Is he probobly gonna be the final boss of the new CoT instance? Cormundo 05:09, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes we fight and kill Mal'ganis in the new new CoT instance in the expansion. Leviathon 15:01, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
I don't think we'll kill him, just defeat him - his death does not come until Arthas has taken Frostmourne in Northrend. --User:Vorbis/Sig
Tigole specifically said we kill him though it would not be the first time Blizzard retconned Warcraft 3. In the story on Blizzards own WotLK site they do not bring up Mal'ganis once so it's possible they retconned that part. From the http://wow.mondespersistants.com/ interview:

"That was the moment that those buildings were lit on fire. We're gonna put you in a 5 person instance in Caverns of Time back in Tanaris Desert, alongside Arthas. So you gonna get to interact with him but back when he was a good guy so he's still wearing all this, you know, shining gold Alliance armor, and alongside of Arthas you're gonna adventure through that mission, light Stratholme on fire and kill Mal'ganis."

If it is a retcon then it's a pretty damn big retcon... who'd be left to lead Arthas to Northrend? --User:Vorbis/Sig
I seem to remember killing Mal'Ganis many, many times in that mission.--Geoffron 01:46, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Mal'ganis can reform after being "killed" as we saw in RoC, confirmed by Blizzard. [1] Warcraft 3 events won't be affected. --Raze 01:57, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I think it would be like the Kael'thas fight in Tempest Keep - where you can beat him, but he is not considered canonically "dead". --Joshmaul 05:20, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
