Paragons of the Klaxxi is the thirteenth and penultimate boss encounter of Siege of Orgrimmar.
Background[]
Adventure Guide[]
The nine surviving Klaxxi'va Paragons are ancient champions of the mantid who fought alongside the Wakener against the madness of Empress Shek'zeer. But the paragons, as do all mantid, hold a far deeper loyalty. When Garrosh unearthed the heart of Y'Shaarj, the paragons followed the whispers of their ancient creator to the iron halls beneath Orgrimmar.
Encounter Design[]
After mopping up the August Celestials on the Timeless Isle and “freeing” the Fallen Golden Lotus Protectors from their eternal torment, our intrepid heroes soon come upon the Klaxxi Paragons. Go figure. In any case, players who have achieved Exalted with the Klaxxi faction and paid close attention during the tour of their sacred underground chamber probably saw this one coming.[1]
Overview[]
Three Klaxxi Paragons join the fight at the beginning of the encounter, while the remaining six observe the action from perches above. Each time a Klaxxi Paragon is defeated, any other active Paragons heal to full and the next Klaxxi Paragon leaps down to join the fight. The encounter ends when all nine have been defeated.
Damage Dealers[]
- Defeat the Blood oozes summoned by Skeer's Bloodletting before they can reach their target.
- After Hisek Aims, he Fires, dealing massive damage split among all players in a line with the target.
- When Korven is active, break the shell created by Encase in Amber or the targeted Paragon will be healed.
- Kaz'tik's Hungry Kunchongs instantly devour anyone who touches them, except when feeding on a Mesmerized player.
Healers[]
- Rik'kal's Amber Parasites fixate on different players and deal heavy damage via Feed.
- After Hisek Aims, he Fires, dealing massive damage split among all players in a line with the target.
- Kaz'tik's Hungry Kunchongs instantly devour anyone who touches them, except when feeding on a Mesmerized player.
Tanks[]
- Rik'kal's Injection fails if you have an active mitigation ability in effect, and only spawns Parasites if Rik'kal is still alive when Injection expires.
- Skeer and Rik'kal must be tanked by separate players, as must Xaril and Kil'ruk, as each Paragon afflicts a vulnerability to the other's attacks.
- When a Hungry Kunchong reaches full Energy it will Molt and mature into a large kunchong that must be tanked.
Abilities[]
[]
- Paragon's Purpose — Whenever a Klaxxi Paragon is defeated, all other active Klaxxi Paragons heal to full and gain a 10% damage bonus.
- Ready to Fight — Klaxxi Paragons with this aura on them will be the next to join the fight. Before the fight begins, three Klaxxi Paragons will have this aura. When the encounter begins all three of these Paragons join the encounter and one other Paragon will gain this aura to indicate that they will join the fight next. Everytime a new Klaxxi Paragon joins the fight, one of the inactive Klaxxi Paragons will gain this aura.
- Power of the Paragons — After a Paragon has been defeated, one player may take the fallen Paragon's powers to use as their own. Only one player can take any one Paragon's power, and a player may only take a Paragon's power once during the encounter. Each Paragon's powers can only be acquired by particular class roles.
Skeer the Bloodseeker[]
Skeer the Bloodseeker uses two primary abilities: Hewn/Bloodletting.

Rik'kal the Dissector[]
Rik'kal the Dissector uses three primary abilities: Genetic Alteration/Injection. In Heroic Difficulty, Rik'kal the Dissector also uses the following ability: Mutate: Amber Scorpion.
- Genetic Alteration — Rik'kal's meddling with his victim's genetic makeup leaves them more susceptible to the attacks of Skeer the Bloodseeker. Victims suffer an additional 10% damage from Skeer the Bloodseeker for each application of Genetic Alteration.

- Claw — Amber Scorpions can lash out with one of their claws for 100% damage.
- Swipe — The Amber Scorpion sweeps both of its claws in front of it, inflicting 150% damage to all targets in the area. Targets currently under the effects of Sting suffer double damage.

- Prey — Mutated Scorpions can instantly kill an Amber Parasite with this ability. In Heroic Difficulties mutated victims must use this ability or perish from Faulty Mutation.
- Mad Scientist — Players of the damage dealer role can acquire this Paragon Power. When activated the caster mutates into a giant amber scorpion. Damage inflicted by the scorpion is based on the highest available attack or spell power of the caster. While mutated the caster suffers 50000 Physical damage per second from the shock. The mutation lasts for 30 sec.
Hisek the Swarmkeeper[]
Hisek the Swarmkeeper uses two primary abilities: Shoot/Aim.
- Multi-Shot — Hisek the Swarmkeeper fires a shot at several random players for Physical damage.
- Rapid Fire — Hisek fires several volleys in rapid succession, with each successive volley moving slightly faster than the previous one. Players caught in the path of the volleys suffer 450,000 Physical damage each second they are in the volley.
- Aim — Hisek the Swarmkeeper selects a player at random and stuns them for 5 sec. If the target is too close they will be knocked back until they are 45 yards from Hisek. After Hisek is finished aiming at the target he will Fire a beam of 0 Sonic damage at all targets between him and the victim. Damage is shared between all targets equally and each target hit by the beam will create a field of Sonic Resonance at their location that inflicts 150,000 Physical damage to all targets within 5 yards of the victim.
- Compound Eye — Players of the damage dealer role can acquire this Paragon Power. When activated, the player fires a shot at the target that inflicts greater Physical damage the further away the target is. Successfully hitting the target afflicts it with Marked for Death, increasing its damage taken by 15% for 10 sec.
Ka'roz the Locust[]
Ka'roz the Locust uses two primary abilities: Flash/Hurl Amber.
- Flash — Ka'roz charges around the raid toward random targets. All players caught in his path get Dizzied.
- Hurl Amber — Ka'roz will periodically jump up to one of the platforms located about the room and Hurl three pieces of Amber down at his enemies. Wherever the amber lands a pool of Caustic Amber will form. Players that enter a pool of Caustic Amber will suffer 200,000 Nature damage every second they remain in the area.
- Strong Legs — Players of the damage dealer role can acquire this Paragon Power. When activated the player leaps to one of the platforms Ka'roz used to Hurl Amber from. If there is an amber at the platform the player left to they have the opportunity to throw the amber down to create an Amber Explosion for 300,000 Nature damage to all enemies within 15 yards of the impact. If there is no amber at the platform or when the player successfully throws the amber they will jump back down automatically.
Korven the Prime[]
Korven the Prime uses two Primary abilities: Encase in Amber/Shield Bash.
- Encase in Amber — If Korven the Prime or any other active Paragon is below 50% health remaining Korven will Encase them in Amber for 10 sec. If the amber is not defeated within 10 sec the target will be restored to full health. This ability cannot be used more than once every 30 seconds.
- Shield Bash — Korven the Prime slams his shield into his primary tank target, knocking them down and stunning them for 6 sec. The victim is defenseless for the duration. Immediately after using Shield Bash, Korven the Prime unleashes a Vicious Assault.
- Master of Amber — A player of the tank role can acquire this Paragon Power. When activated the caster Encases themselves in Amber for 5 sec. While the amber holds the caster is immune to all damage.
Iyyokuk the Lucid[]
Iyyokuk the Lucid uses two primary abilities: Diminish/Insane Calculation. In addition, Iyyokuk the Lucid uses Calculate when he enters the fight.
- Calculate — When Iyyokuk the Lucid enters the fight he perceives the general attributes of all players and notes the result of his calculations on each target. These calculations are noted with a shape, a color, and a number. Possible shapes are: Mantid/Sword/Staff/Sonic Ring/Amber. Possible colors are: Red/Purple/Blue/Green/Yellow. Possible Numbers Range from 1 to 5
- Diminish — Iyyokuk uses his command of the arcane to alter the victim's health by 34% of its current value. If the target is below 25% of their maximum health they will die instantly.
- Insane Calculation: Fiery Edge — Iyyokuk peers through the veil of his previous calculations and selects an initial target, then all other targets based on the initial target's criteria to spawn lines of fire between them. All targets and any victims caught in the lines between them suffer Fire damage per second. The damage decreases as the endpoints of the line get further away from one another. In Normal Difficulty, Iyyokuk selects all targets that match either of two of the initial target's criteria. In Heroic Difficulty, Iyyokuk selects all targets that match any of the initial target's three criteria. In Raid Finder Difficulty, Iyyokuk selects all targets that match one of the initial target's criteria. In Heroic Difficulty, each target creates a line of fire between themselves and three other targets.
- Ingenious — Players of the healer role can acquire this Paragon Power. When activated the caster heals the initial target. The heal is then copied to other members of the raid. In Normal and Raid Finder Difficulties the heal is copied to anyone that shares the race or class of the initial target. In Heroic Difficulty the heal is copied to all other raid members who share the class of the initial target.
Xaril the Poisoned Mind[]
- Toxic Injection — When Xaril joins the encounter, he randomly injects all players with one of three different toxins: red, blue, or yellow.
- Caustic Blood — Successful melee strikes from Xaril inject a caustic poison into the victim. The injection inflicts 75,000 Nature damage per application to the target every second for 12 sec. If the injection is allowed to stack to 10, a Bloody Explosion occurs. Caustic Blood will fail to hit tanks who are using their Active Mitigation abilities.
- Tenderizing Strikes — Xaril's dagger strikes tenderize the flesh of their victim. Any attacks received from Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver will inflict 10% more damage for each application of Tenderizing Strikes.
- Choose Catalyst — Xaril the Poisoned-Mind selects a catalyst at random and strikes all members of the raid with a toxin that matches the color of the catalyst. This catalyst causes all targets' toxins to react according to the type of toxin.
- Catalytic Reaction: Red — When this toxin reacts to a red catalyst it explodes for 400,000 Fire damage to all players within 10 yards.
- Catalytic Reaction: Blue — When this toxin reacts to a blue catalyst it explodes for 1,200,000 Frost damage divided among all players within 10 yards. In 10 Player Difficulty, the maximum number of targets that can split the damage is limited to 2. In 25 Player Difficulty the maximum number of targets that can split the damage is limited to 3.
- Catalytic Reaction: Yellow — When this toxin reacts to a yellow catalyst it creates a cloud of Noxious Vapors for 30 sec. Player caught in the cloud suffer 225,000 Nature damage per second.
- Catalytic Reaction: Orange — When either a yellow or red toxin react to this catalyst, a ring of Fire explodes outward. Players do not see or need to react to the ring that forms at their own feet; but must avoid those rings that are created by their allies.
- Catalytic Reaction: Purple — When either a blue toxin or a red toxin react to this catalyst the victim will be force to run forward, leaving a trail of Canned Heat in their wake for 40 sec. Players stepping into the area suffer 188,000 Fire damage every second they remain in the area.
- Catalytic Reaction: Green — When either a blue or yellow toxin reacts to this catalyst a small cloud of Eerie Fog will typeand wander about randomly. Players who enter the area suffer 125,750 Nature damage per second for 9 sec. Entering the area Chills victims to the Bone, increasing the damage received from the Eerie Fog by 30% for 1 min. Every time a player enters the area the fog reduces in size. When it has been reduced in size 3 times it will dissipate.
- Vast Apothecarial Knowledge — Players in the healer role may acquire this Paragon Power. When Apothecary: Knowledge is activated, all healing done for the next 10 sec will leave a Volatile Poultice on the target for an amount equal to the healing done. The next time the target is damaged, the Volatile Poultice releases the stored healing on the target.
Kaz'tik the Manipulator[]
Kaz'tik the Manipulator uses two primary abilities: Sonic Projection/Mesmerize. In addition, Kaz'tik will summon his Hungry Kunchongs when he joins the fight.
- Hungry Kunchongs — These Hungry Kunchongs are summoned when Kaz'tik the Manipulator joins the fight. They have three primary abilities: Feed/Thick Shell/Devour Whole. In addition, a Hungry Kunchong that reaches 100 Energy will Molt.
- Devour — When Kaz'tik the Manipulator Mesmerizes a player, a Hungry kunchong is selected to feed on the victim. While the Kunchong Feeds the victim suffers 0 Physical damage and the Kunchong gains 7 Energy each second. If the Kunchong suffers 30% of its total health in damage from the time it began to Feed on the victim, the Feeding will stop and the victim will be freed of the Mesmerize.
- Devour Whole — Hungry Kunchongs will instantly kill any player who gets too close. The process energizes the Hungry Kunchong to full.
- Thick Shell — When not in the process of Feeding, Hungry Kunchongs are immune to all damage.
- Molt — A Hungry Kunchong that reaches full energy will Molt. The process transforms the Hungry Kunchong into a Mature Kunchong.
- Mature Kunchong — Mature Kunchongs will ignore normal attempts to control them and attack any players nearby with their newly acquired ability: Swipe.
- Swipe — The Mature Kunchong swings both of its massive pincers, inflicting 450,000 Physical damage to all targets in front of it.
- Mature Kunchong — Mature Kunchongs will ignore normal attempts to control them and attack any players nearby with their newly acquired ability: Swipe.
- Mesmerize — Kaz'tik selects a random member of the raid and forces them to walk toward one of his Hungry Kunchongs. If the victim is allowed to reach the Kunchong they will be Devoured Whole.
- Sonic Projection — Kaz'tik selects a random member of the raid and fires a sonic wave in their direction. Player caught in the path of the wave suffer 250,000 Physical damage.
- Master of Puppets — Players of any role may acquire this power. When activated the player summons an Immature Kunchong to fight at their side for 40 sec.
Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver[]
Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver uses three primary abilities: Exposed Veins/Gouge/Reave.
- Exposed Veins — Kil'ruk the Windreaver's sharp blades expose the blood vessels of his victims, making them more susceptible to the attacks of Xaril the Poisoned-Mind. All damage taken from Xaril the Poisoned-Mind is increased 10% for each application of Exposed Veins.
- Gouge — Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver incapacitates his current tank target. This attack is followed immediately by Mutilate.
- Mutilate — Kil'ruk the Windreaver lashes out with both of his weapons for a devastating attack.
- Death from Above — Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver leaps into the air over a random player and then crashes down. Kil'ruk inflicts Physical damage to all enemies within 5 yards upon landing.
- Reave — Kil'ruk leaps to a random player and begins to spin in place. All players are drawn toward Kil'ruk and suffer Physical damage for 9 sec. The damage each player suffers during Reave is decreased as the player gets away from Kil'ruk.
- Reave — Players of the damage dealer role may acquire this power. Activating this ability causes the caster to leap forward a fixed distance and inflict Physical damage to all enemies within 10 yards of the impact. If a Hungry Kunchong with a Thick Shell is in the area of impact, the Thick Shell will be disabled.
Strategy[]
Over the course of the fight, you will have to fight nine paragons, three at a time. Each time a paragon is killed, a new one will show up to take his place. Whenever this happens, all active paragons will be healed to full health, so don't bother with cleaving, multidotting, or AoE attacks.
Activation Order[]
The first three paragons will be:
- Skeer the Bloodseeker
- Rik'kal the Dissector
- Hisek the Swarmkeeper
As the paragons are killed, they will be replaced in this order:
- Ka'roz the Locust
- Korven the Prime
- Iyyokuk the Lucid
- Xaril the Poisoned Mind
- Kaz'tik the Manipulator
- Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver
Kill Order[]
On the pull, have one tank pick up Skeer and the other tank pick up Rik'kal. Hisek cannot be tanked and should be left in the center of the room.
The raid will want to either kill Skeer first and Rik'kal second, or vice versa. This depends on the Rik'kal tank's ability and confidence to let Injection fall off via active mitigation (it is not possible for the Skeer and Rik'kal tanks to taunt-switch due to debuffs applied by one that amplify the other's attacks). If the Rik'kal tank can cause Injection to fall off, kill Skeer first and Rik'kal second, otherwise kill Rik'kal first and Skeer second. While Skeer is up, DPS will need to take out the blood creatures as a top priority, and the tank on the kill target will need to kite his boss away from the bloods. Hisek will meanwhile be periodically casting Aim, which requires raid members to stand in a line between Hisek and the Aim target to split the damage.
Once the first of Skeer or Rik'kal is defeated, Ka'roz will join the fight. The raid will need to spread out to avoid Flash/Whirling and dodge the amber pools. Ka'roz is generally not problematic and will be kept alive for a long time.
Once both Skeer and Rik'kal have been taken out, Korven will join the fight. Due to his Encase in Amber ability, Korven should be taken out immediately. [Bloodlust]/ [Heroism]/ [Time Warp] should be used to break the amber that Korven will cast on himself at 50% and to then kill Korven because he can cast it on himself again. The Korven tank needs to face him away, and may need the other tank to taunt Korven if the Shield Bash/Vicious Assault combination is problematic.
Iyyokuk will join the fight once Korven is dead. Raid members affected by Insane Corruption: Fiery Edge must run away from the raid and from each other, and the rest of the raid must avoid the fiery lines. Healers must keep the raid above 25%, otherwise Diminish will one-shot people under 25%. However, the raid will be killing Hisek at this point, as his Aim damage will now be dangerously high.
Once Hisek dies, Xaril will join the raid. Kill him immediately. Anyone with the Blue catalyst should find a raid member to stack on who doesn't have the Blue catalyst. The raid will need to react accordingly to the catalysts when Toxic Injection is cast: spread from red, blue will find a non-blue friend to stack on, and yellow will need to place the void zones away from the raid. Xaril should only get one Toxic Injection off before he dies. The Xaril tank will need to drop Caustic Blood if it nears 10 stacks, either through active mitigation (preferred) or via a tank swap.
Kaz'tik will land next, and should also be immediately killed. Raid members should not stand anywhere near the Kunchongs, and ranged must immediately switch to the designated Kunchong whenever Mesmerize is cast. If a Kunchong becomes Mature, have a tank pick it up, and DPS should switch to it straight away. Players must make sure that other players are not in a line between them and the boss due to Sonic Projection.
Kil'ruk will be the last to land, and the encounter will be basically won at this point if the raid is ahead of the enrage timer; Death from Above is easily avoidable if the raid is spread out, and the Gouge/Mutilate combo simply requires tank and healer preparation and co-ordination. However, the tank previously on Xaril must not pick Kil'ruk up if he still has his Xaril stacks on him, and should always leave Kil'ruk to his co-tank. The raid should first kill Iyyokuk to reduce raid damage, then Ka'roz due to him being active for nearly the entire fight (and having a large damage increase by this point), then Kil'ruk last.
Paragon Buffs[]
Each Paragon will, when defeated, grant a role-specific buff to the first person of the correct role that interacts with the Paragon's corpse. These buffs should be used, as their use will make the encounter easier. Only one player may pick up any one Paragon's buff, and a player that has already picked up a Paragon buff may not pick up another.
The buffs granted by each Paragon are ordered in the recommended kill order above, and are as follows:
Boss | Buff | Usable by | Summary | Ideal usage |
---|---|---|---|---|
Skeer the Bloodseeker | Bloodthirsty | DPS, preferably melee | Attacks have a chance to create healing orbs on the ground. | Passive |
Rik'kal the Dissector | Buff | Anyone, preferably melee DPS | Extra action button: turns player into an Amber Scorpion with special abilities and more damage | On cooldown |
Korven the Prime | Master of Amber | Tank | Extra action button: targetable 5-second immunity | On any player in danger of dying |
Hisek the Swarmkeeper | Compound Eye | DPS, preferably ranged | Extra action button: deals damage to target (increasing with distance between player and target) and debuffs target. | On cooldown |
Xaril the Poisoned Mind | Vast Apothecarial Knowledge | Healers | Extra action button: all heals on target are stored for 10 seconds, then released at once | Pre-cast on the Kil'ruk tank around 10 seconds before a Gouge/Mutilate combo |
Kaz'tik the Manipulator | Master of Puppets | Anyone | Extra action button: summons a Kunchong companion to deal extra damage | On cooldown |
Iyyokuk the Lucid | Ingenious | Healer | Extra action button: heals the target and anyone sharing the target's race or class | Whenever necessary |
Ka'roz the Locust | Strong Legs | DPS | Extra action button: leaps to overhead platform and hurls amber projectiles | Whenever necessary |
Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver | Reave | DPS | Extra action button: leap forward and deal damage to enemies within a 10-yard radius | Doesn't matter, Kil'ruk usually dies last |
Achievement: Now We are the Paragon[]
The achievement [Now We are the Paragon] is earned individually and simply requires players to pick up three separate Paragon buffs. Since a player can only pick up one Paragon buff per kill, earning this achievement will take a minimum of three raid lockouts.

Paragons of the Klaxxi 25 Heroic
Trivia[]
- Originally, the order in which Klaxxi Paragons would join the fight changed each week, but remained the same for the duration of that raid week. You could only tell which Paragon would join the fight next by looking for which ones were Ready to Fight. It was probably determined by Blizzard that a random order was too punishing, especially to players just learning the encounter, and likely highly difficult on heroic just to get through it each week, and so a set order was established.
- "I am a leaf on the wind!" and "Watch how I soar!" are heard in the film Serenity.
- "I see many threes repeating..." is a concept along the lines of threefold repetition or possibly a repeating decimal.
- This is likely also a reference to the Leeroy Jenkins video.
Patch changes[]
- Hotfix (2014-03-04): Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver’s Reave should now cancel properly if he's defeated while channeling the ability.
- Hotfix (2014-01-21):
- Hisek the Swarmkeeper's Multi-Shot ability now deals 20% less damage on Heroic difficulty.
- Iyyokuk the Lucid's Insane Calculation: Fiery Edge now deals roughly 10% less damage on Heroic difficulty.
- Hotfix (2013-12-19):
