WOTLK - Hadronox dies to enemy spawned mobs before party can kill and receive credit

WOTLK

Queue for RDF and get the Azjol-Nerub dungeon. Kill the first boss. Go to the room where Hadronox spawns. Kill the 3 gate keeper NPC’s that spawn at the webbed hill. Wait for Hadronox to walk up the spiral up to the webbed hill. Watch Hadronox die not heal and quickly to the spawned mobs before players have a chance to engage.

Character name: Majo
Realm: Faerlina

It seems that Hadonox is not healing anymore. If I recall correctly, Hadronox is supposed to constantly heal while killing the spawned enemy mobs at least until the party engages Hadonox. Back in the original WOTLK, Hadronox was supposed to stop healing after the party killed enough of the enemy mobs that are attacking Hadronox. This was also supposed to trigger the phase where the enemy mobs stop spawning and coming out of the temple building.

Because Hadronox died to enemy mobs, we did not receive 1.) credit for the kill, 2.) the loot, and 3.) the achievement for completing Azjol-Nerub. See the two screenshots linked below showing 1.) Hadronox DEAD and 2.) not receiving the completed achievement for the dungeon because the enemy mobs killed Hadronox (not the party):

It was always possible to have the adds kill Hadronox. If you attacked her or got into to combat with her, she would sometimes be overwhelmed before closing the doors up top for the achievement and die. Seems like that happened to you, minus the engage her in combat portion. Hence, there was no loot awarded.

Blizzard has only been answering about low level dungeons though. Nothing about the bugs in VH resetting with 0 bosses dead and receiving no loot or credit until the final boss.

No, we did not attack her before she killed all of the mobs. Did you miss the part where I said we watched Hadronox die? No where in my post does it say to “engage” Hadronox to reproduce these steps. See the original post please.

I’ve done this countless times in original WOTLK and I’ve done this over 15 times on alts in Classic thus far. Hadronox has not once died to the enemy mobs after the original thread was posted. Each time we’ve waited for Hadronox to finish killing the mobs.

It was possible for it to happen, had it happen in a couple of groups back in the day during the original release of WotLK. It wasn’t common but certainly was possible.
