Ancient Stone Keeper
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruThe Ancient Stone Keeper is a massive stone golem of lower Uldaman, one of the titan constructs guarding the archive. His damage is moderate, but his colossal armor turns the fight into a marathon if the group can't punch through it.
Tactics
- Reduce armor. A warrior's Sunder Armor, a warlock's Curse of Recklessness, Expose Armor and
similar debuffs multiply your kill speed. Without them the fight drags.
- Lean on magic damage. Physical hits stall on the armor, but spells land almost in full —
mages, warlocks and shadow priests shine here.
- Don't count on CC. As a titan construct he resists many effects; tank him honestly rather
than trying to chain-control him.
- Moderate tank damage. Easy on the healer — just don't fall asleep on the long fight and
watch that other guardians don't drift in.

FAQ
Why is the Stone Keeper so tanky?
Stone guardians have enormous physical armor. Armor-reduction debuffs (Sunder Armor, Curse of Recklessness, Expose Armor) speed the fight up sharply; magic damage lands in full.
Do you have to kill the Stone Keeper?
Some stone guardians in the lower complex can be skipped, but this encounter is common on the way to Archaedas. It is good practice before the guardian waves in the finale.
