About Blackfathom Deeps
Blackfathom Deeps is a sunken temple on the Zoram Strand, now home to naga, satyrs and the Twilight's Hammer cult. Much of it is underwater or around flooded pools, and the final chamber holds Aku'mai, a creature tied to the old powers the cultists worship.
On Keldurn, Blackfathom Deeps follows the rules of patch 1.12 with x1 rates, so the run still rewards a balanced group, crowd control and a careful pull.

Tips for a first run
Bring a tank, a healer and three damage dealers, and agree on loot rules before the first pull.
- Pull the naga casters out of the water so the party can fight on dry stone.
- Lighting the four braziers in the final hall spawns waves of enemies before Aku'mai.
- Water-breathing potions or spells make the underwater sections much safer.
