Attempting to burn through as much as her health as possible before she is able to take flight.
Phase 2 is the most dangerous phase so dps classes will want to save their damage increasing cooldowns for the moment she hits 65% health. She will then start to slowly walk towards the center of the room before taking flight. Phase 2 starts when Onyxia reaches 65% health. Continue to safely DPS Onyxia to 65% hp, when she then moves to Phase 2. If dps starts before Onyxia is in position they risk over-aggroing and wiping the raid. The map on the right indicates the proper positioning of Onyxia (Green=tank, Red=Onyxia, Blue=Raid). After Onyxia is in this position, the DPS may start lightly attacking the boss. Once Onyxia has been turned around the tank will need to position themselves all the way against the back wall so that the knock back from Wing Buffet will not send the tank flying across the room. The tank will want to engage Onyxia and slowly turn her tail towards the entry, allowing the raid to stay on the sides of Onyxia. If any player is knocked into the nest of eggs then a swarm of Onyxian Whelp will spawn. If a player is too close to her tail, they will be hit by Tail Sweep, potentially being knocked into the nest of eggs. This means that being behind her and in front of her are both dangerous, so stick to her side. The Onyxia encounter is broken up into 3 phases. To minimize the amount of damage this deals tanks will often times pull a Onyxian Warder and have the melee DPS wait for one fire nova to go off before going in. These trash mobs have one deadly ability to watch out for, Fire Nova.
On the way to Onyxia, players will run into several Onyxian Warder patrols spread along the path leading to her lair. If you have not yet acquired Drakefire Amulet, please refer to our Onyxia Attunement GuideĮntrance to Onyxia's Lair in Dustwallow Marsh The Drakefire Amulet must be in your bags, not bank, in order for you to gain access to her lair. Players must have Drakefire Amulet with them to enter the raid. Onyxia's Lair is a 40 player raid located in southern Dustwallow Marsh and is the shortest raid in Classic WoW, only consisting of one boss, Onyxia herself.
