This is a very exciting addition and one that promises XP and riches to all that can step to the challenge. However, you may be wondering how to beat this raid. Well, allow us to help. Here is our essential guide to the Sanctum of Domination raid in WoW Shadowlands.
How to Beat The Sanctum of Domination
The key to finishing this particular raid is by understanding the various strategies needed to beat each boss you encounter. The player will climb the tower and encounter a new boss on every floor. So we aim to offer some tips and tricks for each boss which will help you ascend to the top in record time. Here is a cheat sheet for each boss below:
Boss One – Tarragrue
- Make use of the anima powers dropped by the infused goliaths before the fight. These will allow you to intercept attacks.
- Spread out loosely to avoid the effect of predator’s Howl
- When the creature reaches 10% health, it will only perform melee attacks so adjust your approach as needed.
Boss Two – Eye of the Jailer
- This boss has a powerful attack and debuff called fractured soul. Be sure to move out of this attack’s range and if it hits you, collect all the soul shards to remove the debuff
- Split your group in half to deal with each Deathseeker Eye
- Step away from other players when the enemy casts Desolation Beam
- Use grapple to avoid Annihilating glare
Boss Three – The Nine
- Run away when Kyra is casting Wings of rage until she finishes channelling. However, run toward Signe when she casts Reverberating Refrain.
- Formless masses will spawn intermittently, don’t pay them too much mind
- Be sure to interrupt the songs of dissolution cast
Boss Four – Soulrender Dormazain
- When Torment is cast, move to a safe patch and stand on Mawsworn Agonizers when affected by the Brand of Torment cast
- Do not stand in the River of Souls

Boss Five – Remnant of Ner’zhul
- Be sure to move out during attacks such as Grasp of Malice or spite
- Tanks must use Suffering to remove Eternal Torment from the Orb of Torment

Boss Six – Painsmith Raznal

- Be mindful of floor spikes and avoid where possible
- When Shadowsteel Embers spawn, move away from their position.
- When Spiked Balls spawn, mark one and kill this to create a path to break through

- Stand in the Radiant Energy when the boss is receiving a buff from this but move away before they cast Meltdown
- Keep your distance from the Suppression Field under sentries

Boss Nine – Kel’Thuzad
- When Oblivion’s Echo is cast, move away from others

- Kill soul shards and have a tank pick three of these up to remove Soul Exhaustion debuff
- Send half your DPS and some healer characters to deal with the Remnant of Kel’Thuzad while the rest stay in the normal realm
