Anetheron Strategy — Mount Hyjal

Phase 3 · Mount Hyjal · 2 tanks, 5-6 healers, rest dps

A dreadlord fight built around Carrion Swarm and Sleep. Anetheron periodically Sleeps random players and drains the raid with Carrion Swarm, while Infernals rain down and must be tanked or offed before they rampage.

Fight phases

  1. 1

    Single phase

    Tank Anetheron centrally; assign someone to dispel Sleep, keep the raid spread from Carrion Swarm's cone, and pick up the Infernals that fall throughout the fight.

By role

Tanks

Face Anetheron away from the raid so Carrion Swarm only hits the front. Have an off-tank ready to grab Infernals the moment they land — a loose Infernal shreds the casters.

Healers

Sleep takes healers and players out of the fight — dispel it fast (priests especially). Carrion Swarm is a big frontal drain; pre-heal into it and top the Infernal tank.

DPS

Stay out of the Carrion Swarm cone, wake dispels aside. Swap to Infernals if your raid kills them, otherwise tunnel Anetheron and out-race the Infernal accumulation.

Common mistakes

  • ✕Standing in front for Carrion Swarm.
  • ✕Letting an Infernal run free into the healers.
