Patch 3.3 will present Icecrown Citadel, an expansive raid similar to the length of Ulduar.

The raid will feature around 12 raid encounters including the fight against Lich King himself at the summit of the instance atop the Frozen Throne.

Bosses Include

Lord Marrowgar
Lady Deathwhisper
Alliance/Horde Gunship Battle
Deathbringer Saurfang ..*gulp*
Rotface
Festergut
Professor Putricide
Blood Prince Council
Blood-Queen Lana'thel
Valithiria Dreamwalker
Sindragosa
The Lich King

Similar to the Crusaders Coliseum, the raid will feature:
10 man normal/10 man heroic
25 man normal/25 man heroic

Blizzard confirmed at Blizzcon that the instance would reuse the waypoint teleport system introduced in Ulduar and that players would interact with Tirion Fordring and the Argent Crusade/Ebon Blade forces aswell as your own faction leaders.

It is currently unclear whether there will be another raid added between the release of Icecrown Citadel and Cataclysm, but with the defeat of the Lich King all loose ends and stories within the WotLK expansion should come to a close.

Lich King's Chief Medical Officer: He's dead, Tirion...

Tirion Fordring: /dramaticheadturn

The raid doesnt have 14 bosses it has 12. And the faction you help is the Ashen Verdict which is the combination of The Argent Crusade and The Knights of the Ebon Blade. Its gonna be like the new Black Temple and will be release before Cataclysm.

Kommentar von 282300

From many ptr videos, ICC will feature many "Mini Bosses" along with the standard raid bosses.

i saw on maps a floor called frostmourne.what is that actualy?i saw that is a way to reach there so i think that we will use the teleport system of ulduar.can somebody tell me more about frostmourne hall?

Kommentar von 242565

is there going to be any kind of Bolvar encounter, or, maybe, he'll be a part of other encounter?

Kommentar von zapiks44

Item level loot from Icecrown:

10 man normal: 251
10 man heroic/ 25 man normal: 264
25man heroic: 277

Kommentar von 436187

if your really going to be frank about "how many" bosses there are, there are actually 14, but 3 of them are in the same encounter.

Kommentar von 133487

There is a teleportation-system much like the one in Ulduar, except this one has a super-cool iceblocking animation, when you use it.
The bosses drop 2 each in 10man normal (don't know for others yet).

Kommentar von 301983

If anyone hasn't noticed Icecrown Citadel changed in 3.3,it became fatter and taller,just compare old screenshots with the new ones and you'll see the differences

Is there a FP around this place?

This gun dropped from a trash pull in 10 man normal ICC.

I didn't see it listed as a zone drop, so I figured I'd report it here?

Kommentar von 436033

Icecrown Citadel has arrived!

I haven't done this, except for the first room. But what I do know about that first room is be prepared for the unexpected. By unexpected I mean giant skeleton's coming outof nowhere! They are called Deathbound Wards. About 1,600k health on normal if I'm not mistaking. They casts disrupting roar every now and then, which stops your casting and prevents you from casting anything in that school for a few seconds. I'm not sure how much of the instance these guys are in, but if you hear a yell "I am... awakened!" or "The masters Sanctum has been desturbed!" or something to that affect, get ready for them. Other then that, the first room before Lord Marrowgar is generally easy. The fights include creatured called "The Damned", "Servents of the Throne", and some nerbuian i forge the name of ( :D ). The Servents use a spell that shoots ice spikes out of te floor in front of them (much like the Gormok the Treeshaper fight in Nexus) and the nerubians use the Nerubian signiture Crypt Scarabs. This first room also has a repair, the Ashden Verdict vendors (including Quartermaster) and a Dalaran port. Oh by the way, Tirion and Arthas yell at eachother, along with BOLOVAR FORDRAGON! Who remembers him dieing at the Wrath Gate? Well Arthas says "My new champion has resisted for so long, but soon he shall be mine" (or something like that) then Bolovar yells "NEVER! I WILL NEVER SERVE YOU!".

Thats aboutit for first room, after that I have no idea. But some other stuff of ICC...

Bosses...

~Storming the Citadel
-Lord Marrowgar (Commander of Scourge forces)
-Lady Deathwhisper (Leader of the Cult of the Damned)
-Gunship Battle (An epic battle between the Skybreaker (Alliance) and Ogrim's Hammer (Horde)
-Deathbringer Saurfang (He died at Wrathgate along with Fordragon, but he wasn't so lucky...)

~The Crimson Halls
-The San'Lyn; Kelesth, Thalanar, Valanar (Blood Prince Council)
-Blood Queen Lana'thel (Queen of San'Lyn)

~Plagueworks
-Rotface (Abomination, weird looking)
-Festergut (Abomination, weird looking, same model as rotface)
-Proffesor Putricide (Proffesor, trying to create plague capable of obliterating all life on Azeroth)

~Frostwing Halls
-Valthiria Dreamwalker (Kidnapped from Green Dragonflight, beeing experimented on)
-Sindragosa (Queen of Frostbrood)

~Frozen Throne
-The Lich King (You better know who this is)

Those are the bosses, now for the bad news...

Those of you who are all, YEAH LETS GO KILL LICH KING!, he isn't here yet. Blizzard is releasing ICC wing by wing. At the moment only Storming the Citadel is out. By march 2010 We will be able to kill the Lich King, so more waiting :'(

Thats about it. The last thing I have to say is that the Lich King DOES die, he doesn't teleport off at 1% health. Which I'm happy about :)

Bolovar is not an encounter.

I've just done it on my alt (druid tank emblem/toc10 geared) and so far first 4 bosses are free loot... (10 man)

Hey

What is the actually the DPS requirement for this raid (or it's parts)?

Kommentar von silverd

There's currently a problem with the ICC area and the summoning stone due to the area's phasing. Members who are in different phases won't see each other or the portal outside.

Kommentar von 299053

There is a phasing problem at the Icecrown Citadel summoning stone at the moment because not every player have completed the questchain that takes place below the Citadel itself.

The first quest in the chain:

Exploit an Opening (alliance)
Opportunity (horde)

This quest is given from Thassarian on the Skybreaker for alliance and Koltira Deathweaver on Orgrim's Hammer for horde once the player have completed the questchain to take over The Shadow Vault (alliance) The Shadow Vault (horde) in the favor of the Knights of the Ebon Blade, a questchain wich in turn starts with It's All Fun and Games (alliance) It's All Fun and Games (horde). Once the Shadow Vault is in the possesion of the Ebon Blade, you will be able to do 1 of the 2 quests mentioned above, depending on your faction.

Completing the questchain up to Return to the Surface (alliance) or Return to the Surface (horde). (although, there is a possibility the phasing issue will be gone once you've completed the second quest in the chain, Securing the Perimeter, or Establishing Superiority. But you'll miss some good lore if you skip the rest of the chain, should the phasing issue be gone at this point.)

The quest you mention, and which many players belive cause the problem is Battle Before the Citadel, but this quest will only phase you at the courtyard, and the phasing will only take place if you have the quest in your log, so abandoning it or completing it will remove the phasing.

As you know by now, it's a rather complex procedure to remove the phasing issue at the summoning stone if you've not already done most of the quests in Icecrown.

I hope this clarifies.

Kommentar von 33195

Been brutally maimed over, over, and over again by means of Deathbringer Saurfang? Have no fear, the doctor is here!

First, I'd recommend using a Rib Spreader first in order to avoid Bloodfall Trauma before starting the rather difficult Lungbreaking and Heartpiercing surgery. Saurfang is infamously noted to crush the chest in a whirling rage, resulting in both heart and lung disfunction. Hopefully you performed the surgery flawlessly, unless you want to give your subject some Last Words before failing to do any of the previously stated, thus inducing Rigormortis and the subject seeing the Dying Light, resulting in the location of a far away, Distant Land.

Kommentar von 202062

When teleporting into upper spire, DO NOT walk forward immediately. The blue steam will isnta-gib you. Pretend you're playing Mario and wait for each smoke to clear before stepping forward to wait for the next. If you have a rogue, have them look at the left hand wall, just past the first smoke emitters and there's an "inconspicuous switch" they can trip to turn off the smoke machines. Move forward at your leisure.

Kommentar von Xdoom

I would like to comment that if you don't have rogue to see those traps that trigger Deathbound Ward in Icecrown Citadel, and no warlock to use the Eye of Kilrogg, you can use Crashin' Thrashin' Racer Controller. I used it and i was able to trigger the traps far in advance.

Kommentar von HandofDeath

i believe in icecrown citadel the lich king fight will be like the ulduar one, you have a faction leader that wants to defeat the lich king to choose from,Darion,Saurfang,Muradin if not those last 2 then Jaina and Sylvanas.
this is just my guess.

Kommentar von 445357

I put together a set with all the heroic 25 gear from this place, and with the right enchants, gems and prot warrior spec on an orc, you can have over 40k health. heres the link:

The song "Lament of the Highbourne" plays as background music in The Crimson Hall in Icecrown Citadel - appropriate, with the area being populated by San'layn (ex-Highbourne 'vampires').

Kommentar von 322706

I have a question regaurding raid progression that I can't seem to find an answer to anywhere... perhaps someone can answer it here for me.

When ICC was released, there were blue posts stating that each individual had to progress through the raid in order. IE you had to complete the Lower Spire before moving on to the Plagueworks, and so on...

What I'm confused about is whether or not this has to be done each week, or only once. For instance, I've finished the Lower Spire and have the Achievement, but next week do I have to do it again before proceeding to Plagueworks, or can I just join a group that happens to already be there? I have to pug everything because my constantly changing schedule prevents me from being in a solid raiding guild.

Along with this, I have a similar question....

Let's say this week I go through Lower Spire with one group, and we quit for the night.... in the same week, am I able to join up with another group for the Plaqueworks as long as I didn't move in to it with the first group?

Any help with this would be great.... I'd love to kill the Lich King eventually, but if I can't do the wings with different groups, I dont think that will be a possibility for me...

Thanks!

Kommentar von 194778

if your on the crushridge server you have to have the achievement to even get in with a group....

Kommentar von PotatoKing

I realy don't quite get why these bosses are here, in ICC. I was really expecting some lore wise (although the Deathbringer/Saurfang the Younger was okay) characters like Kel'thuzad and Anub'arak again or something or Falric and Marwyn (In the raid instead of the 5-man). Those guys were more awsome and had more lore than the new characters in Icecrown Citadel... I mean ICC is too epic and had lots of lore on it. I know blood-queen lana'thel is the queen of the san'layn but there was nothing much about the san'layn, there are not too many of them and does not have that MUCH lore on them. Lady Deathwhisper is one of the co-leaders of the cult of the damned but that's it. Sindragosa is the consort of Malygos and probably the most strongest of the frostwyrms (unless LK somehow finds out how to raise Malygos as a frostwyrm! :O ) but that's probably it. Was really expecting more in Icecrown Citadel than this.

My question is similar to kalizt's.

For instance, I've finished the Lower Spire and have the Achievement, but next week do I have to do it again before proceeding to Plagueworks, or can I just join a group that happens to already be there? I have to pug everything because my constantly changing schedule prevents me from being in a solid raiding guild.

I've cleared 1st wing like 3 times already. And killed Festergut once. My question is, supposing im Raid Leader, everytime ICC resets i need to do all 1st wing bosses again or can i jump to 2nd wing directly, since i cleared 1st wing before (and have the achiev)?

Kommentar von Rankkor

to answer your question......

yes, you have to clear the place out every time, this raid works like any other raid, after the reset, all trash and bosses reset, and you must clear it from the start again.

progresion order is like this:

Enter the lower spire, kill trash, kill marrowgar, kill more trash, kill deathwisper.

Enter the elevator, kill more trash, do the gunship battle, and kill Deathbringer.

after this point, you can choose wich wing you wish to clear first, the choises being Plageworks (with festergut, rotface and putricide) or Crimson halls (blood-princes, and blood queen) or Frostwing halls (sindragosa, Dreamwalker)

these 3 can be cleared in any order, and once all 3 are cleared, you can go to the frozen throne and kill the lich king.

now, as you clear each wing, you get access to teleporters (as in if you wiped on the plageworks, when all the raid enters the instance again you don't have to walk all the way up there, just take the teleporter and get to the plageworks at once)

and this works for all wings on this site, however, these teleporters just like the bosses and trash, reset every tuesday.

this is the same mechanism for ALL raids that have multiple bosses, to prevent people from zoning in, killing the last boss and leaving.

in naxxramas you had to clear each wing (construct plage military and spider) before unlocking saph's wing and then only then you can enter kel'tuzad's room, and this must be done every time you go to naxx regardless of how many times u've cleared the 4 wings in the past (they nerfed it slightly, you can access saph's wing without clearing the other 4, but you still need to clear the 4 wings to kill kel'tuzad)

Likewise in ulduar you must clear the siege of ulduar, then the antechamber, then the keeper's ward, and then yogg's prison.

it would be really game-breaking that after clearing all wings of ICC; from that point foward you can just zone in and kill the lich king skipping all other bosses and trash.

if something like that was posible, then nobody would bother to kill the lower bosses and jump ahead to the last boss, thus breaking the experience of clearing the zone.

((of course, that being said, in a future expantion, older raids get nerfed, allowing the players to skip bosses if you want to, on SSC you can go straight at vashj, in TK you can go straight at kael'thas, so maybe in a couple of expantions into the future, players will be able to skip some wings of this place, just as it can be done in older raids))

Kommentar von Rankkor

any one else think there will be another raid since we dont know when cata is coming out?

blizzard has already stated that no more raids will be released till cataclysm.

Do take into consideration that from the release of Naxx40 (back on vanilla) to the release of the new expac Burning crusade, more than 6 months and a half passed.

and from the release of the Sunwell in TBC to the release of WOTLK more than 7-8 months passed.

we don't know how long will it be till the release of cataclysm, we DO know that it's on 2010 (Blizzard's CEO Mike Morhaime has stated that they intend to release the expansion sometime in 2010)

we can expect a waiting time of min 6 months or max 9 months till cataclysm hits the stores.

mastering ICC25 heroic will take more than that for the average guids, so there will be plenty of stuff to do in the meantime.

I do believe that more patches could be released from here to cataclysm, to patch gradually the changes to azeroth, but as far as raids and instances goes, Frozen halls, and ICC are the pinnacle of 5man and 10/25 man content in this expantion.

Edit: well I'll be damned, it seems blizzard loves to go back on their word, first they promise every expac will have a hero class only to have cataclysm have none, then they swear that ICC will be the pinnacle of raiding in WOTLK, and it seems that was a lie too.

Patch 3.3.5 is confirmed to host a new raid called the Rubi sanctum, a place in the same style as the obsidian sanctum where we face against the twillight dragonflight.

so yhea........ this will not be the last raid in WOTLK.

The only bosses to have a background lore before their introduction here were Sindragosa, Blood-Prince Council, Blood-Queen Lana'thel, and Valithria Dreamwalker. Lore-wise, Tirion's champions attempt to fight the Lich King, but are all killed by a single attack. Tirion saves them, and finishes him off.

------> Item levels in level 80 raids as of 3.3.3 <------

Naxx 10: 200 (213 for some bosses)

Naxx 25: 213 (226 for some bosses)

The Obsidian Sanctum 10 (no drakes up): 200
The Obsidian Sanctum 10 (one drake up): 200 and one additional 200 item
The Obsidian Sanctum 10 (two drakes up): 200, one additional 200 item and one additional 213 item
The Obsidian Sanctum 10 (three drakes up): same loot as with two drakes up, and a mount and a title

The Obsidian Sanctum 25 (no drakes up): 213
The Obsidian Sanctum 25 (no drakes up): 213 and one additional 213 item
The Obsidian Sanctum 25 (two drakes up): 213, one additional 213 item and one additional 226 item
The Obsidian Sanctum 25 (three drakes up): same loot as with two drakes up, and a mount and a title

The Eye of Eternity 10: 213

The Eye of Eternity 25: 226

Ulduar 10: 219
Ulduar 10 (hardmodes): 232

Ulduar 25: 226
Ulduar 25 (hardmodes): 239

Onyxia's Lair 10: 232 (class restricted helmets)
Onyxia's Lair 25: 245 (class restricted helmets)
*note* the Helmets dropped by Onyxia are re-colored Tier 2 helmets.

Trial of the Crusader 10: 232
ToCr 10 (heroic): 245 (with a tribute run item level of 258)

ToCr 25: 245
ToCr 25 (heroic): 258 (with a tribute run item level of 272)

and the 5-man instance Trial of the Champion: 200
Heroic Trial of the Champion: 219

And as of 3.3:
Forge of Souls, Pit of Saron, and Halls of Reflection on NORMAL mode: 219
Forge of Souls, Pit of Saron, and Halls of Reflection on HEROIC mode: 232

The three above instances are unlocked by doing this quest.

Icecrown Citadel 10: 251 (258 for Lich King loot)
Icecrown Citadel 10 (Heroic): 264 (271 for Lich King loot)

Icecrown Citadel 25: 264 (271 for Lich King loot)
Icecrown Citadel 25 (Heroic): 277 (284 for Lich King loot)

And in 3.3.5 (?), 'The Ruby Sanctum' will be released, and Blizzard has stated that it will be a lot like The Obsidian Sanctum, with the difficulty of Icecrown Citadel, so I'm guessing:
The Ruby Sanctum 10: 251

The Ruby Sanctum 25: 264

Sorry for the wall of text :|
