Hodir

My own notes for explaining the Hodir fight in Ulduar.


Please wear frost resist gear - at least 2 pieces, 3 would be better.

After the pull we need to free the 4 NPCs, then we attack Hodir.

You'll continually get a nasty dot called biting cold throughout the fight - you'll need to move or jump every few seconds to clear it.
Hodir will sometimes freeze groups of people in place - this needs to be cleansed quickly. Spread out to avoid it!
When blue circles appear on the ground, move off them immediately.
Every 30 seconds or so Hodir will make some larger blue circles appear on the ground and he will start casting Flash Freeze. Stand near the circles, and when they turn into patches of snow, move onto the snow. That way Flash Freeze won't hit you.
Players and NPCs who are hit by Flash Freeze will be ice blocked, and everyone will need to attack the ice blocks immediately to free them.
Hodir will sometimes gain Frozen Blows and will do lots of AOE frost damage.

Stand in light beams to gain 100% haste.
Stand in storm clouds to gain extra damage on crits.
Stand near fires to be protected from cold and to debuff the boss.
