It's patch day for World of Warcraft, and our sister site WoW Insider is delivering some delicious Lich King beta news for fans just waiting for the servers to come back up. Today's gem is a lengthy, spoilerific walkthrough for the one of the expansion's first five-man dungeons: Utgarde Keep. From reading through the guide, it looks like Utgarde is a pretty standard dungeoncrawl. This Howling Fjord explorable area is, as the guide states, "great for teaching newer players the ropes."

It's also filled to the brim with the barbarian Vrykul, the proto-human race that has allied with the Lich King across the continent of Northrend. You'll go up against the race's elite, and might even explore a bit of Northrend lore while you're at it. Check out the full guide for insights into that stuff, tips on how to deal with the dungeon's numerous trash pulls, and strats for each of the trio of boss fights.
