G’huun, the final boss of the first raid in WoW: Battle for Azeroth, has fallen on Mythic. The “World of Warcraft” guild Method has achieved the World First Kill.
Method claims World First on G’huun: Just a few minutes ago, around 20:25 on September 19, 2018, the first raid end boss in Battle for Azeroth, G’huun in Uldir, was killed on Mythic difficulty. The World First Kill goes to the top guild Method.

Method kills G’huun after just one week
It took 7 days: The Mythic difficulty for Uldir was released on September 12, 2018. Since that day, many guilds worldwide have fought their way forward and taken down boss after boss.
Until today, 8 guilds faced G’huun. The first guild to reach him was Limit, who obtained the World First Kill on the penultimate boss of Uldir, Mythrax. Method and the well-known Russian guild Exorsus followed.
For the European guilds like Method, Uldir itself was only available later. Nevertheless, Method extinguished G’huun in Mythic mode after just over 7 days. Over 150,000 viewers watched the guild live on Twitch.
That’s why raid guilds usually don’t stream: Method decided to stream their raid progress live. Normally, this was taboo: One does not want to give competitors insights into raid secrets to maintain an advantage.
How could Method take down the boss G’huun? Method did not extend the ID for Uldir this week. This allowed raid members to acquire new equipment and approach G’huun with stronger gear than groups that extended the ID.
For the kill itself, Method relied on “Class Stacking,” using many characters of the same class. Rogues found no place in the raid. The group for the kill consisted of:
- 1x Death Knight
- 1x Demon Hunter
- 1x Druid
- 3x Hunter
- 1x Mage
- 5x Monk (including 2 tanks and 2 healers)
- 2x Paladin (both healers)
- 1x Priest (healer)
- 4x Warlock
- and 1x Warrior
How good are the Germans? The best German guild Aversion is currently ranked 16th in the world according to wowprogress (as of September 19, 2018, 20:50). They have defeated 6 out of 8 bosses and are currently facing Mythrax.
Do you want to do it like Method? Here’s how to be properly prepared for the WoW raid Uldir.
