Exploring the Troll Keep
While exploring in the Wrath of the Lich King there are several key instances that players will really want to check out. One such instance is Drak'Tharon Keep, which players will remember from Warcraft III as the place that Prince Arthas stayed when he was searching for the runeblade Frostmourne. It can be found located between the northern border of Grizzly Hills and the southern border of Zul'Drak. The instance is the fourth level-up instance in the expansion and features primarily trolls and undead, sometimes both at once. Join Byron "Messiah" Mudry as he walks you through the instance and provides all the information you need to be successful there.
At the top of the third platform you come face to face with the fourth and final boss of Drak'Tharon Keep, The Prophet Thraron'ja. The Prophet is a large flying skeletal wind serpent who has many abilities which make the fight one of the most interesting encounter yet in the beta. The fight is made up of two main phases. In one phase, the one you start the fight in, he appears in skeleton form and can cast a damaging shadowbolt or a nasty curse. The shadowbolt can hit for over 2500 damage and the curse drains up to half of a players life, but does not kill them.
You can find all the details in the Drak'Tharon Keep Guide.
