Mal'Ganis is the last boss of the Culling of Stratholme instance.

Adventure Guide[]

The destiny of Mal'Ganis has already been written. Arthas's hatred for the dreadlord will cause the prince to travel to Northrend and take up Frostmourne. But this will only happen if Mal'Ganis finds him worthy. To prove his worthiness and begin down his path to becoming the Lich King, Arthas must survive Mal'Ganis's onslaught.

Attacks and abilities[]

  • Spell nature sleep Sleep Magic Effect — Mal'Ganis puts a player to sleep for up to 10 (8) sec. Any damage caused will awaken the player.
  • Spell shadow unholyfrenzy Mind Blast — Mal'Ganis inflicts Shadow damage to random player.
  • Spell shadow vampiricaura Vampiric Touch — Mal'Ganis' vampiric touch heals him for 50% of his damage done with melee attacks.
  • Spell shadow carrionswarm Carrion Swarm — Mal'Ganis creates a wave of chaotic magic that splashes over players in front of him, inflicting Shadow damage and additional Shadow damage every 3 sec. for 15 sec.

Strategies[]

Mal'Ganis will spawn when the party enters "Crusader Square" at the end of the instance. Arthas will aid the party in the encounter, but does not tank the boss and does not do any special abilities. Mal'Ganis is like Anetheron, with an AoE spell and a Sleep spell. The party should position themselves behind him and as spread out as possible to avoid taking too much damage from this when he targets any given player. Sleep should be dispelled all the time. If not, it is also possible to use PvP trinkets and other similar methods like Spell frost frost [Ice Block].

His Spell holy stoicism [Vampiric Touch] buff can, and should be, dispelled as soon as possible.

When Mal'Ganis reaches 1% health, he escapes, breaking combat and disappearing after a little speech. The loot from the encounter is from a chest left behind. If the party wipes, Mal'Ganis despawns. Speak to Arthas to restart the encounter.
