Trial of the Grand Crusader is a new heroic mode 10- and 25-player raid dungeon in the Crusaders' Coliseum with five encounters, with each encounter being unlocked one week at a time. TotGC is considered the hard mode version of TotC because of its increasing in difficulty and change of tactics for some bosses. Those are the hardest raid encounters before Icecrown Citadel.

Tribute Chest
A major difference between TotC and TotGC is the Argent Crusade Tribute Chest, upon entering the Coliseum in heroic mode you will be given 50 attempts to complete the raid. As your raid fully wipes on bosses these attempts are subtracted, if they reach 0 then all bosses will despawn and become unavalible for the rest of the week. A minimum of 25 attempts is required for the chest to appear after defeating Anub'arak. The higher amount of attempts remaining also grants more loot and the tribute series achievements.
Bosses
There are a number of boss encounters in the Trial of the Crusader:
- The Beasts of Northrend encounter, which is made up of three sub-encounters
Gormok the Impaler, a magnataur
Acidmaw and
Dreadscale, Acidmaw and Dreadscale
Icehowl, a wendigo
Lord Jaraxxus, a man'ari eredar lord of the Burning Legion
- The Faction Champions, a PvP-styled encounter against a team of the opposite faction
Edyis Darkbane and
Fjola Lightbane, the Twin Val'kyr
Anub'arak, a surprise fifth encounter that raid parties are dropped in upon
Contrary to some speculation, the bosses appear to be the same in both normal and heroic modes.
