This page covers a healer-focused strategy for Morogrim Tidewalker in Serpentshrine Cavern in The Burning Crusade. While it's tailored for healers, other roles may also find the information useful. If you have any suggestions or feedback, you can leave a comment below or tweet @PrestonDvorak.

This guide has been updated and maintained based on my own experiences with the encounter, combat log information, and Dungeon Journal information. I'll continue to update it as-needed.

General Mechanics and Abilities

• Don't stand in front to avoid Tidal Wave.
• Targets up to four random players with Watery Grave, moving them to one of the waterfalls while dealing light damage over time and then moderate damage with Watery Grave Explosion.
• Deals light damage to all players with Earthquake.
  • This summons twelve Tidewalker Lurkers.
    • Tidewalker Lurker
      • These are sometimes tanked by a healer, usually by rapidly healing a Warlock using Life Tap.
      • The tank will be dealing with Carnivorous Bite.
• At 25% health, begins summoning Water Globules from the waterfalls.
  • Water Globule
    • Fixate on a random player.
    • If the fixated player is hit, they take moderate damage and are stunned by Freeze (dispel, magic).
