Shriekwing Normal and Shriekwing Heroic guide! Shriekwing is a raid boss in the Castle Nathria raid of Shadowlands.This Shriekwing boss guide will show you the Shriekwing abilities that you’ll see in the Normal, Heroic and LFR versions of the Shriekwing fight. Mythic Shriekwing has additional mechanics not shown in this Normal and Heroic Shriekwing guide. Footage of Shriekwing for this boss guide is from PTR raid testing and some mechanics may look different or see a name change when the Castle Nathria raid releases on live servers starting December 8th.
The key to Shriekwing is positioning. In melee, it’s helpful to sidestep when Shriekwing aims Blind Swipe in your direction- it won’t end your life, but it also won’t end your damage. The Blind Swipe cone only projects out about twelve yards from Shriekwing, so the ranged don’t need to worry about it. They do need to worry about Echolocation- any player targeted by Echolocation needs to run their debuff out of the group (and away from pillars), preferably dropping it near the edge of the room.
When Shriekwing begins to cast Earsplitting Shriek, everyone needs to stack up tight behind a pillar to line of sight the cast. If you don’t, Earsplitting Shriek will do massive damage to you. After it goes out, everyone drops a pool so move from the stack point. Tanks have time to stack behind the pillar with the raid as long as they weren’t tanking crazy far away. If it’s more convenient and they can easily survive, they could stay out.
When Shriekwing reaches 100 energy, she’ll cast her Blood Shroud and begin rampaging around. She does not need to be tanked in this phase. Everyone needs to avoid her, if you get within 12 yards of Shriekwing during this phase you’ll instantly die. There will be Echoing Sonar echoes to dodge, and getting clipped by them will trigger AOE as well as dropping pools so staying on your toes and avoiding echoes is important. Her energy will be draining as she roams about, and when it runs out you’re back to phase one.
On Heroic, Shriekwing will also generate echoes to dodge in Phase One using her Echoing Screech. She aims those in a general direction and some raids may find clever positioning and raid-wide moves can avoid the need to dodge these- however, considering that Shriekwing is the first boss in the Castle Nathria raid, it’s likely that she’s tuned so easy that it won’t matter greatly.

The best
Hazel guides are the best ones out there 🙂
I love your guides they’re super simple
Great vídeo, Hazel. Just the sound is a bit low specially when I have game sound while watching the video.
Hey, big thanks for your guide, and HUGE thanks for your DBM voice pack!
I found the base one hard to notice among the chaos, but with yours for some reason I never miss the warnings 🙂
here we go again
My god I tried watching the fatboss video and its just fucking excrutiating. Thank you for these quick breakdown
Ima give this to the boys to watch. FATBOSS’s guide was good but it went for 7 odd minutes and went through mythic changes to the fight as well which won’t apply to the normal mode raiders. Great vid will youse more if you gots ‘em.
What morons leave minuses here?!
thanks for the guides hazel. you are awesome
Because of guides like this, I might actually have some hope of Raid Leading pugs this Tuesday lol!
I love you hazel! Thanks for the concise guide
Great video, this fight will be a nightmare for LFR lmao
Thank you for getting these out!
Hazelnuttygames to the rescue once again!
I'm prepping now to be ready for raid opening Tuesday. Ty so much for the fun, fast, and detailed guides so I don't die to dumb. 😀
"don't get hit" sounds like a new mechanic to so many players in like every raid raid :'D
Thank you so much for providing guides that get right to the point and are only a few minutes long!
She literally has me mentally prepped for every raid
Tomorrow is my first raid ever and these vids are amazing!!!
I hope you update this when it is live? I appreciate this
@0:57 the tank and melee does not LoS that boss ability what is going on Hazel??
So, should the tanks also hide or not? In the video, doesn't look like the tank is hiding
your boss guides are now my go to, no filler, straight to the point with the things you need to know. well done.
This is great, but I have to turn my system volume up pretty high to hear you.
Let me say. I love you for the mythic dungeon quick guides so I'm sure this is going to be equally awesome. Great job kid!
"Don't worry. They scrapped that mechanic" is what you say until you get to mythic
You always have the clearest most concise guides, which is exactly what I want. Will figure out the fine print with my guild 👍 thank u hazel!
ty
But wait, how ever will you monetize these videos and kowtow to the YouTube algorithm if you don't stretch these videos out to 10+ minutes?
So straightforward!!! Thank you!!
Outdated, unfinished :/
Honestly I was so worried about this fight, and now that I see thgis it doesnt look nearly as bad as I thought! Thank you!
I also have her voice pack for dbm and love it. Thank you Hazel.
thank you for doing all these!
I love hazel guides over fatboss, so much more simple and never over complicated.
Love the simple explanations. Easy watching and repeat watch isn't monotonous.
Hazel you talk way too slow!
Fucking love hazel
The volume is so frickin low. You need to increase your mic gain sis.
why aren't there any plate classes in this raid ?
Thank you very much! Great guide as always. Just one minor thing, could you put the screenshots of the boss' spells just a little bit upper on top of your spells bar line? Otherwise progress bar from the video hides a part of it. Thanks!!
Best quick guides
Ty
