Viscous Fallout — Gnomeregan Boss
◆Viscous Fallout — Radioactive Ooze
Viscous Fallout is a giant ooze spawned by Gnomeregan's radiation leak. It lurks off the main path in the Toxic Airfield area. The boss is optional but part of the local questline.
Tactics
- The boss deals constant radiation AoE to everyone nearby. Keep only the tank and melee
in close; casters stay at range.
- It leaves toxic pools — don't stand in them, drag the boss to clean ground.
- Healer keeps group heals up and cleanses poison: Purify (Paladin), Abolish Poison (Druid),
Cure Poison (Shaman).
It's easy to pick up extra Irradiated stacks here — don't rush through the green slime on the way to the boss without pauses.
Loot
| Item | Slot | Class |
|---|---|---|
| Green items lvl 26–29 | various | by slot |
| Materials/consumables | — | all |
Killed for the quest and XP; drops no named loot.
WoW Classic x5 Tips
- If you're not on the quest, Viscous Fallout can be skipped to save time.
- Keep poisons cleansed — on x5 the radiation total hits the healer noticeably.
- Casters stay out of the AoE radius so DPS doesn't sag from the constant tick.
