The Lost City of Zul-Garud: how to beat

A guide to the whole place: waves and bosses in order. Numbers come from the game’s data; loot is in the item atlas and on the The Lost City of Zul-Garud page.

In short

• Raid · levels 60 · bosses: 7
• Party: 5 heroes — tank, healer, 3 damage dealers.
• Recommended item level: 220, on heroic — 232. It is advice only: enemies don’t change.
• Heroic: bosses get ×1.05–1.26 damage and ×1 Health over normal (each on its own page); the whole-party hit ×1.3.
• Bosses with a whole-party hit: 0 of 7. Every boss has its own page: abilities, turn-by-turn rhythm, roles.

Waves between bosses

• Before each boss there is a wave of 1–3 enemies of one kind from the list below; the wave’s level matches the next boss.
• Taunt holds the whole wave at once — the tank presses it before the first enemy turn. Damage dealers kill one enemy after another: each kill removes its hits.
• A wave only hits the tank: the biggest takes up to 17% of their Health per turn. Healing the tank is enough; shields and big heals are for the bosses.
