Zanzil, currently the fourth boss of Zul'Gurub, has moved to the area previously occupied by Jin'do the Hexxer. Here is an accurate map pointing to his current location.
Zanzil's trash is worth saying a few words about. It consists of two packs - the first pack are two casters, surrounded by a swarm of non-elite zombies. Your tank should grab the Hellfire buff from the nearby Zanzil's Cauldron of Burning Blood and jump into the pack. The DPS may want to help the tank by also getting the Hellfire buff, or may just choose to AoE them down with their normal abilities.
The second pack are two Gurubashi Berserkers, who will randomly fixate on two seperate targets from the party and start chasing them. The fixate has a timer, and when it ends another target is chosen. When they acquire target, they drop their threat table and thus cannot be tanked. When the pull occurs, they should be frozen using Zanzil's Cauldron of Frostburn Formula, which is also located nearby. Freeze both of them and concentrate your DPS on the one that has been frozen first, and after he drops dead - switch to the second one.
Zanzil himself will attack his primary threat target with Shadowbolts, which can and must be interrupted or spellreflected. He will also cast an ability called Feu zanzili, which is essentially a fire trail that spawns on the tank and a few yards behind him. Move out of it ASAP.
Through the whole fight, he will randomly perform one of the three abilities, which can be countered by the cauldrons located in the vicinity:
Elixir de résurrection de Zanzil. Zanzil will raize a swarm of non-elite zombies from one of the nearby corpse piles. Similar to the trash pack before the boss, the tank must grab a Hellfire buff from the Burning Blood cauldron and jump into the newly-spawned pack. The DPS must switch to the zombies and bring them down.
Gaz de cimetière de Zanzil / #2. Zanzil will fill the fighting area with toxic gas, which deals 5/10% of maximum health as Nature damage every second. Getting the buff from Zanzil's Cauldron of Toxic Torment helps mitigate the damage.
Elixir de résurrection de Zanzil. Zanzil will revive one of the Berserkers, suspended in the corners of the area. Similar to the trash pack before the boss, the Berserker must be frozen using the Frostburn Formula cauldron. The DPS then must switch from the boss to the Berserker and kill him quickly.

Just a tip for Dk's..
You can steal Feu zanzili with Sombre simulacre

It's nice to see that not just Onyxia and Nefarian have been busy levelling in Cataclysm.

He took his time, but finally our level 44 slacker is ready for raiding!

As has been pointed out, there are three phases to deal with with fairly simple mechanics for each plus a little extra for the tank to do. We found it best to try to tank Zanzil between the red and green cauldrons as much as possible (I'll explain why in a bit).

Zombie Phase

Zanzil will start throwing potions toward a group of corpses which will then be reanimated as zombies. The tank should run to the red cauldron to get the Burning Blood buff as soon as possible. (Others can get this buff as well, but it works like Hellfire, damaging both you and everyone around you so you might want to limit the amount of group damage taken by simply using AoE's on the zombies.) The tank runs through the zombies to get aggro and back to Zanzil where the entire group can be AoE'd down.

Gas Phase

Zanzil will fill the entire room with green gas. Everyone gets the Toxic Torment buff from the green cauldron and you burn the boss.

Berserker Phase

Probably the trickiest phase to deal with(kinda like being the tallest of the 7 dwarves, as none of these phases are that hard), a single Berserker will appear and begin pursuing random targets. You can see which berserker is coming as Zanzil will throw bottle at him to bring him to life. The berserkers have no threat table and will cast Pursuit on a single target and chase that target around the room. To deal with this, do a couple things:

Have one DPS dedicated to grabbing the Frostburn Formula from the white cauldron. The berserker can only be frozen once so having everyone run to the cauldron simply wastes time. All DPS burn the berserker until dead, with one exception...
Whoever has Pursuit cast on them runs away from the berserker. Kite and cast anything you can while on the move to allow the other DPS more time to kill the berserker.
Tank stays on the boss, ensuring that his Zanzili Fire is always fired away from the group.

I did mention that I prefer to tank this boss between the red and green cauldrons. There are a couple reasons for that:

The tank will need to reach the red and green cauldrons so this gets you close to both.
This position keeps Zanzil on the "edge" of the room so it's easy to make sure he's constantly casting Zanzili Fire toward a wall and not toward the group. That fire hurts and the tank can help a lot by ensuring that no one else has to worry about it.

As an aside, this guy likes to spam spells so he can be difficult to move. Use the few seconds of silence following an interrupt to move him about.

Commentaire de Chilela

The cauldron "buffs" are labeled as magic debuffs, so it's important for these to NOT be dispelled (with the exception of the burning blood debuff, which can be dispelled once the zombies are dead.)

Commentaire de bloodseek

Here's how my group did it last night and it went without any difficulty.

Tank Zanzil near the center of all 3 cauldrons, making sure the dps stay behind him as much as possible as his Zanzili Fire really hurts.

He'll randomly use the three elixirs. when he resurrects one of the berserkers or the zombies, he will throw a vile at them so you can clearly tell which add(s) are being called

For the Toxic Gas elixir, have everyone run to the green cauldron quickly to get the debuff to lessen the damage taken and quickly return to the center. this is the best time to lay into Zanzil as he'll continuously cast his shadow bolt, which can be interrupted, and his Zanzili Fire. if he is low on life, this is also a good time for heroism/blood lust or time warp.

For the red resurrection elixir, he will revive a handful of zombies, as the tank, I ran to the zombies quickly and picked them up and then to the burning blood and then back to the center. The DPS, both ranged and melee, ran and picked up the burning blood with me and with the combined aoe, the zombies died right before the next elixir as well as continuing damage on Zanzil. If you have a priest, mass dispel as soon as the zombies are downed. Otherwise dispel as quickly as possible.

For the blue resurection elixir, we had one of the ranged (mage) go and grab the blue cauldron as you only need one and had him use an instant on the add as all the dps focused on downing him as quickly as possible while the tank and healer stayed in the middle.

with enough dps, you can down all the adds and return to the middle quickly enough to continue dps on zanzil as well as react to the next elixir.

He says that Zul'gurub is nothing without me? How cute. I wish I wouldn't have killed him :(

Commentaire de 821866

We also wiped a few times, but I finally come up with the winning strategy.

The problem with this boss is that it's highly healing intensive. If the healer's (and tank) gear is mainly blues, he will run oom probably before zanzil is at 50% health. At least that is my experience so far (I was tanking)... Therefore we tried the "NUKE HIS A**" strategy, which I will summarize:

- everyone dps the boss, avoid fire, interrupt, all that the other guys said.
- when he casts Zanzil's Graveyard Gas go and drink from the green cauldron and continue dps.
- when he resurrects a berserker, one range dps (assigned before fight begins) goes and drinks from the ice couldron, freezes the add and turns back to dps-ing the boss. When the berserker is no longer frozen, the targeted player kites him around; same for second berserker if spawned.
- when he resurrects the pack of zombies, the tank drinks from the red cauldron, aggro's the pack and continues dps'ing the boss.

If everyone drinks from green cauldron when needed, avoids fire and focuses dps on boss, the fight will be shorter so doable.

If most of you are in ilvl 359+ you can probably do it in any way you like :)

Commentaire de Reixes

Fun boss, except I wouldn't let him touch your rogues.

Commentaire de OldWolf

The red cauldron does NOT damage friendly players, and it only ticks for 3K, so everyone can get it and it's no problem.

We found it a billion times easier for the tank to get the red cauldron and the DPS just to ignore the zombies and stay focussed on the boss. The zombies dont hit too hard and they will die gradually.

Commentaire de 583527

The fight can be really hard if tank isn't paying attention to the fire on the ground, or dps not focusing on big add. From my personal experiences the fight was far more harder to our guild group than Jin'do. Most important aspect of fight is however using the green cauldron when gas starts to flow in.

Commentaire de 777017

If you have Death Knights in the group they can use Dark Simulacrum on Zanzil Fire and really ruin his day.

Commentaire de 661165

Located at the place where Jin'do the Hexxer was before

Always stand near the Green cauldron which gives you resistance to nature damage for when he casts Toxic Aura
Decide who have to use the Frost cauldron for the Berserker

Note: If you keep wiping on this boss, let only the tank use the Fire cauldron as it does damage on yourself also

Commentaire de Nieniin

I know that he works with zombies and with Jin'do, but I do feel a little bad killing Zanzil. He just wants friends, you guys!

Commentaire de lopezchess007

Who needs friends? Zanzil just makes his own!

Oh wait we killed those...now I feel bad too.

Commentaire de 832111

It seems Ruins of Aboraz was merely a setback...

Commentaire de xeiron

You can only use the ice cauldron only once, could people stop thinking you can use it countless amount of times?...

Commentaire de petre

Just a clarification, an add will only be affected by the freeze once, and is then immune afterwards. The buff (and thus the freeze effect) can be regained by a player as many times as you like. Yes?

Commentaire de petre

Movement time is key, as the cauldrons seem a bit far apart in my opinion. At least, considering how hard the boss is to move properly after the pull, and the way he wanders before. I find myself waiting until he randomly heads over to where I'd like to tank him, which can be annoying.

As a warrior I can tank a little closer to the green cauldron. If a zombie group spawns I can Bond héroïque almost all the way to the red cauldron, then Intervention/Charge/Interception to get back to the action.

A druid tank could likely use Ruée rugissante to the same end. A DK would probably have to foot it all the way over to the red cauldron, but at least Mort et décomposition to grab the zombies off the healer at some distance. A paladin...I'd probably pull my hair out having to run every time.

A priest could Saut de foi of course.

It'd take some math to be sure, but I'll advocate for the DPS to AoE the adds. I believe success depends on the healer being able to keep everyone up, and I think reducing incoming damage on the tank (via the adds dying faster) is every bit as helpful as making the boss die faster by ignoring the adds. If you have a DK to Sombre simulacre the adds then I'd change my mind :)

Dont know why, but his voice just makes me think of Achmed the dead terrorist.

Commentaire de 247268

For when Zanzil summons a Zanzali Berserker, I'd like to point out that as with all the other Berserkers, if you manage to get two people with the Frostburn debuff to damage him at the exact same time you can instantly kill him. It can be a big weight off everyone's shoulders (and their backs).

Commentaire de therailz

this guy can be really hard, we tried doing it with no special strats just grab the red for zombies ect ect, and it was a wipe fest on the other hand the first time i tanked it he went down easy so i dont know maybe just a bad group, but he can be a pain wish i had know i could Dsim the fire line that would have been nice

Commentaire de 798034

very basic boss.
ranged stand near blue cauldron incase he summons a berserker
melee in between red and green.
if its the zerker ranged dps get the blue cauldron and kill the zerker.
if its zombies plate dps can grab red and aggro/tank the zombies.

if its green gas obviously run to green cauldron.

zanzil has one basic attack u need to watchout for, Zanzil fire. he always makes fire directly infront of him so just know where hes facing and ur fine.

Commentaire de Dragon007

From the healer's perspective:

Easy fight. Stay near the green cauldron for as much of the fight as you can. You don't really need to worry about the other two. Watch for the terrible tonic hits and heal fast through those. Other than that, the only thing you need to do is stay out of the bad and run away if you get targeted. Throw interrupts whenever you can, you should have time.

What goes wrong: You get targeted by the berserker.

What to do: DO NOT RUN! Well, not far anyway. Running too far out of the fight will probably kill your party. Do a very short circle away from him toward the middle of the fight, and wait for your party to kill him. Your party should have no trouble hitting him with a freeze attack and dealing with it.

for every shaman who reads this: it says that there is an 18% chance for shoulder to drop, but it is wrote wrong, they wanted to write -18% X( 8 zanzil kills and no shoulder, plate headpiece dropped twice already.... so i can't join with my other characters because if shoulder drops for other chars i will do something bad....

LOL I am lv 24 Rogue human, just new to WOW. I am over whelmed and some what frustrated learning the way to play WOW and enjoy the game too. However, I found this to give me some what of guardian angel at my back. It gives me a place to review and I don’t have to figure and learn every thing all at once. I want to enjoy leveling and not die trying everything while I explore the continents. Thanks. Minifey
