Icecrown Citadel

Overview

History

Icecrown Citadel is the Lich King's fortress, at the heart of Icecrown. Highlord Tirion Fordring leads the final assault against the Scourge there. Heroes fight their way up the citadel hall by hall, face the Lich King's mightiest servants and climb to the Frozen Throne to battle him in person.

Access

The entrance is in Icecrown, inside the Lich King's citadel. The raid comes in a 10-player and a 25-player version, each with its own loot, and is restricted to level 80 characters.

Heroic Mode

Heroic mode unlocks once the Lich King has been defeated in normal mode, in the same raid size. Each boss has more health, hits harder and adds abilities to the fight, and the loot has a higher item level.

Loot

In 25-player mode, Deathbringer Saurfang, Professor Putricide, Blood-Queen Lana'thel, Sindragosa and the Lich King also drop marks used to obtain tier set pieces. In 25-player mode, every boss can also drop a shard needed for the legendary axe quest.
