In these videos I'll be doing full playthroughs of each variant of all 13 Delves available in season 1 of The War Within. Most of these will be from the perspective of a solo player, but I will occasionally have some group play as well.

On Brewmaster, put Brann on DPS, use Arrowhead and whichever second relic you prefer. (I liked the one that gave me Massive.) Make sure you’re talented into Touch Of Death on your class tree. Touch of Death the first cocoon. On the second cocoon, do your best to kill it, but don’t panic if you can’t. You can Paralyze the mob for the rest of the fight. Third cocoon Touch is back up for and the boss should be almost dead with Brann DPS’ing. If, for whatever reason, you look like you’re going to get a fourth cocoon. You can either kill the add from the second one you got, or try to burn the new egg. Both will work if you need! You do have the DPS for them if you save Weapons of Order for it and use Keg Smash as soon as you get the 4x on the egg.
Thanks! It's a tough fight for sure, but people are getting him down. I think the tier 2 version got cheesed by some players and Blizz hot fixed it. So that one is gonna be extremely hard.
Just killed tier 1 today as an Unholy DK, ilvl585. No enchants, no gems, no additional pots and food buffs or whatever, no blood curio either, just Brann as a healer. Took me about 15 attempts, between learning the fight without seeing any video guides, a lot of deaths due to bad luck, I killed him also with a bit of luck but hey I'll take it. Just got mad with the bad loot. If anyone goes with a DK don't forget you can also use anti-magic bubble do negate the fear and stun mechanics although it's not always possible.
Btw, you can Spell Reflect or Spell Block the green ability from Kezvir (but not from spider), but something must have changed in the last few days because I do less dmg now with higher ilvl, can't even take half hp from cccoon.
met him yesterday on a tier 10 delve while progressing to 11, was about half hp and i decided to reflect the spitle instead of interrupt. i died. bran was set to dps so he couldnt dispel. also i didnt got that blood curio from him. this week i'll push 11 on all delves so maybe we meet again and reck him each time :>
Just 1 shotted this as a mountain thane prot warrior full pvp gear (i upgraded the pvp gear so it wasnt that bad in pve), I also used the sigil of adaptation trinket that automatically removes cc on a 1 min cd, had brann full dps with the curios light-touched idol and amorphous relic, though I could potentially switch light-touched with brute force or porcelain, I did watch your video before trying the boss to give me an idea what to expect, I screwed up quite a bit lol but manage to get it 1st time but the adaptation trinket is a god-send, if I missed dps on the spider egg it remove the web immediately and brann doing so much damage helped too, I went to try ?? difficulty and it has double the hp and the damage is insane, tried it for like 30 mins and got him down to 83% before the adds got me, he also gets a short cast heal in ?? difficulty, the dps brann has that nice range interrupt so might be something to consider, will be doable with more gear and tier set, cheers on the video. edit: ilvl is 592 for pve / 631 in pvp combat and no enchants or food or flask, I am using double captured starlight, it didnt proc on the ? difficulty but it did on the ?? one, gear was mostly haste/versa. Also, something I noticed at the end since I ended up getting double adds, when I went to interrupt, I cycled through storm bolt (3 with the talent), shockwave and then fear, after the third time I chained cc, they stopped casting the web bolt for a long time, idk if it is a bug or not but I went back to ? difficulty to try it, left an add up and it worked, after cc'ing it for 3 times in a row it stopped casting the web bolt for a good 20 seconds which is more than enough time to kill it, I even let 2 adds spawn and the same thing happened, maybe a bug but idk.
The add will stop casting web for aprox. 20 sec if you LOS it (because bran will get webbed, therefor it goes on CD for the add), or interupt it, if you stun, it will cast it again immidiately.
Did this today as feral on my first try, thought wow that was really easy...went and tried ?? difficulty...he has 195m hp and hits me for 5m a melee swing lol. Tried as bear..3m a swing and survived to the first egg. Will def be doable with some more gear
I can give you a tip . I did it with ferral 3rd try . 596 gear . Just ignore as a cat the cast from the Boss cause with you shapeshift into a bear you can put your debuff away. Thats huge cause you can completly ignore to Kick him . Just Go for the Add . Kick always the add and Dodge Boss Frontals . Done 🎉Pretty eZ and Go with healer brann
I completed T11s and the first difficulty of Zekvir, was pretty easy as a WW but damn Zekvir hardmode, 2 shots Brann and 2 shots you, felt impossible haha
This is the most infuriating challenge I've done in WoW, almost impossible as guardian druid. Dunno if I'm just having bad luck but I'm getting zero bloodstained blessings before the first spider appears, and even at ilvl 598 I can only do 300K DPS max, which is nowhere near enough, and we're too slow to get out of the fear which then leads to stunlock and death. I can easily solo Tier 10 regular delves but our single target DPS is too low for this.
I think some people have commented that doing it as feral is pretty easy. I don't play druid so I'm not sure if there is any way to pull it off as guardian. I've been trying the 2nd tier (??) and it's impossible for me to kill a cocoon in time as prot.
Does that curio still drop? I heard they got ride of Zekvir jumping you randomly in instances. It happened to me a few times, but the only drop I got was a bounty.
I spot change a lot of things for encounters but this is pretty close. CkEAmidFBOBFf5oKuZ7r/WeW7YEDAAAAzMzwMzMmZbmlZmZWwYQzMGzMDwsMwwGzMjZADDAAAAAAwMDAYZZBwwgtlZMLLbjmZGmhlZpxixC
Pretty sure brans damage has been massively nerfed in the last few days. I did a tier 11 the other day basically by kiting every pack and letting bran nuke the living shit out of it. Even a tier 8 today took way more effort because bran wasnt killing packs very fast. I wouldnt sweat on it, most people (if not all) whove done this on ?? difficulty and even cleared over 10 probably did it before the stealth nerf.
@@csvanderkieft just have to do the mechanics without missing anything. Set brann to heals if you need them. I did it before the nerfs at 595 and tier 1 is much easier now. You can definitely do this if you are around 600 ilvl
@@WraithRPG 610 ilvl gear cool, achievements nobody is going to care about and cosmetics that are going to get lost in peoples lists of items. still not worth doing though.
first version of this fight is piss easy as prot warr. just set brann to dps and do mechanics. done. second version/tier of this boss tho... i cant kill the eggs in time ever, and then you get hit by like 5 mill web blasts back to back more or less. but i did and try it as mountain thane, not colossus.
@WraithRPG I tried but I can barely see the orbs and even when I'm looking for them specifically there's none around 😭 I'm playing prot paladin and I need wings to kill the eggs. I'll try again maybe as duo
@WraithRPG yea essentially. Wish I had a weak aura to tell me when he's throwing them or something. Long story short it's a skill issue and I need to get gud. I was off a 100mg edible last night when I was trying so ill try while sober it should help a bit 😂

thanks!
Btw, you can Spell Reflect or Spell Block the green ability from Kezvir (but not from spider), but something must have changed in the last few days because I do less dmg now with higher ilvl, can't even take half hp from cccoon.
i did this yesterday. i don't think its been adjusted since then. nice tip on the reflect!
No you cant, 100% misinformation. you can NOT spell reflect the spittle.
You can not reflect on tier ??, just tried it.
Pretty sure you cant spell reflect the green ability. It was probably just your bran who randomly interrupted.
met him yesterday on a tier 10 delve while progressing to 11, was about half hp and i decided to reflect the spitle instead of interrupt. i died. bran was set to dps so he couldnt dispel. also i didnt got that blood curio from him. this week i'll push 11 on all delves so maybe we meet again and reck him each time :>
Great video! Killed it today in level "?" with my 597 fury warrior. Will try level "??" with 597 tank with a help of your guide.
that's awesome!
Avatar removes the DOT (Enfeebling Spittle). Also you can LOS the adds to avoid getting webbed.

Great video! I can't wait to try it! was Zekvir adjusted at all with the latest patch?
Not that I've seen in any notes. But I'm not 100%. I did this run on 9/13/24
Brann has been nerfed substantially. While zekvir still has ~90 million hp, I swear the cocoons have been buffed. They just won't die.
@@eaberrydc they actually just buffed Brann by 175%. should be easier now. They just fixed some bugs that allowed players to cheese the fight.
thanks for the video, what 's your addon for boosmod on delves ?
just basic DBM
I completed T11s and the first difficulty of Zekvir, was pretty easy as a WW but damn Zekvir hardmode, 2 shots Brann and 2 shots you, felt impossible haha
yeah. I'm gonna have to work on the 2nd tier. there will be a video!
?? is uncompletable by most now unless your a lock. brann now takes full damage prior it was like 10% now its full.
Killed him as MT Prot Warrior, 3 pulls, around 589 ilvl, wasn't too hard. Tier ?.
Will try Colosos for tier ??, that one is really nasty.
Nice Job!
Did this a mountain thane prot warrior at 594 last week. First tier is pretty free providing you dodge and kill the cacoons.
Nice job! I don’t realize it was available until yesterday.
sure u did buddy

@@mastersteve10 I’m planning on doing a UI/Addon video sometime soon! Thanks!
was you kill of him before teh bran nerf or after it ?

he should never be set to healer lol he does 75% reduced dmg as a healer he also doesent CC as much as a healer.

could you share your set and ilvl pls?

the difficulty definitely varies from delve to delve. And if you get an un skippable unique pack it can be very tough.

yeah this shit is not possible, cant kill the cocoons in time and if I rush them he just Cleaves one shots me from range, hardest difficulty btw
Yeah, ?? is ridiculous. I've been working on gearing up before I start seriously trying that version
This fight is impossible even at tier 1 as a protection warrior. Way above the recommended ilvl and get killed each time. Hate this fight.
