Ulduar

Overview

History

Ulduar is an ancient titan city in the north of the Storm Peaks. Beneath its halls lies the prison of Yogg-Saron, an ancient god whose influence has corrupted the keepers charged with watching over the city: Hodir, Thorim, Freya and Mimiron. Adventurers must cross the city, free the keepers from this hold and descend to Yogg-Saron's prison. Farther on, Algalon the Observer, an envoy of the titans, has come to judge Azeroth.

Access

The entrance is in the north of the Storm Peaks. The raid exists in a 10-player and a 25-player version, each with its own loot, and is restricted to level 80 characters. To face Algalon the Observer, you must first defeat Hodir, Thorim, Freya and Mimiron in Hard Mode.

Hard Mode

Most Ulduar bosses have a Hard Mode, triggered during the fight itself: leaving towers active, destroying a heart, keeping a boss alive until the end, pressing a button… Hard Mode makes the fight more dangerous and adds items to the loot.

Loot

In 25-player mode, each boss can also drop a Fragment of Val'anyr, a piece of the legendary mace.
