Strategy
- Statue puzzle. Six green statues stand in the central chamber. Activate them in the exact order shown on the plaque at the room's entrance. The correct sequence summons Atal'alarion into the central pit.
- Grasping Vine. The boss pulls a random player toward him. Don't panic — just run back to your spot, the damage is minor.
- Heavy hits. Atal'alarion hits the tank hard. Keep steady heals on the tank; he has a large health pool, so expect a longer fight.
- Positioning. The tank holds the golem in the pit, melee flank him, ranged and healer stay at the pit's edge to avoid extra patrols.

Why this boss matters
Atal'alarion does not block the road to the finale, but he drops solid level-52 gear and completes the related achievement. The statue puzzle is the Sunken Temple's signature, and it is often the reason players run the dungeon for the first time.
