Obviously a reference to the theme song to "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."

Kommentar von Maliander

This is a timed event (and also defined as being the hard mode): Kill Hodir before he smashes the first loot cache on normal difficulty (after about 3 minutes).

Kommentar von Talamare

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suite case and send me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.

First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.

But wait I hear there're prissy, wine all that
Is Bel-Air the type of place they send this cool cat?
I don't think sow
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightening, disappeared

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab is rare
But I thought 'Now forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

In the Hodir encounter, the time to complete the hard mode has been increased to 3 minutes. (This will be applied during maintenance beginning with North America on Tuesday May 5.)

Kommentar von Fastgr

We were doing it normal way on 10 man and after we kill him after 4:30 minutes he bugged somehow and we got the achievement and the loot ofc.. :)

We wiped about 5-6 times at Hodir (10) last night and when we actually killed him, I got a Shiver down the spine.
Not really sure about the time it took us to down him, but most of us agreed that somehow it was bugged. Anyway we got the achieve, one conquest emblem and for me one more option for tank weapons.

done this twice now on 10 man. here is what we did:

one MT (protection paladin)

fury warrior
moonkin
moonkin
lock
lock
hunter
shadow priest

holy paladin
resto shaman

the vast majority of a prot paladin's threat is based in magical dmg. so in terms of keeping ahead of the casters paladins do very well on this fight. our shadow priest was consistently between 12 and 20k tps and didnt have to worry.

here are the main points to observe during the fight.

1. assign one member (for us it was a moonkin) to focus on keeping up the singed debuff...losing this is a big dps drop before youc an build it up again.
2. make sure the person with the crit dmg increase buff stands still as much as possible. utilising this buff is very much needed.
3. mark the mage add, and the shaman add (not the ice block they are in) with a clear symbol such as a star or orange circle and make sure the whole raid is focused on breaking them out first after a flash freeze, in order to keep the fires and crit dmg buffs up, but also because the mage helps break out the other npcs.
4. use savers and cooldowns to keep the raid and tank up during frozen blows. with only 2 healers and a tank with no frost res gear on it does hurt on 10 man. we were using paladin bubbles and empowered auras on a rotation. this was so effective i didnt see anyone go below 75% hp for us.

this is a relatively straight forward fight, but reminds me a lot of malygos 6 minutes in terms of being very reliant on buff control and usage.

hope this helped and good luck to those that try it :)

Our strat:

Prot paladin

2x Elemental shaman
Arms warrior
Spriest
Lock
Mage
Hunter
Unholy DK

Resto druid (me)

At the very start, we freed the mage and shaman, then clumped all around fires. After Flash Freeze we only freed the mage, and during Frozen Blows both shamans tossed around Chain Heals. I solo healed the rest of it - if your group dodges icicles and stacks on fire, there's very little raid damage. Killed in 2:43.

Most of these posts involve having a paladin MT, I'm trying to explain this with a Warrior as MT

As a Warrior in the current patch (3.1.2), your frontload threat sucks compare to other Tanks (especially if you have lucky parry and dodge). On top of this, I also used 3 pieces of Frost Resist for Resist cap to help out with healing. This means not expertise softcap nor hit cap, low strength and block value. Even with all this it is still possible to tank this as a warrior.

Setup:
Warrior MT

Ret pally
Fury warrior
Combat rogue
Moonkin
Fire mage
Shadow priest
Survival Hunter

Holy Priest
Holy Pally

As you can see, we don't have Bloodlust/Heroism from a Shaman. As others suggested, you break the mage on first priority, the shaman second. In the beginning, break all NPCs. After the first Flash Freeze, only break the Mage and Shaman.

As a warrior you benefit HUGELY from the shaman's storm cloud (whoever gets it will do a /yell emote) if you spec into impale and deep wounds. When that happens, your shield slam could still potential crit up to 16k. This is your frontal load of threat. Mocking Blow is used on cooldown in case someone have a burst of threat and somehow went over 130% of yours (if that happens Taunt immediately to try to "steal" their aggro before Mocking Blow's gone). I also position so that all dps (especially melee) get to use spotlights all before the 1st Flash Freeze) so I did not get the GCD reduction from this to hold threat. Tricks of the Trade and Misdirect were also helpful (especially Tricks).

We had both the mage and shadowpriest keeping up the singe buff, we (the horde) also use /tar Veesha /tar spirit to mark the mage and and the shaman before the encounter to break them out asap. We had around 20 seconds left when we finished it. Besides me, nobody else used any Frost Resist. The priest was on raid heal, and paladin was mostly on me and glyph of holy light on melee (or whenever casters get in melee rage for the crit stacking).

Benefit to this is very little tanking healing needed as I shield wall the first frozen blow, last stand/enrage regen the second. Elementary elements to this encounter become very important. People should not get Flash Frozen, people should not get hit by falling icicles, and people should not go nuts without watching threat meter. I ended up with only 6-8k TPS, with occasionally 13k TPS in the beginning or whenever I happen to chance a storm cloud from a healer or a caster.

Hope this helps the other Warrior tanks out there.

My group has done this twice now. Our set up:

Prot Paladin MT
Fury Warrior
Ret Paladin
Boomkin
Arcane mage x2
Warlock
Hunter
Elemental Shaman
Holy priest

Our poor holy priest is our solo healer, except when it comes to Frozen Blows; Shaman helps with heals when that occurs. Prot Paladin wears a few pieces of frost resist to help with the damage and to lessen the healing burden.

When the fight starts, free all four NPCs as quickly as possible, starting with the mage. The mage helps with the others, but when you first start off, getting them all out quickly is imperative. Since the group is range heavy, we try to get the Storm Power buff up on one of them quickly. Melee attempts to stay inside the light columns for the haste buff. We try to ge the toasty fire buff up on the Hunter, since he can stack it quickly. We blow Bloodlust once we have 4 storm power buffed DPS. Once the Flash Freeze hits, you only really need to free the mage NPC; she's pretty good about freeing the other NPCs.

The holy priest focuses everything she's got on the MT. MT judges light for the extra healing, and the Shaman DPS's until Frozen Blows. Once he does that, the shaman starts throwing heals out on the raid. First time we had 10 seconds to spare, second time we had 20 seconds. Good luck, it's a fun achievement!

Just something I wanna clarify from the guys who've done this, the Storm Cloud buff from the Shammy hits one member and is then spread (and diminished per stack) whenever he touches someone else right? So was it more effective to have it stay on one dps or to spread it around?

Now this is a history all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And id like to tell a tale just site right there
I will tell how did i became a Death Knight in the Ebon Hold floating in the air

In old hearthglen born and raised
On westfall is where i spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
Slaying some murlocs outside like a fool
When a couple of undead said were up in no good
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and the Lich King got scared
He said you're moving with Darion and Rivendare up there in the air

I begged and pleaded with him the other day
But he packed my soul on frostmourne and sent me on my way
He gave me my order and gave my ticket
I put my helmet on and said i might aswell kick it

Runeblade yo, this isn't bad
Drinking souls out of a water glass
Is this what people in Ebon Hold livin like
Hmm this might be alright!

I whistled for a griphon and came near the Lich King
He said something about Light's hope chapel
If anything i could say that man was rare
But i tought forget, yo homies to Light's chapel

I pulled my horse to a chapel about seven or eight
And i yelled to the lich king, yo home smell you later
Looked at the chapel i was finally there
Fighting as a Death Knight for the Ebon Hold in the air

We starting fighting, screaming and bleeding
Slaying, doing the killing for the lich King
When some Tirion Fordring who were up in no good
Started making trouble in my battlefield
Darion Morgraine got in one little fight
And got scared
He said Settle Down Death Knights, we lost for ebon hold in the air
The Lich King showed up right away
But Darion threw Ashbringer and sent Arthas on his way

Betrayed yo, this is bad
Slaying patchwark in that ring of glass
Is this what people in Ebold Hold will live alike
Hmm This might be all right!

I whistled for my griphon and got my letter
And went to that old leader of mine
Darion said it would be better
I pulled at the capital about seven or eight
Looked at the Kingdom i was finally there
To settle down Arthas' Throne, bringing vengeance to the Ebon hold that floats in the air.

Tried it tonight...

Caution: DON'T TRUST DEADLY BOSS MOD!

We had 3 seconds left to go on the DBM timer...didn't make it. (We were about 9 seconds to slow. (Damn you shaman with 3k dps! :-P ))

So to be on the safe side..aim for ~ 2:50 on the timer.

I could say that this cache was
*puts on sunglasses*
Rare.
YEAAAAHHHH!

Soloed as an Affli Warlock with Voidlord.

Tactic:
Boss should be tanked by a Voidlord. Hard Mode requires to kill Hodir within 3 minutes. There are 4 NPCs frozen in Ice Blocks, who can be freed by attacking the Ice Blocks. When freed, they will help you by attacking Hodir, casting spells to help you and providing beneficial buffs. To succeed you need to be always near the Starlight (beam) or Toasty Fire (campfire). In this fight you'll often run due to the Ice Shards falling from the ceiling and Biting Cold aura, so Kil'jaeden's Cunning talent is very useful here (I forgot to change talents -.-'). Unbound Will talent is very useful for dispelling Freeze (immobilization for 10sec similar to Frost Nova) after Flash Freeze (NPC, which removes it, will be frozen in Ice Block). When Hodir starts casting Flash Freeze, large icicle will begin to fall. The area where this icicle will fall is immediately marked by a mound of snow and a large white targeting circle on the ground. You should get next to, but NOT inside this large circle as soon as possible. After several seconds the large icicle will crash into the ground causing damage to anyone in the circle and knocking them 30 yards away. After the icicle has hit the ground, you have only a couple seconds to run into the circle where a large icicle has just fallen. Any NPCs who are not in large circle will be frozen in an Ice Block by the Flash Freeze (yes, you too). NPCs in Ice Blocks should be freed immediately prior to resuming dps on Hodir (I use DoTs). During Frozen Blows minion will need more healing. Good Luck and Have Fun!

For this achievement you need to kill Hodir within 3 minutes. At 110 this should not be a problem - you can just oneshot him. He will then turn friendly and disappear. I found there was a slight delay after this (just a couple of seconds) before I got the achievement.

Hodir's loot is in two chests - a brown one on the left (Cache of Winter) and a blue one on the right (Rare Cache of Winter).
