Jastor Gallywix has hidden inside the Gallagio and called in every favor ever owed. The Chrome King refuses to give up his control over Undermine, but that won’t stop the goblin revolution. Adventurers must take up their weapons and prepare their spells before clearing the streets of Undermine. After cleaning the streets, it’s time to siege the Gallagio and take the fight to Gallywix himself.
This guide will help players gain a basic understanding of every fight present in Liberation of Undermine, the latest raid in World of Warcraft. For a sneak peek at the loot tables for each boss, Wowhead has compiled a list of all available loot options and what players might want to look out for.

Vexie and the Geargrinders
Answering Gallywix’s call for aid, Vexie arms herself in a war tank and calls her biker gang to defend Undermine and their employer’s assets. This favor will repay an old debt and free her and her gang from Gallywix.
Phase One
- Vexie starts the fight with Protective Plating, four on Normal and six on Heroic.
- Break all stacks to enter phase two.
- The raid will wipe if stacks are not removed before Vexie reaches 100 energy.
- Vexie will Call Bikers to the arena. These bikers charge toward players through their designated charging line.
- Players must defeat the bikers when they get near the boss.
- Jump into the bikes and use the only ability to send the bikes toward Vexie to remove one stack of Protective Plating.
Vexie and her gang come to defend Gallywix and pay off their debts.
- Tank mechanic: Tank Buster
- Large tank damage, taunt swap every other cast.
- Heroic difficulty drops an Oil Slick under the boss after each Tank Buster.
- Heroic adds Oil Slick, which randomly targets players with a purple circle and leaves a large pool of oil on the ground.
- Move the large circles to the edge of the room to keep the center clear.
- Players marked with Incendiary Fire should guide these to the oil patches to keep the room clear.
- Don’t aim bikes through the oil, or else they won’t travel down the line properly.
Phase Two
- Phase two begins when Vexie loses all stacks of Protective Plating.
- This begins a 45-second burn phase. Damage the boss as much as possible during this time.
- Vexie will call in Pit Mechanics to cast Repair on Vexie during the burn phase. These must be interrupted and CC’d to avoid casts.
- They will leave after the phase ends, so killing them is optional as long as their casts are controlled.
Final Tips for Vexie and the Geargrinders
- Remove Protective Plating from Vexie by defeating bikers and using their bikes against her.
- Adds join the fight after Vexie uses Call Bikers. They will target random players, so keep an eye on positioning. If on Heroic difficulty, keep these bikers away from Oil Slicks.
- Oil Slicks need to be taken away and behind the boss.
Cauldron of Carnage
This two-boss encounter features Flarendo and Torq the Tempest, destined to end their robotic rivalry tonight in the cauldron for all of Undermine to see. This fight will require the raid to split. These bosses do not share HP and must be killed simultaneously. The tanks must also keep the bosses away from each other, or they will become immune.
The large gate that leads into the Cauldron of Carnage.
Flarendo
- Flarendo is the large dinosaur mechanical boss on the left side of the arena.
- Flarendo will need to be rotated around its side of the room to keep it as clear as possible.
- Scrapbomb is a circle that needs to be soaked by the group.
- During the soak, Blastburn Roarcannon will target one player. This player needs to move away from the bomb to avoid hitting other people. Once the laser’s position has been locked, players can move back.
- Tank Mechanic: Eruption Stomp deals magic damage to the tank and launches them into the air. Lava waves will also spawn from the tanks position.
- On Heroic, avoid overlapping the circles from Molten Phlegm.
Torq the Tempest
- Torq the Tempest is the giant electrifying gorilla on the opposite side.
- Players generate Static Charge while moving.
- The bar slowly increases with movement and decreases when standing still. If the bar fills, players will be stunned.
- On Heroic, the stun will hit all players within 10 yards.
- All players will be marked with Thunderdrum Salvo, which fires bolts of lightning for seven seconds.
- Players generate Static Charge while moving.
Flarendo and Torq will end their rivalry today, but who will come out on top?
-
-
- Keep movement to a minimum, and don’t panic. Stutter step to avoid being hit by circles and moving into someone else’s.
- Tank Mechanic: Lightning Bash deals large physical damage to the tank and deals excess unmitigated damage to the raid.
- Heroic Torq summons Volatic Images that fixate on players.
- Coming into contact with any player causes it to explode, leaving a silencing puddle on the ground.
-
Phase Two
- Phase two begins when both bosses cast Colossal Clash and collide in the center of the arena.
- This phase has large passive damage going out. Avoid swirlies on the ground and dodge incoming lava waves. After this phase ends, players will swap sides to attack the other boss.
Final Tips for Cauldron of Carnage:
- Keep bosses split at all times and keep their HP as close together as possible.
- Flarendo team needs to stay on top of bomb soaks and keep the laser beam away from the group. Be aware that this beam can spread to the other side of the arena and hit the Torq team.
- Torq team needs to keep their movement to a minimum. During Heroic, players need to help teammates control the Volatic Images to keep this side as clean as possible.
Rik Reverb
Rik Reverb, Gallywix’s partying promoter, loves the sound of his voice. He captivates Undermine citizens with his compelling goblin beats. He rides around the room in his flying sonic resonator, breaking his opponents’ ears with his sonic sounds.
Phase One
- Amplifier calls down amplifiers at the boss and a player’s location.
- Amplifiers gain energy over time. Their gain is increased if Reverb is too close.
- Players can drain energy from the amplifiers by clicking and channeling on them. Walk away to stop channeling.
- Heroic will give players draining amplifiers a stacking damage over time effect.
- Resonant Echoes
- This causes all amplifiers to emit Resonant Echoes, which are moving damaging circles.
- On Heroic difficulty, being hit by too many Echoes will cause Entranced. Entranced players must be attacked before they make it to the boss.
- Faulty Zap
- Places a circle on players that pulses damage.
- Increases nature damage taken while affected.
Rik Reverb floats in his sound-blasting mechanical creation.
- Tank Mechanic: Sonic Blast

- Reverb’s melee swings are frontal cones that deal sonic damage.
- Heroic: Sparkblast Ignition
- Five barrels drop into the arena. These must be killed before they explode.
- Players receive a haste and movement speed boost while attacking the barrels.
Phase Two
- Phase two starts with Blaring Drop and adds a 99% damage reduction shield to Reverb.
- The boss will emit deadly waves that travel outward from his position.
- Players will need to stand in the amplifier with a blue circle to get knocked over the ring’s path. This repeats, so stay on the move.
Final Tips for Rik Reverb
- Amplifier locations are predictable if ranged and melee stay stacked in separate groups. The boss will drop an amplifier, and the second one will drop on the ranged group.
- Keeping amplifiers close together will simplify draining them and running to safe ones during phase two.
- Two amplifiers will remain after phase two finishes, meaning there will be more pylons to keep drained as the fight continues.
Stix Bunkjunker
Stix Bunkjunker is the leader of Undermine’s cleanup crew. Without him and his crew, the city would be buried under its own filth. In typical goblin fashion, they don’t clean the streets in a typical way. Stix and his crew prefer to get creative with disposing of the city’s trash.
Phase One
- Electromagnetic Sorting causes small and large green garbage piles to spawn around the room.

- Tank mechanic: Demolish deals a large amount of magic damage to the active tank.
- This leaves a damage taken increase debuff on the tank.
- Heroic difficulty adds Territorial Bombshell. Three Bombshells attach to large garbage piles and explode after thirty seconds for raid damage.
- Focus the adds to 75% health so they drop from the garbage piles.
- Players on Rolling Rubbish need to avoid hitting Bombshells to prevent early detonation.
Phase Two
- After the first two garbage cycles, Bunkjunker goes into Overdrive, causing him to fly up before plummeting into the ground.
- The boss takes 99% reduced damage.
- Avoid swirlies and the large circle before the boss slams down.
- The rest of the encounter is upgraded.
- There is one additional Discarded Doomsplosive and two more Territorial Bombshells.

Final Tips for Stix Bunkjunker
- Incinerator casts fast and will quickly ignite nearby garbage piles. Preposition before Incinerator goes out.
- Hyenas join the arena in packs and are great targets for increasing your size during Rolling Rubbish.
- After Demolish is cast, the other tank needs to wait until Rolling Rubbish is cast before taunting.
Sprocketmonger Lockenstock
Sprocketmonger Lockenstock is one of Gallywix’s smartest employees. His list of inventions is nearly endless, and he is always eager for new avenues to test his inventions. Lucky for him, there is currently an assault on his boss’s home, and he’s got new toys to try.
Phase One
- Wire Transfer covers two of the four segments in this arena with lightning.
- The dangerous zones change throughout the fight on a fixed pattern.
A graphic from Wowhead to help learn the patterns of the arena.
- Screw Up marks random players who will drop screws at their location for three seconds.
- Stay on the move and try to leave the circles at the edges of the arena.
- Tank mechanic: Pyro Party Pack and Gravi-Gunk

- Players must step on these mines in a staggered order. The mines deal raid damage and stack up if detonated too quickly.
- You cannot step on more than one mine per phase.

Phase Two
- Beta Launch
- This mechanic knocks all players back and electrifies the four platforms. Only the conveyor belts are safe.
- Get to the boss quickly. There is constant raid damage and healing absorbs.
- The boss gains a permanent damage buff after leaving phase two.
- This mechanic knocks all players back and electrifies the four platforms. Only the conveyor belts are safe.
Final Tips for Sprocketmonger Lockenstock
- Tanks with Pyro Party Pack need to use a defensive before detonation to prevent massive damage.
- Ranged players should stack together in the corner of a safe platform with their back toward the moving conveyer belts before Screw Up is cast. After its cast, players affected should take a step back. This lets them ride the conveyor belts, safely drop the mechanic behind them, and maintain their damage.
- Before Wire Transfer is cast, pay attention to where the blue lines are going. Those are the unsafe platforms.
One-Armed Bandit
Phase One
- Spin to Win! summons three Reel Assistants with symbols over their heads.
- Symbols are dropped when an assistant dies.
- A unique combo of two symbols must be deposited into the boss, or it will be a wipe.

- Players must pick up and send the coin to a wall to destroy it.

An example of where the tanks should place the electric circles. You can clear them, but it makes the fight harder.
- Tank mechanic: The Big Hit leaves a shocking field at the tank’s location.
- Tank needs to run to the edge of the room to place these circles down.

Mug’Zee
Mug’Zee is a two-headed ogre. An enforcer hired by Gallywix to oversee the Undermine casino’s daily activities. Recently, with the siege on Gallagio, Mug’Zee’s new responsibilities are to keep everyone out of the innermost chambers.
- Head Honcho dictates which head of Mug’Zee is active based on which side of the arena the raid is standing on.

Final Tips for Mug’Zee
- Save bloodlust for 30% health to prevent the hard enrage wiping the raid.
- Most groups prefer to start on the red side, but starting on the blue side is fine.
Chrome King Gallywix
Jastor Gallywix, the Big G, Merchant Prince, former Trade Prince, and currently the Chrome King of Undermine, waits inside his mech for players to enter his room. Fitting his selfish nature, the mech resembles his appearance. On the bright side, it will be nice to destroy a mech that has his annoying face.
Phase One
- The raid should be split in half for this phase.
- Scatterblast Canisters is a frontal cone at the active tank that does split damage.

-
- Tank mechanic: Ego Check is a four-hit combo.
- Use a defensive for the large hits and stay alive during the damage over time effect.
- Swap after each cast.
- Tank mechanic: Ego Check is a four-hit combo.
Final Tips for Chrome King Gallywix
- Each Giga Coil has two sets of controls. When the second control is broken, a fourth of the arena will be electrified and unsafe to stand in. Plan ahead for this.
- It’s possible to skip most of phase two if the raid can deal enough damage.
- Having more than two people soak Canisters is perfectly fine, as it will reduce the heal absorb, but the damage taken will be higher.
That is every fight in Liberation of Undermine. We hope you enjoyed this detailed guide and found it to be helpful for your time in this new raid. The theme of this raid is completely different from what we saw in the first season. It’s colorful, fun, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s a breath of fresh air after feeling cooped up in the dreary Nerubian palace. Have fun raiding!
