Angerboda now possesses the powers of life and death, the means to forge an army without limit. One that will overwhelm the world.

Dungeon Journal
Queen of the vrykul and the undead. Angerboda has seized the Helm of Domination from Bolvar Fordragon and schemes to usurp the mantle of the Lich King from him utterly. Within the depths of Utgarde Catacombs she plans to raise up the slumbering dead of countless generations, an unstoppable army backed by the lost power of the titans. If she is not defeated, her legions will conquer Northrend and set their sights on other realms. And the crown must be returned to Bolvar, before the slumbering Scourge awaken...

Phase One - The Stoneforge
Angerboda has taken control of this ancient titan creation engine, giving her the means to create vrykul of living stone. During phase one she will hover above the Stoneforge, using her powers to activate it. The Stoneforge still festers with the Curse of Flesh that the Old Gods infected it with, preventing the titan technology from rejecting Angerboda's twisted control. Restoring the Stoneforge is the key to halting Angerboda.

The Stone Legions
Legions of stone vrykul will spawn throughout phase one.

Stoneforged Legate




Within the Machine
Located on the terrace is a teleport platform. When activated, all players within range of the platform will be transported inside the Stoneforge itself. Players will need to navigate the interior of the engine to find Titan Core chambers. The four Titan Cores are pillar-like mechanisms that are suffused with the Curse of Flesh, the corruption of the Old Gods. They must be purged of corruption in order to restore the Stoneforge and stop Angerboda.



Phase Two - The Death Queen
Phase Two begins when all four Corrupted Titan Cores have been purged of corruption and rendered Pure. In Phase Two, Angerboda will engage the raid directly. She will freeze the four Titan Cores with Crimson Winter and then attack. Over the course of the phase, the Stoneforge's Corruption level will rise. When it reaches 100, Phase Two ends and Phase One repeats. The encounter will end when Angerboda's health is reduced to zero.



Heroic Mode Only - Phase Three - The Curse of Flesh
In heroic mode, after Angerboda falls, the corruption within the Stoneforge rises and takes on physical form - the Curse Incarnate. All players will be drawn into the machine itself to confront it.

Strategy
In phase one, Angerboda has taken advantage of the dark energy polluting the Stoneforge and is using it to create vrykul under her control. To restore the Stoneforge, players must purge it of the corruption that pollutes it, as well as contend with the stone vrykul being generated by the Stoneforge. While the bulk of the raid must remain atop the Forge, a smaller team must use the Teleport Platform to transport inside the Forge itself.

Within the Forge, players must clear away the corruption from the four Titan Cores so they can be activated and raised up to the surface. Corrupted Titan Cores that are raised to the surface will be purged of their corruption. This corruption can be used to weaken the stone vrykul and render them vulnerable. Players can also choose to raise a Pure Titan Core in order to deal extra damage to the vrykul on the surface. Players within the Stoneforge will be suffering from radiation damage, and will be forced to retreat before it grows too dangerous. Players will need to be rotated between Forge surface and Forge interior teams.

Once all four Titan Cores are purged, phase one ends and phase two begins.

In phase two, Angerboda will descend and attack the raid directly. At the beginning of the phase she will encase the four pure Titan Cores in ice, allowing the corruption within the Forge to build back up. Players will have the opportunity to attack and damage Angerboda while the corruption in the Forge is replenished. Once this occurs, Angerboda will retreat and phase one will begin again. It may take multiple phase twos before Angerboda's health is fully depleted. Doing so will end the encounter.

Heroic Mode

 * Mote of Corruption - Periodically in Phase Two, corruption wells up from within the Stoneforge, spawning Motes of Corruption at random that make their way towards the frozen Titan Cores. If a Mote of Corruption reaches a Titan Core, the Stoneforge will gain a large amount of corruption. Slaying a Mote of Corruption deals a burst of shadow damage to all targets and leaves behind a Pool of Corruption that deals periodic shadow damage to anyone standing in it. Pools of Corruption will persist until they are dispersed by a Systems Purge.
 * Phase Three - A third combat phase will occur after Angerboda's health is depleted. Players must face the Curse Incarnate, a physical manifestation of the Curse of Flesh that pollutes the Stoneforge. The Curse is immune to player damage for the most part, but it can be damaged by Pure Core Beams generated by pure Titan Cores. The Curse will attempt to infect Titan Cores with dark energy, turning them into Corrupt Titan Cores that will heal it. Players can purify Corrupt Titan Cores by damaging them sufficiently. Shortly after a core becomes Pure, it will begin emitting Radiation, dealing periodic fire damage to anyone nearby. It will also raise Defensive Shields that seal off its chamber, which will trap players inside if they do not quickly leave the chamber. Pure Titan Cores will begin generating Pure Core Beams shortly after their Defensive Shields are raised.

Achievement

 * Heroic: Death Queen Angerboda - Defeat Death Queen Angerboda and the Curse Incarnate on heroic mode.
 * Stone Cutter - Defeat a Stoneforged Legate without turning it into a Fleshwracked Legate.
 * Four Core and Seven Seconds Ago - Activate four Corrupted Titan Cores within seven seconds of each other at any point during phase one of the encounter, then defeat Death Queen Angerboda.
