Echo of Neltharion
The Sanctuary of Neltharion, hidden deep within the Crucible of Shadows, was a place of refuge and research for the Guardian of Earth. Some say the shadows of its powerful presence still haunt the area, pondering the future of the black dragonflight and the measures needed to ensure its success.

In P2, the 3 adds are invulnerable until their shield is broken by players with Corruption. Other players cannot attack them until then.
At the start of P2 and throughout the phase, a few players get Corruption. They are hostile but can hit the adds. Breaking the add's shield removes Corruption and allows everyone to hit them.
In P3, the small adds from the portals deal increasing damage.
Mythic Changes
Breaking walls deals a lot more damage. Only destroy one wall section each time you need to break walls.
In P1 and P2, the bombs are now huge AoEs. You can't place most of them in a single section of the room without hitting everyone else.
You'll often want to break one wall to have more space to deal with the bombs and allow 2 or 3 players to go explode in another section.
In P3, only one player can hide in each portal to survive Ebon Destruction.
