ragnaros - say hello to the WoW endboss

this is what i have been playing for, seeing the ultimate boss in world of warcraft :)

a few facts first: the place of the final boss is an instance called "molten core". big nasty monsters where, quite often, fighting more than 1 at a time will cause everyone to die. only for 40 people with good coordination

the instance is active for 6 days - after that it resets. in there you have to kill 9 major bosses, that's 9 real ugly nasty fights (not counting random monsters between the bosses). if you are fast and good you can kill 4 bosses per evening (4hours+ sessions).

after making the last boss submit he will spawn the ultimate boss, ragnaros the firelord. once he is spawned he has to be killed within 2 hours before he despawns. he will not respawn so for another shot you need to wait for the instance to reset and start all over. you can have around 4-5 tries at him once he's spawned (resurrecting and rebuffing needs more time than the actual fight) and noone really knows what to expect of the fight - he got buffed in the last patch and has never been killed by a guild on our server ever since

now for a few pictures (large images, 1600x1200):

we know little about him.. apart from the fact that he is huge, mean and bad tempered. we know little about him - rumours say that at 75% health he will spawn 8 elite monsters that have to be killed within 1.5minutes and if you don't deal enough damage to him he will randomly nuke people:

(note: i have 4200 health so go figure...)

we got him to 83%.. now we are waiting for the instance to reset :)

  • Looks like a quite cuddly pet... but seems to feel majorly hot. :)

    Have you consulted the local veterinarian on how to alleviate its fever? Magma blasts are *not* a good sign. It is doubtless feeling uncomfortable. :p

    I personally prefer pet dandelions. They never develop fever. ;)

    If the magma blasts get too severe, you could try using a disassembler to lower its temperature variable. It would be a challenge of different kind. :)
  • Wow, that is insane.

    My Guest Pass ends tomorrow night, and I think I'm going to buy the actual game.

    Out of curiosity, what server do you play on?

    I've been told that US players cannot play on EU servers?

    Also is that the last master for the Orc players also?
  • i'm playing on the european server "Emerald Dream". yes it's correct, players with the US version of the game (still) can't play on EU servers and vica versa... :mad:

    ragnaros is also the biggest boss for the horde (orcs, undead, tauren). it is actually a horde guild that is closest to defeating this new ragnaros on my server.

    my guild now only has 3 big bosses to kill in this world:
    -azuregos, a big big mean dragon
    -kazaak, a big demon that has some nasty stuff going on
    -ragnaros

    with the next patch in about 2 weeks they will add a new instance called "blackwing lair" which apparently could be as hard as molten core in the end :D (and there's already a "confirmed" expansion in the work - not officially confirmed but a blizzard tech person on the forum said they are working on it)

    You know, there is one thing about Lord of the Rings that keeps bugging me in that scene. When Gandalf says "Fly you fools" every time I hear it I think he says "Folly you fools." It drives me nuts!
