 20 seconds to kill the Tendon.

Madness of Deathwing

This fight occurs on four platforms loosely arranged from north to south. For the purposes of this guide I'll refer to the Platforms by number with Platform One being the northernmost platform, Platform Two being the next one south, etc.

Deathwing puts an Tentacolo dell'Arto or Tentacolo dell'Ala on each platform. Your job is to destroy each Tentacle and, when he collapses, kill his head. The fight changes based on the platforms you have defeated therefore the order is important. The order below is what works for me, but other strategies will work.

To move to another Platform just run off the edge of your current Platform. You will be levitated to the next Platform. Be sure to run off the middle of the Platform. If you are too close to either end and you will fall off and die.

Start the fight on Platform Three (the one Thrall is standing on)

Kill Deathwing's Tentacle and move north to Platform Two

Kill the Tentacle on Platform Two and move to Platform One

Kill the Tentacle on Platform One

Run all the way down to Platform Four and kill the Tentacle there

Deathwing will drop his jaw on Platform Three. DPS the jaw down to complete the encounter and the raid.

Using v(Show Enemy Name Plates) makes it easy to keep track of how many bloods you've got on you. Eggsellent guide!

Great guide, thank you.

Spine of deathwing is a nightmare. There should be an option to be able to skip it if you're running it solo.

Thank you for this guide. Between this and dbm to give me the roll timer, I was finally able to do that blasted fight!
