Forge of Souls Walkthrough

Forge of Souls Strategy Guide

There are three instances in Icecrown Citadel, which was part of patch 3.3, the last major piece of the Lich King expansion. Forge of Souls includes two new bosses. You’ve got to beat both of them before you can go on to the next Icecrown Citadel instance. Forge of Souls is a 5-man instance available in both normal and heroic modes. You have to beat the bosses in normal mode before you can attempt heroic mode.

Bronjahm Strategy Guide

The first boss you’ll encounter in the Forge of Souls is Bronjahm. Phase one of the battle is simply a tank and spank fight. The key to phase one of the fight against Bronjahm is the corrupted Soul Fragments. They show up as purple portal looking things, after Bronjahm casts Corrupt Soul on a party member. All party members must watch for this spell to be cast on them and run as far away as possible because the purple Corrupt Soul Fragment spawns from their position and heals Bronjahm when it reaches him. The greater distance the soul fragment has to travel to reach Bronjahm, the more time DPS will have to take it out before it reaches him. DPS MUST remember to switch to these soul fragments every time they appear.

Phase two of the battle against Bronjahm begins when he casts Soulstorm. It’s a whirling attack which will kill any party member that’s standing in it. Just stay in the middle and you’ll be fine. Bronjahm also fears party members during Soulstorm, so healers should watch for this and try to heal through it if the party member doesn’t have an ability to free himself from it.

The Devourer of Souls Strategy Guide

The Devourer of Souls is the second boss encounter in the Forge of Souls. Healers will be especially tied up healing the tank in this fight because his ability Phantom Blast does a lot of damage straight on the tank. This ability can interrupt it, so use all interrupting abilities you have on the Devourer of Souls.

The main thing to watch out for during the battle against the Devourer of Souls is when he casts Mirrored Soul. It’s pretty obvious right before he does it because the game tells you. Mirrored Soul kills the tank if your DPS doesn’t let up, so all DPS Must stop whenever he casts this spell.

He also casts a bunch of adds which can’t be targeted, so don’t worry too much about those. Just don’t stay in one place and let them kill you.
