Location
This 12-man raid instance is accessed by entering "Isengard: The Tower of Orthanc" from Instance Join. You must have traveled to the Ox-Clan Camp in Isengard prior to entering the raid. As you enter the raid from Instance Join, run straight ahead and up the stairs into the shadow wing.
Walkthrough
Shadow Wing follows the same mechanics as the other wings: Crowd Control is very important. At the first mob encounter, use CC on the pacing guards, DPS the orc healer towards the back. Off tank holds others while orc healer, then one, then the other of the CC targets get burned down. Note: if you turn you back to the orcs, they inflict massive bleed damage whether you have aggro or not. Light armored members will die very quickly. Always face the mobs. Repeat his for the second mob before the final boss.
Boss Fight
Bukot is the fourth boss of the Tower of Orthanc raid in Nan Curunír.
Tank Bukot out in the open near where he starts and turn him away from the group. DPS and healers move into position on the throne facing the boss as soon as possible and never move during the entire encounter. There are two AoEs during the fight: Purple haze slows inductions and does minimal damage. You can move out of it, although healers and DPS should rarely move. Black cloud does massive damage if you move while in the cloud, therefor do not move. Healers and Ranged should stay 20 meter back, to stay out of the cloud in the open area. Never pull aggro. If the boss moves from tank, only the tank should move and bring him back to the tanking spot. Some tentacles will spawn near the throne, and ranged DPS should kill these as they spawn.
Challenge
In order to complete the Challenge quest, the Throne-room may not be consumed by shadow, which means the purple shadow wall may not fill the room... during the fight the shadow wall will close in. If you fail to defeat Bukot within 10min, the room will be filled with shadow, and the challenge will fail. Also if a fellowship member gets defeated, the challenge will fail.
