'''Nefarian''' is the last boss of [[Blackwing Descent]], a raid shipped with ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]]''. He can be found in the [[Vault of the Shadowflame]], where he resurrects his sister [[Onyxia (Blackwing Descent)|Onyxia]], who makes up the first phase of the fight. Throughout the fight, Nefarian has several other undead adds as well.

Nefarian was the last boss of the entry tier of ''Cataclysm'' to be killed on normal mode, in part due to a respawn bug. The world first kill came on 13 December 2010, almost a week after the expansion's release. It was completed in 10-person mode by the Russian guild Exorsus.

''Animated Bone Warrior''
 
*Same as Phase One.
 
 
==Overview==
 
The encounter begins with an introductory event in which Nefarian / Lord Victor Nefarius, resurrects [[Onyxia (Blackwing Descent)|Onyxia]] and flies into the air, landing 30 seconds into the fight. Although he is present, his Lightning Machine will electrocute the raid if they DPS Nefarian during this first phase. Similarly, Onyxia's lightning charge ability will build up to dangerous levels if she is not attacked. The two dragons should be separated, because they gain a 100% haste buff when within 60 yards of one another. Phase one ends when Onyxia dies.
 
 
In phase two, Nefarian will lift off and fill the area with lava. There will be two (10-man) or three (25-man) raised pillars amid the sea of lava, each with a [[Chromatic Prototype]] on it. The raid should split into groups and head to their respective pillars to deal with the mobs. This phase ends when either the Chromatic Prototypes are slain or three minutes have passed; an achievement, {{achievement|Keeping it in the Family}}, rewards players for getting Nefarian below 50% before the end of phase two and subsequently defeating him. There are no [[Animated Bone Warrior]]s during this phase.
 
 
When the Chromatic Prototypes are slain or three minutes are up, the lava subsides and Nefarian lands once more, beginning his final phase. [[Animated Bone Warrior]]s can be raised by Shadowflame effects and should be kited. The fight is fairly straightforward from this point on.
 
 
==Strategy==
 
===Phase 1===
 
 
===Phase 2===
 
[[File:Nefarian phase 2 lava platform.jpg|thumb|250px|Stay out of the lava.]]
 
 
Split the group evenly between the 3 pillars and DPS the adds down together, interrupting them and leaving the slowest one to drop alive while you DPS the boss a bit. If the healers are running low on mana, finish off the final add and start Phase 3.
 
 
Nefarian's shadow bolts during this phase do splash damage in a very small radius, so spread out some to minimize the damage.
 
 
===Phase 3===
 
In addition to his Phase 1 abilities, Nefarian has his Shadowblaze Spark (flame ring) ability, which starts off as a patch of fire and grows in an O shape before it despawns. It is not too difficult to deal with at first but because Nefarian casts it more and more quickly it will become unavoidable as the phase goes on. It is therefore important to have him as low as possible prior to the start of this phase, and once it starts, the phase is a DPS race.
 
 
Tank the boss at the outer edge of the room, which will give the raid more warning time and wiggle room to move around and avoid the flame rings. This has the added benefit of more space to deal with the adds.
