Zangrom-Thaz Boss chest

The Zangrom-Thaz evolution starts with the Fyrestorm Greataxe in Age of Sigmar runs. You need the Kragg Blackhammer's Master Rune at any level.

Multiple launch-week guides list this pairing. This is a source cross-check, not a claim that this site tested the recipe in game.

How do you get Zangrom-Thaz?

This pairing is for Age of Sigmar runs. A familiar passive can lead to a different recipe in the other universe, so check the universe label before building around it.

Zangrom-Thaz evolution checklist: use the Fyrestorm Greataxe, carry Kragg Blackhammer's Master Rune at any level, and open a boss or elite chest. This is the core requirement set for the Zangrom-Thaz evolution in Age of Sigmar runs.

• Base weapon: Fyrestorm Greataxe; max level is required before its evolution step.
• Passive: Kragg Blackhammer's Master Rune at any level (also called Master Rune).
• Chest: a boss or elite chest after the requirements are ready.
• Result: evolves the weapon and is reported to summon a champion.

Things to know

Reported to summon Gotrek Gurnisson to fight beside you (no second Gotrek if you are already playing as him). This comes from developer posts shared before launch.

Step by step

Keep the weapon, passive and eligible chest requirements in view together. A matching weapon and passive do not trigger an evolution by themselves; the chest is the final step.

1. Level the Fyrestorm Greataxe to max. Most weapons max out at level 8.
2. Pick up the Kragg Blackhammer's Master Rune (some guides call it Master Rune). Any level works, so you do not need to upgrade it.
3. Open a boss or elite chest. Kill a boss or elite enemy and open the chest it drops. If the weapon and passive are both ready, the chest gives you Zangrom-Thaz.
