Raiding with Leashes: Wrath of the Lick King Ability Throwbacks

Raid de mascottes IV : la colère du roi des laisses
has a number of adorable and creepy new battle pets; for players who raided during Wrath, these pets are also steeped in nostalgia. All of the pets are clever throwbacks to encounter mechanics in Wrath, which we'll take a look at!
Ulduar
Ulduar, the prison of Yogg-Saron, was a sprawling raid in Wrath of the Lich King. It had an innovative way to start hardmodes--instead of switching the difficulty of the encounter before fighting, players would have to start the encounter in a certain way to unlock the hardmode. For example: defeating Thorim's gauntlet in 3 minutes or less would trigger his hardmode.
There were two end-bosses in Ulduar that awarded Feats of Strength and titles:
Algalon l'Observateur
which was only open an hour a week, and
Yogg-Saron
which had multiple hardmode steps.
Outside of the pets, Ulduar is worth farming for
Tête de Mimiron
,
Val'anyr, le marteau des anciens rois
,
Étreintes de Yogg-Saron vaincu
, achievements like
Gloire à l'écumeur de raids d’Ulduar (25 joueurs)
, and some
great transmog gear
.
For the short version of clearing Ulduar, check out Henderman's
Burn 'em Down: A Pocket Guide to Ulduar
and for the longer version covering all achievements, please read eidyia's
Ulduar - The Complete Achiever's Guide
.
Petit enragé du magma
- This pet is a mini-version of the awful exploding trash mobs
Enragé du magma
before
Ignis le maître de la Fournaise
! This fight was healing intense with lots of fire on the floor and the famous moment of being thrown into the molten fire pot (
Chaud devant (10 joueurs)
). The pet mimics these fiery perils with abilities such as
Volcan
and
Vague de magma
.
Page runeforgé
- This pet is a mini-version of the
Golem de fer durci
trash before Kolagarn and the Iron Council. Defeating the Iron Council on hardmode was needed to start the
Disque de données de l'Archivum
quest chain.
Petit enragé hivernal
- This pet is a mini-version of the
Revenant hivernal
trash before
Hodir
. This frosty encounter periodically froze players, dropped icicles, and applied
Froid mordant
to stationary players, reflected in the
Pointe de glace
and
Patinoire
abilities.
Ultrachariotte G0-R41-0N
- This pet looks like the base of the completed
Mimiron
construct, V0-1T-R0N. It has an ability named after the scary
Robot-boum XE-321
trash that surrounds
Mimiron
's room. In the Mimiron encounter, players fought different parts of his construct, and then a challenging version fused all together. Perhaps the most fun part of the encounter was hitting the big red button to start hardmode! In Legion, Mimiron is now an ally and helps players
obtain the Beast Mastery Artifact
.
Proto-dragonnet bardé de fer
- This pet is a miniature
Tranchécaille
and shares the ability
Frappe des ailes
with the
Ulduar
boss.
Tranchécaille
was a fun boss with a cool harpoon mechanic to bring her down from the air. This pet is also a baby version of the
Rênes de proto-drake bardé de fer
mount.
Bébé du sanctum
- This pet is a pet version of the
Factionnaire du sanctum
adds summoned by
Auriaya
. The mobs were notoriously difficulty to deal with, using
Traquenard
on players and dealing increased damage if not separated. Defeating Auriaya without killing any cats awards the
La vieille dame aux chats (25 joueurs)
achievement.
Flagellant mordant
- This pet is similar to the
Flagellant explosif
adds that spawn during the
Freya
fight. These adds exploded when killed, dealing huge amounts of damage. These became even deadlier on hard mode with the abilities
Essence de Brillefeuille
and
Essence de Branchefer
.
Tentacule rampant
- This pet looks like the tentacles that spawn on the
Yogg-Saron
fight and also have the ability
Insanité rampante
, a reference to a mechanic in the
Yogg-Saron
fight.
Yogg-Saron
was an incredibly difficult fight and required you to keep your sanity low while also precisely killing adds and killing his brain. Obtaining the
Faucheur de la Mort « Prem's » du royaume
achievement awarded the title.
Poussière d’étoile
- This innocent little star bunny has two of
Algalon l'Observateur
's most difficult abilities -
Coup de poing phasique
and
Choc cosmique
. This was a stressful fight since, when he was released, raid teams only had an hour a week to work on him - afterwards he would disappear. Obtaining the
Défenseur céleste « Prem's » du royaume
achievement awarded the title.
Trial of the Crusader
L’épreuve du croisé
was the first raid Blizzard introduced limited-attempt mechanics on. When activating hardmode, players would only have 50 attempts to defeat the five bosses. The fewer attempts used, the better the loot reward would be at the end of the raid, including mounts like
Loup rapide de la Horde
and
Palefroi rapide de l'Alliance
on 10-player and high ilvl capes on 25-player. There were special rewards for completing the instance with 0 deaths on 25-player mode:
Cheval de guerre blanc de croisé
and
Cheval de guerre noir de croisé
.
Learn more about the instance with SquireKel's guide
The Crusader's Coliseum
.
Gueule-d’Effroi
- If
Gueule-d'acide
and
Ecaille-d'effroi
from ToC had a baby Jormungar, this would be it! It has both fire and poison abilities, like the boss fight from which it drops. In this encounter, the
Toxine paralysante
ability which applies a stun can only be cleared by the
Bile brûlante
ability, which deals damage to players.
Grouillant nérubien
- This pet is a mini-version of the adds that spawn during the
Anub'arak
fight in ToC. Most of the fight, until the very end, was dealing with
Nérubien
adds by placing
Gel prolongé
on the ground to kill them on, which prevented them from borrowing and also cancelled out
Pointes pourchassantes
in Phase 2.
Avorton frigbold
- This pet is not included in the actual achievement because it has a low drop rate. It is a reference to the
Vassal frigbold
which would sit on player heads during
Gormok l'Empaleur
and cast silence via
Raclée
. They had to be killed as quickly as possible, unless you were going for the
Mal de dos (25 joueurs)
achievement.
Icecrown Citadel
Citadelle de la Couronne de glace
is the definitive raid of Wrath of the Lich King. Its final boss is none other than Arthas Menethil, the Lich King himself! This raid progressively unlocked over the course of many weeks; the end bosses had limited attempts as well.
Acquiring
Deuillelombre
was a major part of Icecrown Citadel; the player who finished the questline also obtained
Boîte à musique de Sylvanas
,
Médaillon de Jaina
,
Tabard du porteur de Lumière
,
Faveur de Muradin
, and
Rênes de destrier de la mort cramoisi
. Farming Icecrown Citadel is still popular today for
Rênes d'Invincible
and
Ruban de Bijou
.
Learn more about the instance with SquireKel's guide
Glory of the Icecrown Raider
.
Olécrane
- This mini
Seigneur Gargamoelle
has the famous phrase
Tempête d’os
as 3 of his abilities - each version costs progressively more of your total health. Bonestorm was deadly if raid members who were
Pointu
during the fight were not freed in time.
Halhaine
- The baby version of
Pulentraille
/
Trognepus
. These bosses were gross - lots of bile and vomit and gas during all phases of these fights! The
Gelée
is a reference to Professor Putricide's important ability
Flaque de gelée
. This pool would spread, dealing damage to players, and it was contained by having a player transform into a Muted Abomination and
Mangez le limon
.
Goule besogneuse
- Scores of these would spawn during the first phase of the
Le roi-liche
fight. You had to use these adds to bounce around the
Peste nécrotique
during the fight in order to kill other, bigger adds - the Shambling Horror. Letting the plague stack very high was needed for
J'ai attendu ce moment pendant longtemps (25 joueurs)
.
Furoncle sanglant
- A reference to the ability on the Heroic version of
Porte-mort Saurcroc
,
Nova de sang
. This fight was a serious DPS race - outpacing the damage of the blood abilities was difficult! When Blood Nova hit multiple players, Saurfang would generate more Blood Power and deal additional damage.
Jeune dragonnet âme-brisée
- A baby, un-undead Sindragosian whelp. Famous for her line "Your pathetic magic will betray you!" this fight was all about managing your debuffs and placing ice blocks appropriately.
Ame malfaisante
- This pet looks like the ghosts summoned by
Esprits vils
during the
Le roi-liche
fight. When you were inside Frostmourne on the heroic version of this fight, these ghosts had to be killed and exploded upon death.
