Onyxia is the daughter of the mighty dragon Deathwing , and sister of the scheming Nefarian , Lord of Blackrock Spire. It is said that Onyxia delights in corrupting the mortal races by meddling in their political affairs.
To this end it is believed that she takes on various humanoid forms and uses her charm and power to influence delicate matters between the different races. Some believe that Onyxia has even assumed an alias once used by her father - the title of the royal House Prestor.
When not meddling in mortal concerns, Onyxia resides in a fiery cave below the Dragonmurk , a dismal swamp located within Dustwallow Marsh. There she is guarded by her kin, the remaining members of the insidious black dragonflight. Onyxia's lair is in a volcanic cave in Dustwallow Marsh. The floor of the main cavern is just solid enough that Onyxia can sit on it normally without cracking the floor and revealing the lava below.
This is intentional; if seriously threatened, she shatters the floor, exposing the lava to further damage her enemies. She has over one hundred eggs in her clutch, but her mate is unknown. King Varian Wrynn and a group of Alliance heroes were able to assault her lair and slay Onyxia.
Onyxia was decapitated and her head was brought back to Stormwind City to be hung from the gates. After her death, Broll Bearmantle summoned roots from the ground to crush and kill her unborn progeny. The level 80 version of Onyxia drops headpieces with similar names and models as the Tier 2 ones the original level 60 version had. Comment by I just solo'd Ony on my 80 Holy paladin, wearing a mix of Holy and Ret gear, mostly blues with a couple epics. It took 45 minutes, but was totally worth it because she dropped my T2 helm!
It was so easy as a pally, just use Divine Plea on every cooldown, keep yourself healed at all times, and don't worry about whelps, just kill them with consecrate. Comment by Onyxia's gate for the entrance is at 56,71 at Dustwallow Marsh. In the road of Onyxia watch out for her guard the Onyxia warders. Comment by For some reason I couldnt find it from your directions Your co-ordinates are correct Comment by Wolfshead Why do you guys say she drops g?
Comment by The amount of gold she drops was lowered in patch 3. Comment by Yeah, just did my weekly solo with my shaman and dropped only 54g :. Didn't come close to death. Priest didn't even have to heal alf of the time, just helped DPS.
The shammy probably could have solo'd her. Made up wards of 90g from the gold and DE'd items. Comment by Soloing her is so easy now that Blizzard have nerfed her wealth, last time she dropped 50g, down from like g. Don't think any of her drops have been nerfed though, thankfully.
Comment by Pretty easy as Ret in Naxx10 Gear - I'm dropping her in under 11 now, and should be able to get sub minutes once I upgrade my weapon TS Destroyer Couple things to remember: 1. Use Fire Res Aura - you take very little damage, so you can Your Consecrate and DS will take care of the whelps This is pretty much the only time you have to use Cons. Enjoy : Tonedef, Turalyon. Comment by Harol I have been soloing her for a few weeks in a row since the expension as my 80 enhance shammy, today, I was not able to kill her, seems like there is more whelps and she uses deep breath more.
She definitely seems harder to kill now. Comment by mtp Just two-manned her - I'm lvl 80 Shadow Priest in mostly man Naxx gear and my son, a lvl 80 DK geared in quest blues with a couple of purple crafted items. We only received 26 gold each, however.
What's with the loot? Comment by FallenTemplar Is this possaible to solo as a 80 fury warrior? Comment by Im a ret pally, in Titansteel Gear. Not too much, ap, 21k health Well. First thing, is that Onyxia has been nerfed really badly, since that I solo her in a matter of 15 minutes, her gold has been reducted from around g to a measly sum of 51g. She drops around 3 or 4 epics, 3 BoE rares, a onyxia hide backpack and her head of course, which gives you a choice of 4 items.
It is a very. Which will become a major problem. Just keep your heals up to full. When Phase 2 comes around, she flys up in the air and casts fireball. Fairly easy to kill around 3k health per one. Dont be tricked. But you can attack her when she is floating up in the air. Phase 3 is basic, she casts bellowing roar every 10 seconds of the last phase, which fears you for 2 - 3 seconds.
Just tank her at the back wall. So you wont run into the whelp nests and cause more trouble. She gives an OK, loot. But I'd prefer to run the 4 Dragons of Nightmare. Gatman, Blackrock US. Comment by I killed her today, this was the setup: lvl 80 Prot Pala lvl 80 Prot Pala lvl 69 Resto Druid lvl 68 Blood DK me Technically, we just tanked and spanked, she died pretty quickly cause of the palas dmg. I had fun, even though she didnt put up with a real fight. Comment by What is the minimum level required to enter Onyxia's Lair?
Comment by Thoosteran I just solo'ed her as an 80 feral druid, tank specced. I one-shot her with no strategy going in. Phase one was so easy, just tank n spank, I used Frenzied Regeneration once, but it probably wasn't necessary. I am also an herbalist so I have Lifeblood and with the Frenzied Regen glyph I could get back to full health every 3 minutes.
Phase 2 was annoying because I had trouble finding her, but the whelps would go down with a couple of swipes. Deep breath barely did anything, same with the fireballs, but I was a little low on health during parts of Phase 2. Overall it was quite easy, just took a while because I was often rage starved so couldn't do as much damage as I would have liked.
Comment by How to. Comment by As an Elemental Shaman, I found this fight is very easy. It takes me between 10 - 20 minutes each time. For Elemental Shamans looking to do this, just spam Lightning Bolt till she drops due to how mana efficent it is. On Phase 3 instead of Stoneskin, use Tremor Which you should know to do anyways.
In Phase 2, eating Deep Breaths are nothing, just start a heal when you see it and it's like it never happened. The hunter died of course but me and the other ret 2 maned Onyxia and her friends in 30 minutes! Comment by people with no cord. Comment by hypnoticbob I want to point out that you do NOT have to be level 55 to enter or participate in this raid.
I am not yet sure of the level restriction, but as soon as I know I will update this information. At this time of writing, the lowest person in the raid is level Comment by Question And no im not crazy but i really think we can pull this off. Comment by and we would skip the ttrash mobs btw. Comment by how long does onyxia take to finish for the horde? Comment by Ive easily soloed her as a feral druid. The Damage was lower, but i made it out fine.
My improved aspect of the pack kept me in a nice health balance. During Air phase i went into cat form. Besides my Improved aspect of the pack kept me healed. But sometimes i got low on hp and healed while she was moving to another fire range. And i killed whelps when they showed up, to make sure they dont overwhelm me. When she landed again, i went bear form again to be able to get reduced damage.
Becuz if i went cat, she would deal more damage. And if i tried to heal while she was chasing me, the damage would be even greater, and i would loose more than gain. She also kept fearing me with bellowing roar, but that was not much to worry about. It took around 35 minutes to kill her, but it was alot of gold to loot, plus a 16 slot bag, and in addiction i didnt have to roll for the loot XD.
Comment by I havn't seen any comments of mages soloing Onyxia She went down pretty easily in approx 8 minutes according to Skada. Didn't have any fire resist, I didn't try to avoid any of her attacks, and when the whelps came I just dropped Death and Decay and let nature take its course.
I angled myself so when she knocked me back it was away from the eggs, I just dealt with fear, and basically ground into her. Tank and spank. Comment by Bahthalend If your doing this as a warrior make sure, for the sake of your sanity that you spec into storm bolt and dragon roar. Also I found that in certain areas of the room during P2 it is possible to hit her with AoE's like hero leap and whirlwind if you get right under her, also second wind makes you just about invincible as long as whelps are under control.
Does anyone happen to know if 25 man has any higher chance to drop the mount? I'll gladly take two years fighting her if it means higher mount chance. Took 3 attemps. Save yourself the trouble and bring some friends. It's not difficult to solo as Prot Paladin but P2 lasts forever. Set Ony as focus and stay under her hitbox at all times, AOE abilities hit, single target ranged abilities hit as well. Definitely bringing some ranged DPS class along with me next time Comment by Shauned71 Came across this post an hour or so ago while just reading about, bored.
Thought I would give it a try on 10 man. And know its only a lvl 80 raid but i'm far from a hardcore player so not the sharpest tool in the box as far as playing goes, to me it was still looking like a bit of a challenge. Popped all CD's at start.. Banner, Reck, Bloodfury etc very quick getting to P2. Once Ony was up in the air i kinda ran around like a headless chicken a bit, wasn't sure what would be best way to deal with adds etc..
P2 must of took me a bit over 2 minutes as my CD's were refreshed by time she landed again. P3, popped Cd's again and nuked to the end. Fight over in just under 4 mins Seems a nice easy farm for those with the patience Anti MAgic shell at her Deep Breath.
Comment by Timmy93 Just solo'd onyxia as a ilvl windwalker monk. Took about 1 min 30s.. Was my second time doing it and the mount dropped :D. Comment by mezili For any elemental shamans trying to solo this, I sham just solo'd Onyxia with the help of this youtube video.
Things to remember: Always keep your healing stream totem up. When pulling, run across the room, and keep your back to the wall she has a pushback. When drakes come, run to the center of the room; put down searing totem, cast chain lighting, and use thunder between earthquakes.
Use an earth or fire elemental during phase 3, because her roar fears. Watch not to step on cracks. Comment by Soreleyn Quite easy as a discipline priest ilvl. Used Power Infusion Right at the start, and once more when it was off cooldown. In phase two, when she's up in the air I applied a Shadow Word: Pain. Killed the big adds and aoe'd the first wave of whelps. When she came down again in phase 3 I just nuked her, while shielding myself trying not to get too much damage from the second wave of whelps.
It took me only 3 minutes and 44 seconds to solo this on 10 player difficulty. Comment by Raisear Just solo'd the man as a Frost DK at lvl 90, and did so in less then 5 minutes. I was in the T14 LFR set. Here's what I did: At the start of the fight, I brought up Army of the dead. When she entered phase 2, I stayed underneath her.
Spam Howling Blast. Most of my ghouls were still up, so they handled the adds. I used Death pack once, right before she dropped.
Once she was back on the ground, it was pretty much just pillage and destroy. I had frost presence up for the entire fight. Never used Icebound Fortitude. Was actually shocked I managed to get it in one run. Hopefully this helps someone else. When Ony takes off, this is where things get fun. Keep an eye on your health though because every now and then I would be hit with something that would take me kind of low.
At one point I had to use Lay on Hands, but still wasn't anything I couldn't handle. I used gylph of shiv, recuperate and evasion. I used leeching poison as a talent in order to shiv and regain 15 k hp per 4 sec. I also used Shuriken Toss to dps him when he flies. Here is what I did; -Started with huge burst popped every cooldown such as shadowblades and my pvp trinkets. Used evansion also. I also shiv'ed every mob I saw to make my hp full.
So he had 2 dots on him. Was very close but I could do better health managemant imo. Thumbs up so others can see! Comment by Soloed 10 man with lvl 90 BM hunter and Arcturis as tenacity. Started out using Chromaggus as ferocity and died twice from those blasted whelps. These gave me a few pets dps'ing at once. While she was in the air i kept an eye put for those whelps and the dragonkin. I dpsed the whelps while my pet was on Onyxia, after the dragonkin came in I feigned death. When the whole mob was on my pet I concentrated on the dragonkin.
I did this for each wave; feign death, pick off dragonkin,multishot and glaive toss whelps surrounding my pet. I was taking pot shots at Onyxia as well. It took awhile compared to what others posted. My gear is not the greatest.
From time to time i would aggro the whole mass of whelps; then i feigned death or used Lynx Rush and my pets stomp to get them off me and on my pet. After she landed again it went smoother, there were some touch and go moments there though.
I found myself spamming Mend pet and using Exhileration. Keeping Arcturis alive was a significant part of this fight for me, and the rest was chipping away at Onyxia's hp. Hope this helps! Comment by Shaffer86 Does anyone know if a lvl 87 demo warlock could solo this with a ilvl? Comment by Just solo'd her 25m ilvl demo warlock, its long but quite simple.
The usual, avoid fire, avoid front and back of her Start out with wrathguard for dps use terrorguard at start save wrathstorm, meta, immo aura drain life, and damage CD for adds, this will keep your health topped up because of the length you will need to lifetap and heal demon be sure to hit it every time its up when airborn, stack the adds under onyxia, this ensures your immo aura wrathstorm and drain life are hitting her as well use HS when you lifetap for the first time while adds are down, be sure to hit it every time it is off CD from here out blow your dps CD in unison every time eventually wrathguard will die even with heal demon, switch to voidlord since she's hitting a lot harder at this point, once void is down, you should have another terrorguard up, pop dps CD again and go meta for final burn.
Comment by Pyratewench Easily soloed as 85 boomkin in the lovely ilvl mop gear. Wasn't sure what to expect so took just over 5 minutes, next time I'll go for the More Dots achieve for under 5 mins. Should be piece of cake for 90s. Comment by SpectraKitty i can't solo that dude on my lv 90 beast master night elf hunter. He keeps beating the pants off of me. Comment by Vaystre This is very do-able as a Rogue at level Use Leeching Posion to help heal a little bit.
Pop your cooldowns Trinkets, Shadow Blades and Vendetta at the beginning of the fight. Make sure you've got Rupture and your Deadly Poison on her as she takes off into the air, she'll come down just as your finishing off the drakelings. You should be able to finish her off when she lands. Did this with ish Ilevel but I'm pretty sure it can be done a lot lower!
Happy Hunting! Gives you a great idea of whats it's like to ride it. Comment by ladyhawk5 One man-able by a 90 1H fury warrior - ilvl Bloodthirst and Impending Victory are great for the heal Phase 2 didn't take long with Dragon Roar, with Heroic Throw. If nothing else i used thunder clap to get some more damage in there, not much but made her come down a little faster. No mount sadly. Comment by fantisera Very very easily doable solo as a disc priest in gear.
Easy peasy! Comment by Razordash For warriors who agonize at the idea of fighting her when she's airborne, do not fear! I did this as a fury warrior, so a good gear is recommended.
Warriors can solo Onyxia even in 25 man mode. Requirements Second Wind as a fury or arms warrior is a must have, if you want to survive, this is also likely true for protection warriors. As explained earlier, if you're not raider geared, this fight can prove very difficult as an arms for fury warrior. If Onyxia is killing you faster than you can heal with second wind, then try protection warrior specialization.
The fight will certainly be agonizingly slow, but at least it's still possible. While a shield isn't required It's a wonderful thing to have in order to use shield wall, and by the time patch 5. As a protection warrior a shield is a must of course, but it's mostly optional as a fury or arms warrior.
Bladestorm is a powerful aoe tool and is one of our key burst that allows us to quickly dps adds and onyxia at the same time. It's also a key burst for the second phase of the battle. Remember, this is all assuming your warrior is at level Phase 1 Phase one couldn't be more simple. You're not on a time limit, but if you want the achievement More Dots! Same is true for 25 player mode. There are a nest of eggs on each side of the room, Onyxia will occasionly use Wing Buffet to send you flying backwards a few feet.
So be sure to position yourself at a location where she doesn't knock you into one of her nest. If for some reason your second wind isn't generating enough health for you to survive, jump into Vanguard to help lower the damage and hopefully buy you enough time for second wind to catch up.
If that isn't enough then apply Shield wall or Die by the Sword to help further lower Onyxia's damage output Die by the sword isn't available to protection warriors. Phase 2 This is without a doubt a warrior's most dreaded part of the fight. A bunch of little whelpings and the occasional big dragonkin will swarm you from all directions. You can't attack onyxia directly with your melee attacks, BUT you can still hit her with area of effect attacks!
Keep tracking her on your radar thanks to your set focus you can just stand under tracker without actually looking for onyxia in the air. And use all your aoe to your advantage.
Bladestorm, Whirlwind , and Thunderclap while you stand under onxyia and you will be sure to hit her as well as any other enemy in the area. Her Fire Breath is nothing to get excited or worried about, but if you want She Deep Breaths More 10 player , you will avoid it.
If there are still adds around, work them out quickly or the damage can potentially get out of hand. Onyxia will no longer knock you around, but now she will use Bellowing Roar to fear you for 3 seconds so save your Berserker Rage for that moment to break and make yourself immune to fear. Stay near the center of the battle ground to avoid running into either nest. Otherwise engage as you normally would against her as you did in phase 1 and she will go down very quickly.
The instance was released in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. The raid contains 1 bosses. The end boss of Onyxia's Lair is Onyxia.
Oynxia's Lair is one boss raid that was re-energised for Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Onyxia is the daughter of Deathwing, the antagonist in Cataclysm. Although Onyxia is brought back for Blackwing Descent raid, her location is not the lair as it was before. Although it is no longer the highest level raid, there are still achievements to be had and also there is a mount that drops.
