CaribaLd has achieved another hunter world first, soloing Yogg-Saron with no Keepers on 25-man difficulty. There is a ~ 3-4 percent chance that Yogg-Saron with No Keepers (25) will drop Mimiron’s Head.
CaribaLd: Short fight description:
Phase 1: Easy, popping clouds to speed it up.
Phase 2: Macro to Blink Strike constrictors, then targets corrupter or crusher if no corrupters are alive. Feign Death @ 28 sanity sometimes stops Psychosis spam, so I do that. Silencing Shot 24 sec CD, Corruptors spawn every 25. Crusher should be dead once third Corrupter spawns (it barely is in the kill). Second Crusher should have black arrow when entering portal. Portals sometimes spawn before 4th Constrictor, sometimes after. On kill I got the 4th Constrictor, pretty unfortunate, but evidently not impossible to come back from.
Icecrown is best vision to get, but even with that I got a 4th Corrupter upstairs because of the 4th Constrictor. Another 600k to kill… I leave brain room with dots and pet up, maximizing time to clear tentacles before phase 3. I outrange pet when it’s in brain room just before phase 3 so I can resummon without having to cast a long dismiss. Pet tanks remaining Crusher to prevent -20% damage debuff.
Phase 3: Maximizing dps on Yogg, even to the point of turning between Lunatic Gaze ticks – required to beat soft enrage. I Cower with pet on first beacon wave to survive with it, as well as tank a few adds myself which despawned once I feigned. Even if they didn’t, they wouldn’t get the heal which would mean my pet would take less damage.
2nd beacon wave I have Shell Shield and Last Stand. Cower comes back up as Shell Shield is expiring – pet barely survives. I aoe once beacon HoT is gone.
At third beacon wave pet can’t survive. I move it away from Yogg so he doesn’t get heal and nuke the rest down. Nitro boosts to kite, deterrence to tank adds with back turned to Yogg while dots finished him.

Used a couple more but hardly necessary. One to target a portal, so I could spam that macro and Interact With. Another would target either an Immortal Guardian, or a Marked Immortal Guardian if I held ctrl. The idea was to Distracting Shot one out of the group, but in the kill I didn’t use it.

I’m not sure when the video will be finished. I’m having trouble getting footage on my pc that I can use in Sony Vegas… I would prefer making a video with music rather that just uploading the raw footage on youtube :(
A small update: I am currently rendering the video, however, I’m not quite sure how it’ll turn out. I’m afraid the video quality will outright bad, so we’ll see if it’s even worth uploading in that state. I’ll post again once I know more.
Video is up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1kG_xVRX9c
Short description can be found in video description. A link to my EJ post can be found as well, which contains a more elaborate (although disorganized) explanation.
As expected video quality isn’t great, but sadly I can’t produce anything better with stream footage :(
Thank you CaribaLd. I’ll update the post with your new video shortly.
Thank you! :)
New video and info added. Grats on your kill!
