Terestian Illhoof, along with his minion Kil’rek, is an optional boss in the library section of Karazhan. Both have a low-aggro range - you can sneak around the side at the start, and resurrect everyone in the room with no difficulty. The focus is Illhoof and he should be the major focus of damage unless Demon Chains are up. When someone is being sacrificed killing the Demon Chains becomes the most important priority of the encounter. Keep the non elite imps under control and this fight will be over in no time.
