Template:Battle

The Battle of Angrathar the Wrathgate is a battle between the united forces of both the Alliance and the Horde against the undead Scourge. Highlord Bolvar Fordragon and Dranosh Saurfang challenged the Lich King at the very entrance of Icecrown Citadel, Angrathar the Wrathgate, and Saurfang was slain. However, the Forsaken, led by Grand Apothecary Putress, attacked from the cliffs above the Gate with catapults loaded with their New Plague, killing most of the Alliance-Horde forces including Bolvar and driving the Lich King back into his fortress.

Upon the completion of the quests [74] Return to Angrathar/ [74] Return to Angrathar, a cutscene plays showing the battle of Angrathar the Wrathgate. The cutscene can be repeated by speaking to Alexstrasza, who stands on the fiery battlefield.

Transcript

Highlord Bolvar Fordragon walks among his troops out of the lower level of Fordragon Hold toward the Court of Skulls.

Alliance Soldier 1: Highlord Bolvar! Thank the Light!

Alliance Soldier 2: For Lordaeron!

Alliance Soldier 3: For the Alliance!

Bolvar roars as he and his men charge into the undead.

Highlord Fordragon: Back, you mindless wretches!

The gates open and Scourge vrykul, shouting in their native tongue, charge out as the lesser undead fall back.

Highlord Fordragon: Fight on, brothers!

As the battle continues, Dranosh Saurfang observes the conflict from the ledge of the Kor'kron Vanguard overlooking the field and raises his axe to rally his soldiers.

Dranosh Saurfang: Rise up, sons of the Horde! Blood and glory await us!

Back at the battle, Bolvar glances up at the sound of an orcish horn and Dranosh shouting "Victory or death!" in orcish as he and his troops arrive.

Dranosh Saurfang: Lok'tar ogar! For the Horde!

Horde army: FOR THE HORDE!

Bolvar and Dranosh fight side-by-side.

Highlord Fordragon: I was wondering if you'd show up!

Dranosh Saurfang: I couldn't let the Alliance have ALL the fun today!

Dranosh swings his axe, killing three undead vrykul in one slash. The vrykul forces dispatched, Bolvar and Dranosh approach the gate with their combined army grouped together behind them. Dranosh glances at Bolvar, apparently giving him the lead to speak.

Highlord Fordragon: Arthas! The blood of your father, of your people, demands justice! Come forth, coward, and answer for your crimes!

The gate rumbles and opens again as Dranosh growls, revealing the Lich King, Frostmourne in hand.

The Lich King: You speak of justice? Of cowardice? I will show you the justice of the grave and the true meaning of fear.

As the Lich King approaches, undead legions rise behind him.

Dranosh Saurfang: Enough talk! Let it be finished!

Dranosh charges, roaring. The Lich King swings Frostmourne, shattering Dranosh's axe and killing the orc instantly. Bolvar and the Horde army can only watch in horror as his body falls to the ground. Frostmourne consumes the soul of the slain orc. When Bolvar next speaks, there is no mistaking the seething anger in his voice.

Highlord Fordragon: You will pay for all the lives you've stolen, traitor.

The Lich King: Boldly stated, but there is nothing you can—

An explosion and a green cloud, accompanied by screams of pain behind Bolvar interrupts the confrontation.

The Lich King: What?

Laughter emanates from the heights above both the Wrathgate and the Kor'kron Vanguard as Grand Apothecary Putress approaches the ledge.

Grand Apothecary Putress: Did you think we had forgotten? Did you think we had forgiven?

As he speaks, Forsaken catapults roll into view on both sides of him.

Grand Apothecary Putress: Behold, now, the terrible vengeance of the Forsaken!

The Lich King: Sylvanas...

The catapults fire, unleashing plague bombs onto the battlefield.

Grand Apothecary Putress: Death to the Scourge! And death to the living!

The plague explodes across the field, killing Scourge, Alliance and Horde soldiers alike.

Highlord Fordragon: Fall back!

The forces not killed by the plague flee from the Wrathgate as many more die around Bolvar. Even the Lich King is affected as he falls to his knees, coughing and hacking. With a roar, Arthas comes to his feet and retreats from the field, back into Icecrown Citadel.

The Lich King: This isn't over.

The gate closes. Putress laughs.

Grand Apothecary Putress: Now, all can see this is the hour of the Forsaken.

Putress leaves. On the field below, Bolvar falls to his hands and knees, wretching, then glances up towards Fordragon Hold to where he had left the Alliance adventurer to stand guard.

Highlord Fordragon: (thinking) We're finished. No escape... for any of us.

Bolvar glances towards Wyrmrest Temple and sees dragons approaching. Finally, he rolls to his back as he succumbs to the plague and appears to die just as the dragons, members of the Red flight, arrive. The dragons incinerate the Forsaken catapults and the plague clouds as well as most of the Forsaken before flying back to the temple.

-'''Dire Maul''' is a three-wing [[instance]] found in northcentral [[Feralas]]. It was once a proud [[Highborne]] city called [[Eldre'Thalas]], but now lies in ruins, overrun by [[ogre]]s, [[satyrs]], and [[undead]]. Only a tiny remnant of the original Highborne population remains in the form of a murderous sect called the [[Shen'dralar]]. The enemy [[level]] range is 54 to 61, making it one of the highest-level pre-''[[World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade|Burning Crusade]]'' instances. Dire Maul was designed for [[parties]] of five, and characters must be at least level 45 to enter any of the three wings.

+The '''Battle of Angrathar the Wrathgate''' is a battle between the united forces of both the [[Alliance]] and the [[Horde]] against the undead [[Scourge]]. [[Highlord Bolvar Fordragon]] and [[Dranosh Saurfang]] challenged the [[Lich King]] at the very entrance of [[Icecrown Citadel]], [[Angrathar the Wrathgate]], and Saurfang was slain.

-== History ==
-{{wow-dungeons}}
-:''Built twelve thousand years ago by a covert sect of [[night elf]] sorcerers, the ancient city of [[Eldre'Thalas]] was used to protect [[Queen Azshara]]'s most prized arcane secrets. Though it was ravaged by the [[Great Sundering]] of the world, much of the wondrous city still stands as the imposing Dire Maul. The ruins' three distinct districts have been overrun by all manner of creatures — especially the spectral Highborne, foul satyr and brutish ogres. Only the most daring party of adventurers can enter this broken city and face the ancient evils locked within its ancient vaults.''
+Upon the completion of the quests {{questlong|Alliance|74|Return To Angrathar (Alliance)|Return to Angrathar}}/{{questlong|Horde|74|Return To Angrathar (Horde)|Return to Angrathar}}, a cutscene plays showing the battle of Angrathar the Wrathgate. The cutscene can be repeated by speaking to [[Alexstrasza]], who stands on the fiery battlefield.
-==Geography and Layout==
-Dire Maul contains three wings in two instances. The wings are known as Dire Maul East, West and North. The West and North wings are contained in a single instance, and are connected via [[The Athenaeum]]. At the center of Dire Maul, connecting the three wings, is an open plaza populated by ogres and containing a special [[PvP]] arena. This [[The Maul|arena]], consisting of a rectangular pit with entrances and exits on the east and west sides, is similar to the [[Gurubashi Arena]] in [[Stranglethorn Vale]], in that "free for all" PvP combat is permitted within its confines. Every six hours, a [[rare mob]] spawns in the arena ([[Skarr the Unbreakable]], [[The Razza]] or [[Mushgog]]). These mobs drop [[BoE]] [[blue]] items.
+<div class="tright"><youtube>fxYOKOgEHt4</youtube></div>
-The entrances to Dire Maul West and North are [[locked]] and may only be opened with the {{loot|common|Crescent Key}}, with a {{loot|Common|Powerful Seaforium Charge}} or {{loot|common|Elemental Seaforium Charge}}, a [[rogue]] with [[Lockpicking]] of 300 or higher; also by a Blacksmith who has either {{loot|uncommon|Arcanite Skeleton Key}}, {{loot|uncommon|Cobalt Skeleton Key}} or {{loot|uncommon|Titanium Skeleton Key}}. The Crescent Key may be obtained by killing the [[imp]] [[Pusillin]] in Dire Maul East. In addition to permitting access to the other wings of the instance, the Crescent Key allows characters to enter Dire Maul East via a short-cut at the [[Lariss Pavillion]], located immediately north of [[Camp Mojache]].

-===Dire Maul East===
+:''{{NPC||Bolvar Fordragon||Highlord Bolvar Fordragon}} walks among his troops out of the lower level of [[Fordragon Hold]] toward the [[Court of Skulls]].''
-Dire Maul East (aka '''Warpwood Quater''') has been taken over by the nefarious [[Alzzin the Wildshaper]], a satyr who has corrupted the Fruit of Fertility tree so that it produces vile {{loot|common|Felvine Shard|Felvine Shards}}. Alzzin has attracted all manner of corrupted plant life, satyrs, [[mages]] and [[demons]] to his cause. The entire district is overgrown with crazed plant life. Dire Maul East is considered the easiest of the three wings and requires no key to enter.

-===Dire Maul West===
+The video file can be found in the Warcraft install directory listed below, and is watchable using the ffdshow codec pack, freely available on the internet or with the VLC Media Player.
-Dire Maul West (a.k.a '''Capital Gardens''') is haunted by the [[ghost]]s and [[skeletons]] of deceased Highborne, and is home to a variety of arcane creatures, including [[ancients]] and [[mana surge]]s.  Yet the most notable resident of Dire Maul West is [[Immol'thar]], a demon imprisoned on this plane by [[Prince Tortheldrin]].  Millennia ago, the Prince, aided by his Shen'dralar loyalists, constructed five mystical pylons to bind Immol'thar so that they could siphon his energy to sustain their immortality.  Warlocks must go to this prison and summon their [[dreadsteed]] for the quest {{questclass|neutral|Warlock|60D|Dreadsteed of Xoroth}}.  [[Tendris Warpwood]], a corrupted [[Ancient of War]], also resides in Dire Maul West.  [[Alliance]] [[paladins]] must slay him as part of the [[quest]] {{questclass|Alliance|Paladin|60D|Ancient Equine Spirit}} in order to obtain their [[charger]].  In addition, Tendris Warpwood also guards the door leading from Dire Maul West into Immol'thar's prison, where players can also access [[The Athenaeum]].
+;Mac OS X
-===Dire Maul North===
+<tt>/Applications/World of Warcraft/Data/enUS/Interface/Cinematics</tt>
-Dire Maul North (a.k.a '''Gordok Commons''') is considered the hardest, or, at the very least, the most interesting and unusual, wing of Dire Maul. The district is now occupied by a tribe of ogres known as the [[Gordok]]. Dire Maul is unique in that parties adventuring there have a choice.  They may, in the traditional fashion, kill all the various bosses in the instance for some guaranteed rare drops, or they can use a series of [[crafting]], questing and sneaking tasks to perform a "[[Dire Maul tribute run|tribute run]]." In a tribute run the characters only kill [[King Gordok]], ruler of the Gordok tribe, while keeping the other bosses alive.  As a reward for sparing the lives of the other instance bosses, the characters receive higher quality, though fewer, rare drops from a tribute chest. In addition, the Gordok proclaim the characters as kings, which grants access to a variety of two-hour [[buffs]] and the quest {{questlong|Neutral|60D|Unfinished Gordok Business}}.

-;Doing Dire Maul in one visit
-Some tips for doing Dire Maul in just one visit:
-* Start with Dire Maul East to get the key.
-* Plan to do a [[Dire Maul tribute run|Tribute Run]]. Keep [[Captain Kromcrush]] and [[Stomper Kreeg]] alive as quests are available from them after the tribute run is complete.
-* Remember to speak to the [[Shen'dralar Ancient]] before killing [[Immol'thar]].
-* You need to kill Immol'thar to make Prince Tortheldrin hostile and to loot the chest behind the Prince to complete Captain Kromcrush's quest.
-;Dire Maul East
-*Enter from the northwest (there are three entrances) or make your way there and speak with [[Pusillin]] (#1 on the map), in the northwest corner by the broken walkway, to get him to move (this is on the 2nd floor of the room that [[Old Ironbark]], #2 on the map, is in). Chase Pusillin to the north east corner of this main room and then speak with him again.
-**Follow him east into the large room and go upstairs (#5 on the map). Speak with him again to fight him. Pick up the {{loot|common|Crescent Key}} from his corpse.
-*When you return towards the main room, turn south and enter a large room (#3 on the map). Three bosses reside here ([[Hydrospawn]], [[Lethtendris]], and [[Zevrim Thornhoof]]), but only [[Zevrim Thornhoof]] must be killed to finish Dire Maul East.
-*After killing [[Zevrim Thornhoof]], take the spiral stairway downstairs to safely reach the room with [[Old Ironbark]] (#2 on the map). Speak with him to have him break down the door on the north side. Go through the passage to #4.
-*In the final room make your way down one side of the circle, clear the mobs in front of [[Alzzin the Wildshaper]], and then kill him.
-**Grab a [[Felvine Shard]], the red crystals located near the back by the thorny vine, if you have {{questlong|neutral|60D|Shards of the Felvine}} (can be acquired at Level 56). This quest requires the pre-requisite {{questlong|neutral|60|A Reliquary of Purity}}, which takes you to [[Silithus]].

-== Notes, Tips, & Additional Info ==
-* Also known as DM, which is an abbreviation shared with [[The Deadmines]]. When in doubt, check the level of the person asking for a group (shift click their name). Some players try to avoid confusion by abbreviating Dire Maul to DiM or The Deadmines to VC (after the final boss [[Edwin VanCleef]]). This may not apply, however, since before the dungeon finder people running Dire Maul would abbreviate what part of Dire Maul they are running, i.e.: Dire Maul: East (DM East), Dire Maul: North (DM North), etc.
-* Dire Maul is one of seven 5-man instances added to the game via patch, the other six being [[Maraudon]], [[Magisters' Terrace]], [[Trial of the Champion]], [[Forge of Souls]], [[Pit of Saron]] and [[Halls of Reflection]].
-===World of Warcraft: The Comic===
-[[File:Diremaulcomic.JPG|thumb|Dire Maul]]
-{{Comic-section}}
-In [[World of Warcraft: The Comic]], Dire Maul is featured prominently as the location of the [[Crimson Ring]]'s annual championship gladiator matches. The gladiatorial games begins with individual single combat matches and which ever gladiator team can survive the individual trials intact can advance to team combat matches to vie for the team championship. It is presumed that members of the teams who were unable to advance to team combat matches continue to fight in single combat matches to vie for the single combat championship(such as [[Bloodeye Redfist]]).[[Rehgar Earthfury]]'s team, consisting of an amnesic [[Varian Wrynn]], [[Broll Bearmantle]], and [[Valeera Sanguinar]], claimed victory over the previous year's team champions: [[Giago]], [[Two-Heads]], and [[Brlee]] (members of the [[Gordunni]] Clan of Ancient Draenor).
