Overview of Bosses in Utgarde Pinnacle
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.
Svala Sorrowgrave
Mechanics and Strategy
Ritual of the Sword will teleport a random player to Svala Sorrowgrave's platform. Three adds will channel on that player, stunning them in place while a giant sword descends from above. If the sword touches any player, they will take massive damage, likely killing them. Quickly kill the 3 adds and move away from the falling sword. Ranged players may continue to attack the boss during this phase while she is flying in the air.

Gortok Palehoof

Skadi the Ruthless
Mechanics and Strategy
This encounter starts off with a gauntlet down a hallway. Run down the hallway and kill the adds that run in constantly. Look for mobs called Ymirjar Harpooners, as they will drop a harpoon that you need to attack Grauf, Skadi's mount. Whenever Grauf is in range of the cannons at the end of the hallway, click on the cannon after you have obtained a harpoon to bring Skadi to the floor.
When Skadi himself is on the ground, deal with any remaining adds before attacking the boss himself. Avoid his Whirlwind attack and remove his Poison debuff from Poisoned Spear if possible. Keep the tank healthy as they can be getting stunned frequently by Crush.

King Ymiron
Mechanics and Strategy
Either stop attacking or quickly remove the Bane buff on Ymiron as this causes a high amount of damage to all players nearby. Fetid Rot is a Disease and should also be removed quickly if possible. Healers should be aware of the tank's health at all times as this fight has a ton of burst damage, especially with Dark Slash dealing damage equal to half the target's current health. Finally, every 20% health Ymiron will stun everyone and gain a temporary ability.
