==Strategy==

The encounter begins with a gauntlet consisting of three nightmare sequences including all previous bosses except Cookie. Every one of these shade bosses stacks a debuff on the tank increasing physical damage taken by 1000 per stack. First the players must release themselves from custody using the four steam pressure vents before they are lowered into the lava. After that the first nightmare sequence starts. The room will be filled with fire and the icicles falling from the ceiling (similiar to the ones from the Hodir encounter) will fall. The nightmare will shift when the players kill the shade of Glubtok.
   
  +
The second sequence involves Helix Gearbreaker and a large amount of spider mobs. Keep in the corner at the door and nuke down Helix. The third sequence requires the players to avoid the spinning spark walls and kill Foe Reaper 5000. There are safe spots in between the rotating spark barriers. The fourth sequences requires saving the Harrington family members by killing three worgen attacking each of them and finally James Harrington himself, who is strangling his wife. The healer should heal his wife to prevent her from being strangled. After that sequence the nightmare elixir will lose its grip upon the players.
   
  +
Rest and pull Vanessa to continue the fight. During the fight, melee and caster adds will spawn inside the hut and aid Vanessa. When she will reach 50% health she will flee and detonate the explosives on the ship. Players must escape using the ropes that appear on the far side of boat (opposite where you entered). The ropes swing you back on deck and the fight against Vanessa resumes. This repeats at 25%.
