Strategies

This fight is relatively complicated but not difficult once learned.

When the fight begins, Skadi the Ruthless will mount his proto-drake and fly up into the air, beginning a gauntlet style event. Your party must work their way about 150yd up a hallway fighting 4-5 waves of 5-6 Frost Vrykul each.

While you are fighting through the gauntlet, Skadi will fly over on his drake and cast frostfire on the ground in long strips. Standing in the fire does ~3k a second.

Ymirjar Harpooners will drop harpoons that stick in the ground. Party members need to loot the harpoons along the way.

When you reach the end of the gauntlet, there are three harpoon guns mounted on the edge of the keep. Occasionally you will see the emote that "Skadi is in Range of the Harpoons" and a party member, who has a harpoon, needs to use the harpoon gun.

After 4-5 hits with harpoons, Skadi's drake will die and he will dismount. From this point on the adds stop spawning and it is essentially a tank and spank. He has an ability that does ~6k damage to the tank and stuns him for 2 seconds. Skadi will also occasionally cast whirlwind, which hits for ~2k, and target a random party member. The targeted party member must kite the boss away from the rest of party to reduce overall damage taken.

Easiest way to do it

Disclaimer: You cannot complete the achievement "Lodi Dodi We Loves the Skadi" by using the following.

The gauntlet resets if everyone runs into the previous room so to make it easier, have four people stand in the previous room and let one person go in and start the event. That person then runs back to the rest of the group, resetting the gauntlet. After that, everyone needs to quickly run all the way to the back near the harpoon launchers. Once the boss respawns, have one person go start the gauntlet. Make sure the tank is standing inside the little room where the mobs spawn because all of the initial mobs will spawn there at the same time. Make use of this now before the developers add a door preventing this obvious flaw.
