How to Kill Hellmaw and Blackheart the Inciter
Strategies for Beating Bosses in the Shadow Labyrinth
Nov 9, 2008
The Shadow Labyrinth is a level 70 instance in World of Warcraft that has four bosses that can easily be killed with a good strategy. Here is two good strategies for killing Ambassador Hellmaw and Blackheart the Inciter.
Ambassador Hellmaw
The first boss in the Shadow Labyrinth is Ambassador Hellmaw. He is a giant doomwalker with two abilities, Fear and Corrosive Acid. To win the fight, need to take care of Ambassador Hellmaw’s abilities with abilities of their own:
- Fear- When Ambassador Hellmaw fears, he fears everyone in range of melee. This can be countered by Fear Ward, Will of the Forsaken, Tremor Totem, Berserker Rage or any trinket that removes Fear. During the fight, the tank should stance dancing to avoid Fear. If a priest is available, the Fear Ward must go on the tank.
- Corrosive Acid- This deals nature damage over time and reduces the targets armor. It is a cone spell cast in front of Ambassador Hellmaw. To tank this fight, all players should melee fight Ambassador Hellmaw from behind to avoid the Corrosive Acid while the tank tanks him from the front.
If these steps are taken, then no addition tricks are needed to kill Ambassador Hellmaw. Players should simply concentrate on meleeing until he is dead.
Blackheart the Inciter
The second boss in the Shadow Labyrinth is Blackheart the Inciter.
Blackheart the Inciter has three spells to be aware of:
- Incite Chaos- It is the most deadly of the three abilities. This is a party mind control where the whole party goes nuts and starts killing each other for 15 seconds. It also dumps all aggro.
- War Stomp- This causes 1750-2250 damage. This also throws everyone in the party back and reduces aggro.
- Charge- Using this, Blackheart the Inciter will randomly charge a player, stunning them for one second. This also deals 2000 damage, however, it will not drop aggro form previous target.
To win this fight, one player needs to tank Blackheart the Inciter while the party burns any cool downs they have such as Recklessness or Arcane power, as these can kill the party when they are mind controlled. Once the Mind Control is over, let the tank get aggro before the party begins damage, since all aggro will be wiped.
Using these strategies, a group will easily be able to beat these two formidable instance bosses in the Shadow Labyrinth instance.
