Felmyst is the 3rd boss in Sunwell Plateau.

She spawns when Brutallus dies, she raises out of Madrigosa's corpse. Felmyst looks like Sapphiron in Naxxramas, reminds of Nightbane fight in Karazhan (summons skeletons and flies around).

You need to kill Brutallus to be able to remove the firewall that makes you unable to continue in the instance.

What happens if he dies mid-air?

Comment by 35454

encapsulate CAN hit the MT.

you cannot divine shield the MC effect from Green Vapor

also, felmyst does not tailwhip, so feel free to stand behind her.

Comment by zapiks44

Can anyone tell me whether Nature Resist makes a difference on this fight? I've heard conflicting views on whether her abilities are resistable or not.

Comment by Astana

The enrage isn't so bad on your tank since you can heal through it. The worst part is when she does gas nova. It hits every single member of your raid for ~11k per tick. Needless to say we wiped. lol.

Comment by hlcws

As for tanking the skeletons as a protection paladin, aggro the first three skeletons that spawn from the green trail with avenger shield, the second bunch with consecration and the last ones with holy wrath. Pull them to the middle where all the healers with healaggro should gather so you can take the skeletons off with consecration. Earthbind totems and hunter traps help alot to kite the skeletons.
This is especially useful when you have to run away from the mindcontrol fog. You can turn your back to the skeletons and run at full speed without being hit too hard (no blocking from behind). Backpedaling will wipe the raid.
Also, the skeletons dont deal that much dmg. I have 112 avoidance with gear on TIer 5 level and tank all of them without problems.

It appears that this boss may have originally been named Felblaze because all her sound bites in the game files are under that title. to listen to the intersting ones enter these into your wow chat box:

Glory to Kil'Jaeden, Death to all who oppose!
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Felblaze\\FELBLAZEBORN.wav")

Choke on your final breath!
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Felblaze\\FELBLAZEBREATH.wav")

Kil'Jaeden... Will... Prevail... (death)
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Felblaze\\FELBLAZEDEATH.wav")

Birth:
Glory to Kil'jaeden! Death to all who oppose!

Kill:
I kill for the master!
The end has come!

Breath:
Choke on your final breath!

Take-off:
I am stronger than ever before!

Berserk:
No more hesitation! Your fates are written!

Death:
Kil'jaeden... will... prevail...

After her death Kalecgos appears before flying towards the Sunwell:
Madrigosa deserved a far better fate. You did what had to be done, but this battle is far from over.

When your guild is learning this fight, if a wipe is called it's economically sound to run into Felmyst's Fog of Corruption. You will die from Soul Sever and take no durability loss.

She has 4.900.000 health since patch 3.0.2 nerf.

Comment by 276876

Was doing SWP with some friends the other night and just wanted to point out a few things, as I hadn't known it, coming in.

If taken to 1% after the eye beams, he will die once he hits the ground (after the breath phase).
If at 1% during the eye beams, he will reset in the air after the skeletons and won't go into the breath phase.
You can kill him before he takes off into the air. We had him reset multiple times, but finally were able to take him about a couple of seconds before he phased into the air. Having not done Felmyst since pre-3.0, I was pretty surprised and wasn't sure if you could actually do such a thing until achieving it.

Comment by 530761

Even at 80, shes reasonably difficult. Be careful whom you pug, one wrong move from more than 6 people is a wipe on her deep breaths.

I wouldn't call her a gear check, but a "retard" check

Comment by 201669

Killed her before airphase today (<45 sec) good for a laugh..

Comment by 462250

Felmyst is considered "the twins of BC" a clear reference to the twins in AQ40..... it was named this because it is truly the raid-breaker sunwell because this is usually th boss that ends it

Comment by 314557

At level 80:

We have everyone stack up on her, and just spam mass dispels on gas nova. When encapsulate happens, everyone moves out (use dsac for it). Due to the air phase with mind control breaths, she has the potential to be one of the most difficult bosses in Sunwell now. I highly recommend using vent and having someone capable at recognizing her movement patterns to call breaths. She usually dies right after the first air phase.

I do believe you are referring to Alythess and Sacrolash, not Felmyst.

my hunter pet gets stuck all the time in the area of felmyst

Comment by 608776

I have found that this fight is actually possible to 5 man, had a 25 man raid and we wiped on felmyst so most ppl left, but we still had 1 tank 2 heals and 2 dps left over so we figured what the hell right, managed to down the &*!@#. As long as ppl actually pay attention this fight is really easy.

Comment by 626791

Is this soloable now by a level 85 hunter?

Comment by eirikzor

It is possible to kill her before she flies up in the air if you nuke her hard.

Comment by bwappo

Confirmed. Went on two Sunwell raids this weekend on two different alts, and both times we burned down Felmyst before phase 2. Life just got better for those looking to gear for the 70-74 XP-off bracket!

Comment by 702755

Presently (confirmed today and last week, and the week before), Felmyst's location when she emotes "Felmyst takes a deep breath..." and her subsequent route as she breathes do not correspond to the location of the Deep Breath fog, so her Deep Breaths are not avoidable in the same manner as Onyxia's, and rely more on luck and reflex than on preparation.

There was a time that they did properly line up, but either due to a graphical glitch or due to a change in the fight, this is no longer the case.

Note: before downrating (which I expect at least one knucklehead will do), please read what I've said. At the time of this posting, her breath does not correspond to her location in the air. If you have personal experience with this fight (since patch 4.1) and her flight path and location have been fixed, please mention as such instead of simply downrating.

On the upside, she is in fact now killable during phase 1 (ground phase) with sufficient DPS, whereas she used to stop at 1hp for at least one air phase. This makes the raid substantially easier for max-level players and, coupled with the new breath location disconnect, substantially harder for level 70 players.

Comment by 54934

As of tonight, I can report two things:
1. The situation described in Phoroneus's post regarding the lack of correlation between Felmyst's location and her breath is still true. Frustrated the hell out of us for several attempts, where she was clearly in one place so we all moved away, only to have her breathe on the spot we went to.

2. We weren't able to get her down in phase 1, but we did get her down to one HP in the air. She still does the breaths when this happens. Since we didn't have the DPS in our little 6-person group to get her dead before she took to the air, I can't report on whether she dies if this happens.

Comment by bojan112

phase 2 = combination of atramedes in air and valiona in air (while theralion is down). basically she chase one guy with beam and skelies appear during that. after that she shower 1/2 of field with gas and if you are in it you get Mced. i really dont understand why is that so hard to avoid so that 99% of people prefer zerging her down in p1

Comment by Nobbel

Two videos I made about Sunwell Plateau. It shows me (Nobbel 85 Paladin) and my buddy (Eponympf 85 paladin) duoing Kalecgos. We tried to duo Brutallus, but got our butts handed to us. Aliceinchain (85 Shaman) joins and we 3-man the rest of the instance without a problem.
I hope it gives you a few pointers.

Comment by Tyvona

We did this at 85 and had a strange bug which I would very much like to see if other people can replicate, or if it was one of the 'one off' things.

We 3 manned this as a hunter, f druid (myself) and shaman. The hunter misdirected Felmyst to his pet, at which point Felmyst did not land, but hovered above us and constantly tried to turn to attack the pet, and the pet constantly ran to try and attack from behind. We were able complete this whole fight without Felmyst landing, or attacking anyone, and were easily able to melee/range Felmyst.
Strange bug but very useful for us.

Comment by 956930

I recently defeated Felmyst in a group of 4 people consisting of a Protection Pally (Me), a Mage, a Druid and a Priest. At level 85 we found the fight pretty easy apart from the fog of corruption phase which i'm sure gets alot of people stuck if they are not able to nuke her completely during the first phase, so i thought i'd share our method in case it can be useful for anybody.

After wiping due to fog of corruption numerous times, when we ran back we all stayed up on the shelf where you start before killing Brutalus. I jumped down on my own and pulled Felmyst back towards the ledge where the others could hit her from the safety of the shelf. Once the air phase started i hung around the bottom while she was channelling the spell that summons the skeletons however once she had cast it twice i had the priest pull me up to the shelf using their leap of faith ability. The whole party was then able to stay safely on the ledge while Felmyst cast her fog of corruption. Once she finished casting her third one i simply jumped down into a space in the fog and resumed tanking once it had cleared. From then on it was just rinse and repeat.

Obviously this method is pretty reliant on the priest but hope it helps.

Got her down to 1 Hp and then she reset. followed normal mechanics for fight and such (blood DK and Boomkin)
anyone else having this problema?

Comment by MoarHeroisms

A week ago I killed Felmyst with a 4-man pug group of 85s. She was in flight phase and cast Fog of Corruption on one of the raiders on the first pass. As the rest of us moved to the opposite side of the stage, the fog victim stood there mind-controlled not attacking us, and after a few seconds their debuff wore off.

Even more interesting, the third fog was cast on the entire raid, yet instead of us instantly dying like normal, the debuff wore off everyone, and we finished the boss. Has anyone else experienced this before?

Comment by Hairband

This boss is plain annoying. I came here for help. I didn't find what I was looking for here, which was a strategy guide on her to get the guild achievement in a fun run. This was by far the MOST challenging boss for our run.

Read on if you wanted some strategy or help in your raid run:

First we had one warrior tank, one holy priest, one shadow priest and enh shaman at cap (85), plus 2 ranged at about 80, and two lvl 72 off tank / spriest. Everyone at cap was LFR or DS geared.

You will spot Felmyst easily after Brutallus goes down. She is a skeletal wyrm. When pulled, (I used Heroic Throw) she has a ground stage and then if you are unfortunate enough to dps her down to zero, she does an air phase. Phase 1 is really easy... please burn every cooldown to try to get her down to zero. Your healer will probably want to dispel the poison she AOEs on everyone, so stay close by, if they have mass dispel. Otherwise don't worry about it and wait til phase 2 to dispel.

The other strategy guide I read here said that you could DPS her down to zero at phase 1. This is true. If you are NOT lucky or if you don't have great DPS, phase 2 is really annoying. First the adds are summoned, which don't need to be tanked and really aren't hard at all, in fact, I think one thing I would do next time is just let everyone AOE them whereever they spawn and start spreading out. They are just green poisonous looking skeletons, and you get about eight on the ground at all times.

For phase 2: The most important part here is to spread out for her breath. Her breath will appear at first as a green laser beam, nothing you haven't seen before by this point in the game-- and you just run out of it. But then, her breath will show up as gaseous green splotches growing from a little mist ball, then getting thicker until you are basically smothered in it. The green splotches form an AOE mind control for everyone in it. First you will run around confused, then you will start attacking your party if you are in it. While confused, you will be unable to use any cooldowns such as berserker rage or Heroic Leap and you'll sit there. For this part, please (1) get CC ready and (2) spread out. Two people in our party were MC'ed and we ended up killing everyone. If you are MC'ed just call it out and have someone hex, sheep or trap you. Other than running away from the clouds and MC'ed players, I don't recall anyone trying to put ranged DPS on her at this time and I assume she is out of range.

She is also buggy; she also regained full health, for unknown reasons, when at about 10% health.

I think we tried her four times and finally got it the fifth time. We tried the tank going down and everyone else up on the platform strategy, and that still failed.

ETA: ~~The location of the Fog of Corruption is going to be totally random and there is not going to be any indicator of where it's going to be per Mendric's post.~~ (Post edit: Looks like once the Fog spawns ONCE, it's going to spawn in that same place for subsequent phases.) It usually spawns in the center of the area but not always. I felt like every time I wiped, it spawned right on my head. If everyone hugs the perimeter, where the fire is, when the skeleton adds come out, that MAY give your group enough space and time to get MC'ed members of your party CC'ed.

Comment by Esploratore

Seems like, without insulting anyone in specific, there are some noobs in this thread.

To know more about breaths, just look at the video: "how to felmyst", explains all possible combo of breaths.

However, basically, she does one at south, very easy to recognise, cause she flies ridicolously south when she does it.

Then there's a middle one and a north one and probably some more, and the ONLY problem is that it's a bit hard to understand a breath, which seems to be middle but is north; you always have to look at how felmyst moves and learn that if she does that movement it's middle, if she does the other movement it's north.

Again, the video explains very clearly all kind of breaths, been made for 70 groups.

Also, many dks soloed this, including myself, and I can assure you that you don't have the dps when solo to bring her down before air phase, and actually not even after 1, you will need to survive 2 air phases while solo.

If you get hit by breaths, you can get lucky that you have a tentacle of the old ones\bloodworm up and in that case you won't be able to do anything for 5-6 sec, after that all is fine, but unless this happens, you will die, so CC's are not an option.

I normally stay south, cause it's quite easy to recognise, look at her movement, if she comes south I move north, to be sure, and after a lot of wipes now I manage 90% of breaths correctly, also soloed felmyst completely in enrage using 394 tank gear, 20 mins fight, so really A LOT of breaths to avoid.

Little curiosity that 70 groups could've never known, I guess: if you let her enrage, it lasts only 5 mins (this are no news), after you survive it (possible now as dk in full tank gear), it expires, BUT after 5 more mins she enrages again for other 5 mins, luckily I killed her some seconds after that, she really hurts, 35k hits when enraged, and also puts a dot for 15k lasting a lot of seconds.

Also used a prismatic elixir for the solo fully in enrage, the other time I died just before the enrage faded, she flew in the air with a 15k\sec dot on me, skeletons didn't spawn yet, and I couldn't heal...

Comment by Eillesthis

Felmyst was apparently raised from the dead by the blood of Brutallus, after you killed him, after he killed her as Madrigosa, after you saw her as Madrigosa trying to help out far below you when you did The Air Strikes Must Continue on the Isle of Quel'Danas.

Comment by Thottbot

Whats with the lack of comments xD? I know this much: Felmyst is the resurrected "ghost dragon" of Madregosa (Sorry about spelling) She is slain over Sunwell Plateau by Brutallus (which is a nice fight you can witness outside the instance I believe) and then rises from the Ashes, corrupted, as your third boss :)

Comment by Thottbot

Yeah. Wowwiki.com has the strategy and all. But yeah, she is the resurrected form of the good dragon Magdrigosa, who was killed during her taunting of Brutallus.

Comment by Thottbot

25 man

Comment by Allakhazam
