Algalon, the last frontier (until Patch 3.2)

062909-01.jpg

Algalon the Observer, technically speaking, an optional boss in Ulduar, has been stated by Eyonix (Blizzard Poster) as the real last boss of the instance (and not Yogg).

Last night I managed to get an hour of experience into the fight — the 10m version (because you can only try the fight one hour per week).

To be able to access Algalon, you need to fill certain requirements that, ultimately, gives you a key that grants you access to his room. The entrance to his room is by the stairs that lead to Kologarn (instead of going up the stairs, you go to the right).

Once you open the door some strange glyphs show up on it, for some reason they reminded me to Captain Planet.

After you get inside, the room itself is pretty nice, the floor is like “invisible”, and there’s a bridge that connects to the middle of it.

The 1h counter doesn’t really start until you attack the boss (you have to attack him, he’s yellow named).

As soon as you start him, the room warps, and you start fighting in outer-space.

Just don’t be like me, in one of the pulls I kinda ran in kinda late, fell off the platform, and realized that the bridge that connects the middle area vanishes once the encounter starts

We had several attempts, most of us didn’t have a clue of what was going on, but the fight is rather different. When the 1h counter finishes, there’s nothing really dramatic: he just starts rambling about stuff and disappears, along with the world globe.

My very first Proto-Drake… and it’s a 310% one!

062709-01.jpg

The first Reins of the Rusted Proto-Drake for Alliance in our Server (10m version, no alliance has gotten the 25m version yet)! It’s also the first Proto-Drake I ever get (I missed the guild’s Immortal so I never got the one in Naxxramas).

Firefighter was the last achievement that we needed.

And here’s the classic group picture

The ones in the picture with the proto-drakes are Itzmurda (raid leader), Shundera (aka Shundara), Lt, Hugetank, Wkin, Sayrax (the only one that died in Mimiron Hard mode, lololol) and me. There were a couple of people that still needed other achievements and a couple more that sat.

And yes, all the encounters were nerfed, so it’s not as hard as when other people got it before all the patches.

After you get the achievement you get the mount by mail, as it works with other special mounts

Changing topics, here are a couple of random things that have happened since my last update.

062709-05.jpg

^ This one was while I was leveling my Paladin, there were 5 shamans named very similar, it was kinda funny to see that.

062709-06.jpg

^ Someone threw one of those cookies that make your minipet bigger to my pet.

062709-07.jpg

^ First time ever I get to ride one of the spiders in Mimiron’s trash (25m version). It’s kinda hard to get them when you are taking and there are other 23 people trying to get on it ;/

062709-08.jpg

^ In this one someone came back from a dc in Yogg’s room, it triggered the boss and, somehow, we got MC’d at the entrance of the instance.

Shundera also posted the news in the website.
