Rage Winterchill - first boss of Battle of Mount Hyjal

Posted Apr 28, 2007 at 4:50AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Titles, News Tags: Blizzard, Burning Legion

Looking back at the last events of Warcraft III, the Battle of Mount Hyjal was the last stand of the Alliance, Horde, and the night elves against Archimonde the Defiler and the rest of the Burning Legion (hence The Burning Crusade). In the World of Warcraft, it's the last instance of the Caverns of Time.

Razzaa from the World of Raids Forums reported that they met the first boss of Mount Hyjal, Rage Winterchill the Blood Lich, on the Public Test Realm (PTR). According to the poster, the event was pretty buggy as they even had a problem starting it. After some help from a Blizzard GM, they were finally able to start and were met by Rage Winterchill. They were able to get him down to 87%, unfortunately that's when the waves of trash wiped the party.

They noted that Rage Winterchill's hp was about 2 million and has a Death & Decay spell (Area of Effect AND Damage over Time). If you're curious about just how many bosses there are in the instance, there isn't any info yet. But if the World of Warcraft version of the Battle, then it might be safe to assume that there will be four: Rage Winterchill (Lich), Anetheron (Dreadlord), Azgalor (Pit Lord), and Archimonde the Defiler (Warlock).

Wait, aren't Rage Winterchill's bones supposed to be red?
