Lithiel Cinderfury
Murder Row · boss 4 of 4
Lithiel Cinderfury sees the Voidstorm above Silvermoon as both threat and opportunity. Her people are afraid, and she has a perfect solution... the power of fel. She claims her smuggling operation protects her people from the dangers above, but the profits she receives are a pleasing bonus.
Her own gateway is the answer to her own wave, take it. And kill the imps before the wave reaches them, because anything it touches comes out faster.
Malefic Wave expands across a large area for heavy damage and stacking Fire vulnerability; Lithiel opens a Demonic Gateway to escape, and players who travel through it are spared the wave's initial impact and vulnerability. The wave also empowers any of her demons it rolls over, so clear adds before it arrives.
The spells that matter

Fingers of Gul'dan
Demonic Gateway
Malefic Wave
Malefic Empowerment
Chaos Bolt
Summon Infernal
Summon Vilefiend
Felshield
What actually kills you
Everything else is noise until these three are handled.
- Eating Malefic Wave on foot. The Fire vulnerability stacks, so each pass hurts more than the last.
- Leaving Wild Imps alive into the wave. Malefic Empowerment hastes them, and Fingers of Gul'dan spawns them next to everyone.
- A Chaos Bolt that resolves. It is a large hit on a random target and it is interruptible.
Your job
If you tank
- The Furious Vilefiend hits hard and needs picking up while the group handles imps and the wave.
- The Infernal fixates rather than tanks; whoever it picks kites it, and you cannot taunt it off them.
If you heal
- Even through the gateway, players who pass the wave keep a lingering burn; the portal reduces the damage, it does not remove it.
- Fingers of Gul'dan lands on every player at once: group damage and an add spawn in the same cast.
If you DPS
- Take the gateway. Running from the wave loses; going through the portal beats it outright.
- Clear the imps before the wave arrives; empowered demons are a far bigger problem than the imps themselves.
- Interrupt Chaos Bolt; between you it should never resolve.
How the fight goes
| Part | What to do |
|---|---|
| Step 1 | Fingers of Gul'dan drops Shadowflame on everyone and bursts Wild Imps beside each player. |
| Step 2 | Lithiel opens a Demonic Gateway to escape and begins Malefic Wave. |
| Step 3 | The wave expands, go through the gateway, and kill anything it would otherwise empower. |
Higher keys
Heroic and Mythic
The journal publishes no key-level-specific text; higher keys scale health and damage. We would rather say that than invent a difference.

Worth a bonus roll?
You cannot roll this boss on its own. A dungeon roll is against the whole instance, so this table is one part of a pool that includes every other boss in Murder Row — the bonus roll guide explains what that changes, and the planner works it out per spec.
