WoW Blog/Utgarde Pinnacle

This article is a copy of "Timewalking Highlight: Utgarde Pinnacle", an official blog by Blizzard Entertainment. It's about the Utgarde Pinnacle dungeon that were made available for Timewalking.

In World of Warcraft Patch 6.2, we introduced a new series of seven different weekend Bonus Events, two of which feature Timewalking Dungeons—one in Outland dungeons for characters level 71 and higher, and another in Northrend dungeons for level 81 and higher. When you Timewalk these dungeons, your character's power and gear will be scaled down to a fraction of what they normally are, and as you may have never ventured into some (or any) of these dangerous places, it might be a good idea to prepare yourself now.

Utgarde Keep was long thought to be abandoned, a relic of a lost civilization among the central cliffs of the Howling Fjord. Yet in recent days something has roused the fortress' slumbering residents, the vrykul.

Feared to be allied with the Scourge, the savage race now terrorizes nearby settlements. With ferocious proto-dragons at their command and unparalleled prowess in battle, the vrykul pose a direct threat to Horde and Alliance campaigns in Northrend. Perhaps the only way to break the will of Utgarde's denizens is to defeat their revered leaders - but any heroes who fail in this task will surely become trophies to line the ancient halls of the vrykul fortress.

• During Svala's ritual sacrifice, you must focus fire on the Ritual Channelers.
• Spread out when fighting Gortok's Ravenous Furbolg!
• Skadi sometimes drops Reins of the Blue Proto-Drake. Talk this through with your party.
• Prepare all of your offensive and defensive dispels for King Ymiron.

If you haven't earned these achievements already, completing this dungeon will award Heroic: Utgarde Pinnacle and Utgarde Pinnacle.

If your group is superb and wants to go for it, you can also earn:

• Hail To The King, Baby
• King's Bane
• Lodi Dodi We Loves the Skadi
• My Girl Loves to Skadi All the Time
• The Incredible Hulk

Timewalking dungeons have come to WoW! During the Wrath of the Lich King Timewalking weekend, keep an eye out for the weekend-only quest "A Frozen Path Through Time", which rewards a Seal of Inevitable Fate when you complete five Wrath of the Lich King Timewalking dungeons.
