WoW SoD Phase 3: Sunken Temple Raid Guide - Morphaz and Hazzas

Phase 3 has brought a new 20-man raid in the Sunken Temple where players will need to defeat 8 different bosses for a chance to get some sweet loot and gear as well as prove their might in the face of new challenges. Blizzard has made this raid a bit more mechanically-complex in comparison to the Gnomeregan and Blackfathom Deeps raids so players will have to put in some extra work.

With that being said, we will go over how you can defeat the sixth boss of the Season of Discovery Sunken Temple raid, namely Morphaz and Hazzas. We will discuss the abilities, strategy, and some helpful tips you can use to ensure that your group smoothly clears without much fuss.

Sunken Temple Morphaz and Hazzas Guide

The sixth boss you encounter in the Sunken Temple raid shares some similarities to the Lord Kelris fight in Blackfathom Deeps. There is a physical realm where you face Hazzas and a Dream realm occupied by Morphaz.

You will first face Hazzas and you will be teleported to a dream realm to face Morphaz. Both dragons share the same health pool and you deal 100% increased damage when in the Dream realm fighting Morphaz. You can have one person tanking if you avoid the Dream realm, otherwise have 2 tanks, and at least 4 healers.

Morphaz Abilities

• Eternal Slumber: This is a 30-second channel, and when completed kills everyone in the dream realm. You need to kill enemies to spawn a portal and return to the physical realm.

Hazzas Abilities

• Corrupted Breath: Frontal cone that deals significant Nature damage. Make sure to avoid it at all costs.
• Backfire: Deal severe damage to enemies behind the boss. Make sure to avoid it at all costs.
• Dreamer's Lament: Powerful DoT that cannot be dispelled. 
• Animate Flame: At 80% health, Hazzas spawns fire elementals that need to be dealt with ASAP. Upon killing them, a patch of fire will spawn on the ground and if a player is caught inside, they will be prevented from entering the dream realm. 
• Lucid Dreaming: Hazzas flies to the center of the room and starts a 20-second channel that will teleport the raid into the Dream realm. This can be prevented by breaking line-of-sight. (It is possible that Blizzard hotfixes this as the entire Dream realm sequence can be skipped.)

Morphaz and Hazzas Tips

To get out of the Dream realm, you will need to kill the Nightmare Vines spread across the room. This will open a portal and allow 1 person per portal to return to the physical realm. Morphaz only channels Eternal Slumber during this phase so you can send DPS to nuke the boss down and return to the physical realm.

At 30% health, Hazzas will channel Lucid Dreaming once more so it will be a race against the clock to defeat the boss given the 100% damage increase once you are sent into the Dream realm. Once again, you can avoid the mechanic by breaking line-of-sight if Blizzard does not hotfix this.

Tanks should swap between Corrupted Breath casts as the ability also applies a stacking DoT. 

And that is everything you need to know about defeating the sixth boss of the Sunken Temple Raid in Season of Discovery Phase 3. Best of luck, Champions of Azeroth, and may the RNG Gods be ever in your favor!
