Boss Guide: Demonic Inquisition (Tomb of Sargeras) | World of Warcraft GamePlay Guides

Background

Anticipating the arrival of mortal forces invading the Tomb of Sargeras, Kil´jaeden has called on his best captors, Atrigan and Belac, to lock down the interlopers and prevent them from using the pillars to advance deeper into the dungeon.

Overview

In this encounter, you will fight 2 bosses, Atrigan and Belac.
Atrigan swings his weapon and does melee dmg, and can be tanked.
Belac is a caster and can´t be tanked.

In this fight, you will get a stacking debuff from boss abilities, called Torment.
Reaching full Torment is not good (it reduces dmg done, healing done and increase dmg taken)
To remove this debuff bar, you must confess.
You will also have an extra action button called Confess.
This will send you down to the prison in which a big add will attack and bombard the area with fireballs.
You need to run over Orbs that spawns so you will be sent back up to the fight again, with 0 Torment.

The main control here is to master when to enter the prison and when how to handle the boss abilities.

The main thing in this fight is not NOT attack Belac when he does Fel Squall and do NOT attack Atrigan when he does Bone Saw since that increases your torment really fast.
