Utgarde Pinnacle Gauntlet skip.

Searched, didn't find any threads about this, though it seems pretty well known now.

After you run into the hallway after the second boss, you will see skadi the ruthless. Have someone in your party walk up to him, and walk back and the event will start. Guy's will line up along both sides of the hallway and NORMALLY you have to fight through all of them while picking up harpoons to shoot later. But not this time

Sit in the very back of the hallway, and wait for guys to come. Simply kill them, and have the dps in your group pick up a total of 6 harpoons, either 2 with 3, or 3 with 2. After you have the harpoons run back into the previous room until all the adds de-spawn. I suggest grabbing the front two in the gauntlet and pulling them into the room with you, so you can see when they de-spawn. Once they're gone, immediately run to the end of the very long hallway, and you'll see Skadi respawn, but this time, you'll be behind him.
Have someone(preferably a hunter with aspect of the cheetah or some other class with moment increasing skills) run up really close until he hops on his drake and flies off. The tank and healer need to be good for this part. The tank needs to stand IN the doorway at the end opposite of where Skadi spawns (by the harpoons), and a huge mob will spawn on top of him. This mob needs to be AoE'd down FAST. The dps then immediately need to run over to the harpoon launchers and wait for the pop-up that says he's vulnerable. The DPS need to launch them as quick as possible, and the tank needs to be standing right in between the door and the launchers, as this is where he will land. Once he lands, it's a simple tank n' spank. Only thing he does is a whirlwind which the dps need to watch out for, and the tank also needs to move out of this as it does insane damage.

I believe this is the right forum to post this in, seems like an exploit to me, skipping all the gaunlet

I'm sure many people already know of this, but nice posting here. +1 rep.

[Lulzi]

Needs to be put in guides in my opinion, but I can see the exploit, sort of. I'll rep if I can.

Working as intended. This method is used for the achievement of bringing Skadi down in 3mins after starting the event.

[noelneal]

Yeah, working as intended, nice detail though.

[Twinzlol]

This is also how you get the other achievement on Skadi.
