The exceptional player Rextroy has done it again. In WoW, he took down a current raid boss – within a second.
In the past, we have often reported on the player Rextroy. He has become a fixed presence in the World of Warcraft community, as he continually discovers bugs, exploits, and funny combinations of abilities to accomplish seemingly incredible feats – such as his one-hit ability in PvP.
Now he has found another trick that allows him to take down current raid bosses solo. With just a single attack, he kills Furorion in the Ny’alotha raid.
What does Rextroy do? With his shaman Xodon, Rextroy shows how he managed to kill Furorion with just one attack. The only help he needs is from three friends who teleport him into the current raid. The fight is over in a moment; these players couldn’t really “help” anyway.
How does it work? Rextroy has once again combined a series of smaller and larger effects to create this one-hit attack. He needs three things:
- Diving Fury: This axe can be found with the boss Blackwater Behemoth. It has a passive effect. With a melee hit, there is a chance to activate Diving Fury. For 12 seconds, 5% of the player’s total damage dealt is stored and then unleashed on 3 nearby enemies.
- Mantis Firebomb: This can be looted in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. It deals high area damage.
- Throne of Tides: At the final boss of this instance, players receive a powerful buff at the end. They deal 2,000% additional damage for a few seconds.
115 million damage with one attack
Rextroy combined all these effects. He waited until he had gathered many enemies around him. Once Diving Fury was activated, he detonated the Mantis Firebomb and annihilated the enemies.
Even while the 12 seconds of the axe were running, his friends teleported him back into the raid against Furorion. He was then greeted with a damage output of a whopping 115,498,072 damage points. That’s more than double the amount of health the boss actually has.
Is the bug still in the game? No. Even before Rextroy released the video, he contacted the developers at Blizzard. Only after they assured him that exploiting these mechanics in the game was no longer possible did he publish the video. It is therefore no longer possible to duplicate or exploit this bug. It was similar when he used the trick to defeat MOTHER solo.
This is how Rextroy usually proceeds – when he finds a bug, he waits to publish the video until Blizzard is aware of the issue.
What do you think of Rextroy and his achievements? Absolutely amazing? Or annoying and disruptive bug-using?
