What happens here is presumed to be the introduction of the Svala encounter before engagement (and her death speech)

Abilities:

• Call Flames: Summons several jets of flame from nearby fires to strike at the caster's enemies.
• Ritual of the Sword: Performs the Ritual of the Sword, sacrificing the target to the Lich King.
• Sinister Strike: Inflicts normal damage plus 833 to 967 to an enemy.

Strategy:
The boss will first have a dialogue with Arthas, then you may engage her. She does very little damage to plate, and summons adds throughout the fight. These adds spawn three at a time and channel beams to stun one of the party members, but the adds have low health and damage. After the adds are dead, the boss will fly up and summon more, your party member will be free to move again, and a sword will drop from the sky to do some AoE damage to the altar. While in the air, casters can still DPS her. She will repeat this cycle a few times. Almost any group makeup should have no trouble with this boss.

In heroic mode, the adds have a buff that puts a dot on anyone who damages them. The easiest way to reduce the damage is to have a mage spellsteal the buffs or AoE them down. Other than the DoTs, the fight is the same.

• Arcing Smash
• Impale
• Withering Roar

Strategy:
This boss requires the player to channel an object near the far end of the room, away from the boss to start the encounter. The fight is similar to the last boss of Arcatrz in that a spirit is summoned, and activates a series of mini-bosses before the actual boss.

The room has 4 animals in it, and you will fight two of them. On Heroic, you fight all 4 mini-bosses.

The furblog mini-boss has a chain lightning spell and does not hit very hard.

The worm mini-boss debuffs 1000 armor and also does a short-ranged AoE poison that deals 1000 damage per second and is cleansable. This poison ticks for much more in heroic, and could cause an undergeared group to wipe.

The rhino does AoE damage and hits hard in melee. He also does a charge that leaves a DoT on the target.

Palehoof himself is activated after you finish off the mini-bosses, and does not hit exceptionally hard on plate. He has a random bleed dot named Impale that does 2k initial damage and then ticks for 2000 every 3 seconds for 9 seconds. He also stacks an aura every 30 seconds or so that reduces maximum health by 500 and deals 2000 damage. This is a very easy to beat DPS check. There are a few seconds to drink between each of the mini-bosses and Palehoof.

In heroic mode, the Impale ticks for 3000 every 3 seconds and has an initial hit of 4000. The aura in heroic mode reduces health by 1000 and does 4000 damage each time it hits.

• Whirlwind
• Poisoned Spear
• Crush

Strategy:
This boss has a pet protodragon that he jumps onto when engaged. The boss then calls in a hallway of adds for you to kill, these adds do not have very much health or hit exceptionally hard. Each time you kill a Harpooner, he will drop a Harpoon for you to loot. While fighting down the hallway, Skadi will make flying passes above you, covering half of the hall with a frost breath that does damage if you stand in it. Once you reach the end of the hallway, there are several harpoon launchers aimed at an area that Skadi will pass when doing flyovers to apply his frost breath. An emote will pop up altering you that he is within range of the harpoons. The Harpoon is then used with the Harpoon launcher to damage his mount. After it takes a certain amount of damage (~5 harpoons) he will dismount. After you have cleared the hallway, adds will continue to spawn from the doorway, sometimes containing a harpooner that will provide more harpoons if you need them. Once you have shot down the boss, he will doing fairly high damage on plate and do a whirlwind that does a lot of damage to cloth. Make sure to have healers / casters stay back, and melee back out when it starts if there are gear issues.

In heroic mode, the whirlwind is something to run away from, as he targets one person and whirlwinds towards them. Otherwise the fight is the same.

• Bane
• Dark Slash
• Spirit Strike
• Screams of the Dead - used to stop the fight while he summons a spirit
• Fetid Rot
• Spirit Burst

Strategy:
King Ymiron has trash in front of him that will aoe fear, so make sure to pull those back to the hallway before his room. Once Ymiron is engaged, he will summon spirits to help him throughout the fight. Ymiron appears to hit very hard on plate. The Dark Slash attack will remove half of the tanks health. He also buffs himself with a buff that does 1-2k damage to surrouning people when attacked. This can be dispeled or spellstolen off of him.

There is nothing special about this fight in Heroic mode. If a group can beat the gauntlet, this boss should be easy.
