Judging by the battered, unarmed, and bare-headed model, I'd say this is the version of the Lich King that players fight in the final portion of the encounter.

Kommentar von Boarman

Arthas 'Weapon-rack' Menethil. It's his middle name.

Kommentar von Boarman

If you go to the centre of Dalaran, there are some statues on a fountain in which within them there's a 'usable' memorial sign, which if you right-click on will show you the cinematic of Arthas's death.

Kommentar von 197806

Anyone else disappointed with the model for the burnt Bolvar? Looks like some unfinished animator's work hurrily throw in to make the cinematic...

Kommentar von Darthdavo

What i don't understand... Is why Tirion gets a statue in Dalaran of himself... when he did bugger all!

Shouldn't WE be the one in the statue's place?

Kommentar von Arthredemis

Don't look so smug! I know what you're thinking, but Icecrown Citidal was merely a set back. Did you honestly believe I would die so easily? Hahahaha... Oh no, no, no, he was merely an instrument, a stepping stone to a much larger plan! It has all led to this...and this time, you will not interfere!

How much <Ashen Verdict> reputation is he awarding?

His kill awards 1500 Reputation for <Ashen Verdict>

Is the only way to get rid of the disease in p1 is to let it tick for 15 seconds? If it's dispelled, it loses a stack and jumps (it never goes below 1 stack so it can't be removed by dispelling?). If it kills the target, it gains a stack and jumps. In theory, you could get an out of control disease if it reaches too many stacks and ends up killing the vrykul mobs before the 15 second duration goes away. Am I understanding this correctly? Does the jump mechanic have a max radius?

Kommentar von 481132

The Lich King has actually 103M hp in 25-man Hardmode which will make him even more challenging.

Kommentar von Darthdavo

At long last. He's de-frosted his ass from the Frozen Throne!

Kommentar von doomdoom

One emblem of frost for defeating the largest threat to azeroth at this moment! ONE!
Yet we kill the Icewatcher, someone who has done nothing wrong and is a simple loot vendor and get two?
I feel sorry for Arthas, when him and his raiding buddies go out Toravon ninjas all the Emblems. :O

Kommentar von 414927

Ashen Verdict: "oh you killed the Lich king, good for you! here is 250 rep.... AND NO FOR THE LAST TIME YOU CANNOT WEAR THE EXALTED RING YET SO STOP NAGGING"

Then the guy from Ashen Verdict points at some hobo near the enterance and says "you see that hobo over there that keeps killing the same worthless skeleton over and over again? yeah we love this guy" and shouts "come here hobo.... here take the exalted ring, keep up the good work"

Quotes for this long fight goes as follows:

Intro

The Lich King yells: So...the Light's vaunted justice has finally arrived. Shall I lay down Frostmourne and throw myself at your mercy, Fordring?
Highlord Tirion Fordring yells: We will grant you a swift death, Arthas. More than can be said for the thousands you've tortured and slain.
The Lich King yells: You will learn of that first hand. When my work is complete, you will beg for mercy -- and I will deny you. Your anguished cries will be testament to my unbridled power.
Highlord Tirion Fordring yells: So be it. Champions, attack!

The Lich King freezes Highlord Tirion Fordring in a block of ice.

The Lich King yells: I'll keep you alive to witness the end, Fordring. I would not want the Light's greatest champion to miss seeing this wretched world remade in my image.

Aggro (Personally, I've never heard of this one, he tends to attack instantly after the dialogue)
Come then champions, feed me your rage!

Casting Remorseless Winter
I will freeze you from within until all that remains is an icy husk!

Casting Quake
Watch as the world around you collapses!

Summon Val'kyr
Val'kyr, your master calls!

Casting Harvest Soul
Frostmourne hungers...

Player escapes Frostmourne
Argh... Frostmourne, obey me!

Player is devoured by Frostmourne
Frostmourne feeds on the soul of your fallen ally!

Fury of Frostmourne ("You win" call actually)
Apocalypse!
Bow down before your lord and master!

Killing a player
Hope wanes!
The end has come!

Berserk
Face now your tragic end!

Outro

The Lich King casts Fury of Frostmourne, killing all players at once.

The Lich King yells: No question remains unanswered. No doubts linger. You are Azeroth's greatest champions! You overcame every challenge I laid before you. My mightiest servants have fallen before your relentless onslaught, your unbridled fury... Is it truly righteousness that drives you? I wonder.
The Lich King yells: You trained them well, Fordring. You delivered the greatest fighting force this world has ever known... right into my hands -- exactly as I intended. You shall be rewarded for your unwitting sacrifice.

The Lich King begins to cast a resurrection spell.

The Lich King yells: Watch now as I raise them from the dead to become masters of the Scourge. They will shroud this world in chaos and destruction. Azeroth's fall will come at their hands -- and you will be the first to die.

The Lich King laughs.

The Lich King yells: I delight in the irony.
Highlord Tirion Fordring yells: LIGHT, GRANT ME ONE FINAL BLESSING. GIVE ME THE STRENGTH... TO SHATTER THESE BONDS!

Light smites the ice block, freeing Tirion.
Tirion jumps and strikes Frostmourne with the Ashbringer, shattering it.

The Lich King yells: Impossible...
Highlord Tirion Fordring yells: No more, Arthas! No more lives will be consumed by your hatred!

The souls trapped inside Frostmourne escape and swirl around the Lich King, lifting him in the air.
The ghost of Terenas Menethil II appears.

Terenas Menethil II yells: Free at last! It is over, my son. This is the moment of reckoning.

Terenas' ghost begins to cast a resurrection spell.

Terenas Menethil II yells: Rise up, champions of the Light!

Terenas resurrects all players.
The raid moves in to finish the Lich King.

The Lich King yells: Now I stand, the lion before the lambs... and they do not fear.
The Lich King yells: They cannot fear.

As the Lich King's HP reaches 0, the swirling maelstrom of souls stops and the Lich King falls to the ground, losing the Helm of Domination.
Arthas tries to reach for it but loses what little strength he has and collapses.

Kommentar von 371289

When he is killed for the first time on a realm a fountain appears in the middle of Dalaran.
You can use it to watch and watch again the Lich King death cinematic.

Anyway, you will be able to find the cinematic also in your World of Warcraft installation folders, following this path:

/World of Warcraft/Data/enGB/Interface/Cinematics/WOW_FotLK_1024.avi

and, the same cinematic, but with a lower quality

10 man ICC, Bolvich Forkingon

Tirion: Finally, the Lich King has fallen. However, a new one must take his place. Who shall wear the Helm of Domination?

Tirion Greeds 74 so he can vendor it for 40g
Saurfang passes, saying he doesn't need a helm that will lower his stats.
Varian greeds 37
Darion Morgraine needs 64
Jaina Proudmoore greeds 21
Sylvannas greeds 43
Muradin needs 12
Thrall passes
The Argent Champion, Hogger passes

Darion: Awesome, I can really use that helm as a-

-Bolvar returns from being afk-
Bolvar Fordragon needs 86

-Bolvar Fordragon recieves the Helm of Domination-

Kommentar von 539046

Have you ever counted the skulls on Arthas/Lich Kings's armor?

Kommentar von 501371

It really is too bad he does not drop his helmet, and it would have to be like, you equip it, and it automatically matches to your class and spec, that would be epicawesome.

Kommentar von Quilan

I would laugh if the helmet rolled off and you saw Illidan

phase 2 start when helm rolled off: "Black Temple was mearly a setback."

dieing line: "I... guess you were... prepared."

Kommentar von 231645

I can see it now in the future after the defeat;

Arthas: "Don't look so smug! I know what you're thinking, but Icecrown Citadel was merely a setback..."

The end of this fight is the most epic I have ever seen done by Blizzard and I've been raiding since AQ40 came out. I decided not to spoil the last 10% in watching a video and settled for watching the cinematic to hold me over until I killed him myself, and having just done so; All I can say is wow epic ending.

Kommentar von IbFeeshin

Pft, strategy guides, you guys are idiots.
*Pushes The Lich King*
The Lich King takes 61,009,376 fall damage.
The Lich King dies.
*Loots* Do I win an internet yet?

Kommentar von 516981

Yo. Got this #$%^& down a while ago. Figured I could contribute with a great tip for handling Soul Reaper in phase 2.

Using Safeguard, a buff given from a Protection Warrior's ability Intervene, rendered tank swapping unnecessary.

The -30% damage taken removes a great deal of the spike damage and somewhat neutralizes the bonus damage the Lich King gets afterwards. As the Protection Warrior also soaks the next melee-attack, you further increase the MT's chances of survival. Also worth knowing is that Soul Reaper and Intervene both are on 30 sec cooldown.

GL and have fun! :)

The cutsce of the lich kings death:
(Interesting music starts to play)
(An image of Arthas' father appears and kneels before Arthas' dieing corpse)
(Arthas grabs the spectral shirt of his ghost of a father)
Arthas: Father. Is it... Over?
Father: At long last. No king rules forever my son
Arthas: I see... Only darkness before... me
(His hand slaps the ground in a momment of death)
Father: Without it's master's command the restless scourge will become an even greater threat to this world. Control must be maintained. There must always be (thunder & lightning) a Lich king
(Arthas' father dissappears.)
(Horns begin to play as highlord Tirion Fording picks up the crown)
Tirion: The weight... of such a burden. It must be mine, for there is no other to...
?: TIRION! you hold a grim destiny in your hands brother. But it is not your own.
(Tirion takes a look at a flaming image of Bolvar Fodragon)
Tirion: Bolvar!
Tirion: By all that is holy...
Bolvar: The Dragon's flame... sealed my fait. The world of the living can no longer comfort me.
Bolvar: Place the crown upon my head Tirion, forever more i will be the jailor of the damned.
Tirion: No i cannot...
Bolvar: DO IT TIRION. And tell them only that the lich king is dead, if they are to live without the tyranny of fear they must not know what was done here today.
Tirion: You will not be forgotton old friend
Bolvar: I MUST be forgotton tirion.
(He places the crown upon his head, becoming the new lich king)
Now leave this place... and NEVER RETURN.

PS: why do you find it necessary to downrate this? Nobody else has posted it yet.

Kommentar von Zalafina

Does anyone have the /script command where Arthas' father shouts, "Rise up, champions of the light!" It's freaking EPIC =)

Kommentar von Arlond345

Anyone else notice in the cienimatic where Arthas dies Tiron kind goes Golem (From LotR) over the helmet? Like if it wasn't the burnt corpse of the Alliance champion taking it from him he would have happily put it on? I think someone was having a power trip

Kommentar von 243007

Would be really sweet if someone could post the /script lines to each of his speech. Not really necessary to write the text aswell, those lines would be highly appreciated thought.

Kommentar von 523792

Does anyone know, is the line "I see only darkness before me" meant to be taken as "I see" in response to "no king rules forever, my son" followed by "Only darkness before me" or is it meant it that he sees nothing but darkness ahead of him?
I assume it is the latter but I can see it going either way.

According to this Wowhead map of ICC, after The Frozen Throne there is another floor called "Frostmourne". Is it actually in-game, and if it is what exactly is there (I know it's kinda obvious from the name :D but i want a screenshot or something). Thanks in advance!

The idea of the Lich King actually dying is kind of shocking dont you think, i mean i lived out the entire Frozen Throne expansion on Warcraft and that was epic coz the they are like GOD...

Kommentar von 318560

The Lich King's helm might have Ner'zhul in it considering that he was trapped in the suit of armor before Arthas shattered the frozen throne and put it on, so Bolvar prolly is gonna get corrupted... again.

Kommentar von 545254

Wow wouldn`t it be cool if there was a melee trinket called

Kommentar von 381360

I feel sorta bad for killing arthas the way we did. i mean first of all is all this really arthas' fault? once he took up frostmourne he wasn't arthas anymore he was soulless and working for Ner'zhul and it was ner'zhul who drove him to be the lich king and even though he dominated the mind of the lich king he was soulless and evil. Then once frostmourne is shattered he gets his soul back, so he suddenly becomes prince arthas againand hes floating up in the air completely helpless and we just kill him as hes floating, epic as it is i just feel sorta bad cuz none of this was really arthas' fault.

Kommentar von 347360

Stupid Tirion...
trinketed the Scatter Shot and had to eat the trap.
L2 Trinket!

Kommentar von Spectre27

Why does he only give 1,500 rep? Because the quest from Darion to kill him (in the Shadowmourne chain) gives 300,000 reputation with the Ashen Verdict.

Kommentar von 521273

Just wanted to take this opportunity to QQ about the way they changed the weapons from LK 10 to LK 25. The only wep a hance sham can use on LK 10 says 'main hand' on it. QQ moar. what was wrong with a 1h axe? sigh. i hate you too, blizz.

Raging Spirit - Summons 1 Raging Spirit. Used 3 times during each transition phase.

It's used 3 times during the 70% transition (phase 1.50), and 4 times at the 40% transition (phase 2.50)

I wonder why the Vanquisher's Mark of Santification (DK, Druid, Mage, Rogue) is not listed under "Normal 10 Drops"... is that correct? or just an error?... and if it's not an error, why then? :S

no tokens doesn't drop from the normal 10 man although they drop from 10 man bosses on hc - saurfang, the lich king , sindragosa, the professor and the blood queen

Can someone post the sound file for this line "Now I stand, the Lion Before the lambs. They Do not Fear."
"They cannot Fear."

Has anybody killed this guy without the 5% buff? If not, then does that make The Lich King the longest boss it took to be killed without a buff?

Some players join the group that has downed Lich King already but themselves are not exalted with Ahsen Verdict yet. For such players, reputation of 1500 is very welcome.

The Lich King has less gold than The Lurker Below.

Kommentar von 588530

King Arthis. I am basically the main character in warcraft lore and i was treated like a random npc in MY expansion Wrath of the Lich King. I am disappointed in my own loot and i should have just used that spell that instantly kills all players in the beginning of the fight instead of waiting for Ashbringer man to jump out of the ice and kill me. Blizzard has also lowered my intelligence level significantly and I make very very unwise decisions. I send the Deathknight with Ashbringer to a death sentence to bring out a ugly old paladin. Am i dumb or not? I let all the Ashen Verdict storm my base while i sit here waiting. I dont send frostwyrms to attack unprotected horde and alliance bases. Am i dumb or what? I can teleport almost anywhere i wish and yet i do not teleport to assassinate Ashbringer man? or other threats like thrall and the human king? I am i dumb? I AM DEAD AND I DONT SLEEP YET I SPEND ENDLESS HOURS DOING NOTHING BUT WATCHING OVER MINDLESS DEAD.

Kommentar von 516366

Just to clear something up, after Ner'Zhul's soul was combined with that of Arthas the new Lich King went into a dreamstate for some time (since Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne until World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King) whilst in his dreamstate Ner'zhul and what was left of Arthas good side were each talking to him in his dreamstate. This is Arthas choosing what he wants to be; the Lich King or what he was, Arthas good side was failing miserably at this. After Ner'Zhul forced Arthas to relive his entire life Arthas chose... to become the Lich King. Arthas (still in dreamstate) shoves Frostmourne through his old good side. Ner'Zhul congratulates Arthas at making the right choice, unfortunately for Ner'Zhul, Arthas puts Frostmourne through Ner'Zhul as well leaving only the evil of Arthas left behind creating an immensly powerful, evil, malevolent being behind. All of this is taken from Christie Golden's book, Rise of the Lich King. Read it, it is a superb novel.

Tirion: You will not be forgotten brother..

Lich King: .. died with him!
Now, go! Leave this place and never return!

Several hours after

<Tirion arrives to Dalaran>
Tirion: Damn, that was epic fight. I have to tell somebody about it anyway, sorry Bolvar.
<Tirion tells all the story to Rhonin>
Rhonin: Oh man, that was indeed epic. I'll let everyone know what happened in Icecrown Citadel. Let's build an enormous statue in the center of Dalaran!

Soo, this guy stole a LOT of stuff

Kommentar von Shadock

Think about it - we're just sidekicks in Lore. Akama, Maiev and a group of adventurer's downed Illidan. Agents of The Shattered Sun Offensive banished Kil'Jaedan. The Argent Dawn and then The Argent Crusade invaded Naxx, and Brann Bronzebeard's recruits with Kirin Tor assistance explored Ulduar. Here, Tirion and Darion Mograine lead the Ashen Verdict into Icecrown.

This is actually one way Blizzard sticks to the Warcraft style. The only difference is, there you played the main heroes / villains, here you play the lesser guys. The heroes do the main job while you "help" them. In WoW, you are actually one of those Sorceresses, Priests, Footmen or Riflemen you used to control in WC. And each time you die, someone just keeps summoning you back from the Barracks or Sanctum to form another 25 people army and go nuke the enemy hero.

PS: Edit spam for the examples

Kommentar von 200688

ok just wanted to throw this out there for all of you who are theory crafting on ner'zhul's death.

"The Lich King" (Ner'zhul) as you know enjoys torturing the souls of the countless people he has defeated like sylvanis and many others.... so would it not also mean that he would torture the soul of Arthas and since he isn't technically dead like the others he tortures his dreams would be the next best thing.

meaning ner'zhul(The LIch KIng) still lives in the armor were his soul was placed when his body was destroyed.

Kommentar von Lombra

Some trivia regarding his drops.

Credits for some of these go to contributors on the items' own pages.

Kriegsstreitkolben von Menethil - Menethil being Arthas' family name. (as I'm sure most are aware by now)

Chaosruf, Klinge der Könige von Lordaeron - Arthas' father was the king of Lordaeron, and Arthas after him (if somewhat selfproclaimed).

Königliches Szepter von Terenas II - King Terenas Menethil II was Arthas' father, killed by Arthas himself.

Halion, Stab der vergessenen Liebe - Forgotten love likely refers to Jaina Proudmoore, at one point his lover.

Valius, Hammer des Lichtbringers - Uther the Lightbringer was Arthas' mentor as a paladin, slain by Arthas not long after his initial betrayal against his father and kingdom.

Glorenzelg, die Hohe Klinge der Silbernen Hand - The Order of the Silver Hand is the original order of paladins, in which Arthas once was accepted. However, these paladins traditionally wielded warhammers, so it is hard to say to whom this could have belonged.

Troggbann, Axt des frostgeborenen Königs - Muradin Bronzebeard helped Arthas find Frostmourne, unaware of its true, wicked powers, in order to help save his kingdom from the undead scourge. Muradin was severly injured when Arthas picked up the cursed blade, and was until recently thought dead. The injury caused a memory loss. He was found by the frostborne and eventually elevated to their leader. Now back in sweet home Ironforge.
Mithrios, Bronzebarts Vermächtnis - Likely another reference to Muradin Bronzebeard.

Archus, Hohestab des Antonidas - Antonidas was the first known leader of the Kirin Tor and ruler of Dalaran. He fell in battle during the third war when Arthas and his undead scourge came to Dalaran for the Book of Medivh, an artifact he needed to summon Archimonde into Azeroth.

Blutschäumer, Kel'Thuzads Klinge der Pein - Kel'Thuzad was originally a wizard of the Kirin Tor who began practising necromancy, formed the Cult of the Damned, helped spread the undead plague across Lordaeron, was slain by the then-good Arthas, later brought back into the world as a lich with the help of the then-bad Arthas, and eventually found himself second-in-command of Arthas and the undead scourge.

Windläufers Herzsucher - Sylvanas Windrunner was slain by Arthas while making her last stand before Silvermoon, and raised as a banshee in his service. She later broke free of his will and formed the forsaken undead.
Schwurbinder, Kraft des Waldläufergenerals - Likely another reference to Sylvanas Windrunner, who was a renowned ranger-general of Quel'thalas.

Fal'inrush, Verteidiger von Quel'Thalas - Quel'thalas (the regions of the Isle of Quel'danas, Eversong Woods and the Ghostlands combined) was the home of the high elves, and was all but decimated during Arthas' unholy march on the sunwell. This weapon likely belonged to one of the elves. Maybe Sylvanas' spare weapon!

Besudelter Zweig von Nordrassil - This I'm not sure how or why he acquired. Nordrassil is the previous (it's still there, actually as you can now behold in Mount Hyjal) and original world tree, nearly destroyed by Archimonde in Warcraft 3. Arthas played a part in summoning Archimonde to Azeroth, but did not otherwise participate in the assault on the world tree.

Tel'thas, Dolch des Blutkönigs - Arthas encountered Kael'thas Sunstrider, later to be known as the Blood King (of the blood elves), at several occasions since picking up Frostmourne.

Sturmzorn, schwarze Klinge des Verräters - Illidan Stormrage, the Betrayer, was defeated (but not slain) by Arthas in the end of Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne, who was coming for the then-Lich King's aid.

Was it true they made it to where you only needed to kill Sindragosa to head to the Frozen Throne, or is it still the original plan of having to end all wings?

Kommentar von 642521

Personally, I think Blizzard could of done alot more with "The Lich King" encounter in ICC. If your going to go with the 30% buff, the only thing your worrying about in 25M is the Placement of the Defile. Valkyr's get nuked down in a matter of seconds. Phase 1 is a Burn Phase. And the Last Phase is basically kiting and nuking. But overall, an enjoyable encounter withought the buff :)

Lich King encounter speech sound files

Intro

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\LichKing\\IC_Lich King_Fin01.wav")

LK: So, the Light's vaunted justice has finally arrived. Shall I lay down Frostmourne and throw myself at your mercy, Fordring?

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\TirionFordring\\IC_Tirion_Fin01.wav")

Tirion: We'll grant you a swift death, Arthas. More than can be said for the thousands you've tortured and slain.

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\LichKing\\IC_Lich King_Fin02.wav")

LK: You will learn of that first hand. When my work is complete you will beg for mercy and I will deny you. Your anguished cries will be testament to my unbridled power.

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\TirionFordring\\IC_Tirion_Fin02.wav")

Tirion: So be it. Champions, attack!

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\LichKing\\IC_Lich King_Fin03.wav")

LK: I'll keep you alive to witness the end, Fordring. I would not want the Light's greatest champion to miss seeing this world remade in my image.

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\LichKing\\IC_Lich King_Fin04.wav")

LK: Come then, champions. Feed me your rage.

Inside the Frostmourne

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\KingTerenas\\IC_Terenas_Event01.wav")

Terenas: You have come to bring Arthas to justice? To see the Lich King destroyed?

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\KingTerenas\\IC_Terenas_Event02.wav")

Terenas: First, you must escape the Frostmourne's hold. Or be damned, as I am. Trapped within this cursed blade for all eternity.

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\KingTerenas\\IC_Terenas_Event03.wav")

Terenas: Aid me in destroying these tortured souls. Together, we will loosen Frostmourne's hold and weaken the Lich King from within.

Outro

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\LichKing\\IC_Lich King_Fin05.wav")

LK: No questions remain unanswered. No doubts linger. You truly are Azeroth's greatest champions. You overcame every challenge I laid before you. My mightiest servants have fallen before your relentless onslaught... your unbridled fury.

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\LichKing\\IC_Lich King_Fin06.wav")

LK: Is it truly righteousness, that drives you? I wonder.

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\LichKing\\IC_Lich King_Fin07.wav")

LK: You trained them well, Fordring. You delivered the greatest fighting force this world has ever known, right into my hands - exactly as I intended. You shall be rewarded for your unwitting sacrifice.

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\LichKing\\IC_Lich King_Fin08.wav")

LK: Watch now, as I raise them from the dead, to become masters of the scourge. They will shroud this world in chaos and destruction. Azeroth's fall will come at their hands, and you will be the first to die.

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\LichKing\\IC_Lich King_Fin09.wav")

LK: I delight in the irony.

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\TirionFordring\\IC_Tirion_Fin03.wav")

Tirion: Light, grant me one final blessing. Give me the strength to shatter these bonds.

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\LichKing\\IC_Lich King_Fin10.wav")

LK: Impossible!

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\TirionFordring\\IC_Tirion_Fin04.wav")

Tirion: No more Arthas! No more lives will be consumed by your hatred!

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\KingTerenas\\IC_Terenas_Event04.wav")

Terenas: Free, at last! It is over my son, this is the moment of reckoning.

Terenas: Rise up, champions of the Light!

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\TirionFordring\\IC_Tirion_Fin05.wav")

Tirion: The Lich King... must... fall!

/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\LichKing\\IC_Lich King_Fin13.wav")

kinda shocked no one has noted this yet but,

as a random insult, at 0% as Arthas falls to the ground he gives a short "NOOOO" kinda speech. . At this time he can be looted. making this the only (if not one of very few) bosses that can be looted BEFORE they "stop moving and die" :)

Even 5man Kael has a 5 min death speech after killing him, you need to wait till he falls to the ground and shuts up before looting. Not so lucky for the Lich King. Rifle his pockets before he even finishes talking!

Kommentar von 667599

As we all know, Tirion has approximately 13k health from what I can gather by targeting him at the ICC entrance, as does Darion Mograin when you target him in the Ebon Hold. LK has...what...30k in 10 man? So why doesn't Tirion and Darion find a healer and just kill him themselves?

Kommentar von Narinian

The Lich King is the master and lord of the Scourge, which he rules telepathically from the Frozen Throne atop the Icecrown Glacier.

Kil'jaeden the Deceiver created the Lich King from the spirit of the orcish shaman Ner'zhul to raise an undead army to conquer Azeroth for the Burning Legion. Initially trapped within the Frozen Throne with Frostmourne, the Lich King eventually betrayed Kil'jaeden and merged with the human Arthas Menethil. With the destruction of Frostmourne and the death of Arthas, Bolvar Fordragon took the powers of the Lich King within himself, imprisoning the master of the Scourge within the Frozen Throne once more.

Like to know some irony arthas hated the orcs and Ner'Zhul was orc , Arthas was paladin that fight the undead so , in the end he merged with orc and undead. He became all that he hated.

Yes, but you cannot kill that which has no life. But you can destroy it.

Kommentar von rzzr

Worth mentioning that with the current buffs in ICC and general it is possible to solo tank the Lich King on 10 man normal. We did this using a pally tank but would probably work for other tanks as well. Definitely worth doing on those pre reset nights when loads of people are looking for LK only pugs!

what ever the demon was named, he trapped ner'zul into the body of what he made, and then for ever called him the lich king, he was bound to make a army to take over the world of azeroth, ner'zul learned to make him whole, he needed another mind, so he made frostmourne and hid it, oddly enough, young prince arthas wanted to save azeroth and all of that stuff, found frostmourne, it sucked his soul, and he became the prince of darkness (i dont belive thats what they called him, i think they called him king) but he killed his dad (the king) and blah blah blah.... anyways, he finaly comes to the lich kings body, puts the helm on, and gets sucked into a never ending dream into he learned how to get out of it, he ended up talking to a old orc (ner'zul) and a sick kid (his humanity) and he finaly learns what was happening, hey killed the young boy (tricked by ner'zul, so his humanity is gone) and ner'zul tried to trick him into combining there minds together to make "the lich king" but arthas wanted to be the lich king all by him self so he killed ner'zul, and he finaly awoke from his dream sitting on the frozen throne, and thats when wotlk started, kind of, little bit befor it started i belive

Kommentar von PotatoKing

Wait... when there is no Lich King the undead will become mindless, or umm... masterless...?

It's been long since I've paid attention to lore and forgot much about WC3 but I slightly remember that when the Lich King loses power or control over the undead, the control of the undead goes over to the next thing that once controlled the undead... the Dreadlords (or the Burning Legion).

Remember when the Lich King was losing power back in WC3,the Dreadlords controlled some of the undead that Ner'zhul lost power to control, though they left Sylvannas alone because her hunger for vengeance against Arthas would have been useful.

The Legion having control over the demons AND the Scourge sounds more threatening and more reasonable need for a new Lich King than the undead just becoming mindless.

EDIT: And Mal'Ganis is still out there too.

Kommentar von 618470

In modern fantasy fiction, a lich is a type of undead creature. Often such a creature is the result of a transformation, as a powerful magician or king striving for eternal life uses spells or rituals to bind his intellect to his animated corpse and thereby achieve a form of immortality. Liches are often depicted as holding power over hordes of lesser undead creatures, using them as their soldiers and servants, and thus are a threat both individually and as leaders of belligerent forces.
A lich should not be confused with a zombie. While both are reanimated corpses, the difference lies in their intellect. Whereas a zombie is often depicted as mindless and/or under the control of some magician, a lich retains its independent thought and is as intelligent as a living human - and often, far more so. In some works of fiction, liches can be distinguished from other undead by their phylactery - an item of the Lich's choosing into which they imbue their soul, giving them immortality until said phylactery is destroyed.

Taken from here.

Yogg, the best fight of all time. Approached very, very distantly by the original Hogger fight.

Kommentar von Ymirjarik

Im pretty sure Ner'zhul regardless of being empowered into the armor was destroyed by Arthas, the Lich King title was thrown around alot, but essentially it's the armor ner'zhuls soul was ensconsed in, the lich king would've existed without frostmourne since it's not frostmourne that gave the king his power's, frostmourne simply imbued Arthas with Azeroth's first existence of Death Knights, as Frostmourne is 1 of many rune blades(?) (we do create Shadowmourne afterall) it's entirely possible that since obtaining the rune blade and having the "lich king" whisper into his mind that Arthas forced his own soul into the armor of the lich king, hence the dream event.

Which would state that with Artha's death the armor was sort of "sentient", probably why menethil hinted that the scourge would still ravage azeroth, but as a mindless unorganised rabble instead of being directed.

If anyone's ever read some of the Diablo books, this story line is almost a duplicate to Diablo: The Black Road, a character dies, while still in the vicinity of an undead summoner, gets res'd as an undead, but free from the casters will from outside circumstances (i.e being burnt to a crisp) and moves on to help the main heroes.

Kommentar von Ebonclad

I don't know how long this has been the case, but when we went back and killed The Lich King on 10-man Heroic mode today, someone tried to release after Fury of Frostmourne to see what would happen.

Your soul belongs to the Lich King

We killed him in a guild group tonight to finish the last achievement for the 10 man drakes, and we actually were able to kill him without him ever entering Phase 2 or 3. Basically once we pushed him to 70, he ran in the middle and people just DPS'd him (still making sure to kill the Ice Spheres and the Raging Spirits). By doing this the Lich King stays in the middle the whole time casting Relentless Winter and it's a faceroll.

The lich king heroic mode is actually just a tiny bit more challenging than the regular. on 10 man heroic, he has about 30 million Health, up from about 17 million, on 25 man heroic he has 103 million, up from 66 million. The fight is a 3 phase encounter, same as regular, 5 phases if u count the transition as 1. On phase 1, he will still summon adds, infect players with necrotic plague, AND in addition, he will summon Shadowtraps, which will kill your raiders if they stand in them, be sure your raiders understand that standing anywhere near it STILL can trigger the explosion. BEWARE. On the second phase, he will summon his Valky's along with defile, (Note that theres three Valks on 25 man) but the heroic mechanic adds more health the the valk, and at 50% they will let your member go, and spam shadowbolt till killed OR the phase ends, Defile remains the same, Gtfo, or you wipe your group. The third phase is the easiest. The first thing he will do is death grip all of your members into Frostmourne, and you will need to stack up, have your ranged kill spirits in the air, and run around to dodge bombs, (NOTE: When someone dies inside frostmourne, the LK gets 100% damage buff, this WILL wipe your raid on 25 heroic, and hurt your raid on 10 man heroic. Healers MUST heal hard during downphase time) The downphase last 45 seconds, when you enter the Throne room, be ready for defile and Spirits.

In the end, you will realise that the 1st phase is the hardest with adapting to shadowtraps, the second phase is really easy if your raid can follow the regular mechanics of the fight, and phase 3 is easy because lvl 85 healers really cant let players die from the damage aura in the downphase, unless the player stands in bombs and your Ranged let Spirits fall on your raid. Follow the mechanics and the fight will be easy as hell.

Kommentar von 109740

Easy Mode guide to H LK post-Cataclysm:

Phase 1
All melee stack on the tank, on the edge of the inner ring
All ranged stack on a marked person, further out - just inside the pillars
When there is a trap on the group, the tank/marked person moves clockwise, and calls it out on vent so the group follows. The stacking has to be tight or peoples' gonna die.
Offtank stays just ahead of them, in the area between the 2 rings, and anybody with the plague runs to them (obviously)

Transition
Melee kill the raging spirits
Ranged dps stand at max range right at the edge of the platform, and keep dpsing the Lich King, pop all cooldowns

Phase 2
Finish off any raging spirits
Stay spread out for defiles
If somebody gets picked up by val'kyr, say a quick prayer for them if you wish, and thank them for their sacrifice, keep nuking the boss

Transition
Same as previous transition, dps should use any cooldowns they may have left

Phase 3
Stay spread out, avoid defiles
Vile Spirits can be largely ignored
When everyone gets pulled into frostmourne, you simply have to survive, the best way to do this is to point your camera straight down, avoid the badness, and use any survivability cooldowns

If you're pugging this, only the tank and 1 person in the ranged group needs to talk. The only things that need to be explained to the herpa derp pugs are: stay stacked in phase 1 and run the plague to the OT, in transitions ranged dps the boss, ignore val'kyrs, run away from defile. Everything else can be called out on the fly by the person with the brain (you).

edit: Gear has now reached the stage where if you have good range DPS, you won't even see phase 2 and 3, the melee and healers might just have to step off the part that breaks away and it'll come back up pretty quick for the second transition.

Kommentar von 748292

@Onado

Actually, according to the events in Arthas: Rise of the Lich King, almost the exact opposite is true. After the events of WCIII and preceding the story line of Wotlk, Arthas Menethil exclusively became "The Lich King."

(As quoted from WoWpedia)

"While the Lich King dreamt, the various personas in his mind - the death knight Arthas Menethil, the orc shaman Ner'zhul, and Matthias Lehner, the personification of the remnants Arthas' humanity - fought for influence and control over the entity.

Matthias tried to reason with Arthas, but Arthas silenced him by running him through with Frostmourne. Ner'zhul was delighted by this, declaring that he and Arthas were now free to merge into a single glorious being. Arthas rejected this offer, stating that once he had the power of the Lich King, no one would tell him what to do again. He impaled the stunned Ner'zhul with Frostmourne, becoming the dominant personality of the Lich King and ending the dream."

P.S: Don't know why I'm being downrated. It might not be what you want to hear, but that's what the lore says.

The reason as to why ppl die on this fight is the transitions really and the orbs. So usually that is the reason so if you perfect it, YAY! GZ ON LICH KING!

Kommentar von Ravenhair

Why. Won't. This. Guy. Die? He refuses to die every damn time I'm on the run. >.< I'm not a bad player, pretty average, but a good healer nonetheless. So why won't you die? D: I swear my guild has done this 5 times, all halfly pugged and two of those runs they have killed him. And those two times also happened to be the times when I wasn't there.

Anyways, the plague and the orbs are going to be the main problem in this. If you get it, the fight is pretty much a kill already.

Can be done with 5-6 people. And can also be solo'd, both Mione and Raegwyn have done it.

Kommentar von Syluxx

I wonder...
Would it be possible to DPS LK during the first transition phase?... Lets say 10man, you have one tank, 3 healers, 6 competent DPS. With resist aura/totem, Remorseless Winter ticks 5800 per second. That's nothing that 2-3 healers can't heal. It's like, 25seconds to die to that from 100% hp without any heals..?

LK has 18mil hp, and first phase changes at 70%. Second phase changes at 40%. That's 30% you'd have to dps down - around 5mil hp. That's 800k damage that each DPS has to do. Now, they have the 30% buff aswell, I'm not that good at maths so feel free to correct me but roughly we can take around 25% off the required damage.. Making the damage a DPS needs to do 600k.

The trans phase lasts around 40-50 seconds, so even if the DPS do 12-13k dps (A T12 content geared person can easily do 40k+ with BL+personal cooldowns), you'd get LK 40% before the transition ends.

But what I'm wondering, is what happens if you get LK below 40% during the first trans phase?
Does he bug out and disappear or something?
Does he stack another transition phase on top on the existing one?
Does he start another transition phase after the first one?

But, if everyone stacks and you got a group with 75k DPS + decent healing, you could potentially skip everything after first phase.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on something, and if you try this PLEASE tell how it went.

This could be good for, say PuG groups trying to do achievements. All that they have to do, if you do both LK achievements, is to stay at a single spot, run diseases til 30 stacks, then just stand still and DPS LK till' he dies.

Spirits have 250k hp, they wont be an issue, just cleave them down.

Opinions? Myself, I'm going to try this once I've got all the ICC achievements and have some free time.

Kommentar von matiasvidal

It's actually this way, if you build the lore and use it well:

Ner'zhul's spirit was bound into an armor set, particularly a Helm (Of Damnation). That said, Ner'zhul had to share the Power when the armor got a Physical body (Arthas). So Arthas was inside his own body connected to the Helm of Damnation, where Ner'zhul lurks. Arthas was able to shut Ner'zhul and rule over the body and armor, even the Sipirts held within Frostmourne. However, when Frostmourne shatters, all the spirits retake their power and purge Arthas, strip him of the souls he had taken, including his own, which returned to the Body - Arthas'. Do not confuse body with Armor/Helm of Damnation, while Arthas was the body and the ruling power, the real Lich King is and will always be Ner'zhul, the Helm of Damnation itself, the armor. When the Lich King was defeated, Arthas was the one who was defeated, not Ner'zhul, not the scourge, not the Lich King, Arthas. Just Arthas, who was killed in the process (Since he was the body, the Body was killed, and The Lich King's power returned to the Helm, though it's unknown if the Power's return awakened Ner'Zhul or if the power is held within the Helm without apparent use.) When Arthas died and the souls escaped, his own soul came back to his body, regaining control and sparing his final moments with his fathers' soul. Soon, the body died, and the spirit died too, ascended to heaven, or hell, or whatever spirit world there is. However, the Power was held within the Helm the whole time, Ner'zhul is the only owner of the power, Arthas was just using it. As the mindless scourge needed a Leader to withdraw and control their hunger, Bolvar took the Helm, thus taking Ner'zhul's power for himself, becoming a second body for the Helm - A second Arthas. He started talking to Tirion and, as he speaks, his voice changes to resemble that of Arthas when he had the Helm of Damnation. That said, we can guess that that's just the voice of whoever wears the Helm of Damnation, or whoever has the power of the Helm - Ner'zhul's power, OR that that Voice is actually Ner'zhul's (The Lich King) voice merging with the Body of the Armour. If we go with the first choice, it's impossible to know if Ner'zhul's still sleeping or just standing by, watching, letting the power cause destruction, or wether if he's still asleep. If we go for the second one, that means that Ner'zhul still sleeps inside the Armour and that the power is there for any body that took the Helm of Damnation (Bolvar) thus meaning that Bolvar has the control over the Lick King's powers and the Scourge itself. However, if we go for the third one, that means that Ner'zhul was never defeated, that Arthas never took the power of the Helm, that it was Ner'zhul letting Arthas use them, that it was Ner'zhul who was talking to Tirion. And, in the end, that would mean that The Lich King is far from over. Maybe Ner'zhul knew Arthas would die soon, or maybe he sits back and watches the show of his powers and the bodies that take them, or maybe we have to go by the other two choices.

Hope that clears out the confusion.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##

What happened to the articles? I used to rely on them for all my raids and now I don't see them anymore. Where can I look up the strats now? I only watch the videos after I've read the article first then attempt the boss since the articles cover much more than the videos ever could and the videos are a lot more confusing, at first anyway.

Last couple of weeks farming this on 25 man heroic . Helping friend to get shards for Shadowmourne.
Don't except One Shot, might take a while for puggers to remind / see what's going on.
For heroic mode :
P1-stack in 3 groups : a) Healers & range ( its beter to have more range than melee dps )
b) Add tank (Position him inbetween range & melee group )
c) Boss tank & melees
- for range & melee group mark someone who knows how to deal with Shadow traps and rest from that group folow him ; diseased people run to Add Tank
-use Bloodlust on pull cause you want this phase to end a.s.a.p.

Transition - Spread on the edge
- Range dps boss & KILL FROZEN ORBS fast
- Melees focus on Raging Spirits
- At end, before running to middle, make sure all frozen orbs are destroyed

P2-all stack in middle, get the angels under 40-50 % and continue dpsing boss.
-spread out for Defile ( almost killed us this last week )

Transition - Spread on the edge
- Range dps boss & KILL FROZEN ORBS fast
- Melees focus on Raging Spirits
- At end, before running to middle, make sure all frozen orbs are destroyed
P3-Burn boss untill you get underground
-while down there , mark some1 who knows how to run and let rest of raid folow him
-let range dps kill ghosts flying in air, after this is over SPREAD OUT RIGHT AFTER YOU GET OUT cause you'll get fresh defile
- ignore ghosts when you come outside and nuke boss
-boss should be dead before ghosts start flying down and you'll get extra achivment.

Good luck and have fun :)

Fury of Frostmourne does 1,000,000 damage, going to be great next xpac when we stack cooldowns and can survive it and The lich king making his "victory speech" as he claims our souls (which arent dead) when we kill him. Then Tirion breaks the ice bonds and valiantly turns around and see's the lich king dead on the floor and says "Oh, good job team I'll go get my statue in Dalaran for this now" an smiles and walks off

When a Val'kyr grabs a player and the rest don't kill her before she flies over the edge with the helpless one, a sudden death by falling does not have to happen. A quick witted priest can target the unlucky sod and pull him back to safety with "Leap of Faith" as he is dropped. Perfect timing and a steady nerve is necessary to pull that off. The player, then has the chance to continue the good fight. Of course, there is so much going on that no one notices.<sigh>

Kommentar von maggisvans

for those of u saying tirion did nothing that fight,like said before the health bar on the bosses doesnt mean that if u get them to 0 on the health bar they die its just the time until the event ends like the illidan fight where u get him low enough for maiev to finish him,the algalon fight where u get him low enough to realize that this world is worth saving OR the lich king fight where u get him low enough for tirion to shatter frostmourne had he not done that then u probably whould've never killed him

all fight description is on youtube

Kommentar von 93783

Not soloable by warriors if anyone thought maybe they could do it, might be possible if one was skilled enough but at least impossible for me. Death Knights, being the OP soloers they are gave me hope to try it as prot warrior in fury gear +shield/sword and I forgot about the tanking mechanic. Infest is only removed at 90% hp so unless any and ALL damage is mitigated, the moment you go below 90% signals the beginning of the downward spiral of damage that is inescapable. Shield barrier is enough to take care of most of the damage and I was able to get to the transition phase with it, but as soon as vengeful spirits and the dance over to a safe spot + the frozen orbs appeared, it was over for me. as soon as LK re-engaged, he infested and it was over.
Time to level a blood DK to get that title..

Kommentar von silverhazed

Solo'd prot pally ilvl 484. Used focused shield glyph and just battered him till transition then nuked adds then back to lk. Was able to solo all of ICC except Blood-Queen Lana'thel - couldn't nuke her fast enuff before being turned to vampire, so enlisted help of a lock to help me down her.

Kommentar von TdarKoNe

I know it's been soloed many times (hell it was soloed long before MoP) but here's how we did him in a duo with a more simple and in-depth explanation.

EDIT: Full video of Heroic 10 man version on youtube: http://youtu.be/7LaXnb5N_vU
Full video on youtube of our fight http://youtu.be/PsypmPmZYy8

Our 2 man team for this fight was an ilvl 449 Brewmaster Monk (just hit 90 in almost all Contender gear) and an ilvl 462 Elemental Shaman.

Phase 1: When you first engage The Lich King he will summon adds periodically consisting of 3 ghouls and 1 shambling horror, the ghouls die fairly quick while the horrors take a little bit longer. We basically just took them out by using AOE abilities like Keg smash/Breath of fire and chain lightning while still focusing on TLK.

He will also cast Infest, while will deal damage over time unless you get healed above 90%, so it's easiest to just try and keep yourself at full health as much as you can.

He also uses an ability called Necrotic Plague, which is a DoT that stacks up and jumps either when the target dies or it is cleansed - we didn't really notice this ability affecting us but if you see it pop up on yourself make sure you get it cleansed if you have the ability to.

Phase transition: at 70% and 40% HP TLK does a "transition" phase where he runs to the middle of the platform and starts using a number of new abilities. He will run to the middle of the platform, cast Relentless Winter, and start casting Pain and Suffering very frequently, along with summoning frozen bombs that will throw you (possibly off the edge) if they reach you. You will want to get as far away from him as you can so you can kill the bombs before they reach you and minimize the damage TLK does to you.

At the end he will cast Quake, destroying the outer ring of the platform, naturally you should move to the middle when he starts casting this.

He will also summon Raging Spirit copies of your characters - make sure whoever IS NOT tanking TLK aggro's one and holds on to it, while the rest should be killed, which I'll explain why in...

Phase 2: TLK will continue using Infest, but instead of Shambling Horrors and Ghouls, he will now summon a Val'kyr Shadowguard which will try and pick up people and drop them off the ledge - HOWEVER - they will NOT pick up anyone who has aggro on something, hence why you should have saved a Raging spirit from the transition phase. If you didn't then you'll have to try and burst them down as soon as they pick up the other player.

He will also cast an ability named Defile, which appears on the ground and deals damage, growing larger any time it does deal damage, so get out of it as soon as possible.

At 40% there will be another transition phase, identical to the first.

After this there was supposed to be a phase in which someone gets transported into Frostmourne, we however killed him so fast they he didn't have time to do this. At 10% he will cast Fury of Frostmourne killing everyone (unless you can a cheat death type ability to escape it maybe) at which time you have to watch a long RP sequence. at this point you've won the fight, once Terenas resurrects everyone TLK will be floating essentially stunned and you merely have to finish him off!

Kommentar von Elreon

Lich 25hm by 2 monks. It appears this is not so easy, given that it was difficult to keep within 15 minutes enrage timer, since the health Monk dd to 10%. And as a tank + healer damage was not enough.dd+healer. Monk dd sometimes plunge to 90% health in a tank damage is not enough.

Next time we'll try as 2 brewmasters.

I beat it solo as an enhance shaman today, http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/uldaman/Duronimo/simple

Simply fought it the standard way, use all cooldowns at the start to get out of phase 1 fast. I got to the outer ring in phase 2 with a few adds still alive but wasn't a problem at all. Saved earth shock to take out the ice spheres. You have to pay attention for defile and just run out. You want to stay at or near max health so infest doesn't affect you too much.

Kommentar von neopatra

Apparantly when lich king kills all the raid near the end of the fight, you CAN stay alive.
we had a tank this week with about 1 milion hp that survived it, and continued to dps boss during the cut scena.

he stopped the dps though before lich king died from it, because we were afraid that it would bug and we won't get loot.

Edit:
well, that was long ago. but since last patch many classes with good gear can survive it.
Just use survival cd's right before 10% of the boss. destro lock, for example, can use Dark Bargain + Unending Resolve + Shadow Bulwark (my lock is good geared and can do that with only 1 of the cd's... at this point I usually kill the last remaining add and start to dance with the boss :P).

you can't kill lich king when u stay alive though, he will remain in 1 hp. till end of cut scene.
also in the past it used to bug somtimes if we continue dps at this point before raid resurrection, I don't know if it can still happen.

Kommentar von Lazel

Apparently, the roleplay is bugged at %10 if you have Shambling Horror(s) up at that time.The roleplay doesn't start and you are forced to Release Spirit.But when you come back to the instance, the boss is still there and when you kill the remaining Shambling Horror(s) the roleplay starts and you can kill the boss.

Here's a little tip to anyone farming Invincible: if you're quick enough, you can melee the ice spheres in the phase transitions. I'm able to oneshot them with Death Strike/Rune Strike, and I can say it makes the fight so much easier. You never have to worry about being silenced at an inopportune moment. Just be quick to hit them, and go back to DPSing the Lich King.

enhance shaman 25m hc.
i'm getting close on soloing this,
http://imgur.com/Q1i9k6R
Main trouble I'm having is T1, getting there with only 2 shamblings is a stretch and even then, getting the raging spirits down fast enough while novaing and chaining the 2 shamblers.
T2 is not as hard, but trouble comes again when getting the spirits down fast enough. Best attempt on that link, 17% with death to enrage. I did stay on the stairs every transition. Another good attempt was at around 36% when i just messed up myself everything. I'd say it is doable now, but needs a bit of luck and gear.
Myself i'm at 530ilv, with 2normal Wu-lais upgraded 2/2, bad juju normal 2/2, renataki hc 2/2.
Using SBT, CoE, EM, Cond, PE with Flame shock (mandatory, it does quite hefty healing for P1), Lightning shield & Healing storm glyphs.
Most of the random deaths come from Infest or Silenced.

EDIT:
after a few hours of trying it is indeed doable by enhance solo.
http://i.imgur.com/r7RXVsD.jpg
what i did:
flask, food (had only 300str but meh), pots
P1
At start, go all out but don't go chain lightning on the adds. You pretty much need to get go T1 with only 2 shamblers. Fire nova from the adds also helps if everything is on cd. Just make your top priority towards LK.
T1
Go atop the stairs, and start slapping the spirit once it comes. Capacitor totem works wonders on Shamblers when they enrage. Position yourself so as the adds are near the throne, while you are "under" them. Well, few steps towards LK. This way the ice orbs shouldnt kick you around. Try aiming so that only one spirit is up after T1, preferably low hp. Use cds when they come up.
P2
Finish off the spirit, then the shamblers (they should be around 50% from nova/chains from the T1. Beware when they enrage and remember to throw HR right before P2, so that infest doesnt kill you if the spirit silences you. Remember to keep yourself near max at all times during P1&2 for Infest. That killed me so many times when it came at a bad time. P2 is not hard once adds are down.
T2
At T2 I did a bit of dmg to LK while he was in the middle until the first orb spawned and then i ran to the stairs. There just kill the spirits. You should aim at 2 spirits left or less, using cds freely. This one is cheesecake compared to T1.
P3
Here you get ported immediately to mourne, just throw HST, HR and searing totem. ST is keeping the spirits in order quite nicely while HR and HST keeps you alive. When there's 2-4s left on timers to get back to LK, pop SBT and Sham rage in case of spirits silencing you immediately. I think I went after LK at this point, keeping myself alive and popping whatever comes from cd. After second mourne phase, I focused on spirits (you could do this on first time, I was just worried about enrage timer). After 3rd mourne I had lust up again and popped all I had and hoped that I would kill him in time.

Today i've decided to try and solo him on 25 hc as a hunter , didn't take me long after about 7 or 8 tries i've managed to down him but that's not the reason im writing this.

I wanted to mess around and i've deterrenced the fury of frostmourne and got him down to 1 hp , i've decided to wait for terenas to actually cast out the ress before i take him down , right after he casted the ress i've waited for maybe 1 or 2 seconds and started the attack but maybe half a second or so before me TIRION aka the ninja hit him before me , i believe because tirion got the killing blow i was not able to loot the boss at ALL. i've made a ticket for this but so far no reply from the GMs.

For future reference just die on fury and wait for the guy to ress you before attempting stupid &*!@ like i did, GL!

EDIT:(GM reply )

I have had a look into this for you, but sadly I can't find any record of the event playing out and the lich king being killed :(

As such I can't award out loot as the system never made any for the kill.

Kommentar von 1069355

Just a little tip for solo'ers out there, might not be something big because of the existence of Trommeln der Vergessenen Könige, but if you go to Mount Hyjal and you accept the quest Die Verteidiger des Hyjal and you go to Sethria's Roost, the npc that spawns there will cast Mal der Wildnis on you.

The buff will stay if you enter any raid, so why not get 5% instead of 4% ! Happy farming and good luck to all.

Kommentar von Qoko

The Lich King on 25hc is soloable by rogues. I did it as 563 Combat, but a lower ilvl (though not much) might just work as well. I killed him as Assassination as well.

There are a few videos on how rogues do this, but I wanted to share my strategies and pointers per phase, similar to how I have done this before for Kael'thas at 85. Although spells used are specific for rogues, similar defensive abilities and strategies may work for other classes as well. Consider your options for dealing with the core problems: Infest, Shadow Trap, Enrage, the Shamblings, Soul Reaper and Vile Spirits.

Preparation

Spec & glyphs: here
Poison: Deadly/Leeching
ICC buff, flask, drums, (potions, food)
Any version of Garantierte Konsequenzen is very useful for more defensives.
Activate only the Schattenfalle and Entweihen DBM countdown, otherwise they become confusing.

Phase 1: 100%-70%

I suggest against fighting on the throne, I find the anti-trap position unreliable.
When the battle starts pop Entrinnen and all offensive cooldowns.
Get Zerhäckseln & * up asap, and neither should drop.
Start to Klingenwirbel as the Ghulsklave appear.
When the Torkelnder Schrecken spawns, focus him whilst cleaving the LK.
The Wutanfall can be Tückische Klinge'd
Remember to backtrack out of Schattenfalles and circle the battle area.
If you do drop below 90% before Befallen only Mantel der Schatten can save you.
Before the second Shambling spawns you should reach 70%.

Intermission 1

Go to the middle with the LK, cleave down Spirits and Ice Spheres.
With decent dps you can skip phase two almost entirely.*

Phase 2: 70%-40%

Neutralize Seelenernter's buff with Entrinnen and/or Kampfbereitschaft.
Move out of Entweihen, try to avoid it hitting the middle.
Again keep Mantel der Schatten for an emergency on Befallen.

Intermission 2

If the LK chains intermissions, beware of Infest casts.
With decent dps you can nuke him to 10% before phase 3.

Phase 3: 40%-10%

When the Widerwärtiger Geists start moving, use Mantel der Schatten.
After Seele ernten stay on the move inside Frostmourne, avoiding most damage.Infest is gone, so is your largest threat.

Phase 4: 10%-0%

Frostgrams Furor is now easily survivable.
Dps him down.
Probably don't get Unbesiegbars Zügel
Repeat it next week. And the week thereafter. For the next year.

If there are any clear abilities or tweaks I have missed, be my guest to shape it up by replying. Good luck soloing.

*6.0 update: if anything, the LK has become much easier to solo due to incoming damage being much lower. It's perfectly possible to keep dpsing the LK during intermission with Blade Flurry up. With 570+ you should be able to chain intermissions and get him to 10% before you even see phase two or three. I kept the strategies for those phases in there for convenience sake. The use of Recuperate is now at best a failsafe, but hardly required.

Kommentar von 136075

Soloed LK 25 heroic a couple of times as a 556 feral druid.

I gave Guardian a few tries but due to the DPS loss I stuck with Feral.

I'd rate the fight as abit troublesome though if you get p1 and the transition to p2 right it's a kill.

Boss abilities;
Necrotic Plague sometimes is an issue if you start ignoring adds, however for the most part it's not something you need to think about.

Shadowtraps is obvious - dont stand in them.

However the real problem is Infest..
Ysera's Gift helps alot, aswell as making sure you save Predators Swiftness procs for around the time Infest is cast.
This is the main thing you need to pay attention to, you need to heal yourself to 90%< HP or this will wipe you, fast.

I reccomend getting the 4set bonus for this fight as it'll allow you to pretty much force 2 x Predators Swiftness in a row.

As for overall strategy;
Pop CD's and nuke LK as much as possible while aoeing down adds from the start.

When Shambling Horrors spawn switch to them (NB; DBM wont warn you about shadow traps when you swich targets)

When they enrage use Typhoon to get some distance and kite or you'll take too much dmg and end up with too low health for when Infest comes.

I'm no tank I couldn't stack at the stairs and just nuke as I'd take too much dmg so I kited LK & Co around the room.

This takes some practice but you'll want LK to hit 70% when the Shambling Horror is at 50% or less.

At that point run to stairs; Nuke Shambling Horror asap, then focus down the Raging Spirits.

After that it's pretty much a kill unless you %^&* up on the Ice Spheres, Defile or Vile Spirits.

LK wont out dps your selfhealing, nor will the raging spirits. On harvest soul Ysera's Gift will keep you nice and topped off, just make sure to use Survival Instincts when Vile Spirits come just incase, however 1 swipe will pretty much kill them all.

I didn't use food, flask, prepot or drums as my ilvl is quite "high" for this.
In addition I specced Incantation despite Soul of the Forest being vastly better for this fight so I suspect this is totally doable on lower ilvl's although I haven't tried.

TL;DR - p1 and transition to p2 are the most challenging parts.

Kite LK around to avoid shadow traps, nuke small adds and Shambling Horrors asap and stay away when they enrage. Keep Predators Swiftness Procs for Infest.
Max 1 Shambling Horror at <50% hp when LK hits 70% and transitions and it's a kill.

*EDIT*

Decided to make a video of how I do it now;

www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzOD65p_GzU

As you can see I Berserk the 1st Shambling Horror then Bloodlust the 2nd, it's not neccicary to bloodlust but it makes the kill very clean as you can see.

Enjoy

EDIT3: 42 kills and the mount is mine!
The 6.0.2 patch made a lot of this data obsolete unfortunately. I'll leave it here for nostalgic purposes.

Soloed Der Lichkönig on 25 Man Heroic for Unbesiegbars Zügel (Unbesiegbars Zügel) as a 539 BM Hunter with no legendary cloak. I tried with survival for good AoE to get the adds down, but I've found that the adds aren't even a problem unless you let them stack up without killing them.

Preparation: I used a Tenacity specced spirit beast, the extra Geistheilung was needed greatly, especially in my gear. I HIGHLY recommend speccing into . Agility food(Satt), Trommeln der Vergessenen Könige, and Runenschriftrolle der Seelenstärke III isn't a must but certainly helps. A core hound pre-cast Uralte Hysterie couldn't hurt either. and are BOTH required. I also had , I wouldn't say it's required, but it HIGHLY recommended. He is able to be taunted after enrage if you don't have the DPS to beat enrage timer, but this is NOT recommended and is extremely hard, it is much better for you to wait until you have the gear/skill to beat enrage, which I'd say is about 525 ilvl.

Phase 1:(100%-70%): Arguably the hardest phase, have your pet tank Der Lichkönig and adds on the edge of the platform. As usual, avoid Schattenfalle of course, and try to avoid getting aggro from adds so you can stay topped. The part that makes this phase hard, is the Befallen. When he casts Nekrotische Seuche on you, you must heal through it, but at that time you are unavoidably under 90%, and if you get hit by an infest while under 90% health, you may as well use Ra'shas Opferdolch or die, because it's basically a wipe. The trick to avoiding the Infests are the pillars, as the Infests can be Line of sighted. Whenever he casts Nekrotische Seuche, it's almost certain he'll cast Befallen right afterwards, so periodically get out of line of sight using the pillars in the room before Infest finishes casting, and it will be avoided, and you can continue DPSing while still avoiding Schattenfalle. Unfortunately, the Nekrotische Seuche cannot be Line of sighted. If you accidentally allow an Infest to hit you, you can use a Meisterlicher Heiltrank quickly to get above 90% and that will work as well! (however you can only do this one time through the fight). Once he hits, 70%, he will push into phase 2, and you most likely will still have adds up.

Phase 2:(70%): Stay at the edge of the platform to avoid Unbarmherziger Winter, you need to be at 90% or greater for next phase., don't worry about Lich king, just work on getting Torkelnder Schrecken and Ghulsklave down. You may kill the Tobender Geist, however you WILL want to leave a few up during phase 3, as you need them in order to avoid the Schattenwächterin der Val'kyr. Kill the Eissphäre ASAP, if you don't they will knock you back if you allow them to get to you. Phase 2 will end after about a minute. Note: The Tobender Geist have an ability called Seelenkreischen which is a silence, so it can prevent you from using Tötungsbefehl and Tier heilen, but that shouldn't really be any problem.

Phase 3:(69%-40%): Make sure you are topped off in health for phase 3, as he continues to cast Befallen during this phase, and there are no pillars to avoid them from. He doesn't cast Nekrotische Seuche in this phase anymore, so as long as you get out of Entweihen ASAP and don't get aggro from extra Tobender Geists and/or Lich king himself, you should be fine. You WILL want to use Ablenkender Schuss every minute on a Tobender Geist, as it will mark you as tank and the Schattenwächterin der Val'kyr in return will not pick you up. DPS the Lich king down to 40%. Remember: At any time if he casts infest on you and you are under 90% health, it's a wipe.

Phase 4:(40%): Once he is down to 40%, he will no longer cast Befallen, so it is safe to stand in the Unbarmherziger Winter and DPS the Lich King all you want. Don't get too greedy and die to the AoE though. He will spawn more Raging spirits, these don't really need to be killed and most likely just die to Raubtierhiebe over time anyways, just DPS lich king and kill Eissphäre ASAP just like in phase 2. If you start losing a lot of health, go to the outer edge to get out of the Remorseless winter, and wait it out with Spirit Bond and Spirit beast heal, better to be safe than sorry. Phase 5 will start after about a minute.

Phase 5:(39%-10%): Don't worry about being topped off or using distracting shot on raging spirits, he will no longer cast Infest or spawn Valk'yr in this Phase. As long as you have the DPS to beat enrage timer, getting to this phase means you've basically already won. There are still a few drawbacks and things that may still wipe you however; As usual, get out defile ASAP, and once in a while he'll use an ability called Seelen ernten, which will pull you into Frostgram with Terenas Menethil. You are stuck inside Frostmourne for 40 seconds, after which Terenas will pull you out. This is mostly just a hinder to DPS and will not wipe you, just be sure to kill the Boshafter Geist inside if they start running for you. Once you are out of Frostmourne, The Lich King will spawn Widerwärtiger Geist and these you may mostly ignore, you will most likely be topped anyways due to Spirit Bond and Spirit beast heal anyways. He will most likely pull you into Frostmourne 2-3 times, once you get out its best to use CDs and DPS him as much as possible before he casts it again. Once he reaches 10% you've won.

Phase 6:(10%-0%): At 10% he casts Frostgrams Furor, killing you (you may not be killed if you use Abschreckung). Role-play will commence, after it is over, just DPS him down. No further explanation needed. Once he's dead, collect loot for your 1-2% chance at Unbesiegbars Zügel, cry that it didn't drop, enjoy the cinematic, and do it all again next week.

EXTRA: Being epic and surviving Frostgrams Furor: I've played around with surviving this attack and can say that if you have over 1 million health, you'll survive (usually only if you have full SoO heroic gear) or if you have over 700k health, you CAN survive it if you use Abschreckung, as this reduces damage taken by 30%, and the attack does 1,000,000, you will only take 700k, thus surviving the attack (Probably need about 540 iLvl to have over 700k health with the buff (Alliance:Wrynns Stärke Horde:Höllschreis Kriegshymne).

Good luck to all the other Hunter Soloers looking to solo the Lich King on 25M Heroic for Unbesiegbars Zügel, and I hope this comment helped you!

Feel free to ask me any questions in-game if you are having trouble, or have any questions about this fight, or any others in the instance, I currently have the entire Die Eiskronenzitadelle instance on solofarm (Solo all bosses on 10N, then go out and switch to 25H for Lich King) every week until I get Unbesiegbars Zügel :P

Kommentar von Everliving14

Just to illustrate the power of current heroic gear, here's an image of this fight being soloed on 25H difficulty in ~4.5 minutes (or about 2-3 times as much DPS as a full raid of 25 level 80s in full ICC 25H gear).

Kommentar von Paulosio

If for some reason you don't get the res from Terenas Menethil don't worry.

I tabbed out during the roleplay after you get killed by fury of frostmourne. When I tabbed back about 3 mins later I didn't have any option to accept a res.

I released and thought i'd have to do the whole fight again but when I ran back into the instance and upto the frozen throne the fight hadn't reset. Terenas was still hitting Arthas and I just had to finish off the last 9-10% as is usual. I still got loot (although the mount didn't drop).

Kommentar von 666014

The key to eating Schattenfalle and Eissphäre is not to position yourself on the throne, but at the very base of the stairs. Go to where the stairs meet the floor and face the center of the platform. Back yourself up until your character's feet are off the ground. From this position, as long as you face directly away from the throne, you will not get knocked off the platform.

Any point on the stairs is safe for this purpose. Starting at the base gives you maximum room to back up in order to keep the Torkelnder Schreckens in front of you.

I haven't seen too much on soloing the LK lately. But I just downed him solo on 10man normal. Kitty druid, ilevel 546.

Save you're CDs for phase 2, pwn his face off and don't get hit by the spheres. It was surprisingly easy, but you really must keep your eyes on the spheres. I kited them away from him and then used Wild charge to get back to the LK, rinse and repeat.

Kommentar von Molaca

If there are any adds up (I had a Shambling Horror still alive) when the Lich King kills you, Tirion won't break his ice prison and save/ress you.

When this happened I simply clicked release spirit and ran back to the instance, where the Lich King was still channeling his ability. Once I killed the add the scripted event continued and I killed the boss.

Kommentar von maely

Just soloed Hc LK25 as a Disc. You must deal 93m dmg to Arthas before he enrages (15min). I pulled it off at i577, with some deliberate preparation:

GEAR:
I use an i588 staff, i616 dps cloak, i582 Sha trinket, i567 Siegecrafter trinket, mana meta gem, and 2pc set bonus (+10% Crit during AA). Mana wasn't really an issue.

For dps, switched my reforges/gems to Haste>Crit. I valued Haste for a few reasons: extra cloak procs, extra Mindbender hits, extra glyphed Smites+Penance cooldown reduction, and Haste converts more efficiently to 1% than Crit (425 vs 600).

PREPARATION:
1.) I grabbed Int flasks/pots/food, Drums of Rage, and Healthstones (from an LFR).
2.) I waited for Shan'ze Dao dailies at Shado-Pan and grabbed an Int/Crit buff from the mage NPC. This NPC buff sticks when you zone into ICC, unlike a mage player's buff. If you hold a Shan'ze Dao daily in your quest log, this buff will always be available.
3.) I ported to Hyjal for a Stats buff from the druid NPC on the Protectors of Hyjal daily.

Thus, my stats were: 60,420 spellpower, 37.3% haste, 37.6% crit, 27.3% mast, 9960 spr

TALENTS/GLYPHS:
1.) Angelic Feather, hope you're comfortable with a keybind for this
2.) Mindbender, major dps cooldown
3.) Twist of Fate, massive uptime
4.) Divine Star, to fish for ToF procs and target Ice Spheres that get close
5.) Glyph of Penance, duh
6.) Glyph of Smite, respectable dps boost assuming Haste
7.) Glyph of Reflective Shield, minor dps boost and passive ToF procs
8.) Glyph of Sha, removes gcd from Mindbender

PRE-FIGHT:
1.) Start the fight dialogue, then move to the bottom of the stairs so that your feet are OFF the ground. Thus, the Shadow Traps will NOT knock you back, but they WILL interrupt your casts.
2.) As Tirion says "So be it," remove all your gear then immediately re-equip (to start with ToF). Prepot. Drums of Rage. (Use macros+equip sets to simplify this.)
3.) You might PW:S for the BT proc; you're at ~15% health anyway.

PHASE 1:
1.) Mindbender, Penance, Holy Fire, SmiteSmiteSmite. Archangel. With +10% Crit and Drums+prepot+ToF+trinkets, you should be smashing his face in.
2.) Don't move from this spot until 70%.
3.) Ignore the adds but start firing Divine Star on cooldown and/or as needed to extend ToF uptime. PW:S yourself as needed (e.g., during Lucidity procs).

KITE PHASE #1, AT 70%:
1.) He runs out-of-range to the middle. Run over and Smite him a bit, but reserve Penance/Holy Fire for...
2.) ...the first Raging Spirit to spawn. Forget about Arthas, and kill these things ASAP. This is the make-or-break element of the fight (other than the enrage timer). He spawns 3 of these ~20sec apart, and they cast a frontal cone-silence that screws you for 5sec. Do NOT get hit by it.
3.) Until the Raging Spirits die, run around the edge of the arena with Feathers, kiting out-of-range of the Raging Spirits' silences. They cast it once every ~10sec; if you successfully avoid one, you might sneak in a few Smites before resuming the kite, but in general you should be running because Ice Spheres are chasing you anyway. (If Ice Spheres get close, a Divine Star can kill them all. Otherwise, focus on Raging Spirits.)
4.) Ideally, you'll kill the 1st Raging Spirit as the 2nd one spawns. If multiple are up, you need to be running at ALL times, and this is a dps loss to be sure. Use Penance, Holy Fire, SW:P, SW:D, Mindbender, etc. while running.
5.) If you get in trouble while silenced, try hitting an item (e.g., Healthstone/Rocket Boots).
6.) If you have trouble finding Raging Spirits among the mass of adds, you may want a /tar macro.

PHASE 2:
1.) With the last Raging Spirit dead, resume dps on Arthas. No more Shadow Traps, no Valkyrs, just Defile.
2.) There are probably still 3 Shambling Horrors up. That's fine; you can use them for ToF procs.
3.) They periodically Enrage, and below 20% health they gain a second buff called Frenzy. You get hit hard here, so be careful. You may want to blow your defensive cooldowns, kite a bit with Feathers, and/or drop SW:P/SW:D on them when they are low (also for ToF procs).
4.) Mostly though, focus on Arthas.

KITE PHASE #2, AT 40%:
1.) Same as before but with fewer adds up. However, Arthas spawns 4 Raging Spirits instead of 3. Again, this is make-or-break. Ignore Arthas, kite the Raging Spirits/Ice Spheres, and kill the Raging Spirits ASAP.
2.) Arthas pulls you into Frostmourne at some point. probably with 1-2 Raging Spirits still up.
3.) While inside Frostmourne, use Hymn of Hope if needed, run around with Feathers to avoid the ghosts, and wait it out. Shield yourself if needed, but try NOT to trigger a trinket proc here. The dps race is getting intense at this point.
4.) When you port out of Frostmourne the 1st time, resume the kite until the Raging Spirits die. Then, resume dps on Arthas. You may notice that any remaining Ice Spheres have gotten "stuck" in the middle of the arena. That's fine; just avoid and/or Divine Star them.
5.) After ~60sec, Arthas pulls you into Frostmourne again. Watch his channels and try to SW:P him right before he ports you; he casts both Defile/Vile Spirits twice, then he ports you ~10sec after the 2nd Vile Spirits channel.
6.) While inside Frostmourne the 2nd+3rd times, watch your trinket/Mindbender cooldowns. You want to pop another pot+Drums immediately after one of these Frostmourne phases, ideally with Mindbender+trinkets up and Arthas under 35% (for ToF).
7.) If he pulls you into Frostmourne a 4th time, expect to hit the enrage timer.
8.) At 10%, he casts Fury of Frostmourne. Pain Suppress yourself to survive it, and dps him and any remaining Shambling Horrors during the lengthy RP. If you make it this far, congrats and good luck on your 1% mount chance!

The strategy requires practice to get down. If you have heroic gear, you may want to practice mechanics/kite phases and die to enrage before you go through the trouble of flying to Townlong/Hyjal for the mage/druid buffs. I had attempted this last patch, without the buffs, and died to enrage at 19% on my best try (remember: you win at 10%). Just now, I one-shot him but probably beat the enrage timer by a matter of seconds, considering he was just about to pull me into Frostmourne for the 4th time when he hit 10%. I actually didn't think I was going to make it, but a timely trinket proc may have been the difference. Good luck and godspeed!

EDIT: Week 2 and again I one-shot him. This time I cleared ph1 with only 2 Shambling Horrors up. Despite being pulled into Frostmourne 3 times, I finished the fight at 217k dps on the meter, about two-thirds on Arthas and one-third on adds.

"All life, must end..."

A simple and overused quote,but when this guy say it,sounds unbelieveable,he's just too perfect.

Kommentar von 968833

Soloed as a BM Hunter

1. Use a Tank spec Spirit Beast with Glyph of Misdirection

2. Drums of rage, BOAK, Food and flasks and pots etc.

3. Phase 1 NUKE Blow all cds and MD all adds to pet and avoid the shadow traps

4. If you get infected with necrotic plague use spirit heal

5. Kill Ice spheres ASAP and MD all raging spirits to pet BUT DO NOT KILL THE RAGING SPIRITS

6. This part is important you need to use distracting shot on the raging spirits all the time and just MD them back to your pet. Distracting shot will stop the Valkyries from dropping you because it counts you as a OT.

7. Kill Ice Spheres again

8. You will be draged into Frostmourne just kill the falling ghosts and when you leave Frostmourne kill any raging spirits that are up and nuke the boss

9. LK one shots you rez yourself and then its a quick kill and hope for the mount to drop :)

Kommentar von Maelchav

I'm having a little trouble soloing this on my ilvl-538 Retribution paladin, in 25-man normal mode (apparently I can switch to heroic on my other characters, but not this one yet).

My damage and survivability are ok, not great, but that's not my problem. In five attempts last night, I was picked up and dropped off the platform by a Val'kyr Shadowguard twice. (The other three deaths were n00b mistakes like getting thrown off by Ice Sphere or being distracted by my wife talking to me.)

I've read that they don't pick up the Lich King's tank, and/or that they don't pick up anyone who has aggro on at least one Raging Spirit. I know I had LK's full attention, but that didn't help me. Do I need to keep at least one Raging Spirit alive throughout Phases 2 and 3? I'm pretty sure I had killed them all early during both phases both times, and didn't get picked up until Phase 3 (the last time was when I had LK down to 19% health, very frustrating), so I'm not sure what kept me from being grabbed in Phase 2 that changed in Phase 3.

Any suggestions?

I'm working on upgrading my tank gear in hopes of farming 25-H for the mount - is it easier in Protection spec? Or am I better off continuing in Retribution?

Thanks!

Soloed The Lich King on 25 Man Heroic... as a 539 BM Hunter....

Phase 2:(70%): .... You may kill the Raging Spirit, however you WILL want to leave a few up during phase 3, as you need them in order to avoid the Val'kyr Shadowguard....

Phase 3:(69%-40%): .... You WILL want to use Distracting Shot every minute on a Raging Spirit, as it will mark you as tank and the Val'kyr Shadowguard in return will not pick you up....

Phase 4:(40%): .... He will spawn more Raging spirits, these don't really need to be killed and most likely just die to Beast Cleave over time anyways....

So, what's the verdict? Does being a melee class make a difference here?

A somewhat in depth guide to soloing Lich King 25 Man Heroic Mode as a survival hunter. (This will require decent DPS, roughly 350k or so)
Talents:

Eifer
Glyphs:

Buffs used:
Fläschchen der Frühlingsblüten
Großes Pandarenfestmahl
Trommeln der Vergessenen Könige
Runenschriftrolle der Seelenstärke III
Trommeln des Zorns

Items used:
Gesundheitsstein
Biss des Shed-Ling
Side note: I would suggest using your bloodlust drums on either Phase One, or Phase Two, depending on which one you have the most difficulty with.
Phase One

Phase one is relatively simple, although it can get a tad overwhelming which is why you want it to be over with as soon as possible, due to the high likelihood that you will be hit with both Befallen and Nekrotische Seuche at the same time, which can almost immediately cause a wipe if not properly handled. Anyway, moving on!

Before the Lich King becomes target-able lay down an explosive trap and snake trap, for some added DPS, as well as using your Biss des Shed-Ling. Also ensure that your pets Knurren is enabled. Your pet will most likely not need the tanking spec, as the damage it takes is nearly non-existent and can easily be handled with the Spirit Bond talent. Worst case scenario a single Mend Pet will easily keep your pet alive.

Then continue to use as well as Stampede once the Lich King is target-able.
He will continue to summon Ghulsklave beschwören and Torkelnden Schrecken beschwören. A quick Multi-Shot will easily take care of the Drudge Ghouls before the next spawns. The Shambling Horror isn't much of a threat and can easily be kited. He will not often hit you, if at all due to the mob only being level 83. He should however, be taken care of as soon as possible. As having necrotic plague can leap between you and him, and can easily cause a wipe.

Your main concern during this phase is the Nekrotische Seuche and Befallen combo that he will occasionally due. Having DBM (Or similar boss mod add-on) with WotLK fights is incredibly helpful as it will let you know when these spells are about to be cast, and how close together they will be. If both these abilities occur at roughly the same time, and you are within 85-89% health, quickly counter with a Rückzug to get yourself back up at 90% to remove the Befallen. The Spirit Bond and an additional Disengage should be enough to get you through the Nekrotische Seuche

If you are below 80% health, it is unlikely a Disengage and your Spirit Bond talent will be able to heal you back up to 90% or higher before Befallen starts hitting too hard and you will die. In this event, you will need to use your Healthstone.
With a little patience, and getting used to the mechanics, you should have the Lich King hitting the transition phase.

Transition Phase
If you haven't already, finish up any adds that have survived through the first phase. Quickly move to the edge of the map to avoid taking continuous damage from Unbarmherziger Winter. The Lich King will summon Tobender Geist during this. You should kill these down as quickly as possible. You will also need to keep an eye on Eissphäre that spawn. They only have around 50k health and can easily be taken out with a single Serpent Sting. Try to keep your DoTs on the Lich King as much as possible during this phase.

Optional
This can make the second phase easier, but I had no luck with this in my experience, but I feel I should mention it, in the event that it does work. Leave one of the summoned Raging Spirits alive from the transition phase, and bring him with you into phase two. This shouldn't be too difficult to manage, as the spirit doesn't do much damage when he actually manages to hit you.

Phase Two
If you are using the Raging Spirit:

Make sure your pet is strictly focusing on the Lich King. Having the Raging Spirit alive, and tanking it yourself. (Not your pet) Is supposedly an effective way to grant your character immunity from the Valkyrie grabbing you and dropping you off the edge. However I never had any luck with this strategy. If you can manage it, it will make the phase significantly more simple, as almost all damage will be focused on your pet, and he can be easily kept up with a continuous Mend Pet. Just be sure to dodge the defile pools and focus the Lich King down and bring him into the next transition phase.

If you are not using the Raging Spirit:

You will need to disable your pets growl ability, as well as dismiss your pet and re-summon him to ensure the Lich King has aggro on you, and not your pet. This will grant you immunity from the Valkyrie picking you up and throwing you off the ledge.

However, now you have to deal with tanking the Lich King, as well as Seelenernter and Befallen these combined at roughly the same time can be incredibly devastating and can easily kill you. Never stop kiting the Lich King at any point, this will help in mitigating his melee damage. When the Lich King uses Soul Reaper quickly disengage, he should shortly pause again in order to cast either Defile or Infest. If he uses Defile first, just continue to kite him as best as possible, using disengage on cooldown.

If he uses Infest, counter by using Deterrence and continue kiting, using disengage on cooldown. If you start dropping below 75% health while the Infest debuff is still on, use another healthstone, it should be off cooldown by now.
Just rinse and repeat, and with a little luck you should reach the next transition phase.

Transition Phase
Just do what you did for the last one, except there is absolutely no reason to leave any Raging Spirits alive any more. Just kill em' dead!

Phase Three
It is absolutely one-hundred percent safe to turn back on your pets growl ability. The Valkyrie will no longer try to pick anyone up and throw em off the edge! Hooray! The rest of the fight is absolute gravy from here on out. You will on occasion get slurped up by Frostmourne, but that isn't a big deal. Just shoot the adds up in the air and hang out till you get sent back. Continue killing the Lich King. Occasionally a horde of spirits will come chasing after you, but the damage they do is minor and no real concern. Just continue moving and DPSing the Lich King. When he gets down to around 10% health, congratulations you're winner!

Hope this guide helps, and good luck to those farming the mount. May the loots loots be ever in your favor!

Following 6.0.2, we're going to see MANY posts regarding how easy the stat squish has made this.

So, I guess I'll be the first!

Fury warrior, 101k health (w/30% buff). 554 ilvl. Just destroyed this fight on 25 heroic in about 2 minutes. The Lich King only hit me for around 1k a swing, so Bloodthirst and Victory Rush (which for some reason is proccing off lvl 80 mobs now) made staying above 90% health trivial. Transition phase? Remorseless Winter did 300 per tick. DPS him through it. Kill the ice spheres with any kind of cleave. They go down in one hit.

His grand finale, Fury of Frostmourne, hit me for a whopping 11k.

I foresee this being trivial for any class, any spec. Imagine the mincemeat we're going to make of this at lvl 100!
(having said that, you still need to watch for Shadow Traps, and Infest can stack up if you don't keep yourself over 90%)

Why isn't Invincible Reins anymore on the loot table?

Kommentar von jd234

With the new 6.0 changes I can easily kill LK (558 Kitty Druid). Except, as melee, I'm near the middle when LK dies. If I leave any Ice Sphere's near the middle, when Terenas rezes me after LK dies ... the sphere tosses me off the platform, and everything glitches.

The best part is that I can't release my spirit because "a member of your group is in combat". I can't even logout, and since I'm forever falling off the platform the "character stuck" tool also can't be used. I'm just stuck forever. I had to ctrl-alt-del kill Wow, and open a ticket to resolve it. Best part? No credit for the kill ... bleh.

Kommentar von Sorathez

So I just did this fight, after stat squish, expecting to rek it. Did fine, never even lost health (leeching poison is broken here). I'd been using Shadowstep for the lols, just to jump around and then suddenly...

BAM!

Knocked off the edge, no shadowstep to jump back to him with. #oneshotted

Needless to say, I kept shadowstep off cooldown in the second attempt.

Kommentar von PrimitiveTheory

Soloed 25 Heroic LK as a 567 HOLY paladin, I was lagging quite a bit and wasn't as smooth as any other character i have

P1: Stand infront of the stairs, burn him as fast as you can saving Light's hammer for the second wave of adds

P2: try to Speed of Light to kite the reflection adds and save Light's Hammer for next phase, just didnt bother using it, tab target the Ice Spheres and just kite them

P3 don't enter Phase 3 with any adds up, he enraged at 17% but I just healed through his damage and only cast when he cast Defile

no mount

why not zoidberg

Kommentar von Gannon

Alrighty then, took me a few tries to down Heroic LK, as of the 6.0 pre-expac patch, on a 542 2H Frost DK, cuz I needed a couple lessons in "L2LK".

I was never in danger of dying (other than frequent trips off the edge of the platform) and ended up using Conversion and Death Strike as needed for a heal. You can pretty much save all your defensive cooldowns for the Frostmourne Room, as I did get dinged up a bit in there.

The two big killers are the Shadow Traps at the start of the fight and the Icy Spheres when he's kneeling in the middle of the platform. The Shadow Traps make a black swirling graphic on the ground (normally under your feet...EEK!), so just kite the Lich King away. Even though the blast radius is not huge, better safe than sorry and move him a decent distance away. The Icy Sphere's were a pain for me, as my Tidy Plates addon wasn't working so I couldn't see the HP Plates over the top of them. Once I quit being a tard, I turned off the addon and did the V targeting, so I could see the Icy Spheres faster and clearer. Once they popped, I normally just killed them with the AoE damage from Howling Blast while targeting LK or the Raging Spirit.

Makes me happy to know I have another raid I can fully solo for a rare drop mount :)

Good luck!

I managed to solo this as a 517 protection warrior in 6.0.2. I made a video of me soloing it it's sped up 3 times because the video was 18 minutes before the I sped it up. Here's the link to the video, perhaps you could find it useful.

Kommentar von druunah

Solo as a protection warrior item level just under 470: Keep your back to the stairs going up the the Lich King's throne. (I actual stood partway up the stairs) This prevents him from knocking you off the edge, killing you and having to start over. Hit the icy spheres with Heroic Throw when they appear. Make sure to use Victory Rush and Enraged Regeneration when needed. For me, it got a little black/dark toward end of the fight (graphics wise). I think that it was due to his shadow traps and the fact I was standing on the stairs and not on the platform. It was still reasonably easy to target the Lich King or anything else through the "gloom." **EDIT** I've tried this fight with both a hunter, and a pally and the basic idea seems to work for both. Keep your back to the stairs and the likelihood of The Lich King throwing you off the platform is greatly reduced. I would imagine that this strategy should work with any class at approximately level 90. (I personally have not tried this at lower levels).

Kommentar von thefunkmasterj

I got a weird bug while soloing this after 6.0 (573 arms warrior). After dropping the LK to 1 hit point, a random Val'kyr spawned during the long roleplay dialogue and carried me off the edge. Do not worry if this happens to you, though. Menethil's resurrection spell will still get you up and able to take off that last hp.

Kommentar von Schadenfreude

Had a val'kyr pick me up (warlock) much to my surprise-- apparently you do want to have an add hanging around beating on you during phase 2 if you're going to do this with a pet. Not sure if I was just overly stringent about killing adds this time since I've been soloing LK25H for several weeks and didn't previously have an issue.

Kommentar von Ickthid

I've been clearing this fight multiple times weekly since 6.0 dropped, some classes have it easier than others, but here are some tips from my experiences.

Warlock: Try Affliction, use drums of rage and potion of the jade serpent along with dark soul: misery during the first phase. Use voidwalker for add control up until the end of the first intermission. When LK starts calling Val'kyr, either dismiss the voidwalker or use grimoire of sacrifice. Voidwalker is safe to use during the intermission phases because the Val'kyr won't grab you. Try using drain soul on the ice orbs with glyph of soul consumption to keep your health up for infest. The final phase is easy (keep VW dismissed/sacrificed), every time you get pulled into Frostmourne, you can tab target/drain life/drain soul on the adds to keep your health up.

Rogue: Don't have many issues with this class. I run it as Assassination, haven't tried the other two specs. Use cloak of shadows to get rid of the plague in the first phase if necessary. Use fan of knives just outside of melee range from the ice orbs to get rid of them. Consider talenting for shuriken toss for the final phase inside of Frostmourne, you can work up combo points to put into recuperate to help survive the phase.

Warrior: I usually use Arms during this fight. For talents, I usually run with second wind and dragon roar, the rest doesn't matter as much. To keep your health above 90% to survive infest, try to keep some of the lesser ghouls alive. For now, they're still 'honorable' targets, you can kill them and get a victory rush proc that can heal you up. Glyph for victory rush if you need it. For ice orb, you can either whirlwind (and risk killing the ghouls, if you find yourself needing them) or use heroic throw from range. For the Frostmourne phase, you can kill the spirits with heroic throw and use the following victory rush to keep your health up.

Hunter: I usually have the easiest time as Beast Mastery. Talent for crouching tiger, hidden chimaera, spirit bond, and stampede. Glyph for liberation. Pet is your choice, but I recommend a corehound for the bloodlust. Spirit bond will help keep your health up, but if you find yourself being carried away by Val'kyr (sometimes you are, sometimes you aren't, it's buggy atm), you can survive to the end by dismissing the pet and using disengage to keep your health up.

Druid: I've only done it as Balance. The only thing worth talenting/glyphing for is Ysera's gift. Add control is pretty easy with starfall, allowing you to focus down LK. Pop rejuvenation/healing touch if you need to (for infest). The fight is simple aside from that. Prioritize the reflections as they spawn, they have a silence that can be chained, that alone can ruin the attempt.

Paladin: Retribution. Talent for selfless healer, the rest are subjective. Cleanse the disease when necessary. Ice orb can be taken from range with judgment or exorcism. Heal with flash of light when your selfless healer buff hits 5 stacks, if you're having an issue with infest.

Kommentar von DiablosMX

I just killed the Lich King post-patch 6.0 (on 10-man, despite the rest cleared on 25). Because the scaling down of damage done to you, and the upped damage you do, you can LITERALLY stand in the Remorseless Winter and keep hitting the Lich King, skipping the last two phases altogether. Just make sure to take care of the Frost Orbs, some may miss due to your level difference, but if you're not in the middle you may get knocked off.

Kommentar von 1408927

Solo'd 25 heroic as a freshly boosted 90 blood death knight, with only the introductory gear you receive after completing the initial quests into dreanor. Went full tank spec with dps gear, never dropped below 60% health the entire fight. Was surprisingly easy. Took two lockouts as you need to beat him on normal to unlock heroic mode.

So if you are having trouble beating him with a certain class, or just wanna get a jump on farming him while still getting to max level, death knight is the way to go.

Strat was simple, moved around alot during phase one to avoid shadow trap. Let blood boil and my dots take care of the adds. Just wore him down after that. If you can make it past phase one you basically have him beat.

And yes invincible did drop on my first attempt.

Riding my luck into ulduar and a shot at mimirons head was unsuccessful though as i lacked the dps to kill the brain fast enough. Will attempt again when i get max level.

Kommentar von behunter

Don't know if anyone else has had this issue, but every time I've soloed the Lich King, I get stuck on the platform and the only way I can get out of ICC is by either hearthing, which I don't always want to do, or by jumping off the side to kill myself and run back. Am I missing something, or is this really the only way out.

Kommentar von Sanguiine

Did this today on my Rogue at 100, turns out you can resist the Fury of Frostmourne. I got the "unable to resurrect" debuff, but I didn't take any damage from it at all. So I was smacking Arthas in the ass while the event played out, with a beam of attempted raise dead shooting into my forehead.
Then looted double Fal'inrush, Defender of Quel'thalas. Didn't think that could happen.

Edit: Learned how to spell the crossbow's name.

Kommentar von Jessu

Anyone else having a problem not killing him in 25 man normal, or did it just bug out on me?

Soloed as a hunter, and left him alive with enough HP (also dismissed my pet so it wouldn't do any unnecessary damage) to do the RP and I didn't release ... got rez'd by Terenas and now LK is evading my attacks. Typed /reload, left the instance and came back, nothing works. He's just ... endlessly floating there lol.

UPDATE: When I walked directly beneath him (on top of Frostmourne) was when my attacks started hitting. Weird bug.

Kommentar von Gho5tRUN3R

I just want to state that those purple rings are basically the jump pads that kill you instantly. Avoid them.

I don't know why nobody has mentioned that in the highest ratings. Maybe they looked different before all the expansions after. But just a warning for all those out there, look for a dark purple, large sparkle and then a dark purple ring will open up underneath that area. Don't go near this or you will be flung out and die instantly.

At least that's what happened to me on 10H.

Kommentar von 85470

650 Geared Destro Warlock solo - Damage seems to be trivial, the only things that can kill you are the purple circles on the floor (Soul Reaper) and the orbs during the Remorseless Winter phases - both knock you off the platform, killing you instantly. These can easily be avoided by standing with your back to the stairs leading up to the LK's throne.

Kommentar von Archaix

For his most memorable mechanic, he should have been nicknamed "The Lich King Leonidas"

Kommentar von tetrahedron

So during this fight, Tirion is stuck in a Freezing Trap. Now, he doesn't use bubble to clear the CC because, at that point, Wings caused Forbearance, and he needed Wings to beat Arthas, so he couldn't bubble. And he doesn't use his pvp trinket until after everyone is dead. The only explanation for this is that, since everyone was dead, combat was dropped and he was able to equip a Medallion. But since Humans have a free trinket and don't need to equip a Medallion, this must mean that Tirion isn't actually human.

Illuminati confirmed?

Kommentar von Edynol

For melee, Arthas is very hard to solo now. When he goes to knock you back, he throws you in a random direction usually ending up in death. Best to try get him down before he does the first one.

Kommentar von Deyamira

I have found that even max level, his knock back can down even the most geared people, standing towards the middle with your back to the throne triggers the knock back to push you only a few inches up the steps, and as a range,it's still easy to hit him, it's the perfect range, as for a melee, just make sure you have the stairs behind you, should knock you straight back without killing you, I'm not sure if it's because of level, but if you stand there the whole fight he can't kill you with his win button, you basically skip the death and Resurrection. Hope this helps someone else!

Kommentar von 0Aloreth

Arthas: "Father! Is it... over?"

Teranas: "No, my son. The raid resets tomorrow."

Kommentar von Glitzero

Fun fact: Der Lichkönig is actually the most poor boss in the whole Die Eiskronenzitadelle with 32 golds dropped (when we don't count Todesbringer Saurfang, Truhe des Kanonenboots and Valithria Traumwandler who don't drop money in cause of coffin drop) . Plot twist: Hochlord Tirion Fordring was a greedy miser and took 40%(213 gold) of gold drop (his excuse was that it was a replacement for post of The Lich King)

Kommentar von Phish

645 Shadow Priest in 10H. I found that if I stand on the stairs, he doesn't knock me off the platform. I get pushed back a few feet, and can keep DPSing from a far.

Kommentar von EarthToMe001

PSA to those Invincible farmers out there... Turns out if you kill him TOO QUICKLY there's a chance the loot table won't trigger. Fortunately, a ticket got me the random loot I would have gotten (still no mount...) but no gold I just noticed. I'm not going to push that, because -whatever. Thought I'd throw that out there since it's a once-weekly chance.

Kommentar von magette

If like me you do this every single week and cry afterward just remember that if you forget to change the difficulty and you pull him on normal by mistake he dies very easily, I had popped all my cds and nuked him down so I had to jump off the edge and manually close the game and wait 5 minutes, when I logged in again I could release and go in and change to correct difficulty. Big sigh of relief. But alas. no mount

Kommentar von mencea

To kill Lich King 25 man heroic on multiple characters a week it is recommended to:
- clear the instance on NORMAL up untill LK on your least favorite character
- make a custom group by pressing the key 'I' then chose custom group, and allow auto invite. preferred in legacy raid since then server jumpers wont join so much
- go outside ICC and make sure you are in a 25man NORMAL group by clicking your character icon and changing raid settings.
- log into your other character and join the group in custom.
- wait till your are given leadership of the group, then enter ICC. accept the raidlock for normal.
- remove auto invite and change the raid settings to 25man HEROIC, then remove your other character and accept the 25man HEROIC raidlock.
- Kill Lich King and repeat on other characters :)

Kommentar von ladyfanny

Don't do the same mistake I've done if you want the Invicible. I have ran ICC in normal 10m and heroic 10m and normal 25m for 2 weeks long trying to farm this mount. I was changing the instance difficulty about how strong my characthers were... But It is only dropping on 25h. You can do the entire instance in normal mode if you want, but you have to do the Lich King on 25m heroic. You can get a friend if you are getting hard time. I finally got to do it on every of my toons very easily, you only have to learn what stuff you want to dodge. Don't stand in black circle. And you gonna see big white stuff dropping around him when he's standing in the middle of the place, it is called '' Ice sphere'' So here's some example of the moves I've made as a macro to kill them instantly.

Unholy Dk: /target ice sphere
/cast icy touch

Bm Hunter: /target ice sphere
/cast Arcane Shot
/cast Attack(Pet Command)

Prot Pally: /target ice sphere
/cast Judgment
/cast Avenger's Shield

So try do it with instant recharge or low couldown spell. If you move is on cd, just run away a bit till your move is back up... But even if it's on cd, your target will still be the ice sphere, so you can still one shot it with anything you got up.

When I learned that I had to do it on 25m heroic, it took 2 weeks running it with 7 toons a week for it to drop.
Good luck

PS. Sorry I only speak english for 3 or 4 years long now. So sorry if you don't understand me all the time.

Kommentar von Armetti

With 7.0.3 Tirion Fordring has his speech options from Legion, click on him in Icecrown Citadel before the fight and he goes "oooh so weak, don't have much time, heeeeelp.."

which isn't very fitting for a super paladin who's about to kill the master of death.

Kommentar von 1235379

For Demon Hunters soloing him and electing to stay away from the ice spheres: Fel Rushing through them kills them without blowing them up in your face, which makes the fight a lot faster.

Kommentar von Bababooeyhs

He didn't insta kill me like he used to. I awkwardly stood there and whacked on him while he gave his speech and tried to resummon me. Tirion also wasted his battle rez! What a noob!

Kommentar von Rhaegaron

I killed him as a Warlock and he dropped 2x "Valius, Gavel of the Lightbringer", a Mace which cannot be equipped. So happy for Warcraft's improvement in item drops.

Ok, granted this would be fine in a 10 man raid where there would be guildmates fighting over these =)

After the fight, a Portal zum Hammer des Lichts appears allowing transport to the entry part of the raid. Likewise, there is a Portal zum Frostthron allowing transport from the entry area back to the boss area.

Kommentar von Mydge

If you get to the LK and can't get up onto his floor, make sure you kill the first two mobs when you enter the raid.

I ran past them and couldn't get up to the throne.

Kommentar von Tinkur

I REALLY wish there was a way to not have to sit through his almost 3 minutes of monologue. I just want to be disappointed by my lack of dead pony Arthas! Stop talking!

Kommentar von athena42

If you are having trouble (like me) and keep looking at the teleporter for a port to the lich king king, teleport to the Upper area. Then run straight to teleporter in the middle of the room ahead. The room in question is the large area with the four bridges that leads to various bosses. The middle teleporter will automatically send you to Arthas.

Arthas: Father. Is it... Over?
Teranas: At long last. No Arthas rules forever my son
Arthas: I see... only Arthas... before... me
Father: Without its Arthas' command, the restless Arthas will become an even greater threat to this world. Arthas must be maintained. There must always be (dramatic thunder & lightning) an Arthas.
Tirion: The weight... of such an Arthas. It must be mine, for there is no other to...
?: TIRION! You hold a grim Arthas in your hands, brother. But it is not your own.
Tirion: Bolvar!
Tirion: By all that is holy...
Bolvar: The dragon's Arthas... sealed my fate. The world of the living can no longer Arthas me.
Bolvar: Place the Arthas upon my Arthas, Tirion. Forevermore, I will be the Arthas of the Arthas.
Tirion: No, old friend, I cannot...
Bolvar: DO IT TIRION! You and these brave Arthas' have your own Arthas' to Arthas. This last act of Arthas is mine.
Tirion: You will not be Arthas, brother.
Bolvar: I MUST be Arthas, Tirion! If the Arthas is to Arthas free from the tyranny of Arthas, they must never Arthas what was Arthased here today.
Bolvar: Tell them only that Arthas is dead. And that Bolvar Fordragon… BOLVARED WITH BOLVAR.
Bolvar: NOW BOLVAR. LEAVE THIS BOLVAR, AND NEVER BOLVAR!
(cookie if you get the reference)

Kommentar von Waakalicious

WTB, after 10+ years, an option to skip straight to LK. Running the entire place across 12+ toons weekly is rather annoying.

Kommentar von Apolyptica

The Lockout sharing method which had been partially fixed with the release of Shadowlands seems to have been completly fixed in Dragonflight.
Personally I have no intention of running my characters one by one through the full instance anymore so good luck to anyone still going for Invincible's Reins!
