Heroic Gate of the Setting Sun Guide

La Gate of the Setting Sun is a 5-player dungeon located between the Vale of Eternal Blossoms and the Dread Wastes in Pandaria. The dungeon is only available to level 90 players. It hosts 4 encounters: Kip'tilak Saboteur, Striker Ga'dok, Commander Ri'mok, and Raigonn.

For generations, a great wall called the Dragon's Spine has protected the inhabitants of Pandaria from the periodic assaults of the wild insects known as mantid. The brutal cycle of aggression of this breed has begun earlier than expected and has caught the defenders of the wall off guard. As the fiercest mantid warriors charge into the ancient gates, Pandaria must repel the most devastating army in its known history.

Strategies of the Heroic Gate of the Setting Sun

{tab = Missions}

Missions

There are 2 missions that can be completed within the instance. He gives you both Bowmistress Li at the entrance to the dungeon.

The first mission is Lighting the way. It requires you to light the signal flame, which is located at the north end of the wall. You will be able to access it before meeting with Commander Ri'mok , the third boss of the dungeon.

The second mission is Now that's a big bug!. Requires you to kill Raigonn, the last boss of the dungeon.

Alone, that's a big bug! it has a reward. Has a level 440 item. (See loot section above).

{tab = The Pulls}

Pulls before Kip'tilak

On your way to Kip'tilak Saboteur, the first boss of the instance, you will have to eliminate several mobs. As long as the mobs don't have any aggro, you will have to watch out for the bombs that the other Mantid units, who are flying over the walls, will drop regularly. These bombs will explode and create four fire trails that will travel from the explosions. As you can see, they can become problematic when multiple bombs fall at the same time.

{tab = Kip'tilak}

Kip'tilak Saboteur

The fight with Kip'tilak Saboteur It is relatively easy, especially since the previous mobs have already helped you to prepare against the Mantid bombs, which all they do is increase the difficulty of the combat.

In addition to dealing melee damage to the tank, Kip'tilak will often drop explosives (Stable Ammo) at random points in the room.

When one of them explodes, trails of fire will run in the room towards each of the cardinal points (north, east, south, west). Similar fire trails will be created by

Sabotage, which the boss will often throw at a random player, causing the player to explode after a few seconds.

Stable Ammo is, as the name suggests, stable. It will only detonate if it is hit by a trail of fire, which, as explained above, can be the result of another set of Stable Ammunition explosions or a player receiving the blast

Sabotage

Additionally, when Kip'tilak reaches 70% and 30% health, it will detonate all Stable Ammunition currently in the room with World on fire.

In this boss's strategy, the key is positioning. Each member of the group has to position himself in such a way that there are no bombs to the north, east, west and south of him. In this way, they will never be hit by the trails of fire, and their explosions of

Sabotage no more bombs will be detonated.

5.1. Achievement: Human Bomb

Complete the logo of

Human bomb It is very simple. You need to leave Kip'tilak Saboteur at 72 or 73% health and stop DPS until he rolls 15 Stable Ammunition around the room. During this time, group members need to avoid detonating due to their

Sabotage. When you reach 15 Stable Ammunition, lower the boss below 70% and he will detonate all the bombs with World on fire.

{tab = Ga'dok}

6. Striker Ga'dok

Striker Ga'dok It is located in the Gate Watchtower, just below the gate's north pillar. Friendly NPCs will activate an elevator so you can get there.

Like many heroic dungeon encounters, encountering the Ga'dok Striker is not difficult, as long as you pay attention to what's going on.
The most important aspect of the peel is

Bombing, which will occur twice, when Ga'dok reaches 70% and 30% health.
When this happens, the boss engulfs half of the burning platform twice (first from west to east, then north to south).
As you can see in the image to the left, the flames separate the platform in two, and it is important that you stay with the rest of your group. This will allow you to take precautions with Krik'thik besiegers who will attack the group during the bombardment.

In addition to this, you need to be careful with

Acid Pumps, which will regularly launch the Krik'thik Preturbers. These bombs create pools of poison on the surface of the platform.

Finally, healers should pay attention to

Impaling Strike y

Time to prey.

• 

  Impaling Strike deals physical damage to the tank equal to 50% of its life, so it needs to be as healed as possible.

• 

  Time to prey It is a DoT that the boss will regularly apply to group members.

{tab = Ri'mok}

Commander Ri'mok

After defeating Ga'dok, you have to use the cannons in the Gate Watchtower to secure the northern end of the walls where you can light the flame signal to Lighting the way. Then, you will have to kill a few add to be able to fight with it Commander Ri'mok.

During the fight, Ri'mok has to be continuously moved down the ramp to prevent standing in the poison chambers you create with

Viscous fluid. In effect, being on top of them causes them to pile up and increases the damage it causes and reduces the damage it receives. Stacks up to five times.

Apart from that, it is necessary avoid being in front of him because he has another attack called

Frenzied assault.

Finally, Swarmer Krik'thik y Krik'thik Saboteurs they will join the fight regularly and will have to be eliminated.

Healers need to keep in mind

To bomb, which saboteurs will regularly launch. This ability deals damage to all players.

{tab = Conscriptinator Achievement}

Achievement: Conscriptinator

Once you Commander Ri'mok is defeated, three Krik'thik recruits will appear on the wall near the entrance, allowing you to complete

conscriptinator. When they die, they leave behind a pool of poison that gives you a debuff called

Resin residue when you step on it. You need to stack this debuff three times, going through the puddle left by each of the three Krik'thik Recruits.

Notice that

Resin residue It lasts 1 minute, so you must kill the second Conscript within a minute of killing the first and third within a minute of the second.

In addition,

Resin residue increases the damage it causes

Resin Burst, one of the skills that Recruits cast. Healers need to take into account the extra damage taken as the fight with the recruits continues.

{tab = Raigonn}

Raigonn

After defeating the Commander Ri'mok, the Mantids will break open the Gate of the Setting Sun, giving a chance to Raigonn, the giant Kuchong, entering the courtyard. Here, he will nail down the last remaining stronghold between the Vale of Eternal Blossoms and the Mantid forces.

This final boss has two phases. During the first phase, you will have to break Raigonn's shell, at the same time that you face a number of enemies. During the second phase, Raigonn will lock onto a random party member and you will need to stop DPS.

Raigonn doesn't need to be tanked, but some of the enemies do.

First phase

During the first phase, you must prioritize enemies over Raigonn.

Here is a list of the different enemy types you have to deal with.

• 

  Swarm Liberator Krik'thik fixes on a group member randomly

  Raucous swarm, deals shadow damage every second to target player, as well as players within 20 yards. Killing the liberators should be the Maximum priority during this fight.

• 

  Krik'thik Protectorate They arrive in waves of 8. They must be tanked and taken down with area damage. When they reach 20% life, they cast

  Hive Mind, increasing the attack speed of nearby protectorates. The tank and healer must be prepared for when this happens. Dps must damage all protectorates at the same time until they reach the 20%, before killing them one by one.

• 

  Krik'thik Gravedigger fly overhead and create tornadoes called

  Burying winds on the floor. These tornadoes cause proximity damage within 3 meters and they should be avoided.

Raigonn should take the damage when not busy with the additional enemies.

He will keep hitting the wall to the Vale of Eternal Blossoms using

Luncheon head. It cannot be directly damaged, so you will need to break its shell by attacking its Weak point To get to the weak point, you need to use one of the launchers (as in the image on the left). Every time Raigonn uses

Luncheon head, will launch all enemies that attack its weak point on the ground, and will damage everyone within 10 meters of impact. So, remember to jump when I go hit.

Second stage

After his shell is broken, Raigonn enters the second phase. Increase its damage, by its

Broken shell, and keep using

Setting on a random player. It does not need to be tanked. Pinned players should take him away from other players because he regularly throws

Stomp.

Additional enemies stop coming out, but you may have some from the first phase. You should delete them first.

{tab = Mantid Swarm Achievement}

Achievement: Mantid Swarm

To complete the achievement

Mantid swarm, you need to defeat Raigonn without killing any additional enemies. The idea is to use all your cooldowns during the first phase to force Raigonn to enter the second phase with as few enemies as possible.

There is a great deal of chance in this achievement, as some of the waves are much more difficult to deal with than others.
