Kologarn Boss Strategy
First and foremost, it’s important to know that Kologarn will remain completely stationary, you cannot turn him what-so-ever. If there are no melee players within his range Kologarn will cast petrifying breath (detailed above).
In order to tank Kologarn you’ll need 3 geared tanks. These tanks will stand on top of each other and participate in a taunt rotation. After one tank has 2 stacks overhead smash another tank should taunt, allowing this debuff to drop. Repeat as necessary. It’s of absolute most importance that all 3 tanks stay alive.
In addition to simply dealing with the main boss Kologarn also has 2 arms. These arms have special abilities that deal out damage to the raid. The left arm will hit the entire raid for 12,000 damage periodically. The right arm will periodicaly pick up a player and deal damage to them until that arm has taken 450,000 damage. Healers will need to focus heals on the player in the arm’s grasp.
If you kill an arm a set of earth elementals will spawn. These should be killed promptly. The left and right arms are both on a 60 second respawn timer. In respawning health is siphioned from the boss to regenerate the arms.
Ulduar Instance Guide & Boss Strategies

Ulduar is blizzard’s newest instance creation and the first major patch development project for Wrath of the Lich King. This instance features some of blizzard’s finest design work and will certainly be one of the most challenging dungeons yet.
Ulduar is the first dungeon to be developed with various in-fight difficulty levels. Of course, there are normal and heroic (10 / 25 man) modes, but in addition many fights now have a “hard mode”. This works similar to the way Sartharion worked, with the addition of each drake ramping up the overall difficulty of the fight. All normal, heroic, and “hard mode” difficulties will be covered below in the individual ulduar boss strategies guides below.
