As of build 8885:

When you walk up to this boss and his dragon, they will fly up into the air and start a gauntlet-style event. Waves of enemies will fill the path and more will appear perriodically, charging down the passage towards you. As this happens the dragon will constantly go "bombing runs", spraying the area with frost which ticks for damage every second if you stand in it.

Certain enemies which spawn periodically will carry harpoons. Any player may click these to pick them up, then, when the dragon is "in range of the harpoon guns" (you will get an on-screen alert to this fact) click a gun to fire a harpoon at the dragon. Once the dragon hits 0 hp Skadi will dismount and jump back up onto your platform to fight.

Most notable ability of Skadi is that he'll start doing a whirlwind style attack but can continue to move while doing so, and cannot be outrun. The attack lasts quite a while and may be targetted at a random party member, although I'm not sure of this. Either way running from the whirlwind won't work if you're the one he's chasing.

Note that this encounter can bug out and Skadi will lose his dragon but fail to leap up to the platform. When this happened to us we want back into the frozen creatures room and did that boss instead, and by the time we were done, the Skadi event had reset, allowing us to try again without resetting the whole instance.

Later in the instance Skadi reset yet again which can be a hassle if you wipe to the last boss. The door to the next area stays open luckily but you still have to run the gauntlet at least once to get to it.

The whirlwind can be outrun - it needs to be, it's very difficult to heal through on heroic otherwise.

Eye of Skadi should be a drop lol

Commentaire de 221073

in norse mythology, Skadi the Huntress was the goddess of hunting and winter. Thus the ice vrykul model.

Commentaire de Kalx

Drops an Blue Proto-Drake in heroic, drop chance still to be found, but probably 1% like every dropped mount as of now.

Skadi's weapon is recolored, but uses the same model as Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros from Molten Core.

Commentaire de 187464

Its the same color as Sulfuron Hammer whuch is needed to craft hand of rag

It's a shame he doesn't drop his eye so that my auto-attacks slow people.

If you wish to try to complete the 2 associated Achievements with this boss, it is a good idea to pre-farm the harpoons as not enough will drop during one pass to bring the dragon down.

Run to the end as if you were doing the fight normally, fight near the brazier until at least 2 of your DPS have 4 Harpoons each (tanks and healers will be too busy to harpoon the dragon). Once you have farmed your harpoons, run back to Palehoof's room (dropping Earthbind/frost trap if you have them) once all the party is well in Palehoof's room the event will reset.

When starting the event for real, the tank grabs everything in the gauntlet and runs it up to the brazier at the end, picking up the pack there, then holding all the mobs and picking up new ones spawning in the doorway. DPS do light AoE and watch for the dragon getting ready to make a pass. The 2 harpooners should be between the left and right harpoon guns, and the middle gun, ready before you get the Blizzard raid warning, to prevent being netted by the adds away from the guns.

Once the dragon is in range spam click your gun, and if it is on cool-down, click the middle gun (strafing slightly may be required to reach the gun). You will need to make five or six hits before the dragon moves off to bring it down.

Once Skadi is down the fight is pretty much as with normal mode, clean up the adds quickly and nuke the boss. Periodically Skadi picks a random secondry target to whirlwind towards, on heroic this whirlwind is fatal to all but plate classes, so people need to keep an eye on Skadis target and be ready to run away. Don't be afraid to use most of the hall to kite him down, but do not enter either Palehoof's room, or the exit to the rest of the dungeon as this will cause a reset.

Getting this right will bag you https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/achievement=2156, and if your DPS is good enough https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/achievement=1873.

This boss does THE most overpowered whirlwind in the entire game. Also he does a poison DoT on 1 person, this does serious damage on heroic, it's like the rogue's poison on Illidari Council. Basically, have everyone stand at maximum range from the tank on this, so further down the hallway, and start running when he whirlwinds. You can bring melee, but they need to be REALLY careful they don't get killed by the whirlwind

Commentaire de franzie

My heroic group's strategy is as follows:

An ideal group is a pali or warrior tank, with as much aoe classes as you can cram in. Usually we do it with a druid healer, mage, hunter, and the fifth spot is up for grabs. Melee isn't so hot for this guy, but if your healer is good it'll be fine.

I (warrior tank) runs to about 3/4's of the way down and picks up the 8 or so mobs there, then aoe starts. Once those mobs are mostly dead I pick up the rest of the mobs at the top, making sure the group stays close to me so I can use my Imp. Shield Reflect on shadowbolts. Pick up the rest of the mobs and T-clap/shockwave, then dps the mobs. Once the dragon is down, its easy mode. Avoid the whirlwind and dps, then the boss dies pretty quickly. This boss is disarmable.

Commentaire de 56217

Found this boss to be completely retarded on heroic. can grab the 1st 8 or so in one pull just run straight through the boss and grab them as they come running down. once you get to the end, its impossible to hold aggro and aoe anything because you get netted every 5seconds and the mobs all run away to throw spears at you in every which direction. We finally managed to get the boss down, with about 5 adds still alive. and then the WW raped the group. lame.

I strongly suggest farming harpoons and resetting the event before giving it a real try on heroic.

Commentaire de 254107

The WW isnt random, it goes for last harpoon person.

Commentaire de masseur

Alright this is what my group did ( warrior DK Holy priest Boomkin and Shadow priest) On heroic we started the event, killed the first wave and ran into that room all the way at the end where it leads into the other room, and the frost stuff cant get you, even if your on left or right side. Now DPS the adds, and if you kill them fast enough like we did you are able to drink. We drank until we had enough Harpoons and then went out WTFPWNT him and just watched out for whirlwind and kited him back and forth till he died.

Commentaire de 50907

Tanks, you can taunt him during his whirlwind aoe. So if one or more of you rmates can't escape it, just hit your taunt and go where you want him to go.

Commentaire de 25747

Strategy (Heroic)

Phase Zero: Farm Harpoons; Setup Positions
Start the event and stay back behind the first set of pillars - you should be beyond the range of his ice breath attack. Stay here and farm Harpoons off of the Ymirjar Harpooners until the party has at least five. One will arrive in every even numbered wave.

After getting five or more Harpoons, run back into the previous room to reset the encounter, and quickly run back out after the mobs despawn. Run all the way down the corridor to the harpoon guns and eat, drink, and be merry until the boss spawns again. Now, set the ranged party members on the edge of the corridor with the harpoon guns next to the railing, where they'll be out of harms way from the frost breath. The tank should stand in the doorway that the waves spawn out of.

Phase One: Kill Adds; Fire Harpoons
Once the group is ready, send one of your members (preferably one that has weak AoE potential) down to start the event from back side of the boss. Once the event starts, the tank should aggro all the mobs and DPS should AoE them down. Once the adds are down to a reasonable amount, fire off all the harpoons at the drake before he does his icy breath (note that the cooldown on the individual guns is short enough that you should only need two players on harpoon duty to take him down before he does his icy breath).

Phase Two: Tank and Spank
The tank should pick up the boss quickly and DPS should finish off the adds then focus on the boss.

Crush
Poison Spear: He throws a poison-tipped spear at a random party member, which deals considerable damage.
Whirlwind: Every 20 seconds or so, he does a whirlwind that deals moderately high damage (8k with 22.5% reduction, ability in DB doesn't reflect this) every second and follows a random party member with it at what feels like 100% speed on Heroic.

Not a very melee friendly fight, thanks to the whirlwind. Ranged DPS is invaluable here.

Commentaire de Klikster

Just so everyone knows, we realized that he fires two Poison Javelin things before he Whirlwinds. So on the second Javelin / Arrow thing, melee (aside from tank) might wanna start runnin'.

Commentaire de 112924

rogues,warriors and MM hunters disarm this boss and he won't cast whirlwind, something that makes this heroic boss one of the easiest in the game.We had an MM hunter cast chimaera shot on a scorpid sting spamm and voila, no whirlwind and just that easy javelin dispell festival.

Commentaire de clavarnway

Warriors, you can Disarm him.

Commentaire de 146730

Have to say I agree this boss is one of the hardest fights in heroics. As warrior tank I even grabbed every add in the gauntlet at once on a couple of occasions. But the combination of being netted, ranged adds not coming within tclap range and the frost on the ground (usually in a good spot to camp so u can tclap ranged adds) spelt death. Holding agggro was insane here even on attempts when we killed all the initial adds at once from the start. Usually by the time Skadi came down the group was in poor shape with either health or mana and quickly finished us off despite me kiting him and yo-yo taunting his whirlwind. This fight really is a nightmare on heroic even though some ppl say it is simple. (garbage)

Commentaire de toastmaster7727

This fight is relatively complicated but not difficult once learned.

When the fight begins, Skadi the Ruthless will mount his proto-drake and fly up into the air, beginning a gauntlet style event. Your party must work their way about 150yd up a hallway fighting 4-5 waves of 5-6 Frost Vrykul each.

While you are fighting through the gauntlet, Skadi will fly over on his drake and cast frostfire on the ground in long strips. Standing in the fire does ~3k a second.

Ymirjar Harpooners will drop harpoons that stick in the ground. Party members need to loot the harpoons along the way.

When you reach the end of the gauntlet, there are three harpoon guns mounted on the edge of the keep. Occasionally you will see the emote that "Skadi is in Range of the Harpoons" and a party member, who has a harpoon, needs to use the harpoon gun.

After 4-5 hits with harpoons, Skadi's drake will die and he will dismount. From this point on the adds stop spawning and it is essentially a tank and spank. He has an ability that does ~6k damage to the tank and stuns him for 2 seconds. Skadi will also occasionally cast whirlwind, which hits for ~2k, and target a random party member. The targeted party member must kite the boss away from the rest of party to reduce overall damage taken.

Commentaire de Excrucio

Easy tactic to deal with this boss.

Step 1: Agro the guanlet event.
Step 2: Run back into the 5animal boss room
Step 3. Get a hunter/warlock to use their pet/eye of killrog to check out the event.
step 4: Once the event despawns (it will cos your grp izzint there) RUN all the way to the safe room.
Step 5: Once at the safe room wait for the boss to reappear at the start of the guanlet
Step 6: Get a hunter/rogue to agro the boss and sprint back to the safe room
Step 7: AOE the insane number of mobs spawned.
Step 8: Pick up Harpoons and deal with the boss as usual.

Been doing it this method on heroic with a grp of 2hunters 1 Mage 1 warrior tank, 1 druid healer.

-Tips bring alot of AoEing classes,
-Bring at least 1 hunter for the aspect of the pack so u can move faster when the boss has despawned

Hope this has helped someone.

Commentaire de Interest

If you have trouble dodging the deep breaths that Skadi's Dragon, Grauf, does, have someone make a pair of /rw macros that declare the safe sides or the unsafe side (I personally declare the safe sides). Though anyone can make and use these macros, it helps to have a dps, a ranged dps especially, as they are less preoccupied than the tank or healer, to make and use these macros.

Ever since I made these /rw macros, I have seldom seen a wipe on the Gauntlet phase.

Commentaire de Airwokker

Tip for resto shamans on heroic.. dont use earth shield when running the gauntlet. If it ticks right after the magic users/ranged spawn they aggro straight to you which makes things alot tougher on the tank than it needs to be considering it's pretty easy to heal without it.

Commentaire de 275496

The best way to kill this guy if your having trouble is the "Reset Trick"
So here goes, 4 of your group members stand in Palehoof's room, whilst one runs out and aggro's Skadi causing him to fly off, the one member that left the room then runs back into Palehoof's room, after all waiting in here for 10 seconds or so run back out to where Skadi should be, you will notice there are no mobs, all 5 group members should then run to the harpoon guns and enter the small space inside the building where the mobs start spawning, once here have 1 Dps run back outside and SKadi should have respawned and be stood at the end again with his proto-drake, have the 1 dps go and aggro him again, at this point EVERY mob that should spawn when he flies away will appear in this room, so the tank has to pick up 40 or so mobs, if your tank and healer are good enough his should be no problem though, AOE these down and collect the harpoons, having 1 dps assigned to harpooner, the rest of the group all stay in there until Skadi has landed as you also cannot be hit by the ice breath if you are far enough inside, once Skadi lands kill him like any other boss, and one more tip, when he is whirlwinding towards a group member that is not your tank, the tank can taunt him and e will begin to WW towards the tank instead which is useful if the ank is at range as the WW duration will usually be over by the time he reaches the tank.
Enjoy killing Skadi the ruthless the easy way.

Advice on normal for a first timer group (and the non-godly geared):

Skadi is the most dangerous boss in this instance, but with a little strategy he can be downed no problem. The most dangerous element of this whole fight is definitely the whirlwind, but the tank can strand the boss in between players with a little positioning.

We never tried the resetting approach to get everyone down at the end, but it sounds pretty doable. On normal, though, the trash mobs and the ice breath hit for very little damage, so you should have no problem gathering a few harpoons and clearing toward the end.

When your party is at the far end of the gauntlet by the harpoon guns (can't do anything with the harpoons until you're at the end of the long hallway by the guns), finish up the remaining mobs and top up on rage. As soon as you shoot down the dragon, ALL other members of the party should streak down the hallway to max healing range. Getting some distance from the boss is critical here. The first time we fought him, we had 2 other melee characters (rogue and ret pally) and made the mistake of staying in range of the boss.

Skadi will land and tank can pick up aggro. Ranged DPS can start pouring it on from max distance, but be ready to run away if necessary. Very quickly after beginning the fight, he'll cast a long whirlwind that'll cream anything other than plate wearers with lots of avoidance. We lost our ret pally, rogue, and hunter in about 3 seconds the first time we fought this guy. He appears to target squishy members of the party or perhaps the furtherest from himself, as he moved down the hallway each time.

So, here's the tactic that works best. Extra melee characters should just avoid the first part of this battle and retreat to range. Tank can pick up initial aggro and begin building threat and rage. When he starts his whirlwind he will most likely begin moving down the hallway to the rest of the party. Tank can wait a couple of seconds and then taunt him to bring him back toward himself. This will "strand" Skadi's attack in between the members of the party and most of it will be wasted. And other members of the group can restart dps and melee can return to start whacking him.

For the next whirlwind, your melee dps won't be safely removed from Skadi, so use your disarm skill at this point. If you can disarm him quickly enough you may be able to save your melee dps from a quick and nasty death, but we downed him successfully with just the tank, a mage, and our healer. For the third whirlwind, I burned my shield wall and be ready to pop last stand if needed. He only got off three whirlwinds with us, but on the fourth your disarm might very well be back up.

Clearly this dungeon is much easier with ranged dps. If the party can stay at max range the entire time, then an easy kill method is just to taunt him back and forth between your range and the tank, letting him exhaust his whirlwind in the no man's land in between. Good luck!

I don’t know was that a bug or something.

Yesterday we went through this boss. Didn’t have proper correct team. (a lot of melee dps) but managed to get harpoons and bring the boss down and get him all the way down to 1%. Last (alive) players were healer and tank and all of a sudden during the fight boss disappeared for about a minute.
Doors for the last boss didn’t open and after few second events was reset.

None of us got out of the room or the location. Simply remain of the team was corps watching the fight....

Is there any time limit with this event or something I missed?

Commentaire de Nailzz

Good point Robm. Was running heroic UP all the way up to this guy, and everytime the tank AND healer died, the entire gauntlet would reset...Even if the DPS lived, it would still reset. This must be a bug or a glitch. Can anyone confirm?

Commentaire de 303713

Warriors can not disarm this boss. Ive tried 6 times today alone and every time the disarm cooldown does not start and a message comes up on my screen saying invalid target same as every other non disarmable mob in the game. the rogue in your group is probably dismantling. or maybe wow just hates me and the other 2 tanks in my guild who also cannot disarm him.

Commentaire de Silverado

This guy is so bugged right now it's not even funny...

Commentaire de 308106

Agreed. Tried everything in the book we could think of. Positioning, methods of encroachment - everything. It was completely random every time. Some times he would despawn after killing one mob, other times he would despawn after we got him down....

GO GO Hotfixes!

Latest patch causes him to reset every single time my group gets through the gauntlet to the harpoon launchers

Commentaire de 249249

After many unsuccesful tries, we managed to take him out at last. Once you beat him the first time and u learn the tactics, he isn´t that hard. Just make sure u got enough dps and aoe.

So here is what we did in heroic mode. At entering the romm where skadi and his dragon is, the encounter starts and Skadi flies away. Just stay put, and take out the two first adds several times until u have enough spears. We always take 8, dont know if thats to much or what. Make sure only 1 dps takes the spears and shoots. When u have 8, run back out and wait for the encounter to reset, then run back in fast and all the way down towards the last room, where the real encounter with Skadi will be. WHen buffed up, choose one fast dps to run back towards the start of the encounter, where Skadi has respawned. And when the encounter starts once more, run back fast. Make sure your tank is in the last room to make instant aoe (thunderclap and Shockwave) to get aggro from adds. Then nuke them. Make sure to take spears, just in case u wipe. At that way u wont have to get that many spears in a new attempt. The dps that have the spears should be ready to fire spears at the dragon when the screen tells u to. Party, make sure not to stand outside when the dragon fires its ice. That hurts. Go inside room when he does so. Once the dragon is dead, Skadi comes down. Tank should get aggro at once, or else u got a great chance of wipe. When the fight is on, be very much weary of the whirlvind which hurts. All other in party but the tank will probably wipe if he hits u with it. He is tauntable (yes) which makes it easier. Tank should also tri to get Skadi away from the party. Use all u can of your dodge, parry, defence etc. stuff u have when he whirlvinds. Good luck

My group was able to get him not to reset. This is what we did: (this was on normal mode but hopefully will work on heroic as well)

we ran it through and realized the problem with the reseting, so we used those resets to gather 1-2 harpoons each, so we had 6 just in case so we could bring him down in his first fly by.

We then pulled him again when he reset, and I (Hunter) left my pet on stay right where he would normally be standing before he gets onto his mount. We ran the gauntlet like normal (very quickly though so we could reach the end by his first fly by. (Note: we did not start it from behind him, but it may not make any difference)

We got about 3/4ths the way up the run and my pet despawned due to being too far away from me. We sprinted to the harpoon launchers and launched them the second he was in range. He dropped off his mount and we downed him.

Please let me know if other people get this to work or not. I'd like to be able to tell people what it is exactly that would get it to work properly so everyone isn't spending hours trying to figure it out.

I hope this helps!

Poison Spear: He throws a poison-tipped spear at a random party member, which deals considerable damage.

I've noticed that as a tank, I've never gotten hit by this ability. Never.
Also, he will never Whirlwind until he casts at least 2 Poison Spears, so you can keep count.

Commentaire de 267546

Killed him with 3 people (in heroic of course). Paladin retrib, DK tank, Priest heal.
It was a pug but a solid one. Our stuff was blue naxx10 thoo. So not that maxed out.
I'm farming the mount since 2 weeks now. And I wanted to increase my chances so now I'm gonna run it every day, with a group of 3 hopefully with the guys of today.

A few info I gathered on the run. We skipped EVERY single boss, especially the girl speaking with Arthas, we just took the Hulk killed him, and there was no door so we could continue, and the boss didnt come to aggro us.

The Second boss is also optionnal as you have to "summon" him.

So you can just rush Skadi...

Instead of having one chance out of 500, you have 1/300.

Thanks Blizzard for this wonderfull design. They knew people would farm it so they made sure, all bosses were optionnal except this boss!

If you skip all bosses and stop at skadi, it goes as fast as building a comon 5 people group!
I'm looking forward to T8 gear to maybe reduce to 2 people.

Also note that it's mostly all Undead, so Paladin, Dk lichborn rune, etc all helps...

Commentaire de 256742

I just found this out last night. Basically if your heals and tank is good you can try this:

Everyone wait inside the trophy room while the one party member starts the event.. (preferably a rogue since they can run back to trophy room fast.) When the mobs start coming the one party member who started the event can run back into the trophy room wait about 10 seconds then the whole group can run all the way to the end in a mobless gauntlet. ( The event is in the process of resetting). The gate at the end to the next room is still closed but if you look behind you skadi is reset and standing in the beginning of the gauntlet. All that is left is to aggroe him. and to tank the mobs coming out of the door as you will already be at the door when they all come out. It helps out the tank and heals alot as all the mobs are in one place. GL

Commentaire de 53071

On heroic he actually isn't hard at all .
Just that amongst all the easier heroics , he is the first / only idiot check you'll find . 8/10 of times you run this on heroic there is always someone who does one of the following :
1) You tell them constantly not to stand in icy breaths . They continue standing there.
2) You have someone designated to pick up the harpoons and shoot them . Some other idiot takes the harpoons constantly and does not tell anyone about it.
3) You constantly spam " don't stand in whirlwind / move around " before the encounter and when boss lands . Some smartass doesn't listen and continues dpsing / tanking and ends up dying .

Commentaire de 213817

From my personal experience the best way to deal with this guy is either with a paladin tank with a good amount of aoe for the beginning or a warrior and an unholy deathknight to get adds in the beginning because from my experience as a prot warrior it's annyoing as hell getting the adds off of the healer and with the unholy dk's aoe moves you can be certain they will attack the DK over the healer first which means success in the fight.

Not sure why the Blue Proto Drake isnt on his loot table here. Saw it drop on my last run, lost the roll, qq.

Commentaire de Roflroflrofl

I did it like this:
Party:
Paladin(Tank)(me)
Priest(Healer)
Warlock(DPS)
Death Knight(DPS)
Rogue(DPS)(Harpoon picker)

First, Rogue triggered Skadi, running back to the prev boss room. Waiting till he was gone.
Than we ran past him, making Mage trigger him, we got Overun by mobs(Divine Protection helped allot!).
Also, I made macro's to go left and right:
/rw LEFT!
/rw RIGHT!
We got trough the mobs and killed Grauf(His dragon).
When he got up the platform and attacks us, the Warlock and Priest ran towards where Skadi is before the fight. Making sure that the dont get damaged by him attacks(At least, as much as possible).

When Skadi used Whirlwind. The Death Knight and Rogue ran towards the Magic DPS and Healer. making him attacking me(With taunts). REPEAT
And that how we done it.
____________________
So for every1 els.
When grauf is down:
Tank: Stay on Skadi the Ruthless, taunting him when he does WW. EDIT: Also taunt him when hes done with WW. Just to be sure.
Healer: STAY BACK! Dont worry, the tank will keep him away from you :) Atleast, if you dont have a wannabe tank. Remember, try to heal the tank as much as possible. DPS might save themselves by running away from WW. ALSO, cure the poisons from the Poisoned spear.
Magic DPS: STAY BACK! Dont worry, the tank will keep him away from you :) Atleast, if you dont have a wannabe tank.
Ranged DPS: STAY BACK! Dont worry, the tank will keep him away from you :) Atleast, if you dont have a wannabe tank.
Melee DPS: Stay on Skadi. But when he does WW, Run towards the Magic DPS(es) and Healer.

This should do it.

*Skadi the Ruthless can be disarmed on Heroic Mode*

Strategies
--------------

This fight is relatively complicated but not difficult once learned.
When the fight begins, Skadi the Ruthless will mount his proto-drake and fly up into the air, beginning a gauntlet style event. Your party must work their way about 150yd up a hallway fighting 4-5 waves of 5-6 Frost Vrykul each.
While you are fighting through the gauntlet, Skadi will fly over on his drake and cast frostfire on the ground in long strips. Standing in the fire does ~3k a second. It is useful to have a member of the party aware of Skadi's movement so that you can predict and call which side of the hall his breath will be cast on.
Ymirjar Harpooners will drop harpoons that stick in the ground. Party members need to loot the harpoons along the way.
When you reach the end of the gauntlet, there are three harpoon guns mounted on the edge of the keep. Occasionally you will see the emote that "Skadi is in Range of the Harpoons" and a party member, who has a harpoon, needs to use the harpoon gun. An effective strategy is to assign a single player to collect the harpoons and fire them at Skadi. Several harpoons can be fired in one pass if the player is fast. Additionally, if the group wipes unused harpoons will remain in a player's inventory, allowing you to have a full stack by the time you reach the end of the gauntlet on subsequent attempts.
After 4 hits with harpoons (6 Heroic), Skadi's drake will die and he will dismount. When he lands the tank must quickly establish agro otherwise Skadi may immediately kill vulnerable group members. It is handy if hunters use misdirection (and rogues use tricks of the trade)on the tank in anticipation of this and begin dpsing immediately. From this point on the adds stop spawning and it is essentially a tank and spank. He has an ability that does ~6k damage to the tank and stuns him for 2 seconds. Skadi will also occasionally cast whirlwind, which hits for ~2k, and target a random party member (Warriors use disarm even on Heroic). The targeted party member must kite the boss away from the rest of party to reduce overall damage taken (Warriors should taunt while kiting backwards, this will pull the boss towards them during his whirlwind). Skadi will also occasionally throw a poisoned spear which will hit for around 6k and then DoT for around 2k every 3 seconds, healers must be fast to react to this as an already weakened player will die quickly from it.
It should also be noted that as of Patch 3.0.8 this boss encounter is bugged. When the last of the adds is killed he will immediately despawn, even if he's already down and fighting. Groups must ensure that at least one add is kept alive until the end of the fight, otherwise they will have no choice but to reset and start again.

Easiest way to do it
----------------------------

The gauntlet resets if everyone runs into the previous room so to make it easier, have four people stand in the previous room and let one person go in and start the event. Stay inside the doorway and kill Ymirjar Harpooners (usually 2 adds at a time come into the doorway) until you gather the harpoons (6 Heroic) and once you have gathered the harpoons; go back into the previous room and the boss will despawn, once he despaws the group runs to the end of the hallway. One person will head back to the boss and start the event. Kill the mobs, pay close attention to the "Witch Doctors" as they cast mostly at healers, prefer to kill them as they spawn. Once you have downed the majority of the mobs, during the next boss pass have the person carrying the harpoons shoot the boss down. Then begin to clear remaining adds and then the boss.
Do not** rush to the Harpoon end and gather in the doorway (too far into the door causes reset) as previously strategies mentioned, it will despawn the boss in the middle of the fight.(not good)...

Tip for melee DPS: Stand at Skadi's sides when you DPS, so that when he WWs, all you have to do is strafe left/right to get away from him. Mouse turning is the most effective way to avoid him if you choose to stand behind him, but if you don't like that, strafing works just as well.

Commentaire de Brunk

As the tank, I use 2 /rw (raid warnings) to alert my team which side is safe:

/rw MOVE LEFT
/rw MOVE RIGHT

I have these bound to 1 and 2 for easy access.

I was in a group that just tried him on heroic. WE could not beat him tried 3 times. We had a great tank, maybe we just had bad luck. Once he even had his frost aoe on both sides at the same time, we had no safe spot.

I believe they may have fixed the way of bugging this fight, we tried 4 times we got down killed all the mobs in the doorway and went into the room and collected spears and everytime we got him down he would just disappear mid whirlwind. Has anyone else had this problem? Is really annoying.

Timed achievement with a Paladin Tank

Now i have to admit, the first time i stumbled across this tactic was by accident, and i got the achievement without initially setting out to do so. The first time i did it the event bugged and reset by accident while we were by the far end, and i honestly didnt know what to expect. But here is how to do it:

Stage 1
As with most attempts, you will want to farm harpoons. Just keep on plowing through the waves at a steady pace, and make sure the dps classes have plenty of javelins each. Then, as with the usual methods, make your way back to the previous room to reset the event.

Stage 2
As soon as you see the mobs despawn, immediately have the entire team run down to the far end by the harpoons, before Skadi and his drake have reappeared. This is important, you do not want to have the mobs come straight away.

Stage 3
Now this is the different part, which will ONLY work with a pally tank. Position yourself just in front of the doorway, and make sure the team is fully buffed and ready. Have the dps with the lowest AoE ability then run back down towards skadi. Start laying down consecration, and make sure you have holy shield up. When skadi is triggered all 30 or so mobs will spawn on top of you, hit holy wrath. After a second or 2 the dps then AoE them down asap, popping divine protection to halve all damage taken is a good idea. Doing this should take only a few seconds, leaving you with the maximum amount of time to take down skadi.

As i said, this is only really doable with a prot pally as the other tank classes cannot be sure to gather full aggro on 30 or so mobs at once. DK tanks may be able to attempt this because like consecration, death and decay has no damage cap, which is the deciding factor here, but the AoE stun makes a pally the most reliable choice.

Hope this helps all those looking to do this achievement :)

Skadi's WW can easely be outrun. I you happen to have a warrior in the group, just disarm him.(only on HC)
Oh and if you are a druid healer and he targets you with his WW, if you have a few hot on yourself in advance, you won't die.

Seems like he wields a much lighter version of Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros.

Lovely how he wields an Item that has the same model as a Fire hammer, being the god of Hunting and Winter =P

Ok i just want to say that the blizz team messed up again. If anyone wants to know who Skadi is then here is a little about The Goddess Skadi.
A giantess, called the 'snow-shoe goddess', and the embodiment of winter. She is the wife of the god Njord. When her father Thiazi was slain by the gods, Skadi wanted to take revenge. The gods thought it wiser to reconciliate and offered her a marriage with one of them. She was free to marry any god, but while she made her choice she was only allowed to see the feet of the potential candidates. She noticed a very elegant pair and, convinced that their owner was the fair god Balder, she choose them. Unfortunately for her, those feet belonged to the older god Njord.
The marriage between Njord and Skadi was not a happy one. She wanted to live where her father had lived, in Thrymheim in the mountains, and Njord wanted to live in Noatun, his palace by the sea. So they agreed to spend the first nine days in the mountains and the following nine days by the sea. This arrangement did not work out very well, and they separated. Eventually, Skadi left Njord for the god Ull.

Anyone know who did the voices for this guy?

Commentaire de Bestshot

I killed him and he dropped he drake, and I won it :D. I was just wondering if anybody else has, cause it seemed pretty rare, first time I've ever seen it drop. I've killed him 6 times, so I just thought it was rare.

Commentaire de Carslie

there needs to be an achievement for this guy.

"defeat UP with no wipes on heroic difficulty"

Commentaire de rubyloc

Heroic version of this boss and the stuff before it can be quite easily 2-manned as retri paladin/resto shaman in naxx25 gear. Just watch out for Crush (or spam heals throughout).

Commentaire de Havitech

Turn down your particle density if you, like me, drop from 60fps to 4fps when he does his icy ground effect. It seems Blizzard decided to use individual particles for the entire layer of ice, instead of one solid texture; this causes a heavy load on even the hardiest of computers.

Commentaire de 289299

did they take blue proto-drake out of the loot?

Commentaire de 302359

When you walk up to him, he mounts his proto drake. He flies away from your sight and spawns adds that will attack your group. Notice that some of them are harpoonists, and on death they pickable harpoons when they die.
You must pick the Harpoons to dismount Skadi.
Skadi will control his proto drake back into your reach, and he will be hittable by the harpoon guns at the end of the hallway. he is only in range a short moment before he flies in range of the hallway and makes his proto drake breathe a cone of frost that will cover a large area of the floor, standing in it will result in death after not long.
When he is in range, fire your harpoons with the harpoon guns.
Do this, fight his adds, avoid the frost breath and soon his drake dies, forcing him to touch ground once again.
Once he has landed he starts fighting you. He will also use a whirlwind during the fight, killing the dpses and healers that gets too close, avoid him whenever he does this.
If you follow these tips, you will clear him easily

Could some really really nice dude post the sounds of this guy? I really would like them, please do not purge this comment.

He actually wields the Sulfuron Hammer. But yeah like you said being Frost it's kinda weird him having a fire based weapon but whatever!

MOAR LOOT!

Just wanted to ask: we saw very strange bug (or something) while fighting Skadi on heroic difficulty. We did standart things - even not tried to do any achievements - just aggro boss, then walking on the passage to the harpoon cannons, fired harpoons, dismount Skadi and fight him just near cannons, sometimes walking away from his whirlwind . And during this fight he several times became at full xp. Two or three times. Every our fight. Without any reason. Dps - dps - dps - boss have full xp, dps - dps - full xp again. So we couldn't kill him because of it. I don't see any heal abilities of this boss and maybe somebody can explain what it was ? It's not reset, because when he resets he stay with his drake in the beginning of passage. Did anybody see this bug ?

Commentaire de shadowspa

In patch 3.3 PTR,he is currently bugged.The event will happen normaly until Grauf uses his breath.He will Use his breath but remain hovering above the harpoon launchers,makign him unhittable while mobs keep spawning.

Commentaire de Hegre

Does he still drop the https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=44151 Blue Proto-Drake? It is not listed among his loots..

Commentaire de Gohtohmaon

has anyone noticed the joke blizzard made when skadi says "look alive, my brothers..."?
all the guys he summons are zombies.

Commentaire de RayCrowl

He also drops another drake on Heroic. I can't remember which one to save my life but i think it was blue...might be wrong, I didn't win the roll as always :P but the fact remains one DEFFINATLY droped last night.

Commentaire de 419418

You can get *Grauf reins as a drop from Skadi in heroic mode. https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=44151

* Grauf being the dragon Skadi is riding

Commentaire de jahf

Not much reason to do so except if you really like a challenge during children's week ... but found out he is solo-able as a Prot Paladin. I don't have the best Prot gear or spec (mine is a PVP spec), but it's doable. Just wait to fire off all your harpoons until you've healed up and have good mana. I had to do a few extra spawns of adds to get the right combination.

Typical Prot DPS setup, Corruption, Sanctuary, nothing too fancy. Regular mode.

I'm sure a couple of other classes might have an easier time.

Having rocket boots helps ... run completely away during his whirlwind. Use the time to heal up.

I just soloed him no mount tho.. :(
