Brackenhide Hollow Mythic+ Dungeon Guide

Tricktotem will shoot Earth Bolts at random players, interrupt this as often as possible and focus this boss down to remove this mechanic from the fight as quickly as you can. They will also cast Greater Healing Rapids on a random boss, which you can interrupt or purge. Finally, when any member of the War-Band reaches 15% she will buff all 3 of them with Bloodfrenzy, so be aware of this extra damage intake when it goes out.

Gashtooth deals high party damage from Gash Frenzy, doing 5 hits to random players and applying a 15s stacking bleed to them. This is removed when the player is healed above 90% health, so focus the debuffed players and use bleed cleanses if you have any. Gashtooth will also focus a single player with Marked for Butchery, dealing heavy damage over 4s, so use a defensive if this targets you.

Rira Hackclaw does a frontal with all her auto attacks thanks to Cleave, so tanks make sure to face her away from your group. She will occasionally use Bladestorm and move towards a random player, so be sure to stay out of the 8yd AoE this creates.

Throughout the fight the bosses will team up and combo the group, with Tricktotem incapacitating the healer via Hextrick Totem, Gashtooth blinding the tank with Decayed Senses, and Rira targeting a random player with Savage Charge. To survive this, you’ll need to kill the totem CCing the healer, have them magic dispel the tank, and then have the tank stand in the path of the charge. This can be a bit easier if you have a dps priest or warlock as they can magic dispel the tank without needing to meet a dps check to free the healer, making this combo easier to survive.

Healers you’ll want to try and keep players as healthy as possible throughout this fight, as the bosses will gain stacks of Predatory Instincts for each 10% total health missing from players.

Tanks point the Vine Whip frontal away from your group and try not to get knocked out of the boss arena.

Decay Spray targets a random player and does a small frontal towards them, non-targeted players should avoid this, then cleave down the Decaying Slime mobs spawned, keeping interrupts or CCs on them to prevent the Gushing Ooze cast from completing.

When Grasping Vines goes out make sure 1 player is in the circle so the boss can Consume them, allowing you to avoid giving the boss the Starving Frenzy buff. You’ll need to break the absorb shield on the boss, or have the consumed player use an immunity to break free. After this happens they’ll get the Partially Digested debuff, so you need to alternate the player soaking this ability.

Ensnaring Trap targets 2 random players, leaving a circle on the ground that will root and deal damage to anyone who touches it.

Throughout the fight the boss will use Call Hyenas, spawning 2 Rotfang Hyena mobs that the tank should pick up and try to drag through the Ensnaring Trap effect to root them. Use a CC to stop them from casting Bounding Leap, and back out of range of them to avoid the Crippling Bite hit. Note that Bounding Leap will also fail to cast if the mob is rooted by the trap, so no need to use a CC if this is the case.

Occasionally the boss will use Meat Toss, causing the hyenas to enrage in a Feeding Frenzy and fixate on a random player for 10s. When this happens, have that player kite them through one of the Ensnaring Traps to keep them rooted. On top of this, make sure to always interrupt the bosses Master’s Call cast, otherwise the hyenas will break free and gain a speed increase.

Tanks use a defensive on Gut Shot, and make sure the effect doesn’t knock you off the edge of the platform or into an Ensnaring Trap.

Tanks use a defensive for the Decaystrike double hit, and make sure to point the Choking Rotcloud frontal towards the outside of the room, then step out of the effect before the cast finishes. This cloud will rotate around the room and apply stacks of Withering Rot to anyone hit, so make sure to avoid it.

Rotburst Totems spawn on the opposite side of the room as the boss. Tanks position such that these spawn behind Choking Rotclouds, allowing you and any melee DPS to get full uptime on them. DPS be sure to swap to these as quickly as possible, saving damage when needed, to kill it before the Rotting Burst cast goes off, which applies a stack of Withering Rot to your entire party.

At 100 energy the boss will use Decaying Strength, doing a Withered Eruption splash hit around each player based on the amount of Withering Rot stacks they had, and also gaining a stacking 5% damage increase per Withering Rot stack absorbed, so avoid getting stacks of this debuff whenever possible.

For boss movement, I recommend pointing the Choking Rotcloud into a corner, then walking the boss diagonally across the room to the opposite corner, causing the first totem to spawn in the corner you started in. After killing that totem, rotate clockwise to the next corner, which will cause the second totem to spawn opposite you once again, just behind where the Choking Rotcloud is. Repeat this for each phase.
