Yogg-Saron is the final boss encounter of the Ulduar raid dungeon.

General notions

The Old God Yogg-Saron can be engaged after the defeat of General Vezax in Ulduar. Entering his room will begin the encounter (unlike many bosses in Ulduar his aggro radius is massive). It is a three phase encounter, beginning with defeating Sara with her own guardians, then defeating the Brain of Yogg-Saron and finally defeating the body of Yogg-Saron. At the beginning of the encounter players will receive a debuff with 100 stacks called "Sanity". If this hits zero the players will have lost their mind and will to Yogg-Saron and will both be slaves to his will and see their entire raid as Faceless Ones.

  • Spell Arcane MindMastery  Sanity - Indicates your overall level of Sanity. If Sanity reaches zero your mind will be permanently under the control of Yogg-Saron.

Guardian of Yogg-Saron's abilities

  • Spell Shadow Shadowfury  Shadow Nova - Inflicts 25,000 shadow damage to any targets nearby when the Guardian of Yogg-Saron dies (including Sara).
  • Spell Shadow Shadowfury  Dark Volley - Inflicts 8500 to 11000 shadow damage to the entire raid. Reduces healing effects by 25%. Lasts 10 seconds.
  • Spell Shadow ShadowWordDominate  Dominate Mind - Dominates the mind of the target, temporarily placing them under Yogg-Saron's control. Also reduces Sanity by 4%. Offensively dispellable.

Immortal Guardian's abilities

Melee for ~20-25k on plate to start.

  • Spell Shadow LifeDrain02  Drain Life - Transfers 3,333 health per second from a random player to the Immortal Guardian for 5 seconds.
  • Immortal - Immortal Guardians cannot be slain except by Titanic Storm while at 1% HP. However Immortal Guardians do less and less damage the lower their HP is.

Sara's Abilities (Phase One)

Sara is unattackable in Phase One and casts these spells randomly on the raid and on the Guardians of Yogg-Saron.

  • Spell Shadow DeathsEmbrace  Sara's Fervor - Increases a friendly target's damage by 20%, but also increases damage taken by the target by 100%. Lasts 15 sec.

Keepers' powers

Talking to the Keepers of Ulduar before the fight will cause them to aid you in the encounter. The less you have helping the harder the encounter will be but better loot will drop and special achievements can be earned. Specific Keeper abilities below:

Strategy


Phase One: Pick up the spawning Guardians of Yogg-Saron and kite them around the room away from the clouds. Anyone touching the clouds on the ground will spawn a new Guardian of Yogg-Saron possibly leading to a wipe. Guardians of Yogg-Saron will mind control random people. Do not kill the Guardians unless they are right beside Sara. You will need to have an offensive dispel (Priest dispel magic/Shaman purge) to dispel dominated players. The way to end this phase is to blow up 9 Guardians right beside Sara. It can be helpful to spawn an extra Guardian intentionally early on to start phase 2 faster as the Guardian spawn rate picks up the longer you remain in phase one.

Phase Two: Try to get the Guardians of Yogg-Saron remaining down before phase two begins because you will immediately be swarmed by tentacles. If you are using Freya and your sanity gets low the green beams on the sides of the room will restore your sanity. Yogg-Saron's body is invulnerable in this phase.

Crusher Tentacle: Melees hard, has a ton of HP and has an aura that reduces damage done by the raid by 20%, stacks with other crusher tentacles so these must go down fast. Melee-ing these will interrupt their aura but they gain a temporary buff that increases their damage and attack speed when they are hit so this is dangerous if they are being DPS'd.

Corruptor Tentacle: Casts various debuffs, Curse of Doom, Apathy, Draining Poison and Black Plague. Dispellers will need to be on the ball. These are interruptable.

Constrictor Tentacle: These have very little HP and appear underneath random players, grab them and hoist them into the air doing damage every few seconds until killed.

Influence Tentacle: These are only inside Yogg-Saron's visions disguised as figures that fit in with the vision. Hitting them will reflect 60% of your damage back on you.

Sara will hover above Yogg-Saron's main body casting various abilities such as Psychosis, Brain Link and Malady of the Mind as well as Death Ray which is similar to Kologarn's Eye Beam but will instantly kill you on being touched.

60 seconds into phase 2, and then 20 seconds after each brain phase, Yogg-Saron will open portals into his brain (4 on normal, 10 on heroic), assign good melee DPS and one healer to take the portals. Do not take the portal if your sanity is low you will lose sanity the longer you are below. You will see one of three random illusion rooms along with some disguised tentacles and laughing skulls floating around the room. The skulls cast Lunatic Gaze so you must strafe around the room with your back to the skulls at all times. The illusion will shatter once you kill all the tentacles in the room. Melee must then run into the brain room and try to get some DPS on the brain before taking the portal back up. The Brain begins a 60 second induce madness cast when the portals open so the melee must complete their task and get whatever DPS they can on the brain within 60 seconds or they will emerge from Yogg-Saron's mind insane. After four portal phases the spawn rate of Yogg-Saron's tentacles increases to levels completely impossible to keep up with.

Phase 2 ends when the Brain hits 30%. This removes the invulnerability from Yogg-Saron's main body.

Phase Three: This is a burn phase, if you took three portal phases to defeat Yogg-Saron's Brain the 15-minute hard berserk timer on the encounter will become a very constricting factor and you will generally have no more than 5-6 minutes to complete this phase before Yogg-Saron berserks and one shots the entire raid. Yogg-Saron will have 16.5 million HP left on 25-man and 3.3 million HP on 10-man. Tentacles will stop spawning, any up will remain. Faceless Immortal Guardians that hit very hard will spawn very rapidly in this phase. You must pick up and kill the Immortal Guardians while also keeping enough DPS on Yogg-Saron to kill him within 5 minutes. Yogg-Saron will begin to cast Lunatic Gaze in this phase so DPS must be ready to avert their eyes. Yogg-Saron will also heal the faceless ones with empowering shadows. It is recommended to save Bloodlust/Heroism for this phase.

When the raid is not using Thorim it is important to remember that the Immortal Guardians hit for less the lower their HP is. So it is likely still not possible to ignore the Guardians and burn down Yogg-Saron as they hit VERY hard at full HP (25k a swing) and will quickly destroy your tanks. Rather you will still need to burn down the Guardians, but they will not die and Yogg-Saron's empowering shadows will heal them back up requiring you to DPS them down again thus making the 15-minute enrage timer very constricting.
