Loot

Svala Sorrowgrave was a vrykul who had been turned into a val'kyr by the Lich King. As uninvited guests entered her room, an image of the Lich King congratulated her for having done a great service, for she was the one who discovered the Alliance and Horde's plans to invade Utgarde, allowing them to prepare. She is the first boss of Utgarde Pinnacle.

Adventure Guide[]

Svala distinguished herself as Ingvar the Plunderer's lieutenant, leading perilous scouting missions in Horde and Alliance outposts. It was she who discovered the enemy's plans to invade Utgarde, giving the Lich King time to prepare. For her service, he has transformed her into a val'kyr, revered warrior maiden of the Scourge.

Strategies[]

Normal - This fight is quite easy. Sorrowgrave's damage is low, and the adds have low health.

Every 20 seconds or so she will sacrifice a party member. She rises to the ceiling and teleports the targeted member to the altar. Three adds appear and channel a spell holding the party member in place.

You have approximately 8 seconds to kill all the adds before the sword reaches the altar and kills the sacrifice target. Spell frost frost [Ice Block] can be used to avoid the sacrifice, it is unknown whether other abilities also work. These abilities do not remove the sacrifice on Heroic Mode.

Heroic - The adds have much more health and apply a dot to any player who casts a direct damage spell on them. Having substantial AOE damage is useful for killing the adds in time.
