Kalecgos Strategy — Sunwell Plateau

Phase 5 · Sunwell Plateau · 3 tanks, 5-6 healers, rest dps

The Sunwell opener, a two-realm fight. The blue dragon Kalecgos is corrupted by the demon Sathrovarr; the raid splits between the physical room (fighting Kalecgos's body) and the Spectral Realm (fighting Sathrovarr), teleporting between them via the Spectral Blast debuff. Both must die close together.

Fight phases

  1. 1

    Two realms

    Most of the raid DPS Kalecgos's dragon body in the real room, avoiding Arcane Buffet and the wing-buffet knockback. Players hit by Spectral Blast phase into the Spectral Realm to fight Sathrovarr, who heals off Kalecgos — the two bosses share a corruption link, so balance their health.

By role

Tanks

One tank on Kalecgos in the real room, one (or a rotation) on Sathrovarr in the Spectral Realm, plus coverage for Kalec's dragon form in the realm. Position Kalecgos so the tail/wing buffet doesn't fling the raid off. Curse of Boundless Agony forces players into the realm on a timer.

Healers

Split healing across both realms — the Spectral Realm group can't be reached from outside, so healers must be phased in on both sides. Arcane Buffet ramps raid damage the longer Kalec lives; keep both tank groups covered.

DPS

Balance damage so Kalecgos and Sathrovarr die within seconds of each other (Sathrovarr heals Kalec via Corrupting Strike). When Spectral Blast phases you, kill Sathrovarr in the realm, then return. Don't over-DPS one side.

Common mistakes

  • ✕Killing one boss too far ahead of the other — the survivor heals back up.
  • ✕No healer phased into the Spectral Realm to cover that group.
