Another Attempt at Archimonde

Hyjal,Just News — Kawaihae

As the time for this Burning Crusade chapter of WOW and Steel Legion draws to a close, we realize that our time is running short. We have fewer than 18 raiding days left until WotLK changes the game again.

Gratefully we have been making solid efforts towards new content for us. In Black Temple we are well on our way to vanquishing the Reliquary of Souls. And we are close to getting Archimonde. The placement of our efforts is often dictated by our roster at the beginning of the raiding week. Last night we plowed through the first four bosses on Hyjal.

After several, no, a plethora, of attempts this past Monday, we did not expect to be facing Archimonde again, so soon. This fight has officially gone past its due date. Past the ripe stage. But with our efficient four boss take down last night, we are set up once again to face Archi.

Tonight is another chance to do what we know we can do. We’ve been in the spot of facing a boss that has brutalized us before. We’ve been in these spots where progression seems to halt. Each and every time, we keep going. “Your resistance is insignificant!” and “This world will burn!” have been marks of our doom for a long stretch of time. But tonight will be different.
