Utgarde Keep

Dungeon GuideRetail

Boss abilities and loot tables from Blizzard's own journal, boss by boss.

Utgarde Keep was long thought to be abandoned, a relic of a lost civilization among the central cliffs of the Howling Fjord. Yet in recent days something has roused the fortress' slumbering residents, the vrykul.

Written notes for this instance are a later milestone. Everything on this page comes from Blizzard's journal data.

Expansion: Wrath of the Lich King
Minimum Level: 30

Bosses

1. Prince Keleseth

The Lich King deployed Keleseth to Utgarde Keep in hopes of harnessing the vrykul's potential for destruction. Upon arriving, the ambassador found a people who were more than eager to assist the Scourge. The keep has proved to be an excellent staging point for terrorizing the Howling Fjord, and Keleseth has no intention of losing it to insolent trespassers.

Abilities

Shadow Bolt
Frost Tomb
Vrykul Skeleton
Prince Keleseth calls for several Vrykul Skeletons to aid him in battle.

Loot

2. Skarvald & Dalronn

It's a vrykul tradition to make unlikely partners work together. Some say it's to allow divergent abilities to complement each other; others say it's for the amusement of King Ymiron. Regardless, Skarvald and Dalronn are a perfect example of this custom. Between a vrykul's brawn and a human's necromantic arts, they will punish those who meddle with the Scourge.

Abilities

Skarvald the Constructor
When Skarvald the Constructor is killed, he continues to fight as an unkillable ghost until Dalronn is defeated.
Dalronn the Controller
Dalronn the Controller summons two Skeletal Minions.

Loot

3. Ingvar the Plunderer

Ingvar's brute strength is legendary even among the vrykul. Rumor has it that he once bested King Ymiron in a brawl. The truth is unknown, but purveyors of that tale usually don't live for a retelling. Ingvar has promised the Lich King that he'll use all measures of brutality to hold the keep, a promise that he dare not break.

Abilities

Phase 1: In His Service
Ingvar the Plunderer cleaves a player, inflicting Physical damage to them and their closest ally.
Phase 2: The Price of Failure
When Ingvar the Plunderer is killed, he is brought back to life by the Lich King's servant, Annhylde the Caller, as an undead slave.
