WoW Cataclysm - Halfus Wyrmbreaker Boss Guide

In the dark and twisted world of the Bastion of Twilight's, the terrifying ettin known as Halfus Wyrmbreaker stands out as a formidable and powerful figure. Endowed with unnatural strength and inhuman stamina by the dark gifts of Cho'gall, Halfus dedicates himself to capturing dragons, turning them into sacrifices for the sinister rituals of his sect. His most deadly tool is a colossal enslaved proto-dragon, which mercilessly hunts down its unfortunate winged prey. Each capture not only strengthens the dark rituals of the Bastion Twilight's but also solidifies Halfus's reputation as one of the most lethal and ruthless hunters ever known. Facing Halfus Wyrmbreaker means confronting an overwhelming combination of brutality and dark magic, a challenge that few have survived and many deeply fear.

Each week, three out of Halfus's five captured dragonkin awaken randomly. Each awakened dragonkin empowers Halfus and his enslaved Proto-Behemoth with an ability. On Heroic difficulty, all five dragonkin awaken, empowering Halfus and his Proto-Behemoth with all possible abilities.

Imprisoned Dragonkin

Halfus has imprisoned a Slate Dragon, a Nether Scion, a Storm Rider, a Time Warden, and a pack of Orphaned Emerald Whelps. They surround him on his platform, wearing bonds of servitude.
