General Ymirdall is the tenth boss encounter within Uldris. He has led the Iron Army into battle countless times before and plans to do so again. He currently resides within the Armory, watching his troops prepare weapons for the massive army from atop his balcony.

Background[]

General Ymridall is the favored leader of the Iron Army. Known for being ruthless on the battlefield, Ymirdall has taken to instructing his pupils into creating devastating weapons which serves as a part of his training to his followers. With the recent invasion of the Facility, Ymirdall has ordered his students out of his armory in order for him to face all intruders in battle personally and unattended. Ymirdall is considered the best warrior among the Iron ranks of Uldris, proving to be formidable in both unarmed combat and weapon fighting. His skills will be used to inspire his Iron brethren, who will look up to Ymirdall whenever they engage in combat.

Abilities[]

General Ymirdall gives his enemies the benefit of the doubt when combat begins and as a result, goes berserk after 10 minutes.

Weapon Rack — Every minute that passes by, Ymirdall rushes to one of four weapon racks in his Armory. This grants him a different weapon and a new set of abilities until he switches weapons again. Weapon Racks can be burned by destroying nearby Iron Braziers. Ymirdall selects a special weapon from a fifth weapon rack for 1 minute when he reaches 80%, 60%, 40% and 20% health. He will use a new set of abilities different from his other weapons. This new weapon rack cannot be destroyed by braziers. In addition, Ymirdall will change weapons earlier whenever he is within 15 yards of a weapon rack.

Iron Brazier — Around the Armory are iron braziers. They are located near each of the Weapon Racks in Ymirdall's armory. Destroying these braziers causes them to tip over and set the weapon racks on fire, preventing Ymirdall from switching weapons and causes him to continue using his current weapon until another minute passes.

- 1,140,000 (10-man Heroic)
- 1,967,500 (25-man Raid Finder)

Strategy[]

General Ymirdall begins in the middle of his armory room. He starts off with his Ymirdall Blades and the abilities granted by it. When he goes to get a new weapon, he will not return to the blades for the remainder of the encounter. Around his room are Weapon Racks to which Ymirdall will retrieve his other weapons from during the encounter. Each individual weapon will grant him a unique set of abilities different from other weapons. He will wield any single weapon for 1 minute naturally unless players destroy the Iron Braziers that are near the racks. Destroyed weapon racks prevent Ymirdall from getting a new weapon from that rack. Players may destroy these braziers to set the weapon racks on fire to allow Ymirdall to continue using the same weapon and abilities. However, this causes him to go into a soft enrage until he changes weapons.
