Utgarde Pinnacle

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
Modes: Normal, Heroic

Bosses

1. Svala Sorrowgrave

Svala distinguished herself as Ingvar the Plunderer's lieutenant, leading perilous scouting missions in Horde and Alliance outposts. It was she who discovered the enemy's plans to invade Utgarde, giving the Lich King time to prepare. For her service, he has transformed her into a val'kyr, revered warrior maiden of the Scourge.

Abilities

Sinister Strike
Svala Sorrowgrave strikes a player, inflicting Physical damage.
Call Flames
Svala Sorrowgrave summons flames from the nearby braziers that inflict Fire damage to a random player.
Ritual of the Sword
Svala Sorrowgrave summons a random player to her altar and begins to sacrifice them. While being sacrificed, three Ritual Channelers cast Paralyze on the player, stunning them until the channelers are killed.

Loot

2. Gortok Palehoof

The vrykul keep many trophies at Utgarde Keep, and Gortok is among the most impressive. King Ymiron displays the frozen magnataur's cruel countenance as a reminder that even the most savage beasts are mere decorations for vrykul halls. This living statue will sow destruction if liberated, unleashing his wrath indiscriminately.

Abilities

Stasis Generator
Using the Stasis Generator causes two random hunting trophies to become active and attack players. Once the hunting trophies are defeated, Gortok Palehoof becomes active.
Stage 1: The Hunting Trophies
Stage 2: Gortok Palehoof
Gortok Palehoof unleashes a roar, inflicting Physical damage to all players and lowering their maximum health. This effect lasts for 30 sec., and stacks up to 50 times.

Loot

3. Skadi the Ruthless

The vrykul assign nicknames based on accomplishments. Cleansing a Drakkari bloodline or decapitating taunka might garner the appellation of "dutiful," but it takes a true act of depravity to be called "ruthless." Skadi earned his title long ago for relentlessly hunting down vrykul who sheltered the malformed infants, predecessors of humanity, condemned by Ymiron.

Abilities

Stage 1: Grauf
Skadi the Ruthless starts the fight by mounting his drake, Grauf. While mounted, Skadi will fly overhead and order Grauf to breathe freezing clouds onto players below. Skadi remains mounted until players fire three harpoons at Grauf by using the Harpoon Launcher.
Stage 2: Skadi the Ruthless
Skadi the Ruthless attacks all players within 5 yards in a whirlwind of steel that lasts 10 sec., inflicting Physical damage each time he spins. While whirlwinding, Skadi the Ruthless' movement speed is reduced by 50%.

Loot

4. King Ymiron

Proud Ymiron ruled the northern wastes until the vrykul's long slumber relegated him to insignificance. He regained consciousness to find that his wife had been murdered, his lands besieged by enemies. He has cast off his mortality and demands vengeance, eager to show the terrible resolve of an awakened giant.

Abilities

Gift of the Fallen Kings
When King Ymiron reaches 66% and 33% health remaining, he calls upon a fallen vrykul king to grant him a new ability. He retains this ability until he chooses a new fallen king.
Screams of the Dead
Whenever King Ymiron chooses a fallen king, he unleashes a bone chilling scream that stuns all players for 8 sec.
Bane
King Ymiron is surrounded with an aura of Bane, which inflicts Shadow damage to all players within 10 yards whenever he takes direct damage. This effect lasts for 5 sec.
Dark Slash
King Ymiron slashes a player, inflicting damage equal to half of their current health.
Fetid Rot
King Ymiron afflicts a player with Fetid Rot, inflicting Nature damage every 3 sec. and decreasing healing received by 25% for 9 sec.
