Herald of the Titans in Patch 5.0.4 will be coming

After a few weeks of post-expansion raid hiatus the idea was thrown around that a few of us level some 80 alts, and go back in to Ulduar to get Herald of the Titans.

In case you aren’t up to date with your Wrath achievements, in order to meet all of the specifications, you need to kill Algalon the Observer using only level 80 characters, only using gear obtained from Ulduar 10 and below (under iLevel 226). This meant farming Ulduar for weeks and gearing up our level 80 alts in order to attempt to kill arguably one of the hardest bosses of Wrath.

So, after about 4-5 lockouts, countless dungeons, and some frustrating last minute scurrying to find obscure Wrath reagents, we managed to kill Algalon (with only 9 people!). All in all, a fantastic nostalgic filled journey ending with us once again saving Azeroth from certain destruction. All in a days work.

Here's some useful information for those who are attempting this in Cataclysm:

The key is no longer required to open the door to his room

The 1 hour time limit has been removed, so you can fight him for as long as you like

Armour items must be ilvl 226 or less, and weapon items (mainhand/offhand/ranged) must be ilvl 232 or less

It doesn't matter where your gear is from, so long as it meets the above criteria

Epic gems are allowed

Reforging is allowed (this includes mastery!)

Heirlooms are allowed (although you shouldn't really be using them)

The Cata leg enchants, MoP profession enchants and  Savage Armor Kits are all allowed

You can use Cataclysm consumables (flasks/potions/food/ Adventurer's Journals)
