Location
Gortheron (Sindarin for Horror-lord or Dead-lord) can be found within the raid Ost Dunhoth in Enedwaith. He is the last boss of the instance.
Abilities
At T2, Gortheron will have the following effect:
 Gortheron's Power - 1 This effect automatically tiers up to a maximum of tier 50. Each tier adds 10% melee, ranged and tactical damage.
 Difficulty Tier II On Tier 2
Tactics
During the fight, Gortheron will call adds from the different Medallions of the North instances (first from Northcotton Farm, then from Stoneheight, Lost Temple and lastly from Sâri-surma). Fallen adds will spawn continuously until Gortheron reaches a certain morale level and calls the next group of adds.
On T1, a tank-and-spank tactic should be sufficient.
On T2, Gortheron has the special ability 
 Gortheron's Power - 1, which makes him and his adds hit with increased melee, ranged and tactical damage. If nothing is done, this effect can increase to +500% of each damage type. Killing adds makes the effect tier down.
T2 leaves the choice to one of the following tactics:
- a DPS tactic, in which as many adds as possible are brought down in order to keep Gortheron's Power down
 - a crowd-control tactic, in which Gortheron's Power tiers up, but the adds are kept crowd-controlled
