Bal'lak's defence level is shown at the top part of the screen as an orange bar, which begins to fill at a steady rate when players are in the boss room. The defence bar determines how much your accuracy is reduced, as you will still deal damage if you land a successful hit on Bal'lak. If it fills completely, damaging him will become impossible.
As Bal'lak is attacked, he will split rifts in the ground and cause bubbling pools of noxious fumes to appear on the floor. Each pool causes rapid damage to players standing in the 3x3 square surrounding it. Bal'lak should be lured near one of these pools to weaken his defence, with each being able to reduce up to 30% of his defence bar. However, it drains the players' defence as well. Occasionally, multiple puddles are found clustered together. If the player can successfully lure Bal'lak over the cluster of puddles, his defence will be reduced faster.
While protection prayers and deflection curses are frequently disabled by this boss, he cannot deactivate any other prayers and curses.
The ideal strategy for higher level players is to ignore the pools and just attack him. The boss should be dead before its defence becomes an issue.
Bal'lak will often target an individual player and attack them for most of the fight. A strategy for teams is to agree before entering that whichever player Bal'lak targets has the responsibility of leading him towards these pools. By this method a good team can stop his defence ever rising past 30% and will find he dies rather quickly.
A safer but slower strategy is to continually attack him (without worrying about his defence bar) and then use Gatestone Teleport if his defence bar rises close to maximum. Waiting outside of the room reduces the bar, allowing players to enter the boss room again and continue the offensive. All party members must leave the boss room for the bar to reset.
