History

One of the greatly malevolent and ancient entities known only as “Old Gods”, Yogg-Saron held chaotic tyranny over the world of Azeroth in its very distant past and was responsible for the creation of the Curse of Flesh to “facilitate assimilation” of the Titans’ creations. When the Titans waged war against the Old Gods and shattered their citadels, they found that the entities’ infestation had grown so severe that destroying the Old Gods would also lead to the destruction of Azeroth. Instead, the Pantheon took measures to neutralize the power of the Old Gods and to bind them within Azeroth for the remainder of its existence. Yogg-Saron was sealed away within the depths of Ulduar in the far northern reaches of the infant world, and had six watchers assigned to it which served as wardens for its near eternal imprisonment; the Titanic watchers known as Loken, Thorim, Hodir, Tyr, Mimiron and Freya.

Despite the power of the shackles the Titans placed on the Old God, Yogg-Saron’s influence has been felt throughout Azeroth’s history, including during some of its most pivotal events. The dark whispers of Yogg-Saron eventually proved capable of overtaking the mind of its prime warden Loken, who was then able to subdue the other watchers, facilitating any possible escape Yogg-Saron might attempt.

During the Yogg-Saron encounter in the Ulduar raid, three visions are shown to players which represent key moments in Azeroth’s history; strongly implying that Yogg-Saron is directly linked to these events somehow. These three visions include the assassination of King Llane by Garona Halforcen (which caused the fall of Stormwind at the end of the First War), the creation of the Dragon Soul by Neltharion and the Dragon Aspects during the War of the Ancients (which resulted in the first Sundering of the world), and a vision of the Lich King torturing Bolvar Fordragon (the man who would become the new Lich King after the death of Arthas Menethil). During this third vision, Yogg-Saron’s voice is heard to proclaim: “He will learn– no king rules forever! Only death is eternal!“, a prophecy of the Old God that would come to pass with Arthas’ defeat by the Ashen Verdict, and the words of which are eerily repeated by the spirit of king Terenas Menethil as his final words to his dying son.

Yogg-Saron also was the source of the corruption which befell the world tree Vordrassil when its roots grew too close to the Old God’s prison^. The ancient druids growing Vordrassil destroyed the tree immediately upon discovering the sheer power behind the corrupting influence, however the taint nonetheless continued to spread to the Grizzlemaw Furbolgs who would come to inhabit the tree’s stump ages later. They became murderously insane soon after settling within Vordrassil’s remains, and began attempting to regrow the afflicted world tree. The Furbolgs also used the corrupting power emanating from the tree’s stump to resurrect the bear god Ursoc, who returned to the world a viciously twisted reflection of himself.

Overview

General Vezax is one of the few bosses in Ulduar that don’t change phases. He will remain the same during the entire encounter, which makes the fight against him relatively easy to learn, compared to other bosses. His hard hits and the specifics around the mana regeneration during the encounter makes him a test for tanks and casters. Melee DPS have easy time for once.

There are few things to watch out during the fight. People outside melee range might be targeted by Shadow Crashes – these need to be avoided until they land, after which ranged DPS can enter the puddles left behind for extra damage and reduced mana cost. Healers should avoid those at all cost.

Mark of the Faceless is the other debuff to watch out for. Anyone affected with it should run away from any nearby players, since they heal Vezax.

Searing Flames should be interrupted every time, and Vezax should be either kited during the Surge of Darkness, or his damage should be countered by a defensive cooldown.

In addition to all this, Vezax’s Aura of Despair will eliminate almost all mana regenration from the fight. Check the Abilities section for details which spells work. Mana users will need to destroy the floating Saronite Vapors and stay in the green puddles left behind to replenish mana. Keep in mind, the buff damages the caster as it restores mana, so more than 5-6 stacks might, and usually are, deadly. Melee DPS won’t have such trouble, but their attack speed will be reduced by 20% by the aura.

Gruul the Dragonkiller is the gronn overlord of the ogres of Outland, ruling with an iron fist. He earned his “nom de guerre” (and the emnity of Sabellian) after slaughtering many members of the black dragonflight who had come to Outland in order to aid the Horde of Draenor.

Gruul is the final boss of Gruul’s Lair in the Blade’s Edge Mountains. He drops Tier 4 Leggings tokens. He is the father of seven Gronn: Goc, Gorgrom the Dragon-Eater, Grulloc, Maggoc, Slaag, Skulloc Soulgrinder, and Durn the Hungerer. He has about 3,375,000 hit points (Patch 2.4.3), although with Patch 3.0.2 this has been reduced by 30%.

This boss is also part of (what used to be) the Serpentshrine Cavern attunement quest The Cudgel of Kar’desh. This quest requires two signets. One of which, the Earthen Signet, drops directly from Gruul. The other, the Blazing Signet, drops from Nightbane in Karazhan. Serpentshrine Cavern no longer requires attunement as of June 20, 2007.

Teron Gorefiend, formally the leader of the death knights, is the fourth boss in Black Temple. It is somewhat of a damage race as more damage is done to the raid as time goes by so healers won’t be able to keep up with the damage done to the raid after a while.

The Shade of Aran is a boss in the abandoned tower of Karazhan. He is the spirit of Nielas Aran, the father of Medivh, killed in a battle to contain the future Guardian when the power inside him awakened. How his spirit became trapped inside his son’s tower is unknown.

Aran is located in the Guardian’s Library in Karazhan. He must be fought in a very small arena which is a circle approximately 45 yards in diameter. He is completely untankable, almost never melees, doesn’t have a standard aggro list, and if he is pulled away from the center of his arena he’ll run right back.

Shade of Aran is an optional boss. However, after he is defeated, a teleport to his room becomes available from Berthold <The Doorman>, and all trash mobs from The Curator to Aran (exc. one pack outside Illhoof’s door) cease to respawn.

M’uru is a fallen naaru and former guardian of Tempest Keep. He was captured by Kael’thas’ blood elves and taken to Silvermoon City. After his defeat in Tempest Keep, Kael’thas and his felblood minions captured M’uru from Silvermoon and took him to the Sunwell Plateau, presumably to drain his power and aid in the summoning of Kil’jaeden. He thus represents the fifth encounter of the instance.

Possible origins of name

M’uru’s name is possibly derived from the early writings of Tolkien. In some early drafts, the evil spider goddess Ungoliant was called Múru in the Quenya language. (Many see this as a pretty unlikely connection, a coincidence at best.)

Kil’jaeden the Deceiver is a powerful eredar demon lord and is the acting leader of the Burning Legion. Selected twenty-five thousand years ago as the chief lieutenant of Sargeras, he was ranked above the now-deceased demon lord, Archimonde. While Archimonde had led the Legion’s armies, Kil’jaeden’s agenda was to assimilate every race possible into the folds of the Burning Legion. Since the apparent banishment of Sargeras, he has assumed the role of supreme commander. He is also notable as the creator of the Lich King.
