Razelikh the Defiler Razelikh the Defiler ( a . k . a Rakh ' likh ) is a level 60 elite named dreadlord and demon ic overlord of the Blasted Lands . Background . Besides being served by the death knight Ilifar and Felcular , Razelikh is protected by a triad composed by Grol the Destroyer , Lady Sevine , and Archmage Allistarj . In exchange for their servitude , Razelikh granted each of them nearly unlimited power within the Blasted Lands . Each of Razelikh ' s underlings wears a third of an amulet of Razelikh ' s creation around their neck . The very same amulet is needed in order to summon the arch demon . The amulet pieces are each attuned to the lifeforce of their owner , granting them immortality . As long as they remain within the Blasted Lands , they cannot be slain , their life spans extended until the end of days . There is only one way to harm the demon lord and his minions . A weapon of power must be forged bearing his true name : Rakh ' likh . When such a weapon is forged , the demon and all under his command are vulnerable . Razelikh ' s lair is atop the highest mountain in the Blasted Lands : the Rise of the Defiler . The only way to reach his lair is through the use of the teleport runes near the base of the mountain . Only by holding the amulet can one be transported to the peak . The quest chain to summon and kill Razelikh / Rakh ' likh is one of the longest and most convoluted in the game , taking players from the Blasted Lands to Azshara and Stranglethorn Vale before returning them to the Blasted Lands for the final battle . Tactics . He ' s immune to all debuff s / stun s , to all paladin judgements , warlock s DoT s ( all curse s , corruption ) , banish , fear , and also shadow and fire damage . The debuff s from the Enchanted Azsharite Felbane weapons don ' t appear to affect him , just his minions . During combat , Rakh ' likh summons one of his minions , a Death Knight , then later his champion , a felguard . Between the two , he will do a powerful knockback which have the nasty habit of knocking the tank off the mountain . It has a five - second cast , so run away while he ' s charging up . If not , a quick charge can save your life . Pets are immune to the knockback , but a tank must prepare . Either the full length of the plateau ( so the tank lands still on the plateau ) , or where there is a solid wall behind him to stop the flight . There are two common strategies to avoid him knocking the tank off the mountain which occurs at 50 % health . ( In addition to potentially wiping the group , can cause the tank to miss being able to loot the Severed Horn of the Defiler if he gets knocked far enough away ) . First , there is a ledge below the top with the " Rune of Return " on it ( It teleports you to . If you can pull Razelikh to that ledge , the tank can place his back against the wall , negating the knockback . Secondly , when Razelikh is about to perform his knockback , he shout " Let the flames of chaos engulf you ! " . At this point , all melee can simply run out of range of the channeled knockback and avoid it completely . Speculation . Exactly how a relatively mid - level Dreadlord was granted the same title as the insidious Archimonde is unknown . It is possible such a title is simply relative and not reflective of rank or level of power when compared to another with the same title ( Ragnaros the Firelord vs Cyrukh the Firelord , Kil ' Jaeden the Deceiver vs . Kalaran the Deceiver ) . See You Are Rakh ' likh , Demon quest chain - for the quest chain leading up to Rakh ' likh .
