Awarded for killing the Lich King in 25-man Icecrown Citadel on heroic difficulty.

The 10-man equivalent is Bane of the Fallen King.

3	By Happyperson on 29 Nov 2011 (Patch 4.2.2 ) 25 people is a lot of people to find for a Wotlk raid now, because no one wants to do them. But I would say 22-25 should be the required amount as this is still quite a hard achievement to get.

I always thought it ment, "Congratz, you beat the game, now you can go outside."

3	By Sacrolash on 08 Oct 2011 (Patch 4.2.2 ) It's a reference to the dialogue option to start the fight, something only the main tank is likely to see. "We are prepared, Highlord. Let us battle for the fate of Azeroth! For the light of dawn!"
2	By Sentro on 19 Aug 2012 (Patch 5.0.4 ) The posted comment above (what Tirion says) is also a reference to the fight at Light's Hope Chapel in the deathknight-questline, where the "Light of Dawn" protects the paladins and helps to free the deathknights from the Lichking's grasp. The Light of Dawn are the fallen heroes of the argent dawn whose corpses were burried under the chapel, so Tirion refers to the dead soldiers who lost their lifes in the fight against the scourge.

This is extremely easy to get using the burn strat.

For starters, fill the entire group with 85's that know what they are doing.

Use vent and be vocal!

Make sure 1 melee and 1 range have DBM so their say announce informs the groups of Shadowtrap... Just in case.

During the transitions assign all ranged DPS to attack LK. If your raid is ranged heavy then assign a certain group to kill ragings.

When you enter the fresh phase stack up dead centre on the platform, pop EVERYTHING. All personal CD's, Lust/Heroism/Time Warp and burn as fast as possible.

When the valks come, let them take the players, losing a couple of people doesn't matter with this strat.

When the transition hits do exactly what you did on the first transition

Stack in centre once the transition is over and mark someone to lead the group in Frostmourne phase.

From there on out just dodge the defiles and win in frostmourne.

This strat is the most fail safe way to get the title at 85. Due to 99% of the population on wow not having any skill whatsoever besides tunnel vision this ensures they are not being overworked on their skill limit. It works out faster and smoother.

Only note is you just need to survive First Phase and not wipe on defiles and you will get the title

Hope this helps some.

0	By Loony555 on 14 Oct 2012 (Patch 5.0.5b ) Exactly the strategy we did a few months ago at Level 85, works fine! Although it took us a dozen tries, as "defile" was a bit too hard to handle for some of the pug players. I think even now, at level 90, this won't be a walk in the park with lots of random players, as defile will still wipe the raid in no time if only one or two players fail.

Kataly is right, defile will make this unattainable by "the stupid" for a long time to come.

Quote:
HEROIC Defile - Inflicts 10,000 Shadow damage every second to all players in the targeted area. Every time a player takes damage from this, Defile's damage and area increase.

I.E. a raid with a few simpletons (I'm looking at you, people who kept dying at Mimiron -HARD MODE, no offense, you know who you are.) this spell WILL cover the entire platform everytime it is cast, 10.000 damage to every raidmember, 150.000 hp or not, that's not gonna end well.
Good luck!

Nice title, Just got it on my paladin and I must say it goes really well with my class.
Just a shame really that some people patronize you for using titles like this, Just because It's not difficult to obtain any more doesn't mean a it's a stupid title...

1/2 people do not have this title in Europe. it still requires some brain thought from the player to get even at level 100. There are still hazards that can kill inexperienced players who've never done this raid before. I would not say it would easy, when you clearly have waste time doing it on normal mode then doing it on hc mode. Even today with level 100's i know people who want the title but are not skilled enough to go into the raid alone and get it, and most people can't be bothered. it's funny really.because the title is more about patience.

This title seems kind of weird. I think it should be more like ", the Light of Dawn".
But maybe that's just me.

This is one hard achievement to earn, despite people having incredible amounts of DPS, Insane Health-pools, and healers being able to heal this very easily.
Shadow Traps & Defile screws people over - So badly.
We attempted this a few weeks ago, and ended up having to call it, as people were simply failing on the Shadow Traps, dropping it on the tanks/Melee's.
People might have the gear to survive the damage from the Adds/The Lich King.
But they can't out-gear Defile & Shadow Trap.

Funfact:

In the German client, it's

Xyxy, das Licht des Morgens.

The title makes a lot more sense with the comma, I think.

Soloable now with a Lvl 100 - I did it with my Furry warrior even though I had blue gear only on her that I gathered doing dungeons and quests.
Even Lich king is easy to do - just becarefull when he starts the " AOE freez - knockback phase" - stay on the stairs that lead to his throne and you`ll be allright.
Also when he colapses the ground go near him.

Another interesting aspect - in order to gain entry at the Lich King you have to kill the main boses for each wing - the exception here beeing the green Drake boss that you have to heal an. (non healing clases would have ben screwed on this one

).

Another tip : boe items can be saved and sold in the AH for people that go nuts for transmog items. Or you could use the items droped here to transmog for yourself ^^.

have fun guys!

Ps in order to unlock LK 25 hc you have to do it on Normal 25 first - thus you have to go and do the raid two times.

Just got this title tonight. To be honest, I haven't seen that many Light of Dawn's running around, just us. I did it with my guild, but I have heard that pugging this achievment isn't faceroll.

While the title is account-wide, your character needs to be level 80 or higher to use it.

This achievement is so easy to get i'll get it no problem. Ok good we have a healer a tank and 2 dps we are good to go lets do this, this is easy! False, this achievement is still quite hard to get. Not only does it take at least a hour to get to the Lich King, but you might wipe! How is that even possible, if you are asking that you clearly are a inexperienced player and haven't done any Wotlk raids since Cata. It is very much possible to still wipe on Wotlk raids. The Lich King well on heroic mode he has 100mil that's a ton for back then, its still an ok amount. If you wipe on the Lich King its not the end of the world it took me and my group about 3 tries to get it. Watch out for unintelligent players which may walk straight into defile as this is a group wiper.

Anyone have any idea how many level 100's it would take to get this title?

2	By Twigglet1 on 16 Nov 2015 (Patch 6.2.3 ) You only need 1, it's easily solo-able @100
-3	By sivla on 02 Jan 2016 (Patch 7.0.1 ) i wouldn't make that claim, there are a lot of very bad players with limited skills.
2	By DarklingThrush on 21 Jan 2016 (Patch 7.0.1 ) Even with limited skills, it's hard to screw this up at 100. You could probably take him down using nothing but auto-attack.

When obtaining this achievement, dont release your soul in the final fight. The decision will haunt you for the rest of your life.

It is easy to get with a pug. I just got this tonight in a pug. The group had a very good tank/leader and everyone knew what to do. If someone in your pug is holding the group back, kick them and replace. Simple as that

edit- Please don't down vote just because you weren't able to do it

7	By notdryad on 30 Aug 2011 (Patch 4.2.0 ) Depends on the server. If you're on one of the super PvE servers like Illidan, Mal'Ganis, and Blackrock, then you'll have no issues getting a trade chat pug capable of dodging Shadow Traps and Defiles. On Azgalor, though, it typically takes a group run by people in the best guilds and filled with a number of accomplished raiders for the Light of Dawn.

I wonder if this title will still be obtainable once Cataclysm comes out? Because frankly, it's awesome, but I know I won't be able to get it during Wrath.

4	By Wirxaw on 10 Sep 2010 (Patch 3.3.5 ) Though the fight is complicated, it is doable with tactics, rather basic ones - movedispell. Yes, pugging 25HC will be hard, but any self-respecting guild will be ablet to take him down. Remember Vials of Eternity - both fights were rather complicated, and Kael's - even freaky. Most importantly, they werent endgame - only t5. Still, Blizzard removed both TBC titles, because of outgearing. Imagine in Cata, everyone has definetly over 50k hp, and thus - over 65 with ICC buff. That means, tanks will not get oneshotted by horrors or Soul Reaper, and noone in phase one can be afraid of late dispel
1	By Talrash on 22 Oct 2010 (Patch 4.0.1 ) There probably wouldn't be hundreds of the titles running around anyway, considering how technically complicated the fight is.
1	By Trevspa94 on 23 Oct 2010 (Patch 4.0.1 ) haha! thats soo true
24	By Kataly on 28 Oct 2010 (Patch 4.0.1 ) Can't outgear Defile.
5	By JekwA on 05 Nov 2010 (Patch 4.0.1 ) You can't out gear shadow trap for that matter.

By Moodknight on 09 Jan 2011 (Patch 4.0.3 Cataclysm

since almost all rating have gone rly low at 85 this one can cause a lot of tankin-healing troubles. defile and trap can be a huge prob tho hp pools r pretty much more then enough. 160k tanks with no icc buff is perfect to at least try to get the LoD.

PS: nah, no more Invincible 100% drop, now its the same drop% as Ashes of Altar.
