For those of you still unaware, if you read lore it will back me up.

Ner'Zhul is dead.
Arthas is dead.

Both died when Arthas put on the helmut and now only the Lich King exists. However he retains memories and feelings of the two who created him. ie Arthas' frozen heart. He can still take the helmut off because that's where he was bound, now released into the body of Arthas, a walking corpse.

Read a little lore before making ridiculous speculations.

In the epilogue of the book: Arthas - Rise of the Lich King, Arthas, after donning the helm of Ner'zhul, has a vision. The vision includes him, a Death Knight, Ner'zhul, and a child, at a table. The child approaches him at the end, and he figures out it represents his lost humanity. This is what made him always think of Jaina, his father, and anything else that made him human. When it walks up to him, smiling, offering that he make things right, he kills the child.

Ner'zhul is excited, and offers that Arthas and he work together. Arthas kills Ner'zhul as well, stating that he will not be ordered by anyone. So he ultimately becomes the Lich King. Him. He. Arthas. He is the Lich King, and no one else.

Maybe I mistranslated it, but that's how it seems to go down to me. He is still Arthas, though no longer burdened by human emotions such as love, or fear.

Just my speculations. :P

Do you forget what Uther says while talking to Jaina/Proodmoore while inside the Frostmourne? If the Lich King dies, all undead will go in a rampage destroying everything, someone must take his place. Who will that be tho? :) And the Lich King appreas to DIE only in HC mode.

Comentado por 105944

actually, blizz has been pretty spot-on keeping the gameplay, in terms of killing important characters as raid bosses, pretty lore friendly

for Instance:

C'thun: greatly weakened and was no where near as powerful as an Old God should be
Illidan: defeated with the help Maiev
Anub'arak: nothing in his lore suggests that he would be more powerful than 5 heros
Yogg: (see C'thun)
Kil'Jaeden: Was in the process of being summoned (you can't expect him to be on the top of his game)

As for the Lich King;
his death (if he does in fact die) will most likely be at the hands of Tirion, Darion, Jaina, Varian, and/or Sylvanas who happen to be bringing along 10 (or 25) of the most powerful heroes Azeroth has ever seen; the elite fighting force hand picked during the Trial of the Grand Crusader (lore-wise).

I fail to see the lore problems with that.

its fun to think that the lich king lord of the undead isnt even dead himself.. or atleast not according to lore since he never was slain by anyone but instead willingly took up frostmourne and donned the armor of the lich king^^ and killing doesnt really goes against lore.. remember how he react then tirion hits him with the ashbringer? because he is so evil to the core the ashbringer which is pure to the core actually does a great deal of damage to him, which leads to me believe that arthas has the upperhand until a certain point in the fight were jaina,variann,saurfang,darion,sylvanas,ironfacemeltedbolvar and tirion shows up to get their slice of the cake:3

Feral404.

You should also read the novel "Arthas" before commenting on the speculation of others.
Which apparently you have not, Arthas is NOT dead, NOR is Ner'Zhul. The lich king battles both his humanity in the form of a wasting away with illness boy, and the spectre of Ner'zhul. So they are still warring over dominance of his mind and soul.

Finally the lich king kills the boy, and then turns on ner'zhuul and says that he is all that is left. But Jaina who is nearby, as well as Aegwynn both know that there is something still wrong and that there is part of Arthas around and in terrible conflict. The only thing that gets referenced to the survival or destruction of Arthas after that is when Tirion (in WoW) confronts the lich king in Ice crown citadel and attacks his heart with Ashbringer and says "Arthas is gone, you are nothing but a monster"

And then Again when you are in the new Fall of the lich king Dungeons of ICC, when Uther speaks to Sylvanus/ Jaina (I assume, I play horde, so I apologize if it is not jaina) and tells her that there MAY be part of Arthas still that keeps the scourge in check.

Hell, Gul'Dan was killed, but his spirit still talks to Illidan because part of him survives.
Just because you do not have a body doesnt mean you are necessarily dead :p

As it is now though, there is no definitive proof either way about Arthas/Nerz'hul/ Lich King.

How much of them is in the body walking around in ice crown? How much of them is in the sword that took / was forged from the souls of them all? we don't know yet. And we won't till either the Ashen Verdict Destroys him, Kil'Jaeden comes back and is honest ... or We hear it from a Naaru or Sargeras themselves.

Comentado por Cthulhuftagn

Moodcow pretty much had it spot on, nice to see someone paid attention to Wc3 or the novels :D. He hired mercenaries to destroy the lordaeron ships so that they couldnt return home, even though King Terenas had ordered Arthaas to withdraw and get out of Northrend. Then Arthas said "Look! those mercenaries destroyed our ships. Kill them all" to use them as a scapegoat.

So, with the soldiers stuck there, and only arthas to lead them, they obeyed him. He and Muradin went to look for the sword. Muradin read the Kalimag (elemental language) script, announced it was cursed. Arthas didnt care, Elementals popped up and attacked, and said htey were trying to protect Arthas from the sword. Again.. he didnt care, he grabbed the sword, which caused Muradin to get killed. Went back to camp, and then everything went down hill. That is where he turned Falric and everyone else into scourge, went back to Lordaeron, killed his father, etc etc.. you get the idea of what happened by now in the game.

Lich King: I am the Lich King!
Peasant Woman: Well I didn't vote for you.
Lich King: You don't vote for kings!
Peasant Woman: Well how'd you become king then?
Lich King: The demon lord Kil’jaeden, wreathed in smoldering flame, encased Frostmourne and the soul of Ner'zhul in a block of ice from the depths of the Nether and cast it into Azeroth. Ner'zhul thrust out the blade whereupon I found it in Northrend, signifying that I, Arthas, was to carry Frostmourne. THAT is why I am king.

This will most likely be downrated, but who cares. Since Frostmourne is the blade that steals souls, its probably no mystery to everyone that Arthas soul was the first to be claimed by it right? YES! EXACTLY! Lets be honest here: None of you expected that Terenas or Uther would show up in 3.3 since most of you considered them dead, and none of you took into account something like "Spirit materialization" in front of Jaina right?

So probably none of you will take into account that Arthas soul (or part of it) is well hidden in the blade and no one knows abaut it?

Comentado por 363347

If is like it, if the Arthas' soul is hidden in the blade..but where's Ner'zhul?Wich part of body is Ner'zhul? I hope you read my post. If you didn't please read it. Ner'zhul said to the Arthas"now we're one!"soo that would probably mean Arthas and Ner'zhul are in the sword. After defeating The Lich King,their soul would probably be freed. Then, who will be responsible for the incoming expanison ...Cataclysm? Who will free the boss, how ever is gonna be called? It needs to make sence.

Blizzard has already confirmed that Frostmourne won't be obtainable by players. It's simply too powerful. It would devour your soul. Instead, we get Shadowmourne.

Frostmourne will probably be destroyed during or after the fight with Arthas -The promotional artwork for Patch 3.3 depicts the blade shattered into several pieces (though it's possible that's just symbolic and won't actually happen).

Comentado por 361385

For all of you debating the lore and who is/isn't the major personality withing the entity of the Lich King just think about this: Blizzard are bending it and fudging it to suit the situation in wow. Whatever outcome we get in wow can't have been decided upon when the lore was first written as back in the day there was no Argent Crusade or Knights of the Ebon Blade, the LK most powerful adversaries.
At the start the lore says Kil'jaeden imprisoned Ner'zhul's spirit in armour which was itself encased in ice and hurled it into the northern reaches of Azeroth with the task of weakening Azeroth in preparation for a second invasion from the Legion. So at the start Ner'zhul has nothing but then discovers he can control the dead with his mind, roll on the war with the Nerubians and the beginning of the Cult of the Dammed. Ner'zhul uses Arthas as a tool to break away from the Legion (beats Illidan) free his spirit from the throne and as a consequence their spirits merge.

Now even though Frostmourne was just a tool to capture Arthas Blizzard have suggested the sword itself may have a will and/or motives. The most annoying thing I find is the soul of Uther suggesting that there must always be a LK to hold control over the scourge and that the last fragment of Arthas is holding the scourge back from totally annihilating the world. Utter bs. If Arthas' remaining humanity has any sway over the scourge why has it grown at all since he became the LK and not just gone and turned in on itself? The scourge didnt exist until there was a LK and after he is killed it will be destroyed, only powerful liches and DK's can ressurect and reanimate the dead and once the LK himself gets destroyed its only a matter of mopping up the rest to finish the scourge completely.

And speculation on the new LK should another have to take Arthas' place, it's either Darion or Tirion and my money is on Darion

Arthas was a Chump dude! In lore he was always struggling to keep up with any of the heroes like King Wrynn for example. Arthas is only a vessel for ner'zul to corrupt and turn into his host. Their spirits become one but as you can tell ner'zul is the "presence" resulting from it.

Well, in reply to the comment that Arthas can't be holding the Scourge back because otherwise they would have been destroyed, look at it like this.

Arthas is holding them back. But he can't show his treason, because otherwise the Lich King (the combined entity) will know about it and stop it. What Arthas is doing is trying to get the Lich King killed. BUT, as he would know (he presumably has all the knowledge of the souls eaten by Frostmourne, there always will be a Lich King. The only way he knows of how to 'make' a Lich King is to force him to go through the same things as he did. That is why Darion will become the next Lich King.

Comentado por Joshmaul

Except the paladins that Arthas slew in Andorhal, as well as Arthas himself, were inducted into the Silver Hand by Benedictus' predecessor, Archbishop Alonsus Faol. Benedictus has only been Archbishop since sometime after that (probably shortly before the Third War, if the grave outside the Scarlet Monastery is, in fact, Faol's).

No, it's not. The scourge doesn't exist by itself. They are agents created by the magic of the Lich King, with the power infused by Kil'Jaeden in the ice of the Frozen Throne spire. To destroy both the controller (Lich King) and the source (Frozen Throne) might be the only way to prevent Scourge to wreak havoc in the world, as points Uther.

I think Bolvar may become the new lich king- it was shown that he is still alive in the intro to Icecrown Citadel- and he has gone through a lot as it shows. Possibly, if you're right, to make him ready to step up?

And then there are Jaina and Sylvanas.

I expect a huge fight between them AND the lich king with us at their backs.

I can see either of them as the lich queen, but like Ner'zhul's spirit merged with Arthas', possibly the same would happen with Jaina and Sylvanas.

For one, he's dead. Blizzard has returned people from the dead before, but this is friggin ridiculous. And certainly for a character that has to hold back the Scourge with the own virtue of his heart.

For another, he was turned by Arthas to the scourge pretty effectively. Why not take Bolvar, who managed to resist the psychic pressure of the Scourge, but Saurfang?

that's the ilevel for all the other raid bosses; the Lich Kings loot table will be slightly higher (as was the case with Maly and KT)

Don't be too sure yet. After Maly/KT, all of the other end raidbosses (Yogg-Saron, Anub'arak) had loot of equal ilvl to the rest of the raid instance, in order to prevent massive inflation because of hardmodes. Thats not to say the Lich King can't have higher level items, but its certainly not guaranteed or known yet.

There are four choices for the new Lich King, if Arthas truly dies here.

.After he weakens he will break the ice around the arena one big piece by one making the zone smaller as you have may seen the cracks if youve been to the frozen throne (or may have seen a video maybe?screenshots?) (cracks in the real one (the map shows it)
he will attempt some kind of kill spell triggering half of the 25man to be split-
Frostmourne Zone
Either Frostmournes Own Mind creation will appear and make the vile spirits attack you with the lore figures inside the blade
this means
Uther-
Terenas
Saurfang JR (His soul was taken inside the blade, Obviously his body was ressurected without a soul) will help you heal and such to attempt to help break frostmourne and the platform will only be a piece left, basically youl destroy the platform as i have seen in model viewer, a soul piece of the platform (like a part of the flying ice platform)
when frostmourne breaks they will join with the main lore figure who will take up the crown after the lich king has died Deathbringer Saurfang/Bolvar
Edit: the lich king might not die.., he may just be defeated as of all the last stand quest shows that the sister blade is most as powerful as frostmourne was/ if you clash ashbringer/shadowmourne into the lich king it might result as him of being destroyed in a temporary state
either that or he might die
4th Edit:Frostmourne May Be controlling the lich king, Think about it, Mind Platform? it may be possible, Frostmourne might be its own mind
The frozen throne is also destroyed after the ice is cracked, because you attack the throne mainly somehow and the spire behind the throne on top will crack and fall off the platform (blizzard made this obvious by the way the throne is right now on top of the citadel) the throne is destroyed also turning the circle platform into a arena where he dies in the circle, also the runes deactivate (they glow)
thats all i have to say this is only a prediction of some sort O.o

Speculation: connection to Cataclysm since how could the fall of the "Lich King" thousends of
miles away wake up Deathwing and the wars and attacks didnt?

my guess on that one is that deathwing awoke because he lost track of lots of powerfull beings in the world that could defeat(malygos, lich king etc.) and "decided" that it was the perfect time to wake up and strike once again

just pure speculation though

Comentado por 441877

ok, here's just a few ideas
-Everytime a player dies Frosmourne devours his soul and he respawns as a ghost, the ghost will then follow the original casters rotation and the person is not ressurectable =D
-When you kill the Lich King, Frostmourne will drop as a chest, first person to right click it and pick it up becomes lich king and then the raid needs to kill him (yes...again...)...jk but DO HAVE FROSTMOURNE BE AN AVAILABLE DROP make it nearly impossible to get too

And an observation
When in WoW press Shift+Y look for dungeons and raids under fall of the lich king. See how all bosses say (Boss name) kills, like for Lord Marrowgar, Lord Marrowgar kills, etc. Now look at what is says for the lich king, it does NOT say Lich King kills, it says Victories over the Lich King.

In reference to Mixter and Serra Terra, if there were to be a second CoT involving Arthas, it would most likely be you helping him become the Lich King, or at least to get to Frostmourne, due to the whole "space-time collapse" that was brought up, it would be a logical event that the Infinite Dragon Flight would try to mess with and it would make a great story driven instance. Not necessarily likely, but its possible.

Technically, even if the Lich King is no longer corrupt because of the fact that he was replaced with a clear minded and righteous person, he would still have forces.

I have read through all the post here and I dont understand why everyone keeps misquoting the Arthas: Rise of the Lich King book. Come on people the very last paragraph of the entire book starts with:
I, Arthas the Lich King will not share the power and glory.

Arthas didn't just fad away like the orc did. When he killed the little boy in this dream state, he was ridding himself of the last shred of his own humanity. He got rid of his ability to love, grieve, and fear. He became evil totally. He no longer would do something evil and then feel bad about it. He wouldnt remember the love he had for Jania and his father. Arthas is the Lich King, he was not absorbed by some higher power, he is the higher power.

In my opinion it won't be Tirion Fordring that will become the new Lich King, i think it will be more of Bolvar Fordragon, I don't think you know this but after Putress kills everyone at the Wrath Gate and then Alexstrasza has a discussion with Korialtrasz and she says in draconic (you could understand draconic thanks to a bug in 3.0.2)

Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: Ashj zila gul kirasath lok ante il lok buras danashj Gul gul

which actually means :

Alexstrasza: They must not discover the fate of the young paladin. Not yet.

So i think that means he isn't dead yet and remember, he survived the attempts of mind control of Yogg-Saron and the tortures (and all the other stuff) that the Lich King made.

From the WOTLK installer:

Entering Icecrown Citadel, Arthas merged with the Lich King, their spirits and powers becoming one. A new Lich King ascended the Frozen Throne.

From WoWWiki:

The Lich King is the master of the Scourge, composed of the souls of Ner'zhul and Arthas Menethil, existing within the latter's body.

Bottom line is that Arthas is not dead, nor is the old Lich King (Ner'zhul), both of their spirits live inside Arthas' body.

Also, Arthas says "Father... is it over?" when you defeat the Lich King, so he was still alive in there.

The man awoke.
A man in armor,
Full plate, black,
Held a sword in his hand,
his grip slack.
The sword, runed,
seem to glow.
The commoner leaped to his feet,
prepared to fight,
but instead, was filled with fright.
The man was Arthas, the Lich King,
Full of might,
the destroyer of all,
The Enemy of the Light.
The sword rose,
then sank deep,
The man impaled.
An innocent life,
taken without guilt,
a body destroyed,
a mind obliterated,
but the soul intact.
The soul,
Food for the sword.
Frostmourne Hungers.

EDIT: spelling.

After the death of Arthas a new man will take the crown and this man is Bolvar. He was already going to die but took the crown and told Tirion to forget all this who happen and never let any one know. He told Tirion to leave and never return. But somthing happen to the crown. It burns. It is verry strange. I belive that this have some thing to do with the Cataclysm or the red dragonflight. Because normally it would change the color to blue as it did to Arthas.

Who knows?

Comentado por 538478

The fate of Highlord Bolvar Fordragon is now clear and confirmed. He did indeed (as we already know) survive the battle at the Wrathgate. Being tortured by Arthas, Bolvar still refused to become his servant and champion.

After the death of Arthas Menethil, Tirion was ready to take his place as the new Lich King in order to keep the Scourge at bay. However, just before he put on the Lich Kings' crown, a familiar voice shouted out to him.

Highlord Bolvar Fordragon, engulfed in fires still burning from the purification of Alexstrazas' red flame that was used to cleanse the Wrathgate, called out to Tirion. He convinced him to put the helmet of the Lich King on his head instead. Bolvar also told Tirion that none must know what truly went down in Icecrown Citadel that day, as if people were to realize that a Lich King was still alive, they could not avoid to live in fear and panic for the rest of their lives.

Refusing at first, Tirion finally did what Bolvar asked him to. The eyes of the Lich King opened up once again, covering Bolvars'. The soul of one of the mightiest beings ever seen on Azeroth had corrupted a man who was pure at heart and true to all he believed in. Bolvar sealed himself as the Lich King in a block of ice and told Tirion to leave and never come back. This was the only way that Bolvar could aid the world now. He would forever keep the Scourge away from Azeroth.

The man who did something so great for the world he loves would be forgotten to cover up the existence of the Lich King. The man who boldly put the crown of the Chill of the Damned would do so without anyone knowing. And by the years he would always protect his beloved world in silence.
Though no one would ever come to realize it, know that the end of the Scourge didn't come without a price. The world would've been destroyed if it wasn't for him.

Even though his existence was meant to fade always remember Highlord Bolvar Fordragon. A man who always wanted the best for his people and home. A hero till the end of his own days.

Always remember Highlord Bolvar Fordragon - The Lich King.

No, not really. In fact it makes no sense at all. If the scourge is so deadly as a rampaging horde then frankly the Lich King should have struck by now. Rampaging horde backed up by just a little coordination should equal win. However I can buy that the Lich King has been biding his time, willing to wait until victory is certain. It seems reasonable, the guy is immortal after all.

However what I cannot buy is this idea that without the will of the Lich King holding them in check all scourge would go on a mindless rampage. Sorry it just doesn't hold up. Thrice times have we seen scourge freed from their masters will (Forsaken, Battle for Lights Hope Chapel, and Shadowvault). Never have they become mindless monsters that tore across the landscape killing all in their path.

I have a final problem with this scenario. WotLK has given us a few chances to interact with dominated scourge. They have always come across less as mindless automatons driven by one iron will and more as an intriguing mix of different personalities. Simply put the scourge appears to have a culture to equal any other race on Azeroth. I feel this is most obvious with the abominations. They share characteristics first built up with their forsaken counterparts, naive, friendly in a dim way, slow but loyal. Ignoring their appearance they come across as quiet lovable. But it goes further then this, from Drakuru's ghiests skiving off work to his well-mannered butler giving you a guided tour.

Far from becoming a greater threat I see a released scourge more likely to want to find a new place in a world once again opened up to them. Of course I can see many reasons Blizzard wouldn't (even couldn't) play it this way. I'll still march on the Lich King and loot his corpse, but I'll be ignoring this particular story going on in the background.

Goodluck, you'll definately need it. :S

Well, it looks like scary ammount of health, but do not forget that both the alliance and the horde get an aura from their leader presence. Horde: Hellscream's Warsong & Alliance: Strength of Wrynn, which grants you 30% increased health, healing and damage done.

That eases the pain fighting this legend.

Doesn't make any sense really. If the Lich King has so large armies that uncontrolled they'd destroy all life, how come those armies don't prevent players from killing him?
On the other hand, if he doesn't have enough forces to prevent the players from killing him, how could those undead then destroy all life? Uncontrolled forces are easy prey for organized fighting forces.
Likely all high ranking minions gain their free will back if the Lich King dies, no? If they do, they'd likely (assuming they want power and/or are twisted) take control of a partition of the uncontrolled forces, they're likely to fight other warlords. In such event, allied Horde and Alliance (even if it is loose alliance) could beat them.

Of course if players somehow sneakily avoid all the armies, like they seem to be doing...
Seriously, realistically such powerful, god-like king like the Lich King would make sure nothing can defeat him. Especially when the minions are mindless and he seems to be above foolish pride and honor.

When Kil'jaeden cast Ner'zhul's icy cask back into the world of Azeroth, the hardened crystal streaked across the night sky and smashed into the desolate arctic continent of Northrend, burying itself deep within the Icecrown glacier. The frozen crystal, warped and scarred by its violent descent, came to resemble a throne, and Ner'zhul's vengeful spirit soon stirred within it. From the confines of the Frozen Throne, Ner'zhul began to reach out his vast consciousness and touch the minds of Northrend's native inhabitants.
The term "Frozen Throne" literally applies to this crystal, about the size of a tauren in full armor. Kil'jaeden crafted the original from ice in the Twisting NetherWRPG 28 (which was massive — probably about the size of a decent castle) to house Ner'zhul's (now the Lich King's) soul. The harsh entry into Azerothian airspace and the impact with the glacier greatly reduced its size.

Illidan Stormrage was charged by Kil'jaeden with destroying it, and to this end recovered the Eye of Sargeras and brought it to Dalaran. Illidan and his Summoners used the Eye, combined with Dalaran's natural magical energies, to send devastating earthquakes to destroy Icecrown and the Frozen Throne. The intervention of his brother Malfurion, his former jailer Maiev Shadowsong, and Prince Kael'thas stopped Illidan from succeeding, and he fled.

Kil'jaeden ordered a second attempt and so Illidan, along with his enemies-turned-servants the Blood Elves and Lady Vashj with her Naga, personally invaded Icecrown so that Illidan could smash the Throne in person.

Illidan again failed, and Arthas smashed the Throne — releasing Ner'zhul's spirit and forcing the two to merge into the new Lich King. "Frozen Throne" now most nearly means the remnants of the crystal that Arthas physically sits upon, as an actual throne.

From what I have seen, it looks like even if you wipe, there is a chance for survival. This is purely speculation, but I think that even if you all die, Tirion and Terenas' spirit will resurrect you, while incapacitating the Lich King (for a period of time, perhaps?). During that time, you get to just burn the boss without him striking back.

If you look at the second video on this page you can clearly see that after the scripted mass wipe one death knight who died before it was in fact not raised by King Terenas, but battle ressed shortly after.

Comentado por intuit

he released. From the looks of the video, once you get him below 15% hp he enrages and runs around one-shotting people for a few seconds. After he killed a few people, he cast fury of frostmourne and wiped out the rest of the raid with massive damage. Looks like a scripted wipe - part of the encounter. Once you get to the point where he enrages and starts killing everyone, you have won. Once you get rezzed by the NPC, it's like the final few % of archimonde (basically a free kill).

What people fail to realize is that the characters you are all playing are all considered "heroes". In Wintergarde Keep, a gnome speaks of the oncoming players from Outland as if they were gods on their way to help defeat the scourge threat. While you may not like to admit it, the players in this game are supposed to be a force to be reckoned with.

Back at 60 it took 40 people to take down some of the most powerful beings in the game, and it took months of practice to do it right. At 70, we all became more powerful, and the threats weren't as much of a challenge. Karazhan was a good entry level with a 10 man raid, but you can't honestly say that getting through SSC, TK, and BT were walks in the park. You had to become powerful to take them down.

Now at 80, with all of Outland and Kalimdor/Eastern Kingdoms behind you, you plow into the final areas. You have killed countless powerful beings. To think that you took NOTHING away from that is just stupid. The players of this game are very powerful heroes and people refuse to acknowledge this. The Lich King may be strong, but he isn't invincible. The heroes of Azeroth and The Outlands will show him that.

Comentado por 230590

what, i'd probably expect a disenchant roll from Jaina at least

Comentado por 230590

at least he went gracefully, beautiful cutscene, and didnt leave any holes in the lore

anyways... not sure why so many people have a problem with the lich king/arthas's death

from a gamer and someone who also does some pen and paper role playing, everything has stats, and depending on whats against what, it may not always seem like a one sided fight to someone else, especially a group against a single threat

is he powerful? yes
is he immortal? yes
is he invincible? no
he can and eventually will be destroyed

even in wow, a level 40 character may as well be a god to a level 1, virtually untouchable, same with a 40 to a 80th, the difference is glaring, but since we are able to even land damaging attacks and tanks not die from his attacks then he is not too far from level 80... some people dont even fathom what being level 80 even means... like compared to deathwing, arthas may not be much of a challenge

so lets put some things in perspective first as to how our heroes have progressed

at level 40 or so at the latest, players are doing things that would be impossible for common folk, not exactly people, but compared to people in the wow universe, setting the players aside as heroes... able to run immensely fast, avoid/block attacks from half a dozen attackers at once without a scratch, survive being frozen or incinerated, able to come back from death, and take on things so big that they would squash a normal person in one blow

at level 60, players wielded spells and weapons that were capable of taking out dragons (nerfarion), collosal elementals (ragnaros), and lesser/weakened gods (hakkar/c'thun)... the players armor and gear also empowered them to levels where they could do these things

at level 70, players wielded spells, armor and weapons that could destroy the greatest demons in existence (magtheridon, illidan), a naaru which is a dimension-traveling race of sentient energy beings (m'uru), and players experience and regularly using time travel (caverns of time), they are even renown among many of the greater powers in the world

at level 80, players wielded spells, armor and weapons that could kill the very aspects, protectors and creators of their world (ulduar and vault), an elder god (yogg-saron, aka Yog-Sothoth of cthulhu mythos), leaders of the dragon flights (malygos, but if he can die, so could alexstraza), and the most powerful undead and probably largest army in existence... even npc factions are capable of the same, just look at the zul'aman and zul'drak trolls harnessing if not killing the very gods they worship

and to further narrow things down, not every hero can stake their claim, only the best outfitted and experienced even get far enough to face these challenges at their level, many die trying, some of which may be even more powerful than those that took down the lich king but have no interest in doing so (the other half of heroes that value the horde or alliance higher than world's issues, aka pvpers lol)

so, how is it not possible for 10/25 epicly geared level 80's to beat what we know as a level 83 boss? his stats are terrifying but still killable, it also helps that you also have outside assistance from Tirion, Jaina, Sylvanas, etc, like the fight with Illidan... he may be powerful, but there is still a long line of powerful beings before the heroes eventually rise to the top, provided players naturally live that long to become gods themselves LOL

@qket

are you really saying that you want THIS MADNESS back?

because believe me, 40man raids were hell at the time, they felt more like jobs than actual games, as it is coordinating 10 morons is hard, doing so with 25 is extreme, making it happen with 40 requires the madness shown on that vid (wich believe me that's how most raids had to be managed back then)

10/25man with their respective heroic modes are more than adequate thank you very much.

and to say that the lich king should be invincible unstoppable almost like a god is a really naive way to see this game, because by your logic, every boss should be unstoppable, at least kil'jaeden (who created the lich king in the first place) should be unstoppable, malygos (who created frikking magic) should be as well.

bad-guys are there to be stopped, implementing a bad-guy that allways wins and will WTFPWNs your raid every time is not fun, if you don't believe me, run a poll asking players if they would love a boss that 1shots their raid all the time, with no chance whatsoever to kill him.

"Wielder of Frostmourne will become the new Lich King." so will be lots of them....

at blizzcon09 they specifically said that no frostmourne would drop ever, and frankly that's a godsent gift from them, I am glad the weapon is never going to the hands of players (during the fight it gets shattered and utterly destroyed)

there is only 1 and only 1 disapointment I have with this fight.

we don't get a quest-starting item to bring to a leader so we can have a little speech and reward.

with hakkar we looted his heart and turned it to that troll in bootybay, with nefarian/onyxia we looted their heads and turned them to varian/thrall, heck with algalon we looted his repply code and turned it to rhonin.

I was hoping we had the chance to loot the broken handle of frostmourne or the lich king's chestplate, and turn it to a leader (varian for alliance, Thrall for Horde, or Rhonin for neutrality's sake) then this leader does a small speech signaling the defeat of the lich king, and displaying the broken handle of frostmourne or the chestplate of the lich king on the city for all to see it.

=/ that is the only disapointment in this otherwise epic and fantastic fight-.

The Lich King

3 Phases with a Transition Phase between 1-2(70%) and 2-3(40%).

When the Lich King reaches 10% Health he will cast Fury of Frostmourne, killing all players and rendering them unable to release their spirit or resurrect.

15 Minute Enrage Timer*

If the effect ends (it expires, host dies, or is removed with a spell), the plague will jump to another target. If the effect is removed with a spell, the plague will lose a stack; if the effect expires or the target dies while affected, it will gain a stack. Whenever the plague jumps, the Lich King will gain a stack of Plague Siphon.

Infest : Inflicts 6,598 to 7,402 Shadow damage to the entire raid. In addition, affected targets will take increasingly higher Shadow damage every 1 second, starting at 1,000. Secondary effect is removed when the target is at more than 90% health.

This will be cast every 20 seconds.

Summon Shambling Horror : Summons 1 Shambling Horror.

This will be summoned 20 seconds into the fight.

This will be cast every 20 seconds.

Defile : Inflicts 3,000 Shadow damage to all players in the targeted area. Every time a player takes damage from this, Defile's damage and area increase.

This will be cast every 30 seconds.

Soul Reaper : After 5 seconds the target will tank 50,000 shadow damage and the Lich King's damage will increase by 100% for 5 seconds. Cast on current tank.

Summon Val'kyr Shadowguard : Summons 1 (3 in 25 Man) Val'kyr Shadowguards over 5 seconds. These Val'kyr will grab a random player and proceed to drop them off the throne to their death.

This will be cast 20 seconds after the Transition Phase (1-2).
This will be cast every 45 seconds.

Phase 3 Abilities

Defile : Inflicts 3,000 Shadow damage to all players in the targeted area. Every time a player takes damage from this, Defile's damage and area increase.

This will be cast every 30 seconds.

Soul Reaper : After 5 seconds the target will tank 50,000 shadow damage and the Lich King's damage will increase by 100% for 5 seconds. Cast on current tank.

Harvest Soul : Inflicts 7,500 Shadow damage every second for 6 seconds. If the target is still alive after the channel is over, their soul will be transferred to Frostmourne.

This will be cast 15 seconds after the Transition Phase.
This will be cast every 75 seconds.
Healer PoV of Frostmourne

Vile Spirits : Summons 10 Vile Spirits.

After 20 seconds the Vile Spirits will become active and pursue players. If the Vile Spirit reaches a player it will use Spirit Burst.

Pain and Suffering : Inflicts 2,828 to 3,172 Shadow damage to enemies in a frontal cone, as well as an additional 500 Shadow damage every 3 seconds, stacking up to 5 times.

Raging Spirit : Creates a copy of the player with 2.66M health that must be tanked immediately.

Will cast Soul Shriek periodically.

Summon Ice Sphere : Summons 1 Ice Sphere.

Ice Burst : Inflicts 9,425 to 10,575 Frost damage to all enemies within 10 yards, knocking them back. Used when the Sphere reaches its target.
Ice Pulse : Inflicts 5,000 Frost damage over time. Has 5 yards range.

For those who have watched the videos and denounced the fight as appearing simple - do not be fooled.

The Lich King will test your raid's awareness, reaction time, and sheer capability of maintaining absolute maximum DPS, healing, and tanking proficiency throughout the entire fight. And make no mistake, this is a very long fight with a HUGE number of ways to wipe your raid. A very long fight, and well beyond the 10 minute mark.

Good luck, we've been waiting a long time for this.

MMO-Champion just posted, with screenshots, the HP pool of The Lich King in both Heroic modes.

In 10 man Heroic, he has 25.7 million HP (MMO-Champion screenshot).

In 25 man Heroic, he has 103.2 million HP (MMO-Champion screenshot).

This means the Lich King (in his strongest form: 25 Heroic mode) has the most HP of any fightable mob in-game, and second most HP of all NPC's in-game, second only to Alexstrasza the Life-Binder (in The Eye of Eternity and at the Wrathgate).

Tho you may think that arthas doesn't exist and neither are Nerz'hul, and in some way you're right. You see they fused their soul and body and then some simple math..... Arthas Menethil + Nerz'hul = The Lich King

In one way both of them are there but in another a new creature was born when they fused their souls.

I dont remeber where this next part where taken from but somewhere i remember someone said the following, "The little shred of Arthas that's left in The Lich King may be the only thing that keeps him from destroying the whole of Azeroth." (correct me if im wrong). Now i don't know if Nerz'hul thinks that we deserve our land destroyed but simply Arthas thinks not.

Now there's something about Arthas make's me think that from the very first beginning Arthas only thought he did what he had to do. Example's: If Arthas didn't purge the city Stratholme then Mal'ganis would've had multiple reinforcements to play with, and if he didn't pick up the frostmourne then he would'nt have killed Mal'ganis. By the way when he picked up Frostmourne then something happened within him. "tho the one that wields the blade shall have power eternal, so must it scar the spirit." arthas didn't care of the "death" of muradin because he was blind to the revenge of his people and he just claimed the frostmourne. "so must it scar the spirit" one less shred of arthas. He wielded that blade since the day he picked it up, and he's soul must have been transformed ALOT. Next time when he picked up the crown of the lich king he also had to share his body with Nerz'huls spirit.

Now some of the last of he's words after he lost Frostmourne and lost the crown: "Father!......Is it over?" i think during the process he went through with frostmourne and the crown he was tormented in some way and couldn't belive he acctualy was freed. He maybe was tormented in such way that he didn't want to slaughter his people and was terrified by what he did. That is at least my way to see upon the lich king and Arthas. Hope you'll find this information insightful.
