Adventure Guide
Summoned from depths unknown, the Blackwater Behemoth lurks in an abyss so dark that not even the naga dare to venture into it. Only Azshara is capable of taming the beast, and she has trained it to faithfully guard her treasures.
Overview
The Blackwater Behemoth makes its home in the Darkest Depths of the ocean, where healing magic fails to function normally. Players must acquire Bioluminescence in order to be healed by their allies. Swimming over open water while covered in Bioluminescence will draw attention from creatures that dwell beneath, via Gaze from Below. Periodically, the Behemoth will retreat to another platform and begin channeling a lethal Cavitation wave if not interrupted.
Damage Dealers
- Swim toward Bioluminescent Cloud when active to gain Bioluminescence, allowing healers to heal you.
- Allow Bioluminescence to expire before pursuing the Behemoth over the open abyss so you are not targeted by Gaze from Below.
- Swim across the abyss quickly to interrupt Cavitation before the Behemoth finishes casting.
Healers
- Trigger Bioluminescent Cloud strategically to ensure Bioluminescence can be maintained by your allies.
- Allow Bioluminescence to expire before pursuing the Behemoth over the open abyss so you are not targeted by Gaze from Below.
Tanks
- Minimize the number of stacks of Feeding Frenzy gained by the Behemoth.
- Maintain Radiant Biomass on yourself or all incoming healing will be blocked by Darkest Depths.
