Kologarn is the sixth boss encounter in Ulduar released in patch 3.1.0. He guards the Shattered Walkway into central Ulduar where not only is he protecting the bridge, he is the bridge. Players fight not only him but two detachable arms that appear to be separate mobs that can be broken off of him.
25-man abilities

Strategy
Kologarn remains completely stationary in this encounter at all times. He cannot be turned or range tanked. If his aggro target is not in melee range, he casts Petrifying Breath on the raid, which will cause a wipe. His arms do not need to be offtanked, but can be separately targeted and hit within Kologarn's hitbox. Since their hitbox overlaps with Kologarn's, you need to face his torso to melee, not face the arm itself.
Two to three tanks need to be in taunt rotation front and center to Kologarn. Every 10–15 seconds, he casts Overhead Smash, which reduces the tank's armor by 25%. Stacking it on one tank 1-2 times and then rotating to the next tank. Keeping all tanks alive is vital, or you won't have enough tanks to rotate the debuffs. However, the debuff seems to be either avoidable with dodge/parry or somewhat random in its timing, because it will often drop off tanks for no obvious reason.
His arms each have unique raid-damaging abilities:
- His left arm sweeps the raid and simultaneouly hits everyone for 12,000. Healers must quickly heal the entire raid after a Shockwave from the left arm.
- His right arm uses Stone Grip on 3 random players (1 in normal mode) to squeeze them until the right arm takes 450,000 (150,000 in normal mode) damage. Those who are affected must be kept alive until the damage limit is hit.
Killing an arm will spawn a pack of earth elementals, which should be picked up by a tank and killed immediately. The arm respawns 60 seconds later, but when destroyed will take health equal to the arm's from the boss. Since they do a lot of AoE damage on heroic mode and give a debuff that increases physical damage taken, they should be tanked away from the main group with a dedicated tank. On normal mode, dragging them to the boss and killing them with incidental AoE works. Do NOT use AoE taunts on the elementals if you are not in melee range of the boss. Taunting the boss while out of melee range results in him casting Petrifying Breath on the raid.

Trivia
Kologarn's quotes are a reference to the Black Knight of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Kologarn is also seen in the 3.1.0 Ulduar trailer. It is safe to say he is responsible for driving out the famous explorer Brann Bronzebeard from Ulduar nearly killing him with his eye beams in the process, as that is the farthest in Ulduar he is seen.
