-Start the fight off by having the normal tank pull Hodir, and proceed to kill the Flash Freezes (~40k each) to free the four adds. The adds assist you an enormous amount in this fight, and keeping them alive is a huge benefit to your raid. Once all four adds are freed, start DPSing Hodir. Beware of Icicles hitting people (there will be an animation that looks like snow raining down as a warning for incoming icicles) they hit for a decent amount of damage. Much like the Keristrasza fight, you will recieve a damaging debuff if you stand still, you can remove stacks by moving, or simply jumping. The Moonkin NPC will periodically spawn beams of light (similar to the ones spawned by the Lunar Festival items), standing in them will give you a 100% haste buff, so get into those if possible.

A raid warning will call out when Hodir begins casting Flash Freeze, at which point two large, light blue circles will appear on the ground. DO NOT stand in these circles, until icicles have fallen on them to leave a clearly visible mound of snow. As soon as the snow mound appears, EVERYBODY (tank included) must stand on these mounds, or they will be encased in flash freezes, and must be broken out immediately. The NPCs will also be frozen, and should be freed as soon as possible.

The other threat to this fight is Hodir's Frozen Blows ability. This weakens Hodir's physical damage considerably, however it adds a TON of frost damage to them. Have your frost resist tank taunt him IMMEDIATELY after gaining this buff. (On ten man with ~320 resist I was still getting hit extremely hard, so I recommend going to cap with your resist). The raid will take AoE damage which must be healed through during this phase (having raid members each wear a piece of frost resist is recommended to make it easier to heal through). When the buff is gone, the MT should taunt Hodir back immediately.

Thats as good of an explanation for the fight as I can give. All in all its not too bad of a fight. Good luck :)

So this is the guy who we've been raising spears and polishing helms for.

This Hodir is not the one you fight, the one you fight is here: http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=32845

This Hodir on the other hand will spawn after you defeat him. You may talk to him and trigger the only option available in his gossip: "Lend us your aid, keeper. Together we shall defeat Yogg-Saron." When you click this option he just disappears and yells "The veil of winter will protect you, champions!". He will now assist you with his powers when you fight Yogg-Saron later on. He will then spawn as this NPC, also named Hodir.

He also says (for those interested):

Mortals, I am indebted to you for freeing me from the terrible corruption that besets this place. Though I have not yet recovered fully, I can help you battle Yogg-Saron.

I can grant you and your friends the Fortitude of Frost, increasing your damage and reducing damage taken from enemy attacks. Should one of you be about to fall in battle, I can freeze you in a block of ice, protecting you from all damage for a short time. Know that this ability taxes my power, and I must rest after using it.

Hodir.

Comment by DaemoniKira

If you annoy him (i.e. click on him a lot), he says any of the following:

Hodir!

I am Hodir.

I owe you one, but don't push it.

Cool it.

Don't make me have to put you on ice, small friend.

That's cold.

's no big deal.

Stay frosty.

A lot for one NPC!
