A vrykul necromancer and runemaster, and one of Angerboda's Chosen - her elite inner circle.

Dungeon Journal

Gog has long been a vile blight on the vrykul people - a slayer of kin and clansmen, a practitioner of dark and forbidden magicks, a bringer of curses and suffering. Once exiled from his people for his wicked ways, he was been welcomed into the fold by Angerboda, and became one of the mightiest of the vrykul Necromancers. He has become one of Angerboda's Chosen, the elite few who retain their sentience and free-will in undeath, for his devotion to the death queen is absolute.

Strategy

Gog stands in the center of eight large runes. When the battle begins they will activate - four Fire Runes and four Frost Runes. Runes provide Gog with energy corresponding to their element - Frost Energy and Fire Energy. Frost Runes slow the movement speed of anyone walking over them and deal periodic frost damage, while Fire Runes deal periodic fire damage and randomly flare up, dealing a large amount of fire damage to everyone close by. If three people stand on a rune while they have marks of the opposing element, the rune will be extinguished temporarily. A rune of the opposing element will shortly be activated. Players can control the number and type of runes that are active by carefully choosing which type of runes are extinguished.

  • Example: Three people with Mark of Flame stand on a Frost Rune. The rune will be extinguished for a short time then reactivate as a Fire Rune.

Gog will gather Frost Energy and Fire Energy over the course of the battle. Both energy reserves take the form of gauges that slowly fill up. Gog will periodically cast Reverse Elements, which causes all marks and runes to switch to their opposing element (fire to frost and frost to fire). Players can control the growth of Gog's energy meters by extinguishing runes.

Heroic Difficulty Heroic Mode

  • Spell frostfire orb.png Energize  —  Gog gains Frost Energy and Fire Energy at an increased rate.

Achievement
