You will soon be able to dive into WoW Midnight Patch 12.1.5 and experience the wealth of new content and mechanical improvements it brings.
If you are a veteran player belonging to an established team or guild, you and your teammates might be planning to tackle the new raid, The Unbinding of Kith'ix, right away.
You may be confident in your team's ability to clear it quickly, but there is certainly no harm in mastering key strategies and information before stepping inside! Read the guide below so you don't miss out.

How to enter the raid?
The Unbinding of Kith'ix raid opens immediately upon the launch of WoW Midnight Patch 12.1.5, with all difficulty levels, including Mythic Flex, available from day one. Of course, it is best to tackle the challenges in order of increasing difficulty.
To enter the raid, every member of your team must be Level 90. To find the entrance, travel to Vaults of Atal'Utek and locate the sub-zone known as The Underbelly at the northernmost point; the entrance is situated in the northeast corner of this area.
Note that you may encounter random skirmishes while making your way to the entrance. To conserve your strength for the raid itself, be sure to stock up on consumables and bypass avoidable combat whenever possible.
The Unbinding of Kith'ix Raid boss encounter
While The Unbinding of Kith'ix is a dangerous raid, its layout is straightforward, and the action centers entirely on the single boss: Kith'ix. Consequently, conquering the raid hinges on mastering the mechanics of this boss fight.
Kith'ix encounter consists of two phases, separated by a special intermission period. Additionally, the Elf Lady Liadrin will serve as an ally, providing ongoing assistance throughout the fight.
Phase 1
The core mechanic of Phase 1 involves Kith'ix summoning three adds right at the start while simultaneously charging up power. Your team should aim to defeat all the adds before the boss's charge meter hits 100% (triggering the intermission); failing to do so will make the fight significantly more difficult.
Once Kith'ix finishes channeling, any surviving adds gain a 100% bonus to attack and movement speed and deal pulsing damage to your raid.
The three types of adds are Venomous Hulk, Voidweaver, and Bomber Beetle. The first two work together to deal cleave damage; Venomous Hulk also generates a frontal cone knockback effect.
Voidweaver applies a stacking debuff to the raid, while Bomber Beetle locks onto a player and explodes 30 seconds after contact. The number of beetles scales with the size of the raid.
While fighting the adds, use tank threat or other mechanics to keep them sufficiently far away from Kith'ix, as proximity to the boss reduces the damage they take.
After an add is killed, it leaves behind an egg; you must destroy these eggs before they hatch, or they will spawn Mindstingers, tougher elite enemies.
Additionally, note that Exhausted effect persists throughout Phase 1, causing Lady Liadrin's support capabilities to gradually diminish. Do not rely on her too heavily.

Intermission
No new adds spawn during this phase; Kith'ix repeats abilities used in Phase 1, such as Voidswarm or Twisted Appendage, and existing mechanics remain active.
In Phase 2, Lady Liadrin begins channeling, providing protective shields and orbs of light to safeguard you and your teammates. Once her channel completes, the boss is stunned for 8 seconds, offering a window to focus your damage.
It is important to note that if your team performs a tank swap during Phase 1 or the intermission, a pool of energy orbs forms at that location.
This pool generates moving energy orbs that apply a debuff called Voidscar. Contact with a player applies a stacking, small-radius damage-over-time effect; contact with Lady Liadrin amplifies the effect. Therefore, you must intercept these orbs promptly.
Phase 2
Phase 2 begins when Kith'ix's health drops to 25%; at this moment, he stuns all players on the battlefield.
One of the trickiest mechanics in this phase is Eightfold Eclipse. If the Eclipse effect stacks up to eight times, it results in an immediate wipe, so speed is essential.
You must dodge Null Gate or Nullshards promptly to avoid taking massive Shadow damage. Nullshards is particularly dangerous; the shards it creates apply a stacking debuff that causes instant death upon reaching six stacks.
