📖 Overview

The Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj is a 20-man raid in the outer ruins of the ancient Qiraji empire in Silithus. The gates must have been opened server-wide through the War Effort before either AQ raid can be entered. The Qiraji serve C'Thun, the Old God imprisoned beneath the desert, and their insectoid design makes them visually unique among vanilla raid enemies.

AQ20 is considered slightly harder than ZG despite both being 20-man raids. Nature resistance is required for Princess Huhuran and the Ossirian fight uses a unique pylon-based vulnerability mechanic that must be assigned and practised before the pull.

💀 Boss Roster

01
General Rajaxx
EliteHumanoid
Wave-based fight — seven waves of Qiraji soldiers before Rajaxx appears. Control each wave efficiently. Rajaxx himself has a Thunderclap and periodic enrages.
Seven waves: Kill each wave cleanly before the next arrives. Thunderclap: AoE slow. Enrage: Periodically throughout the fight.
02
Princess Huhuran
EliteBeast
Requires 200+ nature resistance from all raiders. She enrages at 30% HP — Hunter Tranquilizing Shot removes it. Warlocks use Curse of Recklessness.
Nature resistance: 200+ NR required for all raiders. Enrage at 30%: Hunter Tranq Shot. Wyvern Sting: Sleeps a raider.
03
Ossirian the Unscarred
EliteFinal BossElemental
Final boss — invincible unless a Crystal Pylon nearby is active. Kite him between Pylons throughout the fight. Assign pylon-activators and a caller before pulling.
Crystal Pylons: Activate pylons to make Ossirian vulnerable. He is immune between pylons. Assign pylon team and route before pulling.

💡 Key Mechanics & Tips

🐜

Ossirian Pylon rotation: Assign 3–4 players to activate Pylons in a predetermined clockwise sequence. The tank kites Ossirian to each active Pylon. Burn him during vulnerability windows. Never improvise the pylon order mid-fight.

⚠️

Nature resistance: Huhuran requires 200+ NR from every raider. This is not optional — without it her nature damage kills players faster than healers can respond. Farm NR gear and enchants before your first AQ20 clear.

💡

Buru eggs: Buru the Gorger is immune to direct damage. He must be led over eggs scattered around his room — the explosions damage him. Assign one raider to activate eggs while others herd Buru toward them.
