Atramedes the Blind Dragon is a boss of Blackwing Descent raid instance. The world first heroic kill was by Method (25 player) on 27 December 2010, making them the first guild with six bosses, or half the initial Cataclysm raid content minus Sinestra, following Cataclysm's release on 7 December 2010.

Abilities

You will have a 'sound bar' in this encounter. If it hits 100 Atramedes will gain aggro on you! (And kill you, yes even if you are the tank.)


Thwack one of the ancient dwarven shields around the room to cause Vertigo to Atramedes. This resets everyone's sound to zero. He will destroy it when he recovers.

  • Spell frost stun Vertigo — The Resonating Clash has sent the target into a state of Vertigo, increasing damage taken by 50% for 5 sec.


Ground Phase 80 seconds.

  • Inv summerfest firespirit Sonic Breath — Cast at the highest sound player. Does 15,000 damage per second and adds 20 sound per second. Follows the player faster the higher their sound is.
  • Spell fire selfdestruct Searing Flame — The blindly aimed flames inflict 15062 to 15438 Fire damage every 1 sec and increases Fire damage taken by 25% per stack. Applied 8 times over 8 seconds. Interrupt this with Vertigo. This is cast once per ground phase.
  • Ability vehicle sonicshockwave Modulation — The Blind Dragon begins to Modulate, increasing the Sound of all enemies by 7 and inflicting 39000 to 41000 Shadow damage. Damage increased by your sound bar.
  • Spell shadow detectlesserinvisibility Sonar Pulse — Sends discs of sonic energy flying around the room. If touched inflicts 5850 to 6150 Arcane damage and adds seven sound.

Air Phase 40 seconds.

  • Inv summerfest firespirit Roaring Flame Breath — Cast at the highest sound player. Does 15,000 damage per second and adds 20 sound per second. Follows the player faster the higher their sound is. This time it keeps speeding up, and you may want to use a shield to stop it. After the vertigo he will follow the player who hit the shield.
  • Spell shadow detectlesserinvisibility Sonar Pulse — Sends discs of sonic energy flying around the room. If touched inflicts 5850 to 6150 Arcane damage and adds seven sound.
  • Ability vehicle sonicshockwave Sonar Bomb — The Sonar Bomb inflicts 30000 Arcane damage to enemies within 8 yards and allows Atramedes to hear the targets more easily! Adds thirty sound.
  • Spell fire elementaldevastation Sonic Fireball — 29250 to 30750 Fire damage to enemies within 6 yards of the impact.
  • Spell fire flameshock Roaring Flames — Atramedes scatters flame patches across the room. The Reverberating Flames inflict 14625 to 15375 Fire damage and an additional 7800 to 8200 Fire damage every 1 sec for 4 sec. Additionally the Reverberating Flames increase sound by five.

Strategy

This encounter revolves around the Sound Bar mechanic. All of Atramedes' abilities cause their target's sound bar to increase, and when 100% sound is reached Atramedes will gain aggro on the target and hideously mangle and crush them. Atramedes will target the highest sound player with his abilities and follow them faster if their sound is higher.

There are 'gongs' (10man:8, 25man:10) around the room that can be interacted with, using them will reset every raid member's sound to zero and stun Atramedes for 3 seconds. However when they are used Atramedes will become extremely upset with them and burn them to ash, so they can only be used once each.

Intro
Images of Lord Victor Nefarius, Maloriak, and a whelping appear before the group.
Lord Victor Nefarius says: Ah Maloriak. How gracious of you to finally appear from that quarantine you call a laboratory. What have you got this time?
Maloriak says: My sincerest apologies for the disturbance, my liege. But I believe I have something you may be very interested in!
Lord Victor Nefarius says: By all means, enlighten me.
Maloriak says: Yes, yes!
Maloriak says: By extracting agents from the blood of various dragonflights I have created a salve that bestow the wearer sight beyond sight!
Maloriak says: Sense beyond this realm of mortality!
Maloriak says: Atramedes! Your master beckons.
The whelp, Atramedes moves forward.
Maloriak says: I present to you experiment number 25463-D!
Maloriak uses his salve on Atramedes, causing the whelp to glow orange before becoming disoriented.
Lord Victor Nefarius says: It appears as though your experiment has failed. That whelp has gone completely blind! Look at him.
Lord Victor Nefarius says: LOOK AT HIM!
Maloriak says: How could this be!? I will dispose of him immediately!
Lord Victor Nefarius says: No, not yet.
Lord Victor Nefarius says: This object of your chagrin may still prove... valuable... to me.
Lord Victor Nefarius says: Leave now, pathetic alchemist. I anxiously await your next failure.
Maloriak says: Yes, my lord.
The images fade away.
