They finally released Pit of Saron in WOTLK Classic Phase 4. This WOTLK Classic Pit of Saron Boss Guide covers all bosses in Normal and Heroic Mode. Here, we’ll provide information on each boss fight, including the best strategies you need to know to defeat them.

Most dungeon bosses in WOTLK Classic do not have uncommon abilities or mechanics in Heroic Mode compared to Normal Mode. It’s just that some Heroic dungeons may add new bosses that are not available in Normal Mode.

Forgemaster Garfrost

Forgemaster Garfrost is an ice-covered flesh giant whose job is to forge Saronite Ore weapons and armor for Scourge. He is one of two encounters you need to defeat before unlocking the passage to Scourgelord Tyrannus and Halls of Reflection.

Garfrost will be the first boss you encounter in Pit of Saron. Defeat him and you will receive “Doesn’t Go to Eleven” achievement and generous loot. These items will help you accumulate enough WOTLK Classic Gold in the early stages of Phase 4.

Next, let’s take a look at Forgemaster Garfrost’s main abilities.

First, his Permafrost deals 200 Frost damage to enemies within sight and applies a stacking debuff to enemies. This increases Frost damage taken by enemies by 10% for 3 seconds. The aura pulses every 2 seconds.

His Forge Frostborn Mace increases Frost damage by 100%. But only used when Garfrost’s health reaches 66% and 33%.

Meanwhile, he will throw a Saronite boulder at a random target location. This knocks any player within 6 yards away and inflicts 3,500 physical damage.

Also note that Chilling Wave will cause 1,850 Frost damage to enemies 65 yards in front of the caster. Deep Freeze reduces a random target’s movement speed by 50% and inflicts 4,000 Frost damage for 14 seconds after the spell ends.

Once you attack Forgemaster Garfrost or one skeleton, they will all join the fight. Everyone in the party will receive a stacking aura debuff, increasing Frost damage taken. You need to hide behind a boulder for 3 seconds after Garfrost throws it. This will reset the stack.

When Garfrost reaches 66% and 33% health, he will be busy forging to receive a weapon that increases his frost damage. This is your best chance to kill him.

Krick And Ick

Ick is a Plague Eruptor and Krick’s mount. Both will be your second boss’ encounter in Pit of Saron.

First, their Pustulant Flesh will deal 3,750-6,250 Nature damage to the target, and an additional 2,000 Nature damage every 5 seconds for 10 seconds.

Next, Toxic Waste will cause approximately 3,000 points of natural damage to enemies in a small area every 2 seconds for 10 seconds. Poison Nova will cause 12,000 points of Nature damage to enemies within 15 yards, and an additional 1,500 points of Nature damage every 3 seconds for 21 seconds.

His Pursuit Confusion reduces the player’s movement speed by 50% and increases damage by 50%. Also, Ick is immune to taunts during pursuit.

Finally, he will also use Explosive Barrage to summon many Exploding Orbs, causing 3,000 arcane damage to enemies within 6 yards.

You need to avoid the green puddles Ick creates on the ground in time, and don’t stand in front of the boss. Once Arcane Orb is summoned, keep moving and stay away from them. When Ick chases you, run until he drops you.

Scourgelord Tyrannus

Scourgelord Tyrannus is a Death Knight who rides the frost wyrm Rimefang. He is the final boss that players encounter in Pit of Saron.

First, he will knock back enemies with Forceful Smash, causing 28,275-31,725 points of physical damage. He will also brand his enemies with Overlord’s Brand, causing all damage dealt by the branded enemy to be mirrored to the caster’s primary target. And all healing done by the branded enemy will be amplified and mirrored on the caster.

He grants the caster dark power, increasing physical damage by 75% but reducing movement speed by 50% for 10 seconds.

Mark of Rimefang will mark the target of Rimefang’s attack, causing 4,813-6,187 Frost damage to enemies within 8 yards of the point of impact, and stunning them for 5 seconds.

Icy Blast will cause 4,813-6,187 Frost damage to enemies within 7 yards of the point of impact. It also reduces enemy movement speed by 75% and inflicts 2,313-2,687 Frost damage every 2 seconds.

Initially, Scourgelord Tyrannus would ride on Rimefang and give a brief speech. During this time, ranged DPS may attack him.

Rimefang will attack players from above, sometimes chasing targets designated by Tyrannus. Players should all spread out to minimize AOE damage.

When DPS is affected by Overlord’s Brand, he must stop dealing damage because the damage will be transferred to the tank. Healers should continue healing, although Tyrannus will benefit from these amplified treatments. After his buff wears off, the tank can recover and no longer risk taking high damage spikes.

Once you defeat Tyrannus, Rimefang will fly away and either Lady Jaina Proudmoore or Lady Sylvanas Windrunner will reappear and hand you over. They will then take you to the last new instance, Halls of Reflection. The entrance is at the end of the instance.

That’s a complete guide to Pit of Saron dungeon and all the bosses in it. Hopefully, this guide will help you win quickly in Pit of Saron. Good luck!
