== Objectives ==
'''Krik'thir the Gatewatcher''' is the first [[boss]] of [[Azjol-Nerub]]. He is a [[nerubian vizier]] under the command of [[Anub'Arak]] — a powerful servant of the [[Lich King]]. His main objective is to guard the gate that leads further into the ancient city.
 
  +
Gather 4 Stormwind Spears, 4 Stormwind Breastplates, 4 Stormwind Shields and 4 Stormwind Helms.

The equipment may also be collected from {{NPC||Gilblin Scavenger}}s.
== Abilities ==
 
  +
*[[Stormwind Breastplate]] x4
*'''Mind Flay'''.

*[[Stormwind Helm]] x4
*'''Curse of Fatigue'''-Kirk'thir will cast Curse of Fatigue on 2-3 targets periodically.

*[[Stormwind Spear]] x4
*'''Bugs'''-Summon waves of small AoEable mobs.

*[[Stormwind Shield]] x4
*'''Enrage'''-Enrages at 10% health.
 
   
== The Event ==
+
== Description ==
  +
As we struggled to not drown, my men and I were forced to abandon our weapons and much of our armor.
The boss is guarded by three groups of three spiders. The pulls are successive, meaning that once you pull the first group an event has started. Sometimes you can catch a break between groups to drink if you are able to kill them fast enough. There is no break before the boss is pulled.
 
   
  +
{{NPC||Erunak Stonespeaker||Erunak}} says to expect a major attack from the naga soon and I'm inclined to believe him.
Each pull consists of a miniboss and two adds. In addition to the constant risk of Anub'ar Skirmishers and Web Wrap, each miniboss has a special ability: from left to right these are:
 
   
  +
If we're going to stand a chance, we'll need your help to recover our lost armaments. They should be lying on the sea floor near our shipwrecks.
Left: A poison spit that hits targets in a cone; it is ideal for the tank to face this boss away from the party, but given the chaos of the fight this is not always possible. The group can eat the damage.
 
   
  +
Hurry, <race>, we're defenseless here.
Middle: A blast of webs that hits targets in a cone and disorients everyone for about three seconds. Beware of drops in healing and aggro.
 
   
  +
== Rewards ==
Right: Attacks rapidly as through dual wielding with a Frenzy-style effect. Be prepared for massive incoming damage.
 
  +
{{itembox|You will be able to choose one of these rewards:|Leftover Leggings|Scavenged Stormwind Spaulders|Captain Taylor's Chopper}}
  +
You will also receive: {{cost|7|80}}
   
  +
== Progress ==
Some groups have an Anub'ar Skirmisher, which will drop aggro during the fight and focus on a random party member, becoming immune to taunt and CC, so they should be killed first. Throughout these pulls a random party member will become encased in webbing which needs to be attacked in order to free them. It's helpful to have one party member keeping a lookout for this. A good way to handle this encounter is to start with the furthest left group and pull them back into the hall a bit, giving the mana-users time to drink when the second group aggroes.
 
  +
Have you recovered our gear, <race>?
   
==Heroic==
+
== Completion ==
  +
Well done, <class>!
The event is similar to the regular run. The groups pull successively after the first group. The large mobs, Watcher Silthik, Watcher Gashra, and Watcher Narjil are immune to [[shackle]], however the smaller spiders can be crowd controlled.
 
   
  +
Thanks to you, my men will be ready to confront the enemy when they attack.
Similar to Normal, kill the Anub'ar Skirmishers first. In addition it is important that no one turn their back on this mob, as they can hit with [[backstab]] for over 10k even on players with plate armor.
