WoW Cataclysm - Ozumat Boss Guide

Tales of the monstrous kraken that terrorized Azeroth's high seas were once dismissed as mere legends... until now. Through some dark and sinister means, the naga have managed to subjugate Ozumat, the patriarch of all kraken, and have turned him into a deadly weapon at their command. This colossal creature, with its endless tentacles and overwhelming strength, has been unleashed against Neptulon, the guardian of the deep, and his loyal followers.

Neptulon, renowned for his mastery over the waters and his immense power, now faces an unprecedented threat. Ozumat is not merely a monster from the depths; he is the embodiment of ancient maritime terrors, a being whose mere presence can alter the course of battle in the oceans. The alliance between the naga and Ozumat not only endangers Neptulon's underwater realm but also threatens to unleash chaos upon all creatures that inhabit the seas of Azeroth. The war in the depths has begun, and the fate of the oceans hangs by a thread.

Players initiate this encounter by conversing with Neptulon, agreeing to defend him while he purges the waters around him. If Neptulon perishes, the encounter resets. Stage one lasts 60 seconds.
