Welcome to the combat guide against Sanguino, XNUMXth Boss of the Hellfire Citadel gang.
Encounter Lore
Upon finding himself in the heart of the Auchindoun mausoleum, Shadow Council Lieutenant Teron'gor gorged himself with hundreds of draenei souls, turning into a bloated abomination. Turned into more than a mere orc, Teron'gor renounced his old name and adopted a new one: Sanguino.
Bloodthirsty
Sanguino devours the spirits of players who would otherwise have suffered lethal damage. Once consumed, players move into Sanguino's stomach, filled with hostile trapped souls trying to escape to the outside world to attack the gang. While in Sanguino's stomach, players can damage these souls to weaken or defeat them before they manage to escape.
Each liberated or dead soul reduces Sanguino's energy. When his energy reaches zero, he initiates a Feast of Souls that recharges him to renew his attack.

Strategy
In the match against Sanguino it is very important to maintain range throughout the match to avoid excessive damage from Emerging shadows, so that before starting the fight each one of us will take a position and try to maintain it until the end.
The ideal way is to form a fan, leaving the central area for the healers and the entire band at rank 5 occupying the entire room.
At the beginning of the Sanguino encounter, he will have all his energy and he will spend it by making use of his abilities, let's see how to handle each of them while we are in the outer room:
- Accumulation of darkness, Sanguino will only use this attack if it does not detect anyone melee, it seems obvious but just in case we emphasize it 🙂
- Touch of doom, the player marked by the tag must run to the back of the room and leave the Well of Doom as close as possible to it. This ability is frequent throughout the meeting, if we do not manage the space well we can end up without a room.
- Shared destination, one player will be rooted and linked to two others, they must get within 6m of the rooted player within 10 seconds or else the entire raid will suffer the damage effect.
- Emerging shadowsAs we mentioned at the beginning, we must always keep rank 5 between us.
- Crushing darknessWe simply have to avoid the areas that will explode shortly after appearing.
In addition to facing these skills, we will see 3 types of minions appear in the room. While we are in the outer room, they will be priority in focus:
- Distances> Bloodbound Essence> Bloodbound Spirit>Bloodbinder Construct
- If we see that a teammate is going to be hit by a Bloodlink Construct, we will prioritize killing them to prevent them from using Hunger for life, killing him and hurting the entire gang.
- Melés> Bloodbound Spirit> Bloodbound Essence> Bloodbound Construct
- They will not normally move from the melee, unless distances are unable to kill Essences and Constructs.
Sanguino will also use his ability Death shadow, if we are targets of it or if we receive damage from an ability that on another occasion would have caused us death, we will be consumed and we will be in Sanguino's stomach.
While we are inside we will have a different objective depending on our role in the band:
- Dps: kill Enigmatic assembly
- Healers: Heal Tortured Essences
- Tank: they will logically enter one by one and their function will be to quickly call the Angry spirit, it will hold it inside the stomach until its health reaches 70% matching the ability Onslaught, then they will go out to the outer room and will have to call the spirit again.
When Sanguino consumes his energy bar, he will change phase and make use of his ability. Feast of Souls. During this phase we will place all together in melee, except for the tanks and if necessary some dps with good mitigation to help intercept the Unstable soul advancing towards the boss. During the minute that the phase lasts, we must chain healing CDs to maintain the band, since we will receive 45.399 points. Shadow damage every 2 sec.
Sanguino will go through both phases until he is defeated, as a note to say that in the first Feast of Souls We will have to make use of Heroism and all our damage CDs, since during this phase it receives 100% damage. In this way for the second Feast of Souls, we will have regenerated the CD's for both damage and healing.
