What will happen to Arthas?

Fisher621 · Jun 18, 2009

After the lich king dies what do you think will happen to Arthas and Nerzhul? Will arthas be redeemed or killed?

Personally i think redeemed because theres a blond ghost child quest giver at northrend who knows alot about arthas and his name is an anagram for arthas menethil.

So i belive that Arthas is not in the lich king. His body is but his spirit has been ripped out by nerzhul and that Arthas himself will appear as a ghost and deliver the final blow to nerzhul.

Any other ideas of what might happen? I wanna hear Em!

Lich King dies, Arthas dies. The little blond kid ghost already died when Arthas's frozen heart was destroyed by Tirion Fordring in a quest. Hell before destroying the heart Tirion said that Arthas was beyond redemption.

Uhhh... Did you play Warcraft 3's campaigns at all? Arthas went evil of his own will. He became the Lich King of his OWN will when he put on that helmet in the end of Frozen Throne. Like the poster said above, he is beyond redemption. He willingly chose to throw his own soul for power.

Yeah, by trying to save his own people, he becomes the very evil they tried to stop.

KKRP · Jun 19, 2009

Spoilers for anyone who hasn't done the questline yet, Tirion said that there was no Arthas, nor Ner'zhul anymore. Didn't he say there was only "The Lich King" now?

JimBob · Jun 19, 2009

He chokes on a blubber nugget and dies.

WraithSeeker · Jun 19, 2009

If you have bought and read the latest WOW Arthas storybook, arthas repelled and betrayed Ner'zhul which is the Lich King and all along, he was playing with him in order to have power. He's just a evil antagonist but still have some raw feelings inside him.

Ricardo Irving · Jun 20, 2009

"Playing with him". Is that kind of character in a WarCraft game? One of the campaigns have Arthas choose to get people to kill him, lol. AS In, the custom campaigns on this site, not Blizz ones, rofl.

What the hell are you trying to say?

Joe-black-5 · Jun 20, 2009

Fast answer: Arthas will Die.

Slow answer: still on the road

Let me explain a little ... Arthas is a mortal. Mortals Die. we can conclude that Arthas Die.
End of discussion.
Unless you have a less vague question?

X.e.r.e.X · Jun 20, 2009

Too bad that there ain't Arthas anymore

Ricardo Irving · Jun 21, 2009

And to believe the Lich King is an Orc.

Yeap, Kil'jaeden had formed Ner'zhul to his Lich King for disobeying his orders, but his consciousness was powerful enough to control and send messages to others.

Eventually, Arthas was hit as his target after holding a powerful sword Frostmorne, and eventually fallen into the Lich King's hands.

Ricardo Irving · Jun 21, 2009

Has Thrall even encountered Arthas?

Slaydon · Jun 21, 2009

Yes he has, he and Orgrimmar has built up a base in Borean Tundra.

But i dont think they have met

ch0senfktard · Jun 22, 2009

Arthas is going to get killed by a random team of 10-20 people either from horde or alliance...again and again...
and thats it. He'll be nothing sometime from now. A new expansion, and northrend will be empty.

Gilles · Jun 23, 2009

Raids will try and kill the Lich King, but he'll actually be impossible. He will wind up killing everyone and WoW will end. Whenever you log on, there will be undead everywhere that will swarm and kill you.

I always thought it was the murlocs who would do that...

xp3r009 · Jun 24, 2009

Its much like AQWorlds, what Gilles said only it was 1 million goblins or something like that. It won't be much fun if the Lich King did really take over the whole game of WoW. I wonder why Blizzard couldn't just end it like that if it seems repetitive, or is it for their continuous budget.

I'm sure they are extremely wealthy, and with Starcraft II coming it will be a blast.

Linaze · Jun 24, 2009

He'll be killed each week and drop legendary items like Frostsmourne and Ner'zhul's helmet which mysteriously enough doesn't steal the wielder's soul as it did with Arthas.

X.e.r.e.X · Jun 24, 2009

If Arthas won't be 500 man raid boss I will spit on Blizzard

Frostmourne was taken out from WoW, cause of imbaness. It will be put back untill blizzard will solve balance of that sword.

Trillium · Jun 26, 2009

actually in whe blizz's new novel 'bout arthas, it is stated, that Ner'Zhul's spirit is 'killed' by Arthas. so, when we kill Arthas, it will be his spirit trapped in Frostmourne and the helm. However, the raid will have no DPS DK/Pala/Warrior present, and both artifacts will be shrded along with Arthas' spirit...

QueloR · Jun 29, 2009

I'm guessing some big shot from the warcraft lore will come and open a can of whopass on the Lich king. Just as with Illidan; It wasn't us that killed him, but Maiev.

Trillium · Jun 29, 2009

problem is, that Illidan was a mortal, and was killed by a bunch of mortal heroes and mortal maiev. Arthas, on teh other hand, is immortal and insanely powerful. Even if Tirion kills him with Ashbringer, Arthas' spirit will survive in Frostmourne, Helm and Armour. I doubt even Ashbringer can destroy them. IMHO, only Kil'jaeden/Azshara/Malfurion would be powerful enough to destroy Lich King for good, but any of thea aren't likely to appear. Illidan is dead, Yoggy and C'thun dead too, other 3 Old Gods are imprisoned, Deathwing is missing, so is Nozdormu, Malygos dead, Ysera is sleeping, Sargeras missing too. And I doubt that Alextrasza has the power to destroy the Lich King's artifacts.

Kwaliti · Jun 29, 2009

And there we have Blizzard's power of retcon... A lightning bolt struck the Lich King and BAM! Bye bye immortality.

And for all of you die-hard Arthas fans, he may be immortal, but not invincible.

LiOneSS · Jun 30, 2009

Alextrasza would be powerful enough to destroy teh betch.

Trillium · Jun 30, 2009

'immortal, but not invincible' sounds nice =DDD

i'm still sure arthas will be killed by hogger... 'cos hogger isn't immortal... but he IS invincible =DDDD

Hawkwing · Jul 1, 2009

Arthas will steal your soul and, no matter your class, you will instantly become a Death Knight and serve him in Icecrown doing his dirty work eternally.

PurgeandFire · Jul 1, 2009

I believe Arthas will jump off the Frozen Throne and die trying to get the going down achievement. =D

maybe they wont because arthas and the lich king is dead then.

I'm having my doubts, but, knowing Blizzard, it's possible.

Trillium · Jul 2, 2009

BTW, Arthas may not be a final boss... everyone thought that Yoggy will be the final boss of Ulduar, but it appeared to be some walking bunch of stars...
if Arthas won't be final boss, then my vote for optional superboss goes for... yeah, Hogger... or maybe Gamon?

X.e.r.e.X · Jul 2, 2009

Hoggamon? Some undead alchemist did some experiments ....

Trillium · Jul 2, 2009

yeah, a terrible abomination sewed of parts Gamon and Hogger... created personally by lich King... when party enters last room, it will see a cinematic of Arthas reviwing Hoggamon and getting kill by it...
oh, i forgot!!! Arthas will add parts of Saurfang the Younger to Hoggamon - so-called 'Saurfang's Genes of Awesomness'...
no that will be a fight...

Slaydon · Jul 2, 2009

he would be the new Santa Class for hordes

LiOneSS · Jul 2, 2009

Gamon is the final boss of Icecrown.

Trillium · Jul 3, 2009

Gomon + Hogger + parts of Saurfang Jr. + parts of Bolvar Fordragon + parts of Timmy the Cruel (why not?)
If memory serves me correctly, this picture is from wotlk concept arts, so it only proves my speculations!

Fussiler1 · Jul 3, 2009

Lol, that Abomination is going to own.

Really, Arthas should launch a firm counterattack on the both continents, destroying the main fortresses of the Horde and Alliance. I'm sure he has the power to do it, but he doesn't uses it. Blizzard is too soft with Arthas, he's an iron genius with a mighty army which could own anyone. One swing with his hand and a creature is vanished, destroyed and wandering as a shade in the Abyss of history.
Bleh, Blizzard won't let him use his power.. that's gay. He could easily provoke the Horde and Alliance for a fullscale war.

Damn you Blizzard, USE YOUR (tactical) BRAINZZ!

Slaydon · Jul 3, 2009

I killed that guy in WoW, 20mill hp :d

Trillium · Jul 3, 2009

it's same story as with teh Burning Legion... they start at spawn point waiting for adventurers to come and kill them... keeping in mind, that undead can be re-risen limitless numer of times... god damn those 'gameplay purposes' =)

When Lich King is finally defeated,he will remove his helmet and we will find out that he is a troll.Yogg Saron is a giant mutated troll that managed to transform the Lich King into a troll.Also the Icecrown Citadel instance will have trolls inside it,instead of undead.
All in all Azeroth got trolled

p.s.
Titans are giant trolls

SpankyDmonkey · Jul 10, 2009

lol people are stupid... arthas was allready defeated. So this particular arthas can not be defeated... because... let me put this in hidden.. its just too epic.

The lich king is really CHUCK NORRIS IN DISGUISE! HE IS INVINCIBLE, INVISIBLE, AND IMMORTAL AT THE SAME TIME! So dont be confused when u are playing WoW for 3 years trying to defeat the lich king with a group, yet it wont work. Because he is chuck norris in disguise! Until bruce lee bands with all of the WoW players, than Chuck Norris will have a 0.50% chance of falling for every run.

The last boss of Ulduar IS Yogg-saron. The walking bunch of stars is Algalon and he is a bonus boss.

Trillium · Jul 10, 2009

Algalon is hardest boss so yeah, he is final... 'cos he is killed last usually, no? =P

Angry_Bovine · Jul 10, 2009

But he's a hard mode boss you'll never see.

Trillium · Jul 12, 2009

Another idea 'bout Arthas' fate...
Palace of Aszhara (somewhere in the next expansion)
"Icecrown Citadel was merely a setback..."

Kwaliti · Jul 12, 2009

Blizzard recently registered the name "Cataclysm" under video game, online service and accessories sections. World of Warcraft: Cataclysm anyone?

NomarX · Jul 12, 2009

You guys are all world of warcraft nerds... no, To me The Lich King Arthas. Will never die. Some of you are right, Blizzard just kills off there greatest and coolest villans for gameplay reasons, Arthas will live on with us in spirit if blizzard kills him off. But i think blizzard will be crafty with his death and you will see his body covered in ice on the frozen throne again and he will be like ner' zhul and trick another young hero to merge with his soul..ses......... Yeah.... that's what will happen.....
