'''Nefarian''' is the last boss of [[Blackwing Descent]], a raid shipped with ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]]''. He can be found in the [[Vault of the Shadowflame]], where he resurrects his sister [[Onyxia (Blackwing Descent)|Onyxia]], who makes up the first phase of the fight. Throughout the fight, Nefarian has several other undead adds as well.
 
   
  +
==Objectives==
Nefarian was the last boss of the entry tier of ''Cataclysm'' to be killed on normal mode, in part due to a respawn bug. The world first kill came on 13 December 2010, almost a week after the expansion's release. It was completed in 10-person mode by the Russian guild Exorsus.
 
  +
[[The Rokk]] in [[Lower City]] has asked you to cook up some Spiritual Soup using his cooking pot. Return to him when it's done.

* [[Spiritual Soup]]

==Abilities==

==Description==
  +
Death is in the air. I've never had so many orders for my famous soup—it lifts your spirits and soothes the soul.
   
  +
And I know a fellow cook when I see one! Would you like to help me out and get a cut of the profits?
Throughout the entire encounter every 10% of Nefarian's health will cause Nefarian's lightning machine to strike the raid with Electrocute.
 
   
  +
Here, take my cooking pot, gather some {{item|Clefthoof Meat|clefthoof meat}} and I'll let you in on a little secret. What makes my soup so good for the soul? It's not chicken—I cook it at the [[Ancestral Grounds]] in [[Nagrand]] to soak up all that spiritual stuff there.

  +
Either quest reward contains random raw food (fish or meat) and might also include one of the following recipes:
==Overview==
 
  +
{{:Daily_quest/BC_cooking_recipe_drops}}
The encounter begins with an introductory event in which Nefarian (as Lord Victor Nefarius) resurrects [[Onyxia (Blackwing Descent)|Onyxia]]. He then turns into his dragon form and flies into the air, landing 30 seconds into the fight. Although he is present, in Phase 1 his Lightning Machine will electrocute the raid if they DPS him, while Onyxia's lightning charge ability will build up to dangerous levels if she is not attacked. The two dragons should be separated, because they gain a 100% haste buff when within 60 yards of one another. Phase one ends when Onyxia dies.
 
   
  +
The comments on cooked soup say: "It's not made of chicken, but it's definitely good for the soul." referring to the series short story books called "Chicken soup for the soul."
In Phase 2, Nefarian will lift off again and fill the area with lava. There will be three (25-man) raised pillars amid the sea of lava, each with a [[Chromatic Prototype]] on it. The raid should split into groups and head to their respective pillars to deal with the mobs. This phase ends when either the Chromatic Prototypes are slain or three minutes have passed; an achievement, {{achievement|Keeping it in the Family}}, rewards players for getting Nefarian below 50% before the end of phase two and subsequently defeating him. There are no [[Animated Bone Warrior]]s during this phase.
 
   
When the Chromatic Prototypes are slain or three minutes are up, the lava subsides and Nefarian lands once more, beginning his final phase. [[Animated Bone Warrior]]s can be raised by Shadowflame effects and should be kited. The fight becomes a DPS race at this point.
 
   
==Strategy==
 
===Phase 1===
 
DPS Onyxia down while tanking Nefarian once he lands. You must also deal with the bone warriors.
 
 
===Phase 2===
 
[[File:Nefarian phase 2 lava platform.jpg|thumb|250px|Stay out of the lava.]]
 
 
Split the group evenly between the pillars and DPS the adds down together, interrupting them and leaving one alive while you DPS the boss a bit. It is important to get him as low as possible while not wiping the raid. If the healers are running low on mana, finish off the final add and start Phase 3.
 
 
Nefarian's shadow bolts during this phase do splash damage in a very small radius, so spread out some to minimize the damage.
 
 
===Phase 3===
 
In addition to his Phase 1 abilities, Nefarian has his Shadowblaze Spark (flame ring) ability, which starts off as a patch of fire and grows in an O shape before it despawns. It is not too difficult to deal with at first but because Nefarian casts it more and more quickly it will become unavoidable as the phase goes on. It is therefore important to have him as low as possible prior to the start of this phase, and once it starts, the phase is a DPS race.
 
 
Tank the boss at the outer edge of the room, which will give the raid more warning time and wiggle room to move around and avoid the flame rings. This has the added benefit of more space to deal with the adds.

Notes

To use the Inv misc cauldron arcane [Cooking Pot] you need to be at the Ancestral Grounds[25, 59]VZ-NagrandBlip in Nagrand.

There is a Bonfire at the above location that can be used to cook the soup. A Basic Campfire can be made in the area to cook it if you take Inv tradeskillitem 01 [Simple Wood] and Inv stone 11 [Flint and Tinder].

The Bonfire is toward the western edge of the Ancestral Grounds. There are several smaller fires toward the east, but these cannot be used for cooking. Expect to run into a couple of Agitated Orc Spirits, level 66 Undead.

The Inv misc cauldron arcane [Cooking Pot] requires 4 Inv misc food 60 [Roasted Clefthoof], which in turn requires 4 Inv misc food 80 [Clefthoof Meat], which can be looted off of any clefthoof.
