August 17, 2008: Alliance First: Eredar Twins Down

Tonight we finished the fourth encounter in Sunwell, the Eredar Twins. We had more than our fair share of wipes to the Ledge Boss and Conflaguration, but with enough Resto Shamans and a little bit of luck, Veritas came out ahead. Special thanks to everyone who has been playing more than one class in order to make these encounters possible, without the unique dedication of our members, we wouldn't be driving the content forward.




July 30, 2008: Alliance First: Felmyst Slain!

It's been quite a while since we've last updated, and tonight we finally downed the third boss of Sunwell. Not only did we have to perfect our strategy for Felmyst but we also had to battle the other adds in this fight, the Disconnect Demon and the FPS Fiend. Tonight everything just fell into place and we were rewarded with shiny new loot. Thanks to everyone who farmed extra consumables, especially Hop, to tackle this very technical encounter.




June 18, 2008: Alliance First, Server Second: Brutallus slain!

After many hours of wipes, tons of consumables, and thousands of gold in repairs, we finally downed the Pit Lord Brutallus. This fight demanded more from our raiders than any other encounter we've experienced, and we finally came out on top. Special thanks to all our members for pulling out all the stops for consumables and conquering this dps race.



May 20, 2008: Alliance First: Kalecgos Saved!

Our progress in Sunwell has been a bit slow, but with the addition of a few new members, we came away tonight with a big victory, defeating Sathrovarr the Corrupter and saving Kalecgos from madness. Sunwell Plateau has been liked to the Naxxramas of The Burning Crusade and this fight validated that claim. The entire raid showed amazing coordination and we'll continue to conquer the new challenges in Sunwell.




March 22, 2008: Alliance First: Four chest clear in Zul'aman!

Today we triumphed over our last piece of unfinished business, and our GM was awarded the first Amani War Bear on the alliance side. Thank you to everyone who has come on speed clears as we perfected our strategy the last couple of weeks. Also if you want a bear mount for your alt, Steele will eat you.



March 2, 2008: Game Over! Illidan Stormrage is Dead!

Thirteen months have passed since we first set foot in Karazhan, and Veritas has now defeated every boss in the Burning Crusade. Our progress has been amazing for a 3 day a week guild and every one of our members did an awesome job tonight. Thank you to all our members for their hard work and dedication, it has been a pleasure raiding with you.




February 17, 2008: Alliance First: Illidari Council slain!

On our final attempt of the night we managed to kill this council of blood elves just 7 seconds before the enrage timer. Great job to all of our raiders who made it through almost 15 minutes of this complex fight. We now have just one fight left for all of the Burning Crusade!




January 27, 2008: Alliance First: Mother Shahraz down!

Encouraged by our progress earlier in the week, we took down the seventh boss of Black Temple tonight. The fight was much less complex than some of the previous encounters, and we managed to kill her after only 2 real attempts. Thank you to all of our raiders who worked hard to get shadow resist gear and a special thank you to our rogue class leader, Turugara, for all the effort he put into making sure everyone had what they needed.




January 23, 2008: Alliance First: Reliquary of Souls slain!

Another amazing progression raid, on our second night of attempts we managed to down what is considered one of the toughest boss fights in Black Temple. In the past 2 weeks we've downed 4 new bosses and our pace is incredible! Let's push further into Black Temple this week and get to Illidan Stormrage!




January 20, 2008: Alliance First: Bloodboil Beaten!

On the second night of attempts, we managed to slay this enraged Fel Orc. Our healers were able to respond quickly to the Fel Rage and our tanks kept aggro fairly close. Even though this fight was extremely healing intensive we managed to pull through. We even got some time to practice on Reliquary of Souls, so look for another server first in the coming weeks.




January 13, 2008: Mount Hyjal cleared! Archimonde Slain!

After several weeks of attempts both before and after Christmas break, we adjusted a few things in our strategy and it paid off with an Alliance first kill! Our raid had to react quickly to Doomfire and Airbursts with virtually no room for error. Congratulations to everyone on completing one of the most unforgiving fights in the Burning Crusade. Now all we have left is to clear Black Temple. See everyone next week for hopefully more server firsts!




January 9, 2008: Doomwalker dismantled!

We had a bit of slow start getting into Black Temple so we decided to attempt Doomwalker. With no Horde interference we managed to kill him rather quickly with just one attempt. Grats on officially clearing all the world bosses in Burning Crusade.




December 16, 2007: Death really isn't so bad...

We easily cleared the first 3 bosses in Black Temple and after a few nights of attempts, we managed to kill Teron Gorefiend. Once our members got some practice as ghosts we were able to kill the first Deathknight. We are currently working on Bloodboil and Archimonde and we'll get them down early next year. Everyone have a safe and happy holiday from all of us at Veritas!




November 17, 2007: Zul'jin Slain, Zul'Aman cleared!

Tonight we had our first look at Zul'Aman and we cleared the entire place in one night. Good job on adapting to some very complex boss encounters and learning an entire new instance!




November 14, 2007: Black Temple: Naj'entus and Supremus dead! Akama saved (very quickly)!

Our first night in Black Temple and we two-shot High Warlord Naj'entus and Supremus. We continued on to Shade of Akama, and unfortunately he was bugged, so we came away with a very quick kill. Tonight was an amazing raid night and everyone's perfmorance exceeded our expectations. It's a shame that so few guilds get to see the inside of Black Temple because the atmosphere is truly awe-inspiring. Grats also to Dzuryn for getting both maces to complete his weapons in one night!









November 11, 2007: One Boss Left!

Tonight we took down two more bosses in Hyjal Summit, the demon Kaz'rogal and the Pit Lord Azgalor. The dedication and the focus of our members has yielded amazing progression and we have our first official pieces of Tier 6! We have spent a little more than a week in Hyjal and 4 out of 5 bosses are dead. Check back with us next week when we head into Black Temple, and continue to conquer new challenges.





Unfortunately we don't have a screenshot of Kaz'rogal dead because the body despawned instantly when he died. We've petitioned a GM and they have said they are working on it.



November 4, 2007: Alliance Firsts: Rage Winterchill and Anetheron Killed!

Not bad for our first Mount Hyjal raid, we managed to take down the first 2 bosses and get some serious attempts in on the third. Everyone did a great job tonight adapting to the unique style of wave trash mobs, and reacting to new situations. Lets keep up the strong pace and get some more new bosses next week!






October 21, 2007: Alliance First: Kael'thas Sunstrider Slain!

Finally, after several long nights of attempts learning this difficult encounter, we defeated the Lord of the Blood Elves! Everyone did a great job focusing for this extremely technical and challenging fight. We proved to ourselves that we are ready to tackle Tier 6 content. See you in Hyjal Summit and Black Temple!




After we killed Kael'thas, we had a little celebration in Shattrah City. Awesome job Veritas!



September 23, 2007: Alliance First: High Astromancer Solarian Defeated!

Tonight was the first night our raid had even seen this boss in Tempest Keep and we came away with a kill after a few attempts. Even with half and raid dead, we retained our focus and got yet another Demon Soul alliance first. We finished the night with some good attempts on Kael'thas and we'll be coming back strong next week!




September 9, 2007: Alliance First: Al'ar slain!

Great job tonight guys, we only spent 2 nights on Al'ar and we had a very clean kill of the Phoenix God. This fight is not as difficult as some of the other ones we have done, but with good raid coordination and hard dps we did not need to spend a lot of time learning this new fight. Congratulations to everyone who completed the next step in Black Temple attunement, and we'll be on Kael'thas soon! Entropy put together an Al'ar kill video in a remarkably short amount of time. Check it out if you would like to see our first kill.




August 31, 2007: Veritas Productions presents: Lady Vashj!

Watch the Lady Vashj kill video made by Hop! Also we have movies for Fathom-Lord Karathress, Leotheras the Blind, and Void Reaver. If you want links to all our videos, you can check out this thread in our general forums.

August 29, 2007:Alliance First! Serpentshrine cleared! Lady Vashj is dead!

After only 3 nights of attempts, we managed to kill the Coilfang Matron. We had excellent dps, control and communication as we took down this new encounter. Our raiders have improved significantly over the past couple of weeks and tonight we were rewarded for our hard work. Congratulations to everyone for taking their play to a whole new level and proving that we have the skill to conquer complex fights. Next stop Tempest Keep!




August 19, 2007: Void Reaver Down!

After 2 nights in SSC we decided to try out Tempest Keep, and we downed the infamous Loot Reaver. It took some adjustment and raid coordination but we finally succeeded. Congratulations to everyone on taking this new boss down!



August 5, 2007: Another Alliance First: Fathom-Lord Karathress Slain!

Our first night attempting this new encounter and we came away with our first kill! Everyone did a great job tonight learning the new encounter and fulfilling their roles in this hectic fight. Lets continue the raid focus as we look to the last boss of Serpentshrine Cavern, Lady Vashj!




August 1, 2007: Alliance First! Leotheras the Blind killed!

On our final attempt of the night we showed great raid coordination and killed the corrupted Demonhunter. We've spent a lot of time on this fight and we finally regained the raid focus we needed to succeed in these types of encounters. Thanks to everyone, from our veteran players to our new recruits, for your patience and dedication in conquering this fight.




July 5, 2007: Doom Lord Kazzak slain! On our first night of attempts without Horde griefing we managed to kill Doom Lord Kazzak. It turned out to be a very easy fight and a good test of our raid DPS.




July 1, 2007: Morogrim Tidewalker Down!

During our second night of attempts on this sea giant, we switched up our strategy a little and were rewarded with an alliance first kill. Thanks to everyone for staying up late and staying focused.




June 26, 2007: The Lurker Below Slain!

After our first night of real attempts, we were able to kill the fish boss of Serpentshrine Cavern. Once we learned how to get out of the way of the sprinkler and jump back on the platform, we had this fight down. Awesome raid coordination and concentration allowed us to learn this new fight in one day. *Update* Check out our Hydross kill video!




June 20, 2007: Hydross Killed!

After spending a few nights, we had a very smooth kill on the Duke of Currents. Great job getting the transitions down and putting out great dps. We managed to kill Hydross with almost 2 minutes to spare. Great job on killing the first boss of Serpentshrine Cavern!




May 29, 2007: Magtheridon Down!

All the hard work we put into learning this fight finally paid off. We put all the pieces together for the final attempt of the night and we killed the Pit Lord Magtheridon. Next stop, Serpent Shrine Cavern!



March 21, 2007: Server First! Gruul the Dragonkiller is dead!

After only our second time in Gruul's Lair, we managed to take down the big bad Gronn in just over 2 hours of attempts. The fight was definitely challenging and a lot of our members came through with extra potions to make this night a success. Great job putting out insane dps and clearing the first 25man raid in The Burning Crusade! **Update**: Gruul kill video from the perspective of Hop!




March 18, 2007: Nightbane Slain!

Third time is a charm as the Veritas Raid Team B downed Nightbane in just under an hour after engaging him. Karazhan is officially cleared and we eagerly await the new challenges of our 25 man raids. You can watch our kill in the Nightbane Video seen from the perspective of Cadenza.




March 15, 2007: Veritas Raid Teams Unite!

We had our first 25 man raid as a guild tonight and we had a fabulous kill on High King Maulgar! After perfecting our strategy, we downed the Lord of the Ogres on our fifth try. Awesome job from our veteran players and also our new recruits that made this night a success.



March 4, 2007: Prince Malchezaar slain!

About an hour after seeing this boss for the first time, we were able to come through with a victory against the Prince. The fight took a lot of coordination but in the end, Veritas prevailed. Check out our Prince Malchezaar Video to see our exciting kill that didn't involve exploiting him in the doorway. Great job everyone!




February 26, 2007: Illhoof, Aran and Netherspite down!

To add to this week's success, Veritas Team B downed 3 new bosses including a server first Netherspite kill. Netherspite was by far the most technically challenging fight in Karazhan, and even though it was late, everyone showed remarkable focus in bringing down this difficult boss.




After some heartbreaking wipes, we got Aran.




Illhoof was buffed after the patch, but it only took us 3 tries to bring down this Demon.




February 25, 2007: Karazhan updates

It has been a while since we've updated the site but both Veritas teams have been making great progress in Karazhan. Both raids have downed Romulo and Julianne in the Opera House Event, and one team has also taken down the Oz event. Another great accomplishment is that both teams have killed the Curator, so we're getting double the tier 4 every week!



February 5, 2007: Veritas takes a bow!

We continued our adventures in Karazhan today and took on the Opera House. We got the arguably hardest event, Romulo and Julianne, and spend most the night on the attempts. Finally after many trial runs, we took the pair of star crossed lovers down and claimed the Opera House for ourselves! If the screenshots are not enough for you, check out the general WoW discusion forum for a link to a video of the server first kill.




February 4, 2007: Site updates Galore!

With the arrival of Burning Crusade Raiding we've switched around the layout of the site a bit. The old front page with all of our previous boss kills has been moved to the "Raid History" link that can be found at the top of the page. Check that out to see our amazing guild progression from our first Hakkar kill all the way to us slaying the Twin Emperors!

February 3, 2007: Guild first Karazhan

A lot of our members have been diligently working on their keys and although our first official run is not for a couple days some of our members zoned in to see what we were up against. With almost no knowledge of the fights and very little preparation time, our first 10 man team managed to kill 3 of the first bosses! Grats to everyone on their first level 70 epics!
