Adventure Guide
Following its defeat in the Emerald Nightmare, Il'gynoth retreated into the depths of Ny'alotha to regain its strength. Now it has fused with the city's architecture and spreads across the Black Empire like a creeping infestation. As Il'gynoth's corrupting flesh grows ever larger, so does its power.
Overview
The encounter begins with players facing off against Il'gynoth's reformed body in the center of the arena. Reducing Il'gynoth's health to 0 will cause him to retreat, opening chambers to his three Organs of Corruption while he reforms. Each Organ of Corruption spawns Bloods of Ny'alotha, but players can slow the blood flow with interrupt abilities. Defeating an Organ of Corruption will cause Il'gynoth to return with restored health. This cycle repeats until all three Organs of Corruption and Il'gynoth have all been defeated.

Trivia
- PTR adventure journal
After defeat in the Emerald Nightmare, Il'gynoth retreated to the depths of Ny'alotha. Here, he has merged with the very architecture of N'Zoth's plane. Spreading like a malignant tumor, Il'gynoth's corruption continues to feed on everything he touches.
In Hearthstone
Il'gynoth appears as a legendary demon hunter card in the Madness at the Darkmoon Faire expansion for Hearthstone. Its effect converts all Lifesteal into damage to the opponent's hero, and its flavor text reads: "Well, that just sounds like damage with extra steps."
