How To Kill Watchkeeper Gargolmar - The First Boss in Hellfire Ramparts - World of Warcraft

This essay will explain how to kill Watchkeeper Gargolmar; the first boss in Hellfire Ramparts. Gargolmar patrols the road with two Watchers and is a fairly easy encounter as long as you kill or CC the Watchers. Prior to engaging this boss, it is recommended that you thoroughly clear the area of all trash mobs.

There are only two things that you should be concerned with while fighting Gargolmar:

Watchkeepers – These two will heal Gargolmar. It is imperative that you either kill them first or keep them CC’d throughout the fight.

Knockback – Watchkeeper Gargolmar will charge and knockback the player who is furthest from him. All cloth wearers should move close to Gargolmar to avoid getting charged. The best option is to have a mail or plate wearing party member stay at max range from Gargolmar. This player will get charged multiple times throughout the fight.

The recommended strategy is as follows:

Your tank should pull Gargolmar and stay on him throughout the fight. You should CC (crowd control) one Watcher by sheeping, sapping, ice trapping, etc. While your tank gains aggro on Gargolmar, the rest of the party should kill the remaining Watcher. After that Watcher is dead, the entire party should then DPS Gargolmar to zero. You will have to keep the remaining Watcher crowd controlled throughout the fight. After Gargolmar is dead, you will need to kill the remaining Watcher.

The key to winning this fight is crowd controlling the Watchers, or simply killing them first. Good luck!
