Atrexis the Grave Knight

City of Dalaran

Dalaran Sewers

Use the sewer gate beside Lordamere Lake and advance from the tavern side toward Atrexis's ritual area. Clear the enemies beside his patrol before engaging him; his Raise Dead summons make an uncleared pull harder to control. Defeat Atrexis before continuing toward the climb into the city.

Atrexis the Grave Knight

Elite Humanoid

Disarm limits the tank's weapon attacks while Thrash, Strike and Unholy Frenzy increase pressure during repeated Raise Dead summons.

Abilities

  • Disarm

    Disarms an enemy, forcing it to stop wielding its weapon for 6 seconds.

    Be ready to control the pull while the tank cannot wield a weapon; remove the nearby enemies before engaging Atrexis.

  • Raise Dead

    Defeat the early summons, then return damage to Atrexis so repeated Raise Dead casts do not prolong the fight indefinitely.

  • Thrash

    Gives the caster 2 extra attacks.

    Prepare tank healing for the extra attacks from Thrash, especially while Unholy Frenzy is active.

  • Strike

    Use tank mitigation if Strike lands during Unholy Frenzy; its immediate weapon hit adds to the faster swings.

  • Unholy Frenzy

    Remove the hostile Magic buff if possible; otherwise use tank defensives while the attack-speed increase is active.

Tank
Pull Atrexis after the enemies around his patrol are cleared. Collect Raise Dead summons and keep a defensive available for Unholy Frenzy and Thrash, including while Disarm disables your weapon.
Healer
Expect abrupt tank damage from Thrash and Strike rather than a steady stream of ordinary swings. Increase tank support during Unholy Frenzy and watch the raised creatures while Disarm limits the tank's attacks.
Damage
Kill the early Raise Dead summons, then concentrate damage on Atrexis to end the repeated summoning. Purge Unholy Frenzy if your class can remove a hostile Magic buff.
