Karazhan is Amazing!!!

My first Kara run was amazing! It’s probably one of the coolest things I’ve done in the game. The look, music & boss encounters are just awesome! The place is huge and I have to admit that I was a little overwhelmed in the beginning. You get to the first boss encounter right away, which is Attumen the Huntsman. However, before Attumen spawns you have to engage his horse Midnight. Once you get Midnight down to 95% of his health, Attumen will spawn. One of the raid’s tanks must deal with Attumen, while the rest of the raid fights Midnight. Once Midnight is reduced to 25%, Attumen & Midnight merge & you have to fight them together! Very fun fight. My guild usually breaks Kara into 2 nights. On night 1, the first four bosses are done & the rest are done on night 2. Well, our group did so well, we were finished with the first four bosses before 10 pm & the raid was scheduled to go to 11:30 pm. So everyone decided to continue on! Before I knew it, we had cleared the whole instance (11 boss encounters in all) & I earned 22 Badges of Justice! I also got two really nice upgrades to my equipment. It was an incredible experience.

Two of the coolest boss encounters for me were the opera event & the chess event. In the opera even, one of three different encounters can happen. We got one that was a remake of Romeo & Juliet....lol. The trick to that fight is that you have to kill both bosses within 10 seconds of each other or they resurrect! In the Chess event, you don’t fight with your character at all! You actually play a version of chess against Medivh! Each member of the raid gets to control a chess piece & the object is to kill the opposing King. I was very confused at first, but got the hang of it. All in all, it was a fantastic night & I hope I get to go again!
