Eranog is the 1st of 8 boss encounters in the Vault of the Incarnatesraid in Dragonflight.On this page you will find a both a short and a full written guide for thisencounter, with video clips to show the important mechanics.

I also have my own website dedicated to both tanks and raid leaders whereI share my insight on the bosses with strategy and preparation advice whichI will update after my guild has completed progress. If you are interested in thisor want to discuss it on Discord, the links to them are below:

As this fight is very static in how it plays out, I've provided a raid planlink to show a step-by-step visual explanation for movement on thisencounter. Click the numbered tabs at the top of the page to work throughthe boss encounter.

• RaidPlan Link

• Use Bloodlust / Heroism on the pull.
• Flamerift players move away from the raid together to spawn adds.
• Try and bring the adds on top of the boss, stun and kill them.
• Dodge Molten Cleave.
• Healers: Incinerating Roar deals damage to the whole raidand applies a DoT to everyone.
• Tanks:Swap on ~5 stacks of Burning Wound or when the debuffdrops off.
• Heroic/Mythic:Dodge Molten Spikes and avoid the fire poolsthat spawn after Incinerating Roar.
• Tanks. Mythic Only: Greater Flamerift is cast on the tankwith Flamerift. This will spawn a Flamescape Captain.
• Mythic Only: Interrupt Pyroblast from the Flamescale Captainand kill it as a priority.
• Mythic (Healers Only). Mythic Only: Dispel Leaping Flames on the raid.

• Do not get hit by the beam connecting the elementals.
• Kill one as a raid and move through the open gap.

The goal of this phase is to kill the Flamescale Tarasek adds that spawn fromplayers dropping Flamerift and move around the room not to be blockedfrom the pools of lava that are left behind.

• Before the pull, establish which way around the room you are going. For example:Boss moves clockwise; debuff moves counter-clockwise.
• Start the fight by pulling Eranog to the side of the arena.
• When players get Flamerift they should move in the pre-designateddirection and drop their debuffs somewhat close together (but not overlappingas the debuff does AoE damage when it expires).

• Tanks:Swap on ~5 stacks of Burning Wound or when the debuffdrops off.
• After Flamerift expires, it will spawn a Flamescale Tarasek fromevery debuff.
• These adds will fixate on a random player, and all of the adds should ideallybe grouped on the boss for efficient DPS cleave. You can gather them through utilitysuch as Death Grip / Typhoon orthe players fixated can ensure their fixate line goes through the boss.
• After the adds have died, move the boss around the room slightly to givespace for the next set of Flamerift.
}
• Molten Cleave will target a random player and cast a conal attackon them. Stay close to the boss to minimize movement. Consider using Stampeding Roarif the group is very spread out.

• Incinerating Roar will do an initial burst of damage and thenapply a DoT on the whole raid. You should counter these with some throughputramp, such as a Resto Druid preparing HoTs on the raid or a Disc Priest preparing Atonement. You shouldn't need to commit major healing cooldowns on this, asthese are best used during Phase 2/Intermission.
• Repeat this for a total of 3 Flamerift sets and Eranog will be approaching100 Energy for Phase 2.

Heroic changes:

• Molten Spikes now spawn throughout the phase; these will knock playersaway when they spawn. Move out of the swirl underneath you.

• When Eranog casts Incinerating Roar the spikes will explodingcreating lines of fire that players need to avoid.

Mythic changes:

• Tanks: Greater Flamerift is cast on the tankwith Flamerift. Because of this, the tank swap will more likely be thiscast rather than your stack count of Burning Wound.

• Greater Flamerift spawns a Flamescape Captain. This is thehighest priority add to kill.
• The Captain has two spells, Pyroblast is an interruptablespell and will kill whoever it is cast on if it goes through. Leaping Flamesapplies a debuff to players in the raid, which can be dispelled. Utilise Mass Dispelfrom your priest to remove it quickly.

The goal of this phase is to escape the closing wall of fire elementals. Thisis achieved by killing one of the Primal Flame adds.

• Eranog will run into the middle of the room and spawn Primal Flame addsaround the room's outer edge. These will slowly walk to the middle of theroom and explode.
• The Primal Flame adds will be connected with a lava beam.Moving through this beam will deal a large amount of Fire damage and stun you.
• Killing the Primal Flame will break the connection between it andthe two closest to it, creating a gap for the raid to run through and avoidthe final explosion.
• One person in the group should determine which add the raid will killby stating ahead of time which one the group will kill.
• Alternatively, the group can opt to use a marker system such asplacing a skull target marker on the add or marking a player and going to theone they are running towards.
• After the adds have exploded, Eranog will run towards the tank and Phase 1begins again. Repeat until he dies, and collect your loot!

Mythic changes:

• Eranog now spawns a second wave of Primal Flame adds; this wave starts atthe center of the room and moves towards the edge of the room.
• Kill the add that spawns from the middle first and then the outside add.
• A couple of players in the raid should save cooldowns for this to ensure thisDPS check is met.

Your strategy for this boss is largely unchanged, but you must be betterwith your placement of Flamerift and the new Greater Flamerift.For this, I recommend making a large V shape on the edge of the room and making your way toward the middle, as shown below.

When you enter the intermission, place a raid floor marker on the first addyou want to kill in the new Mythic add wave and then target mark the outer wave.
