Kil’jaeden the Deceiver is the de facto leader of the Burning Legion, responsible for the corruption of the orcs, the creation of the Lich King, and the resulting conflicts on Azeroth, Outland, and other unknown worlds.

Kil’jaeden, Archimonde and Velen peacefully ruled the eredar world of Argus twenty-five thousand years ago. The triumvirate was approached by the fallen titan Sargeras, promising them power in exchange for loyalty. Kil’jaeden and Archimonde readily accepted while Velen and his followers (later known as draenei) refused and sought refuge with the naaru. Kil’jaeden corrupted the first orcs (assisted by Ner’zhul and Gul’dan) to serve as the Legion's army, leading to the opening of the Dark Portal and the First and Second Wars. When the orcs failed to conquer Azeroth, he transformed Ner’zhul’s soul into the Lich King, charging him with the task of raising a mindless undead army to replace his depleted orc forces and triumph over the Alliance. The Lich King instead used his power to gain his freedom and turn against Kil’jaeden. Kil’jaeden then turned to the night elf Illidan Stormrage to defeat the Lich King and his human minion Arthas Menethil. Illidan failed, allowing the Lich King to be freed and coalesce with Arthas. One of Illidan’s recruits, the blood elf prince Kael’thas Sunstrider, eventually circumvented Illidan’s authority and began taking orders from Kil’jaeden directly.

Kael’thas has now captured Anveena (the avatar of the Sunwell) and is using her to summon Kil’jaeden into Azeroth through the Sunwell itself. She and Kalegcos will assist players in defeating Kil'jaeden as the final boss of Sunwell Plateau.

Kil'jaeden was first defeated by SK Gaming of EU-Vek'nilash on May 24th, 2008.

Edit 1/24/2022: When I wrote this comment (at the release of Sunwell Plateau), it was believed that Sargeras was out of the picture, and Archimonde was dead for good. This left Kil'jaeden as the de facto leader of the Burning Legion.

Kil'jaeden is the last boss in the Sunwell Plateau raid instance. Anveena, Kalecgos, and the Blue Dragonflight play a role in this encounter.

He has five phases in which he gains new abilities in each phase. In phase 5 he does not get any more abilities, but casts them with greater frequency.

Phase 1
To start the encounter, the raid will pull three Hands of the Deceiver. Unlike their counterparts in the Magtheridon encounter, they have a significant aggro range. They are linked and due to the nature of their abilities, it is recommended that they are dragged apart immediately after the pull, and tanked separately afterwards.

Abilities:
- Melees for ~2K on a plate-wearer.
- Can be stunned and silenced (above 20%).
- Shadow Bolt Volley: Deals 850 to 1150 shadow damage to all raid members within 30 yards, and places a stackable debuff that increases all shadow damage taken by 750.
- Soul Portal: Opens a portal that periodically causes Volatile Felfire Fiend to spawn; these imps will run towards nearby raid members and explode, dealing significant damage to all nearby characters. The imps have extremely low health (~400), and can be killed with a single instant cast spell ; however, dying also causes them to explode.
- Shadow Infusion: At 20% health, the Hand will gain this and it makes him immune to stun and silence effects.

Once all three Hands are defeated, Phase 2 begins.

Phase 2

Kil'jaeden will emerge from with the middle of the room when phase 2 begins. Upon emerging, he will knock back all players that are standing within the glowing circle in the middle of the room. This causes no damage.

He initially has the following abilities;
- Soul Flay - 3 second channel. Deals 3000 Shadow damage per second and reduces movement speed. Not resistable or dispellable.
- Legion Lightning - 2 second cast. A chain lightning-like ability that hits the first target for 3007 to 3493 Shadow damage and then leaps to 4 additional targets, inflicting diminishing Shadow damage to each successive target. It will also drain 1500 mana from each character that takes damage from it. The range for the initial lightning and each successive jump is 50 yards, so it cannot be realistically outranged. Fully resistible.
- Fire Bloom - Instant cast. Places a debuff on up to five random targets that deals 1619 to 1881 Fire damage to the debuffed player and all other raid members within 10 yards. Lasts 20 seconds. Only can be dispelled with Immunity effects such as Ice Block and Divine Shield.
- Summon Shield Orb - Spawns a Shield Orb add that is similar to Doom Blossoms in the Teron Gorefiend encounter. Since they only have 20k hp, it is recommend that they be killed as soon as they appear. During Phase 2, they will always spawn northeast of Kil'jaeden, and then orbit him counterclockwise.

Once Kil'jaeden reaches 85% HP, Phase 3 will begin.

Phase 3

When phase 3 begins, Kil'jaeden gains the following abilities:

- Sinister Reflection: Used at the beginning of Phase 3, instant cast. Spawns five Sinister Reflections of a randomly targetted raid member that look identical to the target, and have the abilities of the target's class. These abilities are not tied to the character's talent build or gear selection. Their melee attacks deal an incredible amount of physical damage (2k on plate) and their casts do considerable damage/healing. They cannot be CC'd, but do have normal threat mechanics.
- Shadow Spike: 28 second channel. Bombards randomly targeted raid members with Shadow Spikes that function like Void Reaver's orbs, floating towards the target's position upon the moment of cast and exploding. The explosion inflicts 5100 to 6900 Shadow damage to all characters within 8 yards, and places a debuff that reduces all healing effects by 50% by 10 seconds. Resistable.
- Flame Dart Explosion: Instant cast. Every 3 seconds, all raid members will be hit by Flame Darts that cause 1663 to 1837 Fire damage and reduce movement speed by 50%. Lasts 15 seconds. Resistable, but not dispellable.
- Summon Shield Orb: This ability will now cause two Shield Orbs to spawn instead of one. They will initially appear on opposite sides of the room, and will rotate in opposite directions.
- Darkness of a Thousand Souls: Kil'jaeden will emote (Kil'jaeden begins to channel dark energy) and then cover himself with his wings. After 8 seconds, he will hit all players for 47500 to 52500 Shadow damage. This must be countered by Shield of the Blue.

Once Kil'Jaeden reaches 50% HP, phase 4 will begin

Phase 4

Kil'Jaeden gains one more ability in this phase and will now summon three shield orbs.

- Meteor: Meteors fall from the sky, hitting anyone within a 5 yard range for a fatal amount of damage. There is a Hellfire graphic that appears about 5 seconds before the meteor lands, giving time to move out of the landing area. 3 meteors will be in flight constantly throughout this phase. However, Meteor bombardments will stop while he is casting Darkness of a Thousand Souls.
- Summon Shield Orb: Kil'jaeden will now summon three shield orbs instead of two.

Upon Kil'Jaeden reaching 25% HP, phase 5 will begin.

Phase 5

When phase 5 begins, Kalecgos will cry out to Anveena, and she will "awaken" out of Kil'Jaeden's control, sacrificing herself into the Sunwell, stunning Kil'Jaeden for 5 seconds . Kil'Jaeden gains no new abilities this phase but cast all his previous abilities with greater frequency and suffers the following buff:

- Sacrifice of Anveena: Kil'jaeden takes 25% increased Holy damage.

Along with all abilities being casted with greater frequency, two of his abilities are changed in this phase;
- Soul Flay lasts for 8 seconds now
- Meteors will continue to bombard the raid when he casts Darkness of a Thousand Souls.

Kalecgos

Kalecgos plays an important part in this encounter, being that starting in phase 3, he empowers the 4 orbs in the room, that when used (Only one member can use each orb) transforms the raid member into a blue dragon with the following abilities;
- Blink: Teleports the dragon 20 yards forward.
- Breath: Revitalize: Breathes arcane energy in a 13-yard cone in front of the caster, causing friendly units to regenerate 2250 health and mana over 10 sec. 10 second cooldown.
- Breath: Haste: Breathes arcane energy in a 13-yard cone in front of the caster, increasing the attack, casting, and movement speeds of friendly targets by 25% for 30 sec. Also grants immunity to effects that reduce movement speed. 10 second cooldown.

Kommentar von Bloodsword

- Shield of the Blue: Extends a powerful shield around the caster that reduces all incoming and outgoing damage on friendly targets within 10 yards by 95%, but stuns the dragon and drains 10% of the dragon's health per second. Lasts 5 sec. 20 second cooldown.

After you Defeat him there will be a Conversation Between Lady Liadrin and Velen

Prophet Velen: Mortal Heroes, your victory here today was foretold, long ago. My brothers anquished cry of defeat will echo across the universe, bringing renewed hope to all those who still stand against The Burning Crusade.
Prophet Velen: As the Legion's final defeat draws ever-nearer, stand proud in the knowledge that you have saved worlds without number of the flame.
Prophet Velen: Just as this day marks an ending, so too does it herald a new beginnning...
Prophet Velen starts channeling to a crystal above that quickly lowers itself down for all to gaze upon
Prophet Velen: The creature Entropius, whom you were forced to destroy, was once a noble naruu, M'uru. In life, Mu'ru channeled vast energies of LIGHT and HOPE. For a time, a misguided few sought to steal those energies...
Lady Liadrin walks up next to Prophet Velen
Lady Liadrin: Our arrogance was unpardonable. We damned one of the most noble beings of all. We may never atone for this sin.
Prophet Velen: Then fortunate it is, that I have reclaimed the noble naaru's spark spark from where it fell! Where faith dwells, hope is never lost, young blood elf.
Lady Liadrin: Can it be?
Prophet Velen: Gaze now, mortals - upon the HEART OF M'URU! Unblemished. Bathed by the ligth of Creation - just as it was at the Dawn.
A big bright light starts to shine in the middle of the room
Prophet Velen: In time, the light and hope held within - will rebirth more than this mere fount of power... Mayhap, they will rebirth the soul of a nation.
Lady Liadrin: Blessed ancestors! I feel it... so much love... so much grace... there are... no words... impossible to describe...
Prophet Velen: Salvation, young one. It waits for us all.
Prophet Velen: Farewell...

IMO, because of how hard he is, he should drop like 10 badges.

Kommentar von 153976

For those with a philosophical bent:

Kil'jaeden's current position (immersed waist-deep in the Sunwell, unable to escape) is analogous to the supposed position of Satan in the Ninth Circle of Hell put forward by Dante Alighieri in 'Divina Commedia' (The 'Divine Comedy'). Additionally, Kil'jaeden's quip, "Now I shall succeed where Sargeras could not. I will bleed this wretched world and secure my place as the true master of the Burning Legion" is comparable to Satan's (or, as his possessive was known, Lucifer's) belief that he was 'above God' in terms of power, for which he was damned. Albeit, Kil'jaeden's current predicament was not brought on by Sargeras himself (at least, from what we know so far). For more information, see the Wikipedia entry.

I'm sure Blizzard never intended to have such a parallel made, but it was rather hard for me to pass over a super-powerful demon trapped exactly waist-deep in a well of sorts. At least the conspiracy-nutters will have something to chew on for a while.

Kommentar von asole

Prolly he has the best emerge and death animation ingame. Looks amazing.

Kommentar von 64496

It should also be noted that aside from the initial knockback Kil'Jaeden does as he's emerging, he also casts an additional knockback if somebody enters the circle he's stationed in. The animation looks like an uppercut and does very minimal damage (probably only around 450.) What this means is that running through Kil'Jaeden after he is emerged is a somewhat awkward feat to accomplish.

King James
Revelations, 9:1-11

1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

Well i got an interesting question about this guy and Kael.
OK. Illidan is servant of Kil'jaeden right? And he ran from him, or hide from him whatever. And Kael is servant of Illidan. Right???

So the question is...
Why would Kael summon his master's greatest enemy ???

Kommentar von 177487

Argus was ruled by a triumvirate of the greatest and most powerful eredar mages: Kil'jaeden, Archimonde, and Velen.Argus attracted the attention of Sargeras. The Destroyer offered the eredar a deal: in exchange for their loyalty, he would give them power undreamed of by all races. Kil'jaeden and Archimonde were quick to accept the offer, but Velen had a vision of the future: the eredar would be transformed into demons, under the rule of Sargeras. His advice to Kil'jaeden and Archimonde went unheeded, and he desperately sought a solution to this dilemma. Eventually, Velen was contacted by the naaru, and he fled with his followers, renaming his people the draenei, or Exiled Ones.

Kil'jaeden, Archimonde, and the rest of their race became the feared, insidious sorcerers and tacticians of the Legion.

kil'jaeden should be playing a significant role in WOTLK. I would be quite surprised if he didn't make the expansion. Kel'Thuzad was "killed" in Naxxramas Pre-bc and he is coming back in wrath. So why should'nt kil'jaeden?

There are rumours surfacing that Kil'jaeden and Sargeras could feature in WotLK. As Aegwynn has once battled Sargeras in The Storm Peaks and the fact that Kil'jaeden created the Lich King. So I don't see the fact that why shouldn't previous characters from previous expansions in WoW could not re-exist once again in future expansions in WoW.

Do correct me if I'm wrong, but if I'm not mistaken that necklace which Kil'jaeden dropped was one of the few items Medivh has used to open the Dark Portals. I do believe that the Sunwell was not the only option for Kil'jaeden to enter Azeroth. The items which Medivh used to open Dark Portals allowed mass summons of demons in between Outland and Azeroth. So why not use other methods to summon him over?

Anyone fancying an Emerald Dream expansion featuring Kil'jaeden, Ysera, Sargeras, Old Gods (Nightmare) and others? I wonder~

Just a note:

If a priest using dispersion is targeted for Sinister Reflections, the reflections will come out invisible - for us it was flying maces with no body.

The reflections killed 4 people, there was a lack of dispells due to the confusion, and we had a 1% wipe. GG Blizzard for even thinking of that.

Kommentar von undertonex

Last night we got our second attempts on this guy post patch. We also used the feral druid method and it seemed to work out just fine. At this point in the game threat is a non issue for all classes but the real benefit of having a feral druid (or a dps warrior etc) tanking is that it will now free up your tanking ranged DPS to actually DPS as well as protecting your melee group from eating a lot of knock backs as the feral druid eats them all and can charge back in.

Since the damage is all magical and the few melee hits you will get if any are small hits It is advisable to have your feral druid tank in cat DPS gear in Dire Bear form. There is an entire thread dedicated to this method on EJ.

From my personal experience, I ran with Two Piece T4 and Two Piece T6 for massive threat generation.

My T6 set is not a cat setup so take the pieces out of your gear that have the most built in stats if you will that will help you generate the most threat.

*NOTE it should be noted that I am in no way saying that other classes can not tank KJ. I am sure at this point anything would work just fine.

The major advertisement for the Burning Crusade focuses on Illidan. The new realm, the Outland, is under Illidan's rule. Most of the new factions in the game are fighting Illidan.

Therefore, it makes perfect sense that the final boss of the expansion is NOT Illidan.

Kil'jaeden, the final boss in the Sunwell Plateau raid, is the final boss of the Burning Crusade expansion pack. He is a demon of immense power, handpicked by Sargeras as a leader of the Burning Legion. Because you do not actually beat him, just send him back on through the Sunwell, he's likely to make his return in another expansion pack (Probably something like "The Legion's Revenge" or something...dunno)

As for why Kael'thas is summoning Kil'jaeden, I think it's because Kael was just pretending to serve Illidan...I'm not sure. I don't really care because you megaown him in Magisters' Terrace anyways.

Kommentar von Stigmata

"View in 3D"

Perhaps his malignant hate for all existance is brought about from the inner depression he suffers from being laughed at by his demon buddies for having no legs.

Kommentar von 266285

Pretty tough boss, even at 80.

'Course, Saurfang could beat him without trying anyways. That's why the Lich King killed Saurfang the Younger (not really, he's just sleeping :S). Kil'jaeden isn't stupid enough to incur the wrath of a thousand wailing ~~chipmunks~~ cleaves.

Kommentar von 335969

quick question, even though it may be a stupid one, how large of a raid group do you need to take him down? and do they all need to be 80's since WOWWOTLK came out? or could a full 10 man group of 70's take him down.

Kommentar von 258919

No he is not dead. you didnt even kill the real Kil'jaeden!

If you read the passage above

"Players face off against this twisted avatar of Kil'jaeden, which is still being summoned into Azeroth through the Sunwell itself by his new lieutenant, Kael'thas Sunstrider. Anveena, the embodiment of the Sunwell's energies, is held in an arcane barrier, her powers being drained to feed the portal."
https://www.wowhead.com/cata/npc=25315#comments

So the real Kil'jaeden is probably sitting somewhere laghing at whoever thinks they actually defeated him.

I doubt anyone would take the time to bring a fake demon lord through the Sunwell.

Although it isn't a technical definition, the writer of this article could mean the top half or upper part of the body as an "avatar". Additionally, an avatar is also defined as the physical form of a powerful entity, such as Kil'jaeden.

But the boss in Sunwell Plateau is Kil'jaeden the Deceiver, though he is not killed.

It is likely that Blizzard will make a "Return of the Burning Legion" expansion pack in which Kil'jaeden is finally dealt with. Or perhaps if they make a Sargeras expansion, he will be Sargeras' right-hand man (much like Kael'thas was to Kil'jaeden)

Despite not having WoTLK, a Chinese guild is among the top ten fastest to have downed KJ, which I think is incredible. I guess the bleeding edge guilds doing all the new content aren't going to go back raid buffed... I suppose they could just to make the Chinese guild go down a notch, but that'd just be spiteful :p

Once the Lich King is defeated, Kel'Thuzad and all other Scourge will most likely die due to their loss of power from their master. In Cata, the main antagonist is Deathwing, whom has no quarrell with the Burning Legion. If the Scourge is defeated, the Burning Legion only has Azeroth to worry about (that being the Alliance and the Horde, and any other friendly factions).

Kil'jaeden might come whoop some ass. :<

Kommentar von PotatoKing

You actually DO fight Kil'jaeden himself but you still don't kill him. He just gets sucked back through the well and back into the Twisting Nether.

Players face off against Kil'jaeden himself, who is still being summoned into Azeroth through the Sunwell itself by his new lieutenant, Kael'thas Sunstrider. Anveena, the embodiment of the Sunwell's energies, is held in an arcane barrier, her powers being drained to feed the portal, but later in the encounter she is sacrificed to weaken the Deceiver, who can then successfully be banished back into the Nether.

DEFEAT

It can be noted that, at the end of the fight, Kil'jaeden does not die. Instead the magics of the Sunwell simply react against him, and he is pulled back through it and into the Twisting Nether. It is his very large necklace that rips off and lands on the surface of the Sunwell after he sinks in that is looted by players.

Kommentar von PotatoKing

* Reply to a person that commented on WoWHead ( Or it was Thottbot, I think ) that probably got purged since I don't see him anymore *

It was something like this:

Kil'jaeden's health got to a few percentage when Anveena sacrificed herself and pulled him back in the Sunwell... So if she didn't do that then we would have already killed Kil'jaeden and we would not worry about him anymore and her sacrifice was stupid...

On some bosses (mostly the bosses that doesn't die or you get helped with in fighting, like an NPC fight, like Illidan, Kil'jaeden and Algalon), the bosses' health bars only shows the progression of the players how near the fight will end and doesn't mean you can indeed kill them without the help of those NPC's, lore wise.

Take this for example: The health bar of Illidan shows that you that you got him to a few percentages without the help of Maiev, but lore wise you did not do much damage to Illidan and it was Maiev who killed Illidan, she was the one who realy put the hurt on Illidan, not you (well... maybe only a little :) ). The health bar shows how much you are near to the end of the fight and when Maiev will come.

The health bar of Algalon shows you how long until you convince him to "spares your world"... If he did not do so then you could have go on forever and the Titans already destroyed Azeroth.

This is same to Kil'jaeden, you've barely even hurt him! You still did a part in defeating him by stalling him in the fight while Kalec is trying to snap Anveena out and stop Kil'Jaeden. But it was Anveena who made him be pulled back to the Twisting Nether.

" Then why did Kil'jaeden struggled in the end, doesn't that mean he's already dying? " Well... maybe, but maybe he tried to struggle because he was already getting sucked back to the Twisting Nether and tried to kill Anveena and everyone else to interrupt it.

Also remember that Kil'jaeden that is as strong (or maybe stronger!) as Archimonde. In Hyjal Past, it shows Archimonde going down to a few percent of health but in Warcraft 3 (which is probably more correct), Archimonde does not get damaged, so probably it is the same as Archimonde, as I said too above, Kil'jaeden maybe barely even got hurt.

At level 80:

A complete joke of a fight. All you need to do is kill adds first. Have a tank pick up the sinister reflections. Unless you're severely undermanning him, or taking mostly non level 80 dps, he will never cast Darkness. All of his damage is negligible.

Demolished this guy with a little less than 20 level 80s. Mu'ru was much more difficult. The only worries were spikes, meteors, and clones. Otherwise, it was just a tank n spank. He didn't even get the chance to cast Darkness of a Thousand Souls, and Anveena didn't sacrifice herself until about 20 seconds after we finished fighting him. I was actually disappointed at how easy the ultimate and final boss of the Burning Crusade has become.

How hard was he when he was first introduced? When people talk about Sunwell plateau, they mainly mention Brutallus and M'uru as the hard bosses. It's possible that Kil'jaeden is not as difficult in comparison, that his difficulty is more justifiable as the last boss, or that not enough people fought him for him to gain a reputation as difficult.

2.5 manned SWP today, was a friend and I plus a dual box character of my own.

Prot/Ret paladin
Resto/Enhance shaman (horrible healing gear ex: no weapon or rings or enchants/gems)
MM/BM hunter.

Ok, so we were lazy and skipped the first boss. Yes, you can just walk right around the edge of Kalecgos's circle.

Brutallus Ok, so after a few unsuccessful tries of having my paladin tank while my hunter friend burned him down didn't work due to heavy tank damage and my resto shaman having terrible gear, I remembered hearing about a BM hunter who tanked argaloth with his pet since it avoids meteor slash.

So my friend went BM and grabbed his level 83 turtle pet, went ret with my paladin, tossed ES on the turtle, and killed him this way. The hunter kept mend pet up, and I had to toss some healing waves at the pet.

Felmyst Super easy, tanked with my prot paladin and dispelled with my resto shaman, dodge breath, collect loot, etc.

Eredar Twins For this fight I lured Lady Sacrolash up the ramp while my hunter friend burned down Grand Warlock Alythess. My paladin didn't require much healing from my shaman aside from earth shield, so i mainly focused on healing my shaman and the hunter. Got a little hairy at the end when we were hitting 20 stacks of the healing debuff.

M'uru/Entropius I tried going ret for the extra damage, but when it came to picking up all the melee adds, you just can't beat prot since their damage adds up with all the shadow aoe going on(plus remember? my shaman's gear sucks!) Purge the Dark Fiends when they spawned so we didn't take more shadow aoe damage. It got a little crazy at the end but we didn't really know this encounter's abilities very well.

Kil'jaeden Since most of his damage is magic, and you have 9.4M HP to burn through, I went ret on my paladin. This fight was actually one of the easiest ones in here. With Resist Aura and the Healing Stream glyph to cover shadow/fire/nature resists, healing was pretty light.

Kept ES on my ret paladin which helped for when I was gathering up the sinister reflections. My hunter friend took out the Shield Orbs, not sure how much damage they really did. Other raid damage was fairly light due to our resist abilities making most of the shadow bolts and chain lightnings fully resist.

When it came to KJ's Darkness of a Thousand Souls ability, we didn't bother using the drakes. It took about half of our HP each cast, so a couple big heals brought us back to higher health. Aside from that it was a pretty simple fight.

And for the couple hours of work we put in, my hunter friend was awarded with his legendary bow. Now to make him pass on Ashes of Al'ar when they finally drop for us!

Edit: I would also like to add that I am a pretty bad dual boxer, I have no special addons, so I have to click between my two monitors to change between my paladin and shaman. So if you can drag along 2 friends, fights like M'uru should be much easier.

Kil'Jaeden didn't die because you didn't loot his head, which as we know is common WoW law when an enemy is defeated.

Kommentar von Derangera

Kil'jaeden: NOOOO! i'm stuck! i'm too fat! GUARDS HELP ME THRU THE PORTAL!

*silence*

Kommentar von 438574

Oh wow, no I soloed this on my Blood DK posts.

Kommentar von Untamable

Is it soloable by decently geared blood DK ?

Kommentar von Nobbel

Two videos I made about Sunwell Plateau. It shows me (Nobbel 85 Paladin) and my buddy (Eponympf 85 paladin) duoing Kalecgos. We tried to duo Brutallus, but got our butts handed to us. Aliceinchain (85 Shaman) joins and we 3-man the rest of the instance without a problem.
I hope it gives you a few pointers.

Part 1 Kalecgos, Brutallus, Felmyst

Part 2 Eredar Twins, M'uru and Kil'jaeden

Kommentar von TdarKoNe

We successfully duo'd Kil'Jaeden several times, ilvl 373 Blood Death Knight, 392 Elemental Shaman. Before switching to my DK I was running on my ilvl 385 MM Hunter for the bow, so you don't HAVE to bring a Blood DK to pull this off in a duo.

Major ability of note:
Darkness of a Thousand Souls: Deals 47500 to 52500 Shadow damage to all enemies within reach. You can either take the damage, while using AMS, Cloak of shadows, etc. to reduce the damage or use an activated Dragon Orb on the edge of the room. The orb will allow you to control a blue drake which has a shield that will protect you and all nearby party members from Darkness of a thousand souls.

Other abilities: Kil'Jaeden will bombard you with spells all fight long, so any magical resistance you can get is a bonus. He will summon floating orbs in the sky that shoot shadow bolts at your party, that can (and should) be targeted and killed very easily. He also constantly knocks back anyone within melee range all fight long, casts flame dart which deals damage and slows you, among many other magical damage abilities.

He will summon adds called "Sinister Reflection" throughout the fight that will look like a random party member, and should be taken down quickly.

Any questions feel free to ask hope this helps you get your achievements/transmog gear/legendary bow! :)

All the bosses are up, It Just takes time to unlock the doors leading to them, Also thus far no one in the world has killed M'uru of beyond that, And I can say that even in an illidan guild with most members 5/8 that this place is BT on 5 types of crack...

Kalecgos is Harder than Illidan, and he's the first boss, Brutallus has been killing and wiping top world guilds for two weeks now, what with 10 million HP and a 6 minute enrage timer :P

If you were prepared...prepare some more and then prepare to get your ass kicked even then, This isn't a cakewalk by far.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Yes, but remember, Archimonde was to be Sargeras' field commander, and Kil'jaeden would recruit new demons to the Legion. Although he was in charge at the time due to the fact that Sargeras died or something, Archimonde held his same position as commander of the Legion's armies. (He was also horny for trees.)

Kommentar von Thottbot

A smart and simple way to keep Kil'jaeden not being able to come out of the Sunwell is to:
1. Pour cement and cover the sunwell
2. Park a car on top of the Sunwell
3. Barricade the Sunwell
4. Put something heavy on top of the Sunwell
5. Drop a giant piano on Kil'Jaeden as he comes out
6. Grab a huge hammer and smash Kil'Jaeden fingers as attempts to come out
7. Drop an explosive down the Sunwell
8. Go to the caverns of time, kill Kael'thas before he becomes a crack addict so he wont bother to call Kil'jaeden
9. Pour acid down the sunwell
10. Build church/Giant statue of smiling Jesus on top of the sunwell

And i can't believe how easy it is :P

Kommentar von Thottbot

This is the one stunt i like that blizz did, the burning legion is the ultimate enemy in the game(until they come out with new lore) dont kid ur self, yes thev alrdy said new lore will be realesed. but ne ways, this is the head Hancho of the legion so i like the idea of instead of killing him, instead just banish or force him back into the sunwell.

another thing, its off topic but this is my opinion

Pre BC lead bosses

Kel'thuzad(arthases high luitinant)
C thun(old god of azeroth)

BC lead raid bosses

Illidan stormrage(10,000 year old night elf, betrayed his people and became kil jeadens slap doll

Kil jeaden( head of burning legion, leader of billions of demons across the cosmos, tough dude.

and my prediction for the lead 2 bosses for WOTLk

Arthas( badass nuf said(play WC3)

and Deathwing( Bigass dragon, father of nefarion lead boss of BWl, and Onxyia
----------------------------------------------
let me just say it couse im bored,

After WOTLk the next expansion will be Mealstrom(queen ashzara)

then maybe Argus where u aculy kill kiljeaden.

plz comment on the whole mealstrom thing couse half the people say its stupid but i think it be cool, experience the NE empire how it once was and kill the head NE villian queens Azhara.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Mmm, Maelstrom will be more of a Patch.
What about Emerald Dream? Whats up with that?

They're also 3 Other Old Gods on Azeroth.
SUPPOSED LOCATIONS
1 - Maelstrom
2 - Undernearth Tirisfal
3 - Emerald Dream (Could be The Nightmare)
--------------------------------------------
4 - Is dead, in Darkshore
5 - C'Thun , AQ40 (Temple of Ahn'Qiraj)

ANd Kil'Jaeden will be a really tough boss.
Brutallus - 10,500,000 HP And he is 2nd Boss

Id say Kil'jaeden will have around 13,000,000 to 14,000,000 HP
And he will most probably be too Uber, Like C'thun before Nerf.

Also, Arthas will be UNDEFEATABLE, and will probably be so Crazy strong, noone can kill him :P

Today, Kil'jaeden has been soloed for the first time. Chuck Norris has a hunter o_O

Kommentar von Thottbot

Kil'Jaeden downed by SK Gaming, Saturday May 24. World first.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Heres some tactics of the fight:

First,there will be 3 hand of the Deceivers in the room,unlike the Magtheridon channelers,they aggro when players get aggro.Aggroing the Hand of the Deceivers will begin Phase 1.

Abilities:
200k HP
Stunnable and Silencable (but look below)
Shadow Bolt Volley:Deals 850 to 1150 Shadow Damage to all raid members within 30 yards,also places a stackable debuff,which increases shadow damage taken by 750.
Soul portal:Opens a Soul Portal that periodically spawns Volatile Felfire Fiends;these imps will run toward raid members and explode dealing high amount of damage.but the imps are very weak that they are 1 shottable by most spells,but they will still explode after death.
Shadow Infusion:At 20% health,the Hand of the Deceiver becomes immune to stun and silence,finish the Hand of the Deceiver at this point.
When the Hand of the Deceivers are killed,Phase 2 begins.

Phase 2:
Kil'jaeden arrives in a blaze of glory (literally).Any players close to him when he comes will be knocked back.Kil'jaeden is untankable,and casts spells on random people.
Soul Flay:He chooses a target and spams Soul Flay on the target,lasting 3 seconds.It deals 3k damage per second.Kil'jaeden will continue spamming until the person dyes,and/or some undetermined points of the fight (phase changing?)Not resistable or Dispellable.
Legion Lightning:2 Second cast.A chain lightning-like ability that hits 4 targets for 3007 to 3493 shadow damage and then leaps to 4 additional targets,inflicting diminishing shadow damage to each target.It will als drain 1500 mana from each character that takes damage from it.The range and successful hits of the Legion lightning is 50 yards,meaning its unavoidable,but its still fully resistable.
Fire Bloom:Places a fire bloom on 5 random targets,dealing 1619 to 1881 damage to the target and any friendly character in 10 yards.Lasts 10 seconds.Not dispellable (but except by immunity effects)
Summon Shield Orb:Spawns a Shield Orb that is similiar to Doom Blossoms in the Teron Gorefiend encounter.They are constantly shooting Shadowbolts to the raid (3 shadowbolts every 1 second).Since they are targetable and have 20k HP,its recommended for ranged DPS to take these down as quickly as possible,to prevent incoming raid damage.In phase 2,these always spawn from NE from Kil'jaeden,then orbit Kil'jaeden counterclockwise.
When you get Kil'jaeden to 85%,phase 3 begins.
Phase 3:
Sinister Reflection:Used at the beginning of Phase 3,it summons 5 mirrors of 1 person,that unlike the player,they don't follow the stats of their gear or their talents,but each hit deals 2k damage to plate per reflection and their casts and healing do more damage/healing.They are not CC'able in any way,but they do follow threat mechanics.
Shadow Spike:28 second channel.When Kil'jaeden channels this,random Shadow Spikes land on random players of the raid,but they move slowly that they can be avoided.When caught,they get hit for 5100 to 6900 shadow damage,and they also gain a debuff that reduces healing by 50% for 10 seconds.Resistable.
Flame Dart Explosion:Instant cast,Every 3 seconds,all raid members will be hit by Flame Dart Explosion,that cuase 1663 to 1837 fire damage and reduces movement speed by 50%.15 seconds.resistable,but not dispellable.
Summon Shield Orb:This ability now summons 2 orbs instead of one.They Will initially appear opposite sides of the room,and will rotate in an opposite direction.
Darkness of a Thousand Souls:Kil'jaeden will cover himself in wings,starting an 8 second cast time.When succeeded,all people in the raid take 47500 to 52500 shadow damage.This is countered by the Shield of the Blue (see the orbs section below).Not resistable.
Orbs:
In Phase 3,Kalecgos (who usually shoots arcane bolts at kil'jaeden in phase 2,sorry,din't confirm it before ;) )will channel his power into the orbs,when players click on the orb,they'll transnform into a blue drake,using some abilities instead.
Blink:Like the mage ability,teleports the dragon to 20 yards.
Breath:Revitalize:Breathes arcane energy in a 13 cone yards in front of the caster,causing friendly units to regenerate 2250 health and mana for 10 seconds.10 second cooldown.
Breath: Haste:Breathes arcane energy in a 13 cone yards in front of the caster,increasing the attack,casting,and movement speed of friendly targets by 25% for 30 seconds.Also grants immunity that reduces movement speed.10 second cooldown.
Shield of the Blue:Extends a Powerful shield around the caster (10 yards)that,when inside,reduces damage taken by 95%,but stuns the dragon and the dragon loses 10% health every second.Lasts 5 seconds.20 second cooldown.

More information Coming soon (I mean coming in a few days,not in a few minutes :P)

Kommentar von Thottbot

So,ehm,the Kil'jaeden strategy is finished,so heres more abilities
Before starting,I'd like you to confirm how much HP Kil'jaeden has 12,600,000 HP,making him one of the strongest bosses in the game.
To the abilities:
Getting Kil'jaeden to 50% starts phase 4
Phase 4:
Entering this phase,Kil'jaeden gains another ability (that's 9 abilities at this point)and Kalecgos empowers 2 more orbs.
Meteor:Meteors fall from the sky,hitting anyone within a 5 yard range for a fatal amount of damage.There is a hellfire graphic that appears about 5 seconds before the meteor lands,giving time to move out of the landing area.3 meteors will be in flight through this phase.However,meteor bombardments stop while he is casting Darkness of a Thousand Souls.
When you get Kil'jaeden to 25%,phase 5 and the final phase begins.
Phase 5:
Kalecgos cryes out for Anveena to release herself from Kil'jaeden's control,and sacrifice herself to banish Kil'jaeden,but you need to bring Kil'jaeden to 0% for a successful banish.
Kil'jaeden gets desperate,he is not weakened,he is more like enraged.
Kil'jaeden will be stunned for 5 seconds,and his soul flay channel lasts 5 seconds instead of 3 (meaning a 15k damage total),Kil'jaeden's abilities will have a very short cooldown,meaning a Darkness of a Thousand Souls about 20 seconds or so,and also Meteor bombardments will NOT stop while Kil'jaeden is casting Darkness of a Thousand Souls.
You will need to nuke him before he nukes your raid.Upon his defeat is a very awesome ''dismissal'' scene.
If you are looking for the loot,then do you see that medallion in the middle where Kil'jaeden gone?Theres your loot!Have a nice day downing Kil'jaeden for those who got this far to Kil'jaeden! ;)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Oh,I forgot something,in phase 4 and 5,Kil'jaeden spawns 3 shield orbs instead of 2.
Hardest fight ever! >_>

Kommentar von Thottbot

OK, I played WC3 a long time ago, and finally got the expansion. Tomb of Sargeras is on the Broken Isles (if I say something out of line, sorry. I'm only on the third chapter of Maiev's campaign), which is in the Great Sea, not the Maelstrom. However, if they make both these places in an expansion, I think the Tomb should be like an entrance (portal maybe) to the Maelstrom, and then everyone can have fun breathing down there :P. Or better yet, make the portal to Mael. somewhere else, but the tomb should be directly related to a final fight with Sargeras, like maybe K'J (yeah, I finally linked this post to the actual topic xD) shows up and is able to summon him again (of course, Blizz would need to make the level cap like 120 or something for something this epic)
Anyways, that's only my idea; someone feel free to comment if you have other ideas to add on.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Who the hell is Arthas?
Who the hell is Medivh?
WTF is the Burning Legion?
What does WC3 stand for?
What is the point of downing KJ?
When will the world end?
Why does the human race exist?
And who let the dogs out?

lol jk
(Except the last one)

:D

Kommentar von Thottbot

This fight cant be fair! he's 1/2 way stuck in a hole and you have some elite dragon helping you.
If i were Kil'jaeden i'd eat the dragon, get out of the hole and %^&* on everyone!

and Kil'jaedens face looks retarded !

Kommentar von Thottbot

about the Arthas>kil'jaeden discussion KJ may be a level 70 area raid boss and arthas is 80 but keep in mind kil'jaeden is very weak in this fight hes stuck in a hole and u have an elite dragon helping you and he doesnt even die so in my opinion KJ is stronger then the lich king and willprobly be released ina later expansion but at his full power.

Kommentar von Thottbot

kil jaden is a puppet of saregas he made him join him without power but will.in wotlk to fight arthas you have to fight kelthuzad which closes of the shamans that will do something for the legion which will stop any more bosses from coming out of the portal. which means that after wotlok there is three more possilble expansions well of eternity emerald dream and malestrom which there can be two bosses saregas the uber giant all elements a couple billion health depending on level and queen ashara orthey do other bosses in the instance or they do the spirit world expansion where you meet with the spirits and fight medivh in his flesh form which was helped by hogger the final boss at level 150
