But I guess Lich King has been PWNed gameplaywise countless times depending on skills of the player.
Lich King has never been fought by players.. He has been declared too powerful to be engaged in combat.. The three times ever he has suffered defeat was:
1. Tirion Fordring had just obtained the purified Ashbringer, the most powerful holy weapon on the planet, infused with a true embodiment of actual light. The primary weapon against the likes of Lich King (Scourge). This "victory" for the living took place at Light's Hope Chapel, the most holy ground on Azeroth. This strengthened and empowered the already powerful paladin Tirion who charged Lich King who was caught by surprise and decided to fall back, rather than fight an uncalculated battle..
2. Apothecary Putress, servant of the sharp Varimathras delivered a painful blow against the king directly.. With Varimathras help, Putress created a very potent poision that according to Varimathras was designed not only to take out the Alliance and the Horde, but the Scourge and their leader (Lich King).. Varimathras, although having designed the poison with specifications to actually kill the Lich King misscalculated the power of the dark prince and the attack failed.. Lich King survived and fled the scene (Weakend however, for while the poison did not kill him, it did injure him).. On mere mortals, this poison killed in matter of seconds by merely breathing the gases in, and it melted away your skin.. Lich King however was struck by a barrel and hit by the liquid form, and to no surprise walked away with a lowered head and a bad cough..
3. Tirion Fordring once again gives a try against the Lich King.. This time he goes towards the heart of the problem (Literally).. By attacking the (literally) heart of Arthas that was being transported (No longer in Arthas body), he hoped to either free Arthas from the King's grasp or kill the king in the same blow.. While this attack SEVERELY injured the Lich King, leaving him severely wounded by having his heart struck, having him crawl on the ground trying to regenerate from the unaccounted for attack, Darion Mograin rides up to aid the almost dead Tirion who was nearly killed in the same move as he tried taking the heart, Darion ordered an escape. He said that while Lich King was weaker than he had EVER been before, he was too strong to kill even now (Saying this while standing next to the Lich King who was on his knees, struggling to keep cuncious and barely living).. A few moments later, Darion, Tirion and all the powerful knights that had come with Darion (Probably 20-30) fled the scene and Lich King regenerated at impossible speed, rising from his knees and taking a portal out from the chamber in which you stand..
No player has ever gotten a chance to even swing against Lich King..
