Solo Vorago Introductory Guide 
Introduction
This guide is meant to take someone who knows the #vorago-basic mechanics in group, and let them solo. This introductory guide will not explicitly state every minute detail of how things work; and focus on the easier four weeks: Teamsplit, Ceiling Collapse, Scopulus, and Purple Bomb (The End).
The way to get better at Vorago is just to fail over and over, and learn each time. It is okay if it takes a while, nothing worth doing is easy.
General Notes
⬥ When learning a blood reaver 
can be very useful, but you will have to set the auto-fire rate every phase because it bugs out.
• Bring an ice nihil pouch 
to switch to at the end of P4. Accuracy at Vorago is very important, and the nihil will help give you the extra push you need on p5.
⬥ Between every phase all of your 
stacks, 
, and conjures are removed. There is no reason to save them because of this.
⬥ There is an #alt1 plugin called Vorago Tag that helps with target cycle (tc) timing when starting out. Recommended, especially for Teamsplit p5.
⬥ Some common road blocks:
• Soulsplit flicking, and prayer flicking between 
and 
on p2 and p4 for Vorago's attacks. Vorago has a chance every auto-attack while in Melee Distance (MD) to either blue bomb or melee smack or both!
• How to solo clear bleeds.
• Phase 5.
Presets and Relics
⬥ Runes for

switch (don't use 
when learning).
⬥ Tier 2 Malletops perk for extended 
timer is highly recommended.
⬥

⬥ Supreme Invigorate aura 
is required for the phase 5 rotations provided.
⬥ 
only for phase 5. Vorago removes it rapidly in other phases.
Prefight
You take a hit for 70% of your HP 10s after challenging.
⬥ Use 
• Can affect melee hits, and has a small effect on blue bombs.
⬥ 
the tick prior to being hit.
• Takes some learning, but halves the damage taken.
⬥ Do not conjure spirits until after you climb. If they attack Vorago while you climb, he will start to throw blue bombs.
Phase 1
⬥ Once you drop-down into phase 1, activate 
+ and spam click the gap in the wall to start climbing.
⬥ Once at the top, 
and then go into a 
rotation.
⬥ At around 30k damage you can 
+ click to jump at the same time. That way when you hit the ground you can just (tc) and kill hopefully.
• after jumping risks you getting hit by a blue bomb once down.
⬥ Vorago's bombs can still hit you while jumping so before clicking to jump.
• You cannot switch prayers during the jump animation.
Phase 2
Phase 2 solo differs little from duo.
⬥ Use 
but not to lower Vorago's HP during the phase.
Solo bleed clears
Clear bleeds by using 
or by moving far away (7+ tiles) from Vorago with 
or 
⬥ For example → → → →
• or when Vorago's hands touch the ground during bleeds.
• Aim to stand at the corner of Vorago and / perpendicular to him (i.e. if Vorago is facing west you should surge north or south)
Bring Him Down
⬥ Make sure to build to 5 and 12 for Bring Him Down (BHD). Right before you click the second Gravity Orb, use 
.
⬥ While clicking for BHD you can cast 
. At the end of BHD, before you can attack Vorago, use 
.
⬥ At the end you will usually take an unavoidable 2-2.5k hit because of an anti-afk mechanic.
• You can 
it back.
⬥ For the damage portion of BHD, you must do 50k damage. Use 
→ 
→ → 
→ and then filler abilities. You can then use to finish off the phase, but if Vorago is under 30k HP, wait till BHD is over to do so or Vorago resets his HP.
Phase 3
Use 
or or any other defensive as need be. It is better to just make it through p3 slow while learning. Try to get to p5 as many times as possible for practice.
P3 Teamsplit (TS)
⬥ on drop-down.
⬥ After first 
if you immediately you will need to 
because the last hit will occur during reflect.
⬥ during second
Note: In solo you will only end up going to the blue teamsplit.
P3 Scopulus
⬥ Run around the room in a giant circle so you only tank magic bombs and not melee hits from the Scopuli.
⬥ will bounce between the two scopuli, so it is extremely useful to use at the start.
⬥ Once you are at 3 and 8 stacks: (tc) other scopulus + → 
→ 
→ → 
• If you don't switch scopuli you could kill the first one and lose a few ticks.
P3 Ceiling Collapse
⬥ Only before his reflect if you can hit the drop-down (tc).
• If not, wait till after reflect. Do a rotation after Vorago's reflect.
P3 Purple Bomb
In the three quadrants that have bombs in them, you will do less damage until Vorago stands back up. Do as much damage in the first quadrant and after stand as possible.
⬥ and 
the first go-around, click all the red bombs 
and then .
⬥ When Vorago stands up again: + 
or to tank the other bombs + auto-attacks.
⬥ Should be able to kill it during the second go-around if using again.
Phase 4
Deal with whatever weekly spec and bleeds may occur on this phase.
⬥ Use to help maintain high HP.
• Do not use or late into this phase because these will be needed for p5.
• On purple bomb week, it is okay to the last stand only if it is not done with turtling perk.
⬥ Get Vorago low (<30k) before last waterfall. Cast while waiting in last waterfall and insta-kill Vorago with it coming out.
• If done properly he won’t get a single bomb off.
⬩ Once you’ve learned how to do that, you can start using in the waterfall for non-TS p5s.
⬥ Once Vorago is dead, build the maul 
• If you are on make sure to dismiss and switch to now.
Phase 5
This phase has mechanics and requires you to do damage. You can get really good at either one or learn to get decent at both.
Mechanical outline:
1) Each tick you take damage, Vorago pushes you back one tile.
• If or block the damage, you will not get pushed.
2) Each 20k damage you do, you push Vorago back one tile.
• Damage from does NOT contribute to push so it should not be used.
3) Every time Vorago moves a tile, he will stall his next attack slightly.
4) After you have pushed Vorago eight tiles from his starting spot, you can maul him if you are in MD.
⬥ Do not stand MD unless clearing bleeds or at the end of 
• Whenever Vorago melee swipes he has a chance of throwing a blue bomb, which can generate an extra tile of push against you.
⬥ Teamsplit and Ceiling, as well as Purple Bomb and Scopulus, share the same phase 5 mechanics and rotation.
⬥ The below rotations are to be completed in one Vorago cycle (weekly spec - reflect - bleeds - repeat):
• To minimise pushback, early to cover Vorago's blue bombs and reflect
• To maximise push, at the end of reflect and do a lot of damage during bleeds (or the weekly spec).
⬥ To clear bleeds, you should stand MD and 
first bleed, second bleed and run MD, and then + back the third bleed.
• The is to maintain bouncing. If they are not up, just run back closer. When clearing bleeds, stand in the middle of the room, MD to Vorago. This will lead to the most consistent results.
Note: There can be a lot of variance due to crits on how long each part of the phase takes. One rotation will not work every single time. An example rotation is provided for both TS and PB p5s as well as many videos showing slight variations.
P5 Teamsplit & Ceiling
Drop-down into p5 → → → → wait 1 gcd → (tc) + → go to + wait 3 gcd → + → + + + run a few tiles in so you don't cancel →

P5 Purple Bomb - Rotation rationale
⬥ The first five abilities are used immediately on drop-down before Vorago spawns. first just allows you to get to 5 soul stacks prior to
⬥ The first Vorago auto is blocked by the cast during waterfall p4. The should occur right before the second blue bomb hits you and hopefully will last through reflect which gets you to
• If crit though, you will likely generate enough stall that the last 1-2 autos of Vorago will not be under
⬥ Vorago's first bleed can occur right before the end of reflect, so you should aim to not build with damaging abilities at that time.
• Hence the and at the end of reflect.
⬥ Once you get to , a simple rotation follows which should generate more than enough push.
• Depending on push, after the second you might be able to just use + → → → +
Note: is written into the example rotations, but is not necessary at all. It will just bring you from ~87% to 100% hit chance on that first
P5 multi-cycle
If the phase extends longer than the specified rotations above:
⬥ For the second cycle you can use at the start of bleeds and do an rotation, then build adren for 3rd cycle.
• Bomb stacking can reduce pushback, but this is not within the scope of this guide. See Stacking in #Solo Vorago
⬥ For the third cycle aim to the first blue bomb after weekly spec, after reflect and dps during bleeds + next weekly spec, then after reflect build to and repeat.
• Cumulative stacks will help a lot here.
