Heroic: Madness of Deathwing
Destroy Deathwing in Dragon Soul on Heroic Difficulty.
Heroic: Madness of Deathwing is earned by defeating Deathwing in Dragon Soul on Heroic difficulty, rewarding the title Savior of Azeroth.
Enter Dragon Soul
Enter Dragon Soul and proceed to the Madness of Deathwing encounter. The platform order is Ysera, Alexstrasza, Nozdormu, then Kalecgos (green, red, yellow, blue) — this applies to both 10-player and 25-player runs.
Clear the First Two Platforms
The Ysera and Alexstrasza platforms are straightforward and present little difficulty; push through them to reach the later platforms where the bulk of the challenge lies.
Manage Impales on Nozdormu and Kalecgos
The Nozdormu and Kalecgos platforms, particularly the blue platform, account for the vast majority of wipes. Each Impale deals over one million base damage, so rotate tank cooldowns to survive them, and kill the Mutated Corruption before it casts a third Impale.
Avoid Shadowstep as a Rogue
If playing a Subtlety rogue, do not use Shadowstep during this encounter — doing so will result in instant death.
Defeat Deathwing in Phase 2
Phase 2 is the other primary source of wipes; survive it and destroy Deathwing to complete the achievement and earn the title Savior of Azeroth.
