N'Zoth the Corruptor
Official Overview (Blizzard)
N'Zoth assaults players' bodies and minds across two separate realms, the physical realm and the Mind of N'Zoth. In the physical realm, N'Zoth defends himself with an array of fearsome tentacles and dominating psychic magic. Players are drawn into the Mind of N'Zoth by the Corruptor's Glimpse of Infinity or by entering a Mindgate. Within the Mind of N'Zoth awaits Psychus, the guardian of N'Zoth's thoughts, along with other denizens and visions conjured by the Corruptor. Slaying Psychus triggers Shattered Ego, making N'Zoth vulnerable for a window within the physical realm. To return to the physical realm, players must reach their lifeless bodies and Restore Consciousness. As players weaken N'Zoth, he casts Convergence, drawing the Chamber of Heart and Ny'alotha into dimensional alignment to fulfill his ultimate purpose.
