'''Aggramar''' is a [[titan]] [[avatar]]<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql1dv4elqk4&t=23m35s Vanion.eu Gamescom 2017 Interview with Ion Hazzikostas, 23:35]</ref> and is the penultimate boss in [[Antorus, the Burning Throne]].

==Adventure Guide==
''Once the noble Avenger of the Pantheon, Aggramar was struck down by Sargeras and reborn as a titan of destruction. He now stands at the core of Argus, guarding a power that would unmake the universe. Not even demons are permitted to tread within the titan's halls, and any mortals bold enough to trespass will be reduced to cinders by Aggramar's burning blade, Taeshalach.''

==Overview==
Over the course of the encounter Aggramar passively generates energy. Upon reaching 100 Energy, his sword, Taeshalach, unleashes fiery energy and he begins '''Taeshalach Technique''', devastating combo attack, alternating between '''Foe Breaker''' and '''Flame Rend''', ending with a '''Searing Tempest'''. Upon reaching 80% and 40% Aggramar activates his '''Corrupt Aegis''', preventing all damage and the elemental forces within Taeshalach are unleashed. Several smaller Embers of Taeshalach erupt from the blade along with two Flames of Taeshalach. The Embers slowy move towards Aggramar causing a '''Blazing Eruption'''. Killing both Flames of Taeshalach causes Aggramar to resume his attacks.
