Ulduar is a raid dungeon in the titan complex of Ulduar, located within the Storm Peaks. The dungeon is planned to be released in patch 3.1.0, the first content patch for Wrath of the Lich King.^[1]^[2] Ulduar will be one grade in difficulty above Naxxramas.^[3]

Ulduar will be divided into two separate raid wings, the final one only accessible after finishing the previous wing.^[2]

Encounters

The raid dungeon will consist of fourteen encounters.^[2] Eleven of them will have hard modes (different from normal and heroic modes), which will reward achievements and extra, and/or improved, item rewards.^[2]^[4] Siege vehicles will play a role in the dungeon.^[2]

Known encounters

Possible encounters

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

Algalon the Observer^[7]
Mimiron (see below for reason)
Yogg-Saron (see below for reason)

Knowing that many of the unveiled bosses are titanic watchers (Temple of Winter, Life, and Storms — Hodir, Freya, and Thorim, respectively), it could be speculated that other titanic watchers could be bosses: Tyr and Mimir/Mimiron^[2] (Temple of Order and Invention). An Old God lies within Ulduar,^[1]^[2] suggesting that Yogg-Saron may be the final boss of this raid dungeon.
