Notes

Head just to the east on the north end of the rise immediately to the east of the village. Gaohun has a guard in a force-choke. The imperion is a level 91 elite mogu with 1,630,000 health and the following abilities:

Spirits of the Damned 40 yd range — Inflicts 38,000 to 42,000 Shadow damage. 3 sec cast. Aims for the ground under the target. Avoid by moving before cast finishes.
Rend Soul 40 yd range — Inflicts 30% of the target's health in damage. 3 sec cast. Interruptible. Should be interrupted.
Spirit Cage 40 yd range — Traps enemies in a spirit cage summoning 5 Bound Souls and rooting enemies in place for 10 secs. 3 sec cast. Called out by a boss emote:
- Gaohun the Soul-Severer begins to cast [Spirit Cage]! Move quickly!

This fight is all about getting out of the void zones and interrupting the Rend Soul casts. There are no guards nearby on the ridge, but maybe the guards at the inn can be encouraged to help out?
