Two Bosses Enter … but only One Boss Leaves, in WoW Insider’s series of fantasy death matches. This season’s bosses come from the five-man instances of Wrath of the Lich King.

This was a close one: Krik’thir the Gatewatcher of Azjol-Nerub wrapped up a victory over Ingvar the Plunderer and Annhylde the Caller (Utgarde Keep) by fewer than 50 reader votes. Two Bosses Enter reader Rexton narrated the winner’s path to victory. “It’s close, but I give this one to Krik’thir,” he wrote. “I’m doubting Krik’thir would just wait in the back and let his minions do all the work. Yeah, he’d be the prime target. Total, that’s 10 enemies that Ingvar has to go through, and on top of that is the unmentioned ability Bugs. I’m not saying Ingvar will go down easily; I mean, he has Smash on his side, for one thing. As long as he keeps that and Cleave up, I can see his taking a at least four down before he dies.

“Krik’thir: 75% health, 6 minions
“Ingvar: 100%

“Now Ingvar’s back up, stronger than ever. Does more damage and switches some abilities around. Coupling Dreadful Roar with Dark Smash and Shadow Axe, this is where it gets deadly. Ingvar chews through the minions as Krik’thir starts standing back a bit, continually sending out Bugs and using Curse of Fatigue. Once the minions are finished off, Ingvar is at 40% while Krik’thir is at 55%. Ingvar rushes at Krik’thir, starting off with a Dreadful Roar followed by a Shadow Axe, as Krik’thir sends out more bugs. Some of the bugs are destroyed by the Dark Axe ability. Krik’thir’s main attack is now Curse of Fatigue.

“Krik’thir: 25%
“Ingvar:15%

“The battle continues with the Dreadful Roar/Dark Smash combo and Bug/Curse of Fatigue spam, but ultimately, Ingvar loses yet again.”
