Congrats to Fahllen on her Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings, and everyone in the guild that made it possible! And a shoutout as well to those that completed Glory of the Ulduar Raider for the Reins of the Rusted Proto-Drake!

Anub'arak down -- Heroic Coliseum awaits!

It took a single night of lag-free attempts to get through Anub'arak, and so now we'll set our sights on Heroic Coliseum! Check out the videos and strategies under Raid Events, and prepare to deal with giant spiky tank damage, tight enrage timers, and of course, fire. Please don't stand in the fire!

Hard mode Ulduar kills

With Flame Leviathan and XT down in hard mode, it's time to concentrate on some new targets. Stratfu has some excellent videos posted for Hodir and Thorim, and they are required viewing for the coming raids:

Yogg-Saron dead!

Congratulations to everyone involved in a super clean kill that totally did not go past the enrage timer. With Yogg-Saron down, it's time to focus on some hard modes! Hodir appears to be the easiest one, so let's focus on staying buffed all winter long, and bringing all our tools to bear to get Hodir down in 3 minutes!

Acetyx posted a link that was so good that the movie is a must watch in preparation for Yogg-Saron.

For an invite to a Yogg-Saron raid, you'll need to whisper an Officer what you'll be doing for phase two, in terms of kill order priority, portal usage, cleansing, brain linkage, and sanity preservation and recuperation.

Mimiron down and Vezax is easy -- Read up on Yogg-Saron!

After finishing off Mimiron, the next boss, General Vezax, should be a piece of cake. We took him out in 10-man after just a few attempts, and I have no doubt our 25-man will progress similarly. That just leaves Yogg-Saron for us, and he's a tough one. Please check out the videos in our forums for more information about this beast, and come prepared to do your job and keep your sanity!

Thorim and Hodir down - Mimiron next!

With Thorim and Hodir out of the way, we now set our sights on Mimiron, one of the most difficult (and fun) encounters in Ulduar. Be sure to read up on the strategy, watch the video, and get ready to avoid some rockets!

8 bosses down in Heroic Ulduar!

With only two nights of raiding this week, we managed to down 3 new bosses. After making short work of Iron Council, Auriaya, and Freya, we now set our sights on Mimiron, Thorim, and Hodir. Get your Frost Resist set ready for Hodir!

Two more bosses down in Ulduar

Last night saw the deaths of both Ignis and XT-002 in short order. After plenty of learning attempts on Wednesday, we went in with a solid plan and made quick work of both of these bosses. Next up is Kologarn, then Auriaya and the Assembly of Iron.

First week in Ulduar

Our first week in Ulduar was mix of success and fail. Success in terms of boss kills on Flame Leviathan, Razorscale, and the new Wintergrasp boss, Emalon. Fail in terms of the bugged version of Ignis that we'll have a better shot at next week. Either way, it's great to have some difficult content once again, and I'm looking forward to lots more boss kills and repair bills.
