World of Warcraft: Mal’Ganis to be in Caverns of Time instance

Worldof Warcraft: Mal'Ganis to be in The Caverns of Time - Image 1 In World of Warcraft, heroes from both factions are constantly fighting against creatures of legendary evil and corruption. This trend will not be changing in Wrath of the Lich King. Players will get to contend with The Dreadlord Mal’Ganis in The Caverns of Time instance.

It should be noted that the instance will take you back to Stratholme where Arthas purged the town of its inhabitants. He was manipulated by the Mal’Ganis to do so, in the hope of driving the prince to seek out the cursed sword Frostmourne. 

Some players have theorized that if they defeat the Dreadlord there, then they will be able to stop Arthas from turning into a Death Knight. Unfortunately, this is not the case as Blizzard Poster Bornakk said in the Forums:

Anytime you killed MalÂ’Ganis in the Stratholme level of Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos, you only succeeded in slowing him down. His body would reform shortly thereafter to continue taunting Arthas and encourage him to take the path of insanityÂ… and power.

No matter what happens to MalÂ’Ganis in the upcoming Caverns of Time instance, his mission to drive Arthas to Frostmourne will not be undone.


It looks like no matter what players do, Arthas will become the Lich King’s thrall. Regardless of how tragic that may sound, it’s nice that the continuity of the Warcraft storyline is still kept more or less consistent.
