WoW Blog/Halls of Lightning

This article is a copy of "Timewalking Highlight: Halls of Lightning", an official blog by Blizzard Entertainment. It's about the Halls of Lightning dungeon that was 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.

Upon departing Azeroth, the titans entrusted loyal protectors with safeguarding Ulduar, an enigmatic city nestled in the mountains of the Storm Peaks. Designated supreme among his brethren was the guardian known as Loken, but with the power of the titan complex in his hands, he turned to darkness and plunged the region into chaos.

The reasons for Loken's treachery and the fate of the other guardians remain a mystery, but there have been whispers of a great evil at work behind the fall of the titan city. For any heroes brave enough to seek out the truth, it lies within the corridors of the ancient compound. Thus far, however, few have braved the perils of Ulduar and returned to tell of their discoveries.

• Watch Bjarngrim for a little while, and don't pull him while he's electrifying.
• Stay away from Volkhan's minions when they freeze up.
• Ionar is all about the electricity. He chases you with it. He makes you explode it. Spread out!
• Loken requires you to stay close together, even when it's time to run away.

If you haven't earned these achievements already, completing this dungeon will award Halls of Lightning and Heroic: Halls of Lightning.

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

• Lightning Struck
• Shatter Resistant
• Timely Death

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.
