User:GoldenYak/Ku'reel

A death knight of the Scourge, and loyal acolyte of the former Lich King. After the fall of the Lich King, Ku'reel fled from Icecrown to avoid falling under the sway of the new Lich King, Bolvar Fordragon, and to hide from the vengeful forces of the Ashen Verdict. Banding together with other free undead that still adhere to the principles of Arthas, Ku'reel ventured into the depths of Azeroth's underworld. After learning of the abandoned city of Ahn'Vekir, Ku'reel traveled to the city intending to raise the long dead corpses interred there as an army of undead slaves.

Phase One - The Catacombs Gauntlet
The Vekir'esh Catacombs are built to protect the dead laid to rest from intruders. Players must run the gauntlet and navigate through the sealed gateways before they are overwhelmed by the undead raised by Ku'reel.







Phase Two - Champion the Fallen King








Sacrificial Dead Abilities






Strategy
The first part of the encounter begins when the players are dropped through a collapsing floor into the Vekir'esh Catacombs, the burial chambers beneath the city. Ku'reel is already there, raising corpses of nerubians and their victims into hordes of zombies. Players must flee the overwhelming horde of undead and make their way through the catacombs, fighting zombies that spawn in their path. There are three large sealed doors in the catacombs that must be opened using pressure plates that are activated by players in a specific sequence. If they are not activated correctly, the door will not open and the puzzle will reset.

Once players have passed through the third door and reached the final burial chamber, trap floors will open that prevent the zombie horde from advancing. Ku'reel will then engage the players directly, and use all of his phase two abilities until he is defeated.

Heroic Mode Strategy

 * The chamber that Ku'reel is fought in is a trap - the walls sprout spikes and will gradually move in and crush players. Anyone nearby a wall while it's closing in will take massive physical damage and be knocked back towards the center of the room. When the walls reach the center of the chamber, they will close in and crush all players, killing them instantly.

Achievement

 * Elbow Room - Defeat Ku'reel before the trap walls are more than half closed.
