The Lich King Boss Guide - The Frozen Throne
The final boss of the Frozen Throne's Icecrown Citadel adventure is The Lich King!
Fight Details
On the Lich King's first turn, he will play a cheat card based on the class you are playing.
- Purge the Weak - No cheap minions for Druid. You best be ramping up!
- The Hunted - Hunters are damaged for every minion in their deck. Ouch!
- The True Lich - Mages only get 1 health? What is this sorcery?
- Fallen Champions - Don't let your minions die, Paladins. The Lich King will get them!
- Shut up, Priest - Mmpphhhhhh!!! Priests are not allowed to speak.
- The Price of Power - Oh sorry Rogues, did you want spells? No spells for you!
- Necrotic Plague - Better have some buffs, Shamans. Your whole deck becomes 1/1s.
- Soul Reaper - Have duplicates in your deck Warlock? Take some damage!
- The True King - Warriors see the Lich King sit at 130 total armor and 30 health.
The fight doesn't have anything really special to it at the start. Keeping control of the board is a requirement at this point. When possible you should deal some damage to to his face, but don't make that a priority.
On turn 7, The Lich King will play Frostmourne. At this point, all minions on his side of the field are killed, 6 Trapped Soul are spawned for him, and he goes immune thanks to his new hero power, Harvest of Souls.
Your goal now is to get rid of the Trapped Souls as soon as possible to break the immunity and get rid of the weapon. It should be noted that Frostmoune also goes immune, preventing charges from being used. After all Trapped Souls are destroyed, The Lich King loses his hero power and gains a new one - Remorseless Winter.
Once he's gone into this next phase, the fight has no new mechanics to it. Simply take him out before you end up dead due to the increasing damage every turn from his hero power.
Watch Out For These Cards
- Anti-Magic Shell - If he has a bunch of minions in plays, expect the worst, expect this to be dropped.
- Frostmourne - Since he and his weapon are immune during this phase, you want to get it over with ASAP.
- Looming Presence - Not much you can do about it but just be warned that he does have it in his deck. If you know you'll just have gotten enough damage for lethal next turn, be prepared to cry when he drops it.
Rewards
There are two rewards from defeating this fight.
- Clear the fight once to receive a Frozen Throne card pack.
- Clear the fight with all nine classes to receive the Prince Arthas hero skin for Paladin.

You just restart if you don't win on turn 6 and you can restart if you don't have an alleycat on turn 1 and hyena turn 2.
There's a reason the only thing beating him with all classes nets you is a purely cosmetic skin that doesn't affect gameplay, unlike previous adventures. No one is forcing you and the devs don't expect everyone to have the brains and cards to do so. This is what makes the skin a great achievement for those who can get it
>free adventure
I got him! After two days, a shitload of dust, and over 100 restarts, I finally got him!
Oh he's so pretty.
Doomsayer on turn 7. Every deck. He won't kill it.
Not usable in Druid or Shaman deck.
Actually is usuable in Shaman if you control a larger minion or have a minion with taunt. That's how I beat him.
C'Thun deck work quite well against him. Alteast for Warrior and Rogue.
For Rogue . It quite easy because your minion can give you good tempo(I use Grave shamble 4 mana 4/4 that grow bigger every time your weapon break).
Here the deck list for C'thun rogue(it kinda budget deck too)
x2 Swashburglar(This guy give you coin)
x2 Beckoner of Evil
x2 Loot Hoarder(draw engine)
x2 Twlight Geomancer(Mini taunt can help)
x2 Undercity Huckster(Also give coin)
x2 Brann Bronzebeard (But in my run I don't use this because I kill Arthas before I can draw him)
x2 Disciple of C'Thun
x2 Twlight Elder
x2 C'Thun Chosen
x2 Tomb Pillager(Again , coin nice for ramp or combo)
x2 Skeram Cultist
x1 Twin Emperor(Taunt help for buying your time)
x2 Doomcaller
x2 Blade of C'Thun (Just in case for killing big buff minion with bonemare)
x1 C'Thun
Other than that you can fill the deck with tempo play . Like weapon or some sort.
For Warrior . It can be quite complicate base on how you draw. But from what I have seen. Arthas doesn't focus to kill Brann.If you have bigger minion on the board.
Also use your time to prepare for final phase. No need to kill those 2/6 he summon. Just let them kill them self by taunt minion while you full your board and buff C'Thun for final phase.
Here the deck list.
x2 Battle rage
x2 Beckoner of Evil
x2 Bolster
x2 Twlight Geomancer(Mini taunt can help)
x2 Fiery Waraxe
x2 Brann Bronzebeard (But in my run I don't use this because I kill Arthas before I can draw him)
x2 Disciple of C'Thun.
x2 Twlight Elder.
x2 Shield Block
x2 Protect the king
x2 C'Thun Chosen.
x1 Brawl.
x2 Skeram Cultist.
x2 Ancient Shieldbearer (10-20 heal is decent plus big body).
x1 Twin Emperor(Taunt help for buying your time)
x2 Doomcaller
x1 C'Thun
Protect the king + Bolster are catch up combo to buy you sometime after turn 7. cuz 5-6 3/3 or 5/5 taunt wall is good enough to stop lich king from do anything for 2-3 turn.
But It can be quite tricky because I won with 1 hp left and got lucky cuz Brann+ 2 Doomcaller put 4 C'thun in to my deck and I can draw them in time.
Did you write 2 Brann Bronzebeards? I'm pretty sure we can only put 1 into our decks...
With C'Thun Rogue, how would you get through the trapped souls efficiently?
Just saying: playing Rogue, first turn Counterfeit Coin + Lorewalker Cho doesn't work.
Can't steal his The Price of Power
I had been going at this quite a bit, for a night and a half and tried many decks and this is the one that got me over the edge.
So THANK YOU!
Oracles can give you anti-magic shell, that's how I won
paladin is also a Murloc deck ;)
http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/918660-paladin-vs-lich-king-pve-otk
I came up with this deck, after the murloc decks just didn't work out, good luck
Took me 2 tries
For Rogue, here is the most easiest deck:
http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/918508-easy-the-lich-king-boss-with-rogue
AAEBAYO6AgTgBfmrApGtAuO+Ag3FA9sD/gPjBdAH+AenCPAPiq0C9bsCncICscICm8gCAA==
Idea: Clean the board and then go face. Protect your important murlocs: Murloc Warleader and Grimscale Oracle.
Why do we have some spells? Just because you can use them on turn 1, and also after he plays The Price of Power, your deck will thin for your benefit.
Replacements: You can run this deck without legendaries: Old Murk-Eye and without Finja, the Flying Star. Just replace them for a second Journey Below or add 2 Tar Creeper or one Defender of Argus (you can replace almost every card in the deck with these ones if you want to).
Have fun, and please take a moment and UPVOTE the deck!. Thanks.
i dont have many murlocs what shall i do??? and i dont have many warrior or warlock cards :/ (F2P here)
Edit: I've beaten Hunter, Priest and Druid
Получилось убить с первого раза, остерегайтесь карты которая уничтожает существо
[deck]AAECAa0GBNYK+wzhvwK+yAIN+ALdBOUEpQnRCvIMqa0CrLQCtbsC8LsC0cEC2MECxccCAA==[/deck]
Well, won with Jade Druid... though I feel that the ending where Malfurion Stormrage turns into Malfurion the Pestilent is just an excuse to show off the awesome art of the DK...
Ok How the hell I'm gonna win with hunter?
If you put minion in the deck then you will receive burst of damage . Which that is dmg you can't heal (cuz only minion can heal you but why that mean you waste your slot for free).
Hunter spell are not that strong compare to mage. And how Hunter gonna remove those six 2/6 with taunt(pseudo I know but it's the same).
