WoW Dragonflight - Larodar Boss Guide

In the tangled depths of the ancient forest, where trees stand tall and secrets intertwine in every corner, lies a dark presence that cleaves through the silence with its fury. Larodar, known as the Keeper of the Flame, once the revered protector of this sacred haven. However, the tempting whispers of power consumed his noble heart, leaving behind only an echo of the goodness that once resided within him.

Now, engulfed in eternal flames that devour his being, Larodar stands as a formidable threat within the very sanctuary he swore to protect. His twisted figure strides through the paths, each step resonating with the promise of destruction. Leaves crunch beneath his tread, while flames dance with infernal frenzy around him.

No corner of the Dream is safe from his fiery wrath. Larodar, with his overflowing power, yearns to reduce to ashes all that was once sacred and pure. The intrepid adventurers who dare to challenge him will face the unleashed fury of this corrupted guardian, whose sole purpose now is chaos and annihilation. In his incandescent gaze burns the promise of endless darkness, and in his presence, the echo of a nobler time fades into the crackling of flames.

Larodar, Keeper of the Flame Abilities

Stage One 

Seed of Life: The Seed of Life lies dormant with zero energy. Renewed Treants channel Nature's Gift, causing the seed to blossom.

1.  Dream Blossom: The Seed of Life blossoms from Renewed Treants' life energy, allowing 3 players to interact, forming a magical bond with the seed. Each bonded player expels emerald magic, dousing Burning Ground and Scorching Roots, draining energy from the Seed of Life.

2.  Fiery Force of Nature: Larodar summons Fiery Treants.

Fiery Treant: Fiery Treants seek to spread flame throughout the temple and leave behind Burning Ground. When killed, they transform into a Charred Treant.

1.  Blistering Splinters: Fiery Treant's melee strikes break splinters off in their target, inflicting 8,859 Fire damage every 1 sec for 15 sec. This effect stacks.

2.  Fiery Flourish: Fiery Treants expel flames, inflicting 110,740 Fire damage to enemies within 12 yards.

3.  Explosive Bark: Larodar's minions die in an explosion of fiery bark, each inflicting 88,592 Fire damage to enemies within 3 yards.

Charred Treant: Charred Treants are inert and can be healed. When they reach full health, they transform into a Renewed Treant.

Renewed Treant: Friendly Renewed Treants channel Nature's Gift, sacrificing their own life to empower the Seed of Life.

1.  Nature's Gift: Renewed Treants channel their own life force into the Seed of Life, gifting it energy but reducing their own maximum health by 3% every 1 sec.

2.  Scorching Roots: Larodar summons Scorching Roots.

Scorching Roots: Scorching Roots fixate on random players, pursuing them relentlessly and speeding over time. When killed, they transform into Charred Brambles.

1.  Scorching Bramblethorn: Scorching Roots strangle enemies they come in contact with fiery brambles, inflicting 22,148 Fire damage every 2 sec and rooting them in place for 10 sec.

Charred Brambles: Charred Brambles are inert and can be healed. When they reach full health, they transform into a Renewed Bramble Barrier.

Renewed Bramble Barrier: Renewed Bramble Barriers provide protection against Raging Inferno. When destroyed, they erupt in Explosive Bark.

1.  Nature's Bulwark: Reduces damage taken from Raging Inferno by 90%.

2.  Furious Charge: Larodar focuses his fury and charges at his target, inflicting up to 1.5 million Physical and 797,330 Fire damage, knocking them away and applying Nature's Fury. This damage decreases based on distance from Larodar. Larodar inflicts an additional 177,184 Physical damage to enemies caught in his path, knocking them back.

3.  Nature's Fury: Larodar's fury takes a heavy toll on his target, increasing Physical damage taken by 50% for 20 sec. This effect begins at 10 stacks and decreases in stacks over time.

4.  Blazing Thorns: Larodar bursts a spiral of eruptions inflicting 221,481 Fire to players within 1 yard of each impact, knocking them back. Upon reaching their destination, the spiral returns to Larodar.

5.  Raging Inferno: Upon reaching 100 energy, Larodar releases his unbridled rage as waves of flames, inflicting 664,442 Fire damage to enemies every 2 sec for 6 sec. Standing behind a Renewed Bramble Barrier reduces this damage by 90%. Larodar gains a stack of Combusting Presence after Raging Inferno ends.

6.  Combusting Presence: Larodar's very presence combusts the air around him, inflicting 13,289 Fire damage every 1.5 sec to all enemies and causes him to leave behind Burning Ground. Larodar gains a stack after channeling Raging Inferno.

7.  Burning Ground: The temple blazes with patches of flame, inflicting 66,444 Fire damage every 1.5 sec. Larodar's Combusting Presence, his Fiery Treants and Scorching Roots, and these flame patches spread Burning Ground further. Dream Blossoms douse the flames, extinguishing these patches.

Intermission

1.  Consuming Flame: After 3 casts of Raging Inferno, Larodar draws upon the surrounding flames for 16 sec, radiating 44,296 Fire damage to all players every 0.5 sec, pulling players towards him. Additionally, the Keeper inflicts 66,444 Fire damage to players within 3 yards. These flames combust Larodar, transforming him into the Avatar of Ash.

Stage Two

1.  Falling Embers: Larodar releases a fistful of embers that fall from the sky, inflicting 88,592 Fire damage to players within 3 yards of the impact locations. Embers that fail to hit a player inflict 221,481 Fire damage to all players, applying a stack of Searing Ash.

2.  Flash Fire: Larodar attempts to purge several players in a flash of fire, causing them to absorb 307,933 healing for 8 sec. Each player erupts after 8 sec, inflicting 88,592 Fire damage to players within 8 yards. If the absorb is not healed before expiring, Flash Fire also applies Encased in Ash to players hit.

Encased in Ash: Players encased in ash are stunned for 10 sec.

1.  Fire Whirl: Larodar focuses his rage into violent tornados that orbit the arena, inflicting 88,592 Fire damage every 0.5 sec to players standing within, knocking them back.

2.  Smoldering Backdraft: Larodar's ashen husk unleashes a brutal backdraft of flames, inflicting 531,553 Fire damage in a frontal cone, applying Smoldering Suffocation.

3.   Smoldering Suffocation: Suffocates a player reducing healing received by 100% and inflicting 88,592 Fire damage every 1 sec for 18 sec. Additionally, this effect leeches 22,148 health from allies within 6 yards each 1 sec.

4.  Ashen Call: Larodar calls upon the ashes of his fallen Treants.

Ashen Treant: Ashen Treants erupt with Explosive Bark and Burning Ground when killed.

1.  Searing Ash: Larodar radiates Searing Ash every 12 sec, inflicting 1,107 Fire damage every 1 sec. This effect stacks.

2.  Burning Ground: The temple blazes with patches of flame, inflicting 66,444 Fire damage every 1.5 sec. Larodar's Combusting Presence, his Fiery Treants and Scorching Roots, and these flame patches spread Burning Ground further. Dream Blossoms douse the flames, extinguishing these patches.
