Introduction
Hey everyone, and welcome to the Skyreach dungeon guide for season 1 of Midnight! In this guide I’ll be going over the abilities of all the trash mobs and bosses throughout the dungeon, as well as how I recommend you handle them. I’ll be focusing on the mythic and M+ versions of the dungeon, but most of this article will apply to both normal and heroic difficulties as well. I’ll also be including my recommended, PUG friendly route via the Mythic Dungeon Tools addon for anyone interested.
Some background on myself, my name is Tactyks and I am an avid M+ player, achieving the 0.1% M+ title numerous times on 5 different specs, as well as competing in The Great Push in season 4 of Shadowlands. I also create M+, Raid, and tank guide content on my YouTube and Twitch channels, so be sure to stop by and say hi!

Fan Of Blades applies a bleed to all players, be ready with healing cooldowns or bleed cleanses if you have them.
Wind Chakram fires a projectile towards a random player that returns to the boss, make sure you are avoiding this. At the same time, you’ll want to be ready to dodge the tornadoes created by Chakram Vortex.

Araknath Boss Fight
Tanks make sure to stay in melee of the stationary boss to prevent Blast Wave from casting. At the same time, all players should beware of the 5yd AoE Defensive Protocol creates underneath the boss.
Non-tanks should be ready to intercept the Energize beams Lesser Constructs shoot towards the boss in sets of 3, using defensives as needed. At the same time, tanks will need to point the Fiery Smash line attack away from these players while also stepping out of the effect yourself.
After 12s Energize ends, triggering a Heart Exhaustion frontal that all players should avoid, stepping into the AoE under the boss if needed.
At full energy the boss uses Supernova, which deals more damage if any Energize beams come in contact with them, so be ready with group defensives if this happens.
Rukhran Trash
Sun Talon Tamer
- Be ready to kite if debuffed with Mark Of Death and use defensives if needed
Skyreach Sun Talon
- Use CCs to lock these mobs down when they become Bloodcrazed
Rukhran Boss Fight
Make sure to quickly swap to the Sunwing mob spawned by Sunbreak, which fixates a random player with Burning Pursuit and pulses for heavy group damage. Avoid killing them on top of any eggs, which these mobs turn into on death, otherwise they will respawn.
For tanks this boss is also stationary, so stay in range to avoid having Screech cast. The only time you can leave is during Searing Quills, where everyone should hide behind the central pillar, just make sure you quickly get back to the boss when this ends. On top of that, make sure you’re using a defensive for every cast of Burning Claws.
High Sage Viryx Boss Fight
Scorching Ray targets 3 players at a time, healers watch these players, and if targeted multiple times in a row be ready to use a defensive.
Cast Down targets a random player and drags them off the edge of the platform, run towards the entrance (but don’t hug the wall as this can bug it out) if targeted to maximize the travel distance, while everyone else swaps to the mob ASAP and uses stuns to slow it down.
If targeted by a Lens Flare make sure that you run towards the sides of the platform, using movement cooldowns to avoid the beam that chases you down and leaves a trail of fire.
Finally, keep an interrupt rotation on Solar Blast to reduce your tank’s damage intake.
