...Of the impending apocalypse!
Once among the hardest of raid bosses (from an execution standpoint) it still holds the record for being the longest undefeated encounter in World of Warcraft at seven weeks since the very first attempt by any raiding guild ballsy and skilled enough to get to this point.
Of the four wings in Naxxramas, the Deathknight Wing (or Military Quarter) was the last one guilds tackled before getting to the Frostwyrm Lair. The bosses in this wing were among the hardest of the first 12.
Four bosses, forty players, one room. The object of this encounter was to defeat the four horsemen before they cast 100 marks total or you just flat-out died. You couldn't just brute force this fight, though. Each marksman placed a stacking de-buff on players that dealt increasingly amounts of unresisted Shadow damage. This was called the Mark of [Horseman's Name]. This meant that the raid had to split into groups and rotate on the bosses with one group hanging around in the "safe zone", a spot in the center of the room that was out of range of each Horseman's mark (range was 50 yards). The marks could NOT be removed by ANYTHING except by death or letting it run its course.
Keep that up and you'd win. Just don't take longer than 20 minutes.
