The Forge of Souls Dungeon Guide
The Forge of Souls can be found in Icecrown and will be released as part of a later phase in Wrath of the Lich King Classic. The recommended level range to run this dungeon on is Level 80 for both Normal and Heroic difficulties.
In this guide, we will cover dungeon quests, the layout of the dungeon, tactics for each boss, loot that can be obtained, and ideal group compositions.
The Forge of Souls Quests
Before heading into The Forge of Souls, we advise you to get all the dungeon quests related to it. To make this process easier, we have written a separate guide for the quests and their chains.
The Forge of Souls Entrance Location

The Forge of Souls entrance can be found in the far South of Icecrown, on the Southern side of the Icecrown Citadel structure.
Overview of Bosses in The Forge of Souls
Here we will give you a full rundown of what you can expect from each of the bosses found here on both Normal and Heroic difficulties as well as the items they drop.
Bronjahm
Mechanics and Strategy
Shadow Bolt
Magic's Bane
Corrupt Soul — Corrupted Soul Fragment
Consume Soul
Teleport
Soulstorm —
Soulstorm
Fear
Whenever Bronjahm targets a player with Corrupt Soul, they
should run as far away from the boss as possible. After a short cast, a
Corrupted Soul Fragment will spawn on top of that player and quickly
head toward Bronjahm. If it reaches him, he will heal for a large amount.
Quickly kill the Soul Fragment to prevent the healing.
At 35% health, Bronjahm will cast Teleport, going to the center of
the room. Then he will cast
Soulstorm, covering the entire room
in a large tornado. Standing on top of Bronjahm prevents players from taking
damage as he is the eye of the storm. Occasionally Bronjahm will cast
Fear on a random player, causing them to run into the storm. Healers
should be ready to quickly heal this player till they can get back on top of
Bronjahm.

Devourer of Souls
Mechanics and Strategy
It is important to interrupt the Phantom Blast as often as possible
as it is constantly cast multiple times in quick succession. Whenever
Devourer of Souls uses
Well of Souls, it will jump to a
random player and leave a
Well of Souls on the floor, dealing high
damage to anyone inside.
Devourer of Souls will also periodically cast one of three different
abilities that drastically alter the fight. If Mirrored Soul is cast,
any damage the boss takes will be reflected to the afflicted player. You must
stop attacking the boss while this spell is out or you will most likely kill a
player in your party.
If Unleashed Souls is cast, a large number of Unleashed Souls
will be summoned. These will attack random targets and can only be healed
through. If the damage from these adds is too high, try to kite them around
until they despawn. Finally, if
Wailing Souls is cast, the boss will
blast a huge beam of damage to any enemies in front of them, dealing high
Shadow damage and knocking them back. Stay behind the boss until this beam
finishes casting.
