== Source ==
'''Kologarn''' is the sixth [[boss|boss encounter]] in [[Ulduar (instance)|Ulduar]] released in [[patch 3.1.0]]. He guards the [[Shattered Walkway]] into central [[Ulduar]] where not only is he protecting the bridge, he '''is''' the bridge. Players fight not only him but two detachable arms that appear to be separate mobs that can be ''broken'' off of him.
 
  +
This item drops from [[Rotface]] in the 25-man version of [[Icecrown Citadel (instance)|Icecrown Citadel]].
 
==Background==
 
[[Loken]] requisitioned [[Ignis the Furnace Master]] to create this towering giant as a guard to the Shattered Walkway. His oversized proportions allow Kologarn to easily crush any intruders who attempt to reach the inner sanctum.<ref>http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/underdev/3p1/bosstiary.html</ref>

===Right arm===
 
*543.9K HP
 
*[[Image:Ability Warrior SecondWind.png|32px]]&nbsp;&nbsp;[http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=62166 '''Stone Grip'''] - grabs a random player in the raid to stun, dealing 3,238 to 3,762 damage per second until that player is dead or the arm has sustained 150,000 damage.
 
 
==Strategy==
 
Kologarn remains completely stationary in this encounter at all times. He cannot be turned or range tanked. If his aggro target is not in melee range, he casts '''Petrifying Breath''' on the raid, which will cause a wipe. His arms do not need to be offtanked, but can be separately targeted and hit within Kologarn's hitbox. Since their hitbox overlaps with Kologarn's, you need to face his torso to melee, not face the arm itself.
 
 
Two to three tanks need to be in taunt rotation front and center to Kologarn. Every 10–15 seconds, he casts ''Overhead Smash'', which reduces the tank's armor by 25%. Stacking it on one tank 1-2 times and then rotating to the next tank. Keeping all tanks alive is vital, or you won't have enough tanks to rotate the debuffs. However, the debuff seems to be either avoidable with dodge/parry or somewhat random in its timing, because it will often drop off tanks for no obvious reason.
 
 
His arms each have unique raid-damaging abilities:
 
* His left arm sweeps the raid and simultaneouly hits everyone for 12,000. Healers must quickly heal the entire raid after a '''Shockwave''' from the left arm.
 
* His right arm uses '''Stone Grip''' on 3 random players (1 in normal mode) to squeeze them until the right arm takes 450,000 (150,000 in normal mode) damage. Those who are affected must be kept alive until the damage limit is hit.
 
 
Killing an arm will spawn a pack of earth elementals, which should be picked up by a tank and killed immediately. The arm respawns 60 seconds later, but when it is destroyed, the boss will lose health equal to the arm's maximum. The elementals do a lot of AoE damage on heroic mode as well as giving a debuff that increases physical damage taken, so they should be tanked away from the main group with a dedicated tank. On normal mode, dragging them to the boss and killing them with incidental AoE works. Do NOT use AoE taunts on the elementals if you are not in melee range of the boss. Taunting the boss while out of melee range results in him casting Petrifying Breath on the raid.

==Trivia==
 
Kologarn's quotes are a reference to the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhRUe-gz690 Black Knight of ''Monty Python and the Holy Grail''].
 
 
Kologarn is also seen in the 3.1.0 Ulduar trailer. It is safe to say he is responsible for driving out the famous explorer [[Brann Bronzebeard]] from Ulduar nearly killing him with his eye beams in the process, as that is the farthest in Ulduar he is seen.
