This guide will focus on an extensive overview of the dungeon, providing vital informationto increase your chance of completing the key. We will cover all 4 boss fightssupported by the most notable trash enemies in thedungeon and their important abilities. If you would like to learn about the rest of thedungeon in Season 2, please see ouroverviews linked below. Otherwise, without further ado, let us begin!

• Fetid Maggot is the first enemy you will be facing here; there is onlyone ability you should do your best to stop, and that is Rotten Bile.
• Focus on killing Chosen Blood Matron quickly, as their Blood Harvest & Savage Cleave combo will leaveyou in a critical condition. In addition, the longer the mob stays alive,the more, the harder it will be to deal with the surrounding trash dueto its uninterruptable buff - Warcry.
• Use your defensive cooldowns when dealing with Underrot Tick, upondeath, they will Blood Burst. In addition, they will leave a stackableBleed effect on your tank - Blood Maw, hence why it isimportant to quickly nuke it.
• Devout Blood Priest is going to be the most important caster mob in this area,they can fully heal either themselves or any other mob with Dark Reconstitution,cast a dangerous Blood Bolt direct spell and buff an enemy with Gift of G'huun. Use all of your interrupts on this mob, as every cast isimportant to be stopped.
• Use your defensive cooldowns if you are caught in one of theFanatical Headhunter's Hooked Snare.
• If you get targeted by Befouled Spirit's Dark Omen, use yourdefensive cooldown as you can't stop the cast otherwise. Harrowing Despair mustbe interrupted at all times.

• Interrupt Blood Bolt.
• Side-step Elder Leaxa's Sanguine Feast. It will jumpon a random player's location, hence why it is important to be closer to the boss.
• Avoid the Creeping Rot frontal.
• When Elder Leaxa is casting Blood Mirror, shift your focustowards the Blood Effigy, as the spawn will have the same abilitiesas the boss. Kill it quickly before you run out of interrupts and wipe!

• Once Blood Effigy has spawned, move closer to the add to enablemore efficient 2-target cleave from your party members.

• Quickly top up the Taint of G'huun debuff.
• Keep people at full health after they have received damage from Blood Bolt.

Once you defeat Elder Leaxa head down the bridge to meet the nextobstacle of Underrot - Cragmaw. Before this, here is the trash you willface:

• Feral Bloodswarmer is the hardest mob in this area because of itsrelentless Thirst For Blood. It will randomly select a partymember from your group and chase it down until to re-fixate someone else.Use your party-wide utility to stop the mob from coming close to you.In addition, interrupt its Sonic Screech cast.
• Avoid the Living Rot's Foul Sludge ground visuals.Don't waste your extra kicks on Wave of Decay; you can simplyrun out of the pool of decay!
• Interrupt Diseased Lasher's Decaying Mind at allcost; failing to do so will likely result in a death. In the case it goes through,you can Dispel it!
• Your tank must pay attention to Fallen Deathspeaker's Wicked Frenzy; you can't interrupt it, but you can use stun or disturb effects to stop it. If this goesthrough, you will have a follow-up effect - Wicked Assault. In addition,interrupt its Raise Dead cast.
• Reanimated Guardian is the last non-boss-enemy you will face here; they have no other ability than Bone Shield; you can damage tobreak it or use Purge effects to remove it!

• Stack together near a wall to "bait" the Charge.
• Step away from the Indigestion frontal.
• Use your defensive cooldowns when Tantrum has beencast. Use your movement speed abilities to collect the ground puddlesduring its channel.
• During any of the Cragmaw's abilities, the boss will have a follow-upeffect called Infested. Essentially each of the boss's abilities willspawn several ground puddles; if unsoaked for 8 seconds, theywill Metamorphosis into Blood Tick. And if you rememberthis mob from earlier, it will Blood Burst upon death andleave a stackable Bleed effect on your tank - Blood Maw.

• Once you get fixated by the Indigestion, do not move sincethe frontal will follow you!
• Help your team collect as many ground puddles as you can during the Tantrum channel.

• Communicate with your team accordingly to ensure you always have eitherdefensive cooldowns or your healing cooldowns for Tantrumchannel.

• Grotesque Horror will trigger upon walking closer to them; they canbe crowd-control in case you don't have enough interrupts for its Death Bolt cast.
• Bloodsworn Defiler is the hardest mob here; here are a few things to do whenfacing it: First, you always want to interrupt Shadow Bolt Volley, followedby the second priority to interrupt - Withering Curse. When Summon Spirit Drain Totem has been cast; step away to preventyou from dying!

• If you get targeted by Upheaval, use it on any remaining Boundless Rot. Your main goal here is to make sure to clear all Boundless Rot before the deadly Festering Harvest.
• If you get in touch with any of the Volatile Pods, you willget a frontload damage + Decaying Spores stackable Diseaseeffect. And yes, Decaying Spores stacks can be dispelled.

• You can use the Shockwave to remove the remaining Boundless Rot before the Festering Harvest cast.Just be careful not to hit any party member!

• If you do have a Disease dispel, do it if anyone has Decaying Sporesstacks.
• During the Festering Harvest, be mindful that if anyone gets hit byany flying spores, use your healing on them!

Once you have defeated Sporecaller Zancha, head down towards the finalpart of the dungeon, where you will meet Unbound Abomination. Here is moreinformation on the non-boss-enemies that awaits you:

• The only new enemy you will face here will be Faceless Corruptor.Those mobs are extremely dangerous due to their one-shot frontal ability - Maddening Gaze and lethal ground effect - Abyssal Reach.It is safe to say that you want to avoid pulling more than one per pack!

The boss fight is simple, yet many people play itwrong. One major thing to keep in mind is that throughout the fight,Titan Keeper Hezrel will help you out with any incoming Blood Visageby casting Purge Corruption. In addition, it will also helpyou manage the magical debuffs throughout the fight, offering you a cleanse!Here is a more detailed overview of the fight:

• You will need to break 3 times Unbound Abomination's Blood Barrier to defeat the boss. Each time you breakit, 2x Blood Visages will spawn. The trick here is not to allocateany damage cooldowns to them as the Titan Keeper Hezrel willkill them with Purge Corruption & Holy Bolt.
• Every couple of seconds, the boss will apply Putrid Bloodto all players in your party, use the incoming Cleansing Lightto remove the stacks of the whole party. Using Dispel and Immunity can alsoget rid of the Putrid Blood stacks!
• Stack together as a team and move forward once your team members get targeted by Vile Expulsion. This way, you will avoidfrontal damage and be far away from the pockets of corruption. Just keep in mind that after every Vile Expulsionfrontal Rotting Spore will spawn, slowly moving towards you,any damage will break it, and disturbing effects can also influence them!

• Taunt any nearby Blood Visages to prevent any casultiesby taking the aggro!
• Move the boss forward once you see Vile Expulsion hasbeen cast to create a safe space without any pockets of corruption onthe ground.

• Dispel any Putrid Blood stacks from your party membersto ease the fight. You might want to rotate their defensive cooldowns pairedwith your dispels to make it easier.
