C’Thun

C’Thun is basically an Old God or a really insanely powering entity within the Warcraft Universe. The Old Gods were mostly defeated by the Titans, three of them were imprisoned within the very land itself while one was outright defeated. C’Thun was defeated (but not slain) and fell into Silithus, where the Silithid laid. C’Thun, being a cunning entity, created an army in his likeness out of the Silithid and prepared to take his revenge out on Kalimdor.

C’Thun, being an Old God, is pretty much the most powerful entity players will face outside out of Outland. Kel’Thuzad is pretty much the only thing in the game world that is more powerful then C’Thun, although some may argue that C’Thun, Nefarian, and Kel’Thuzad about the same amount of “power” since neither fears one another. Nefarian himself will attempt to destroy the red shard, used for opening the gates into AQ, ignoring the possibility that C’Thun may seek to destroy him and ruin his own plans. That though, is all speculation at this point and we can always just say that each villain thinks that they are the absolute best.

Set-Up!

Getting ready for C’Thun is a difficult challenge since each guild does C’Thun differently. Basically in this guide I’ll give you a list of his own abilities and your guild should attempt to counter each while forging out your own way to defeat him.

Skills and the Encounter

Phase One

During the first phase only C'Thun's eye is visible. Simply defeat the eye to get into the second phase. It's not easy though!

Dark Glare: 50k damage done to anyone who is hit by this laser beam. He spins around very slowly, giving the raid the ability to stay ahead of it.

Eye Beam: 2,500 to 3,400 nature damage that works similar to Chain Lightening except that on each jump it doubles the damage done.

Eye Tentacles: Every 45 seconds tentacles will spawn in the darkness around C’Thun which need to be killed by the raid. They cast a super version of Mind Flay.

Claw Tentacles: These tentacles randomly spawn all over C’Thun’s room doing a little bit of melee damage to anyone near them. When they spawn if a player is nearby then they will get knock backed and do about 1,500 damage.

Phase Two

During Phase Two C’Thun himself will appear. The Claw Tentacles are changed to Super Claw Tentacles which do double the damage. His eye will randomly show up on a tentacle, but you can defeat it easily and it can be stunned and silenced. He has a new ability that will spawn a tentacle while will pick you up and eat you.

When you are eaten you will be facing two Flesh Tentacles inside of C’Thun’s belly along with an exit portal on one of the islands in his stomach. As long as you aren’t in melee range, these Flesh Tentacles are no problem. The trick is that when you kill both Flesh Tentacles, C’Thun becomes weakened for about 40 seconds in which case the tentacles inside of his belly must be killed again. The stomach acid adds a DoT on you and if you aren’t near the middle of his stomach then you’ll get knock backed and killed, so while needing to stay in there as long as possible it’s not a good idea to stay in there forever.

Basically the second phase works with people killing tentacles inside of his belly while coordinating killing the claw tentacles at the top. He spawns a giant claw tentacle anytime he becomes vulnerable again so you don’t really want a ton of them up.

Really though, good luck with this fight. As of right now not many guilds are able to take on this monster of an enemy. It’s all about coordination and teamwork. Belive in each other and you may find yourself in the winning position!

After C’Thun is completed you may go back and do any optional bosses you skipped or speak with the weapon crafters located behind his walls.
