*Maybe Spoiler* Mal'Ganis - Forgotten or a well kept secret?

[Deleted]

Hey everyone again!
After looking up everything about ICC, i cant spot myself from reading it even with a "spoiler" tag on it - and it came to mind that Mal'Ganis is strangely not mentioned at all.

For those who did the Quest line in Icecrown, leading up to the defeat of Barean Westwind - who turns out to be the nathrezim lord in disguise. His last words are:

"You'll never defeat the Lich King without my forces! I'll have my revenge on him, and you!"

So, what do you think?
Will he make a surprise appearance or will Blizzard leave him out of ICC?

I think he could be an interesting algalon type boss if anything but more than likely I don't think we're going to see him in ICC.

[Fenixdown]

I think he's dead, and where everyone got this crazy idea that he was going to be a boss in Icecrown is befuddling.

Arthas killed him after drawing Frostmourne. That's why they put him in CoT: Strat. That's the ONLY time we will ever fight him.

[Marithas]

dont see his role in icc, no demons or sht (and arthas fight were in that 1 closed little spirit something chaining whateverness room)

ehh theres this q... http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=12852

I believe he'll make an appearance in one form or another in ICC. I was hoping to kill him for good in there, but I don't think they'll set him up as an actual encounter since he was so easily beaten in Stratholme and the scarlet area in Icecrown. I guess we'll just have to see

[mystik]

he's not dead he appears in icecrown controlling what's left of the scarlet crusade/onlsaught

Read the OP before you post.

Considering how often (and easily) we smack him around, I don't think I want his help killing anyone.

You mortals pose no threat to me, and even though I can crush you all like the ants you are without the slightest bit of effort on my part, and you've just destroyed all of my plans, I'm going to go hide hang out where you can't follow me. Having some adventurers screw up all of my plans is boring!

Live in fear for the day when I come back and have all of my sinister machinations destroyed yet again!

http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=29621#comments =Mal'Ganis in human form, there is a quest to kill him, where he transforms into "himself" at 40% or so....

no, i don't think he'll be back tbh..

Tell me why we fought him in the scarlet island in icecrown then? He was disquised as some high ranked scarlet dude which i cannot remember the name of right now.

And beside, dreadlords never gets killed as far as i know.
(Unless u enter their world and kill them there. they will only get banished back if u "kill" them anywhere else. (This i only read from another poster, dont know if its 100% true))

he can't die on ,,our planet''

I think there are too many loose ends that Blizzard will either omit or wrap up via lame one-liners after you down a boss. I'm not expecting them to wrap up all of these, but in my opinion the following storylines would need to find closure in this expansion if ever at all: Alexandros Mograine, Bolvar, Saurfang the Younger, Mal'Ganis, Jaina/Arthas, Sylvanas/Arthas, The Scarlet Crusade/Onslaught, and Yogg-Saron (We've heard about models of tentacles in ICC. What's up with that?)

[PaladinBash]

Mal will return the next time Blizzard needs to explain a bit of lore or a character's seemingly random motivation/existance/resurrection.

Just like in Warhammer novels, when all else fails someone turns out to be possessed/manipulated/in league with a daemon and it explains everything.

Why isn't there a neither/stopmakingthesethreads option?

If you have a problem with my / others threads then why do you post in them?
Your posting in them actually makes it live longer...

Yea ???

[rat]

My point is that this is at least the tenth thread bringing up this exact same topic in the last, like, month.

Really wasn't kidding about the 'neither' option, though. I don't think Blizzard would forget him, though it's possible, but I really can't fathom what you mean by "well kept secret." Not very well kept if he outright says he'll be back. Or are you saying he'll be a "secret" or "extra" boss like, say, Algalon? I personally doubt that.

If you're searching these "spoilers" for sound clips or something along those lines and think he hasn't been added yet to be kept a secret, well... lots of things haven't been added yet.

It's also pretty likely, though, that his... ah, exit quote, is just a typical evil villain "I'll get you next time Gadget"-esq line.

[Phenomina]

To OP:

Why put Spoiler in your tag when you have no new information to put forward?

ATTN: Spoiler - Arthas is going to be in Icecrown ! !! !

Hey dont mess with the awesomeness of Gotrek and Felix novels :P btw in WoW every good guy gone bad, has always gone 'insane' honestly that is the worst excuse ever XD. Malygos wakes up no longer insane, then sees the havoc of the mortal races and goes insane yet again... thank god we killed that dude total nutjob
