Patchwerk has been slain time and again, but his grotesque form continually rises, enabling him to return from death again and again. He stands amidst the ruins of the Construct Quarter of Naxxramas, waiting for explorers and champions to come and amuse him.

Patchwerk the Undying

Abilities

Phase One Abilities

•  Hateful Strike  —  A rapid and powerful melee strike performed on Patchwerk's primary target, dealing extra damage.

•  Rampage  —  Patchwerk will launch a flurry of attacks, randomly striking any targets within melee range. Channeled spell. Lasts for 3 seconds.

•  Cannibalize —  Patchwerk will attempt to devour one of the many corpses strewn around his chamber. If he succeeds, he will regain a large amount of health. 8 second casting time. Corpses being cannibalized will become targetable and can be destroyed. Destryoing a corpse will prevent Patchwerk from regaining health.

•  Frenzy —  When Patchwerk's health reaches 5%, he gains 40% attack speed and 25% damage to all his abilities.

During Phase Two, Patchwerk will adopt one of the three following attack styles, gained by eating one of the boss corpses in his chamber. He will use these abilities for the remainder of the fight.

Grobbulus Abilities

•  Slime Breath —  Patchwerk vomits a stream of slime in a cone in front of him, creating a river of poison that damages anyone who walks across it. Deals nature damage every second for 5 seconds. Trail of slime deals periodic nature damage.

•  Poison Cloud —  Patchwerk releases clouds of poisonous gas every 10 seconds which damage anything that stands in them. Best not to think about where they're coming from, really... Deals nature damage every second to all targets standing in it. Does not affect Patchwerk.

Gluth Abilities

•  Mortal Wound —  Reduces the effectiveness of healing spells by 15%. Applies to the tank with every strike while empowered with Gluth's abilities.

•  Zombies! —  Zombie Chow adds emerges from the nearby ruins, moving slowly towards random targets to attack. Patchwerk will devour them if they come near him. If Patchwerk comes within 5 yards of Zombie Chow, he will immediately devour it to regain 5% health.

•  Decimate —  Reduces the health of all nearby foes to 5% of their maximum health. 3 second casting time. Affects all targets within 15 yards.

Thaddius Abilities

•  Lightning Field —  Periodically deals nature damage to all nearby enemies with lightning.

•  Polarity Shift —  Inflicts two random targets with Positive Charge. All other players will be afflicted with Negative Charge. If the Charges are not removed within 5 seconds of being applied, they will detonate and inflict massive lightning damage on all players. Positively Charged players must move within 5 yards of each other to remove the charges.

Strategy

Scattered throughout Patchwerk's chamber are many corpses, including three familiar ones - the remains of Grobbulus, Gluth, and Thaddius. Patchwerk will switch to one of three possible attack styles at 50% health by devouring one of the three, necessitating different strategies depending on what corpses he eats.

Eating Grobbulus' corpse will give Patchwerk the ability to generate poison clouds and spray a wave of slime across the chamber. The slime will leave a trail that damages anything that stands in it, except for Patchwerk himself.

Eating Gluth's corpse will grant Patchwerk the ability to decrease the heavling his primary target receives, as well as summoning zombies and consuming them to regain health. He will periodically cast Decimate, which will drastically reduce the health of anyone struck by it.

Eating Thaddius's corpse will give Patchwerk the ability to periodically deal nature damage to all targets, as well as the Polarity Shift ability, which will force Positively Charged players to move within 5 yards of each other or deal damage to the entire party.

Heroic Mode Strategy

Patchwerk will eat a corpse every time his health drops 25%, and will keep all of the abilities he gains. Patchwerk's Gas Cloud ability will deal damage to any Zombie Chow adds that stand in it.

When he reaches 5% health and Frenzies, he will remain stationary and won't make physical attacks anymore. Instead, he will continually cast Slime Spray at random targets. Zombies emerge from the ruins in greater numbers than ever, and lightning bolts will arc out of Patchwerk's body that damage anyone they touch. Patchwerk's Lightning Field ability will be strengthened and deal considerably greater damage. He will periodically cast Decimate followed immediately by a Rampage.

Achievement

• Werkin' All Night - Defeat Patchwerk in less than 4 minutes.
