The Lost Explorers abilities
Blizzard's own text for every spell this encounter casts, unedited.
This is the reference, not the plan. For what to do about any of it, read the The Lost Explorers guide.
Overview
Mor'zahi uses Dark Whispers to gain control over a group of tortollan explorers he has lured into the temple. If his control over them is broken, Mor'zahi casts Mor'zahi's Command, expending all of his energy to reassert control and grant the target additional abilities.
Mor'zahi inflicts deadly damage if he is allowed to finish casting Final Ascension.
Mor'zahi's concentration can be broken if a tortollan he is controlling consumes a Disgusting Fish.
