As with most speed runs, make sure you have a well-balanced party, but also take reliable players that you know will remain focused and won't die to avoidable things. Minimize all possible RL distractions that could cause an afk. Try to get as many key synergistic buffs as possible covered in your party--Brama di Sangue/Eroismo/Distorsione Temporale is great, as well as a form of CC, replenishment, possibly an in-combat rez, Trucchi del Mestiere for chain-pulling, and Ruggito Impetuoso for speed boosts. Remember to bring a Tavoletta dei Troll to complete Vudù di Zul'aman which will grant Potenza degli Amani.

Map out your route in advance instead of wasting time during the timed event discussing the strategy. Loot items without fuss instead of debating their merits--you can trade the items after the event is over--and save the special chest items, gold, and hex sticks until after the run is complete. Most importantly--don't panic and lose focus. It's possible to pull an extra scout or lose a player to a sloppy trash pull and still win if you recover quickly.

Combat Tips

When starting the encounter, you will have 15 minutes. After killing the initial pack by the gong, mount up and head down the left staircase towards Akil'zon, skipping the trash that patrols between the central staircases, as well as the pair of mobs at the foot of the hill to Akil'zon's altar. When activating Akil'zon's gauntlet, drag several groups of Vagavento Amani'shi and Protettore Amani'shi up the hill instead of fighting two at a time, taking care to interrupt Catena di Guarigione. Engage the Tempesta Amani'shi at the top of the stairs as soon as possible to prevent new mobs from spawning.

Defeating Akil'zon will add 5 minutes to the timer. Chain pull the trash packs to Nalorakk, taking care to once again avoid the initial patrols, riding on the grassy hill between the two staircases if necessary. If you stun their mounts at roughly 30%, Araldo della Guerra Amani'shis on Nalorakk's altar will not dismount and add precious seconds to your time spent in combat. Defeating Nalorakk will add 5 minutes to the timer as well.

In addition to being on top of killing the Esploratore Amani'shis on the way to Jan'alai, patrols with low HP that summon extra mobs if not killed quickly, you must master handling the previously skippable Ierofante Zandalari and Forzuto Zandalari, nasty trash mobs that are immune to CC. The Zandalari Juggernaut is buffed with Placca Tettonica which triggers Scossa Sismica Minore--move away! They can also cast Richiamo Ancestrale. Both mobs can cast Benedizione di Zandalar which makes them immune to damage. They are then buffed with Gloria degli Zandalari, which allows them to cast various uninterruptable sigil debuffs on the party: Sigillo della Morte, Sigillo delle Fiamme, and . The longer they stay alive, the greater chance they have to stack debuffs on party members which will drain a healer's mana and slow down the party. These debuffs can be removed without causing additional damage to the player via self-immunities.

There is much less trash on the way to Halazzi in 4.1 and much can be skipped save for a patrol with Crocolisco Amani Domato and Domatore di Bestie Amani'shi by the lake. If you have a Death Knight, you can skip this pack too by using Sentiero di Ghiaccio to ride over the lake. Don't aoe and aggro extra neutral Crocolisco Amani though. Interrupt the Beast Tamer's Addomesticamento.

The path curving around Halazzi's altar is now a gauntlet with three spawn points for packs of Lince Amani--continue running through instead of AOEing one group down at at time. Use cooldowns on the tank and heavily AOE multiple sets down at the base of the stairs by the entrance to Halazzi's room.

Decide in advance if you plan on killing Halazzi's Totem dell'Acqua or moving him away from the green healing circle. Split dps is bad. It's riskier, but to save time, keep up the Water Totem and have everyone stand in its Flusso Ristoratore and ignore the Spirito della Lince. Your party will take extra damage, but the healing from standing in the Refreshing Stream will help offset it and you will ultimately save some time by continuing to focus Halazzi. Your tank must be alert and keep dragging Halazzi out of the green puddles so that he doesn't heal.

If you fail the timer, it's not the end of the world. Your group can continue requeuing for a "Random Rise of the Zandalari Heroic" and have unlimited attempts per day.

If you successfully complete the timed run, free Kasha the prisoner inside Halazzi's room. She will run around spawning piles of gold and eventually blast open an urn to reveal Sacca di Kasha. Inside is a Orso da Battaglia Amani for one lucky player to win the roll on.

Enjoy your bear!
