Our first pick is the Blackrock Caverns and in the following days we will add a similar achievements guide topics for each Cataclysm dungeon.
Crushing Bones and Cracking Skulls
Pretty simple achievement. You'll have to make the boss kill the ads with his Skullcracker ability. That ability is used ~5sec after the Chains of Woe are broken.
If your tank is well geared and uses some cooldowns he just have to tank all the spawned ads and remain on boss after the Chains are broken and take the hit. The ads are killed and the tank will take a ~100k hit.
Now, if your tank's gear is not very good or if you want a safer approach you can hold them in place after the Chains are broken. You can Frost Nova them, Shockwave or whatever your's party can do to control them for ~4-5 sec.
Everyone gather on boss keeping the ads there too, when the boss cast the Chains of Woe, Frost Nova the ads and everyone runs out.
Whatever tactic you want to ados you should do thins twice and keep in mind that the achievement is completed only after the boss dies.
Arrested Development
Basically you'll have to "fail" at this boss and let all the ads transform, kill them and after that kill the boss too.
You'll have to let the ads transform 1 at the time. You'll need an OT and two of your party members will have to continue doing the beam rotation on the remaining ads.
You'll have to clear everything in the room, including the dragonkin patrol on the way to the new boss. The OT should be further than 40 from the boss, somewhere around the ramp leading to the next boss. The healer should be placed between the MT and OT so he can heal them both.
The OT will take the boss at the back of the room and the MT will handle the ad. The idea is to keep the ads away from the boss so they wont benefit from Corla's aura.
Remember to have a backup for the beams, just in case of uninterrupted fears.
For those who don't have an OT, you can replace it with a kiter. Kite the boss around, using the top platform and stuff. A warlock will work just great for this because of its teleport.
Keep in mind only one thing: If you want to successfully complete this achievement keep the boss away from transformed ads.
Now, for better geared groups you can just tank and spank this achievement and don't care at all for Corla's aura.
Too Hot to Handle
This is not an easy achievement and your healers will have to do their job very well and keep everyone alive.
You'll have to allow the boss to gain 15 stacks of Superheated Quicksilver Armor. He gets those stacks every thick you keep it in the fire.
You don't have to allow the boss to drop the stacks before he reaches 15. If you do, the ads will spawn and you'll have to start all over again.
The tank should run through the fire to the other side when the buff is close to expire. This way the boss will gain ~2 more new stacks. Everything will be pretty normal but after 12 stacks the debuff will start to hurt pretty bad. Do not increase the stacks too fast. Alywas renew the buff in the last seconds, the healer should have the time to top everyone up, but don't go through the fire too late either.
Try not to pass 15 stacks. If everything goes well the boss should be dead before those 15 stacks expire and everyone should be pretty much alive.
If your dps is not high enough you can allow those stacks to drop, kill the ads and after that kill the boss too. The boss does not have to die with those 15 stacks on him.
Ascendant Descending
Very simple achievement if your group has a good kiter.
All you have to do is not not allow the ads hit anyone, because with the each hit they place a Crepuscular Veil debuff on you and if it hits you for four times you'll fail the achievement. Also, your pets should be kept out of ads, the debuffs on them count toward the achievement too.
You should clear everything between the Beauty's room and this boss room so nothing will interfere and the kiter will have a lot of room to run around.
The only moment you might have problems is when the boss change places with one of his ads. That will happen at 67% and 33% but the tank has like 5 sec to grab the boss again and move from the ad.
Keep in mind that the ads can be rooted and slowed and you'll need to use any slow you can to complete this achievement.
Do you have any suggestions for these achievements? How did you completed them or how do you plan to do it?
