The Shapeless' Abilities

Some of the Shapeless' abilities required Warped Energy, which is produced by using the Warp Strike ability.

  • Ability creature poison 02.png Spew Goo  —  Spews a wave of slime in front of the Shapeless that deals nature damage and creates pools of Putrid Goo. Also releases pools of different types of goo in all directions around the Shapeless. Uses Warped Energy.

  • Spell shadow curseoftounges.png Aura of Warped Flesh  —  Prevents all allies from being healed.

  • Ability creature poison 02.png Neutralizing Goo  —  Reduces all shadow damage taken to 0.

Strategy

During Phase One, Veno'vyl will use all of her abilities. She has less health than usual for a boss of her level due to her health regeneration abilities in Phase Two. Every time she loses 50% of her health, Phase Two begins. Veno'vyl will transform a random player into a Shapeless, becoming immune to incoming damage in the process and gaining health regeneration. While the Shapeless is active, players cannot be healed. Veno'vyl must be occupied by the Shapeless during this phase - unchanged players will not last long against her. The Shapeless player will need to release pools of Goo to aid other players in restoring health, avoiding damage, and dealing with adds. Players will have to find and destroy the three Fleshwarping Focus Crystals that will spawn during Phase Two and destroy them in order to restore the Shapeless to normal. If they are not fast enough, the Shapeless will go insane and turn against the party. When the Shapeless returns to normal, Phase One will begin again.

Heroic Strategy

In Phase One, every time the Mend Flesh spell is successfully interrupted, Veno'vyl gains the Tortured Flesh debuff, which increases the damage she deals and the effect of healing spells used on her.

In Phase Two, Veno'vyl will take control of the Shapeless with an ability called Submit Shapeless. Players can free the Shapeless from Veno'vyl's control by destroying a Fleshwarping Focus Crystal when the Shapeless is within 15 yards of it. Veno'vyl will not take any action while controlling the Shapeless.

When Veno'vyl is defeated in heroic mode, she will not die, but will instead retreat and open the pathway to the final area of the Riplash Ruins: 'Ahn'Jahad, Temple of the Shattered Eye. Veno'vyl will spawn a chest containing her loot for the encounter.

Achievements

  • Goo Intentions - Stand in three different types of goo and then defeat Lady Veno'vyl.
