Zek'voz is a boss in Uldir.

Adventure Guide

Shortly after the Sundering, a dark messenger arrived on the fresh shores of Zandalar, intending to bring the newly isolated tribe into the service of N'Zoth. Zek'voz was prepared to entice, bribe, cajole, corrupt, or simply kill them, but he was not prepared to encounter the defenses of Uldir. He was captured, studied, disassembled, and stored in the Titans' Archives, where he has waited for a chance to escape.

Overview

Overview of tactics for the Zek'voz fight.

Zek'voz attacks players while the compromised Titan Discs come online, calling forth powerful Old God magics and summoning their lesser servants. As new Titan Discs come online, previously activated Discs will power down.

Damage Dealers

• Consider your positioning when Roiling Deceit is about to expire.
• Intercept Orb of Corruption to gain Corruptor's Pact.

Healers

• Titan Spark strikes random targets periodically.
• Surging Darkness inflicts substantial damage to all party members in addition to the lethal damage within each eruption.
• Orb of Corruption inflicts significant raid damage to all party members if it lands.

Tanks

• Avoid being struck by Void Lash multiple times during Might of the Void.

Abilities

•  Titan Spark — Titan energy arcs from the damaged Titan Disc, striking several targets for X Arcane damage.

•  Might of the Void  — Zek'voz performs a series of powerful attacks.
  •  Void Lash  — Zek'voz summons lashing tentacles, inflicting X Shadow damage in a frontal cone, and reduces healing received by 50% for 8 sec. This effect stacks
  •  Shatter  — Zek'voz strikes the target, inflicting X Physical damage and increasing Physical damage taken by 50% for 40 sec.

Stage One: Chaos

Protocol: Chaos begins, summoning projections of C'Thun and replicating minions from the Qiraji empire.

•  Eye Beam  — The Eye of C'Thun penetrates the soul of the target, dealing X Shadow damage and leaping to any nearby allies for increased damage.
• Silithid Warrior
  •  Skittering Swarm — Silithid Warriors ignore threat and seek out random players.
  •  Jagged Mandible — The Silithid Warrior's melee attacks maim the target, inflicting X Physical damage every 2 sec.

Stage Two: Deception

At 65% health remaining Protocol: Deception begins, summoning projections of Yogg-Saron and replicating servants from Azjol-Nerub.

•  Roilling Deceit  — Yogg-Saron corrupts the target, inflicting X Shadow damage every 3 sec and forms an Ominous Cloud upon expiration.
  • Omnious Cloud — Ominous Clouds slowly drift through the area and will boil ominously if an enemy strays too close, summoning a Guardian of Yogg-Saron.

•  Orb of Corruption   — Explodes on impact with the ground, inflicting X Shadow damage to all players. Pulses every 5 sec while grounded for 100% increased damage. Intercepting the Orb of Corruption launches the orb into the air and afflicts the intercepting player with Corruptor's Pact.

•  Will of the Corruptor — The mind of the victim is overtaken, forcing them to attack their allies until sufficient damage is taken.
  •  Void Wail   — Releases a wave of pure void energy, causing X Shadow damage to players within 8 yards and causing them to flee in fear for 6 sec.
  •  Psionic Blast  — Blasts the target's mind for X Shadow damage and causes them to flee in fear for 6 sec.

Trivia

• During the Battle for Azeroth alpha, the Zek'voz boss encounter was initially called Titan Discs, with the boss itself being named Zol'thuum. It was later renamed to Zek'vohj, and finally to Zek'voz.
  • During alpha, the raid encounter description read: "Zol'thuum assaults players while the compromised Titan Discs come online, calling forth powerful Old God magics and summoning their lesser servants. As new Titan Discs come online, previously activated Discs will go dormant."
• Zek'voz's model is called aqir.m2 in the files, though his race is never stated in-game. He was confirmed to be an aqir when other aqiri mobs with the same model were introduced in patch 8.3.0.

Patch changes

• Patch 8.0.1 (2018-07-17): Added.
