Utgarde Keep: Horde Side

November 17, 2008

Siha over at Banana Shoulders has some great quest guides for the Northrend Instances.  Unfortunately her’s are Alliance only.  I decided to do the same for the Horde quests!
Siha’s is here : Instance Quest Checklist: Utgarde Keep
Here’s my list for all you Hordies out there!

A Score to Settle

Quest Level: 71 – Required to Start: 70

Boss Tactics: Terestian Illhoof

February 29, 2008

Most groups will skip Illhoof and go to Shade of Aran first because all of the trash except for 1 pull right in front of Illhoof’s room are tied to Shade and they want to make sure the trash is taken care of. Illhoof is actually a very easy fight but a Warlock is basically a necessity.

Boss Tactics: Opera Event – Wizard of Oz aka The Crone

February 26, 2008

As a side note, I realized that I forgot the loot section on a few of the previous posts; this has been corrected!
This is one of the more rare Opera events, for me at least. We get BBW most of the time, Galadria says they did too. Between the two of us we’ve probably seen [...]

Boss Tactics: Nightbane

February 22, 2008

As a side note, I’m going a little out of the order I had planed on but these are the fights I have good screenshots for.  Deal with it  
Nightbane is usually one of the last fights a guild will attempt. You have to complete the Medivh’s Journial quest line order to summon him and it’s [...]

Boss Tactics: The Curator

February 21, 2008

In order to get to Curator you’ll need to go in the back door.  After leaving the front door, go down the path a little ways and you’ll see a small river on your left, cross the river and go around the corner of the building.  Go up the stairs, and up, and up, and up until you cross [...]

Boss Tactics: Opera Event – Romulo and Julianne

February 14, 2008

These two star-crossed lovers are probably the easiest of the 3 Opera events, and if you’re not a Tailor, probably the most desired by Holy Priests; the Masquerade Gown is quite mice (and very pretty to boot!)
Encounter Mechanics
This is basically a 3 phase fight. You fight and kill Julianne, then Romulo, then both together (sound [...]

Boss Tactics: Opera Event – Big Bad Wolf

February 6, 2008

All of the Opera encounters tend to be a little crazy and hectic. Big Bad Wolf (BBW) is no exception, but it’s a lot of fun!
Encounter Mechanics

Unlike the other Opera events, this one does not automatically start when the curtain goes up. You’ll see “Grandmother” and talk to her to start the event.

In phase 1 BBW [...]

Boss Tactics: Maiden of Virtue

January 30, 2008

This fight is optional, you don’t have to do it unless you want to get Keanna’s Log for the quest and even then you don’t actually have to do the boss to get to it, just some difficult trash pulls. The hallway leading up to Maiden has 3 rooms on the left side; you’ll need [...]

Vladvin: Working on Kael Part 2

January 28, 2008

After clearing SSC on Wed and Thurs, then the first 3 bosses in TK on Sat, we spent all day on Kael yesterday.  We are now firmly into Phase 4.  We got Phase 1 down last week but couldn’t figure out the DPS on the weapons.  This week we replaced a healer with another DPS [...]

Boss Tactics: Moroes

January 24, 2008

The next boss after Attumen is Moroes.  After you go up the stairs becareful of the single mobs that patrol the perimeter of the room.  The entire room doesn’t need to be pulled, just enough to get you into Moroes’ room on the left. 
Encounter Mechanics

Moroes is a single phase fight with 4 adds.  There are several ways to deal with the adds. [...]
