This is the Classic Mode of Reforged and what would be the campaign mode of Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos.

Chapter Nine of the Scourge of Lordaeron Campaign.

Arthas makes his final confrontation with Mal'Ganis.


Following what seemed to be unthinkable behavior on Arthas's part, Muradin confronts Arthas about his actions, but Arthas refuses to budge, justifying his vengeance to repay the destruction the Undead spread across Lordaeron. Standing against more powerful forces than his troops could handle, Arthas and Muradin place their bet on the runeblade Frostmourne that Muradin had come to Northrend in search of. Together with a small retinue of troops, Arthas and Muradin go through a waygate to a passage guarded by evil spirits. They fight their way through to a be met by a guardian that stands to block anyone hoping to claim Frostmourne.

In its death throes, the guardian warns Arthas that it is not there to protect the runeblade, but protect those who would seek it out from it.

Muradin reads an inscription on the dais holding Frostmourne, confirming the guardian's warnings to be true. Muradin's bade Arthas to return and leave the cursed blade be, but Arthas calls out to the spirits of the place and takes the cursed blade paying the cost with Muradin's life and his own soul, and gains the power to defeat Mal'Ganis.

He returns to his base and informs his men of Muradin's death but makes no mention of how Muradin died. Armed with the mighty Frostmourne, Arthas demolishes the Undead standing in his way and comes face to face with Mal'Ganis.

Mal'Ganis had only been following orders and was pleased to see Arthas had the drive to sacrifice so much. Thinking the Lich King's plans to turn Arthas into a ruthless murderer had worked as planned, Mal'Ganis let his guard down and assumed the Lich King would have Arthas stay his end. But to his surprise Mal'Ganis was betrayed and the Lich King, through Frostmourne, told Arthas he shall have his revenge, and Arthas cuts Mal'Ganis down with Frostmourne.

At the end of the battle he walks off alone into the cold wasteland driven mad by the sword. After some time had passed, Arthas returns to Lordaeron hailed a hero. However Arthas returned from Northrend changed and the voices from Frostmourne told him to slay his father then and there in the throne room, throwing the kingdom into chaos as it lost its ruler.

The game is far from fixed both in being playable and its reputation, but I'd like to share how the state of things are in late 2022.
