Acrocalypse Now
On the Croc boss encounter, those little ads spawn from time to time. All you have to do is to "collect" 20 of those and AoE them down.
Each wave contain 4 ads. Therefor you'll need to wait for 5 waves come.
The normal way to do this is to kite the ads around until all 20 are spawned. Each Scent of Blood debuff applied to a player tells you that another set of ads are spawned. After 5th debuff is applied, gather the ads and AoE them down.
The ads can be taunted and slowed. They will be pretty easy to handle for a kiter.
Another way to do this is to make the little ads to evade. This is not the legit way, but is doable.
You can either have all your member on top of those Croc statues. This way the boss is tankable and stuff but the ads will evade.
OR, you can go for a swim on either side of that pyramid and make the ads evade while you are in the water.
Whatever evade version you pick just count the number of ads, jump on them, tank should taunt them and the dps should kill them asap.
Keep in mind that if you fail the achievement you can wipe and come back. The you get the achievement by killing the ads, you don't have to kill the boss too...
You should pick the normal way for this achievement and don't relay on evade since this can be fixed anytime and you'll blame me afterwards.
Kill It With Fire!
Pretty easy achievement. All you have to do is to kill those Soul Fragments (the dark copies of yourselves from the phase 2) while they have the Burning buff on them.
Now, here is what you should do. In phase one leave that phoenix alone and make it spread that trail of fire as much as you can.
When phase two starts all the dps, and the healer, should have between them and the dark phoenix, one of those trails of fire. This way, when the Soul Fragments spawn and start moving toward the phoenix, they will pass through the fire and get the Burning buff. After they get that buff you should kill them within 8 seconds. Basically, when you see the buff on them, start dpsing them. Or you can dps them slow, let them take the buff and then kill them. Whatever you prefer.
The tank can move too and make the Soul Fragments pass through those fires, especially if one of those Soul Fragments spawn from any melee.
Keep in mind that you can stun/root them, and if you stun them in fire this will be extremely easy.
It doesn't matter if you lost one of those mobs, if it died too early or too late... you can keep killing them until you get the achievement. You don't have to kill the boss to get this achievement.
Headed South
Well, this is one of the hardest, if not THE hardest achievement you'll have to deal with in Cataclysm dungeons. Plus, most likely not everyone in your party will get this achievement, because of the amount of healing needed for it and the current state of gear.
So, here is what you have to do.
You'll need to have 3 stacks of that Lightning debuff on you and kill the boss. To get that debuff you'll have to kill a Servant of Siamat and stay in melee range when he dies. The debuff is up for 30 sec. You'll have to kill another Servant of Siamat within 30 sec to keep the debuff on you. After the third Servant spawns, kill it and nuke the boss. The boss should die withing 30 seconds or you'll fail the achievement.
This maybe sounds easy, but is not. You'll need a lot of firepower and like I said, not everyone in your party will get the achievement.
Here is how the fight should occur.
When the fight starts, NUKE the boss, before he cast that shield of his. Kill the caster ads as they spawn. Stay spread all the time. Kill the melee ads, those servants, not too quick but not to slow either or you'll lose that debuff.
When the third servant dies, the shield will drop and you'll have to kill the boss in 30 sec. If your dps is high enough and only one or maximum two players aim or the achievement this is pretty much doable with a bit of practice. Remember to keep the ones with the debuff alive, spread out, don't stand in storms and NUKE the boss when time comes.
Another way to do it, a much safer way is this:
All the dps should nuke the boss at start. Use a countdown if needed so everyone will start at once. You'll take the boss around 90% right from the start.
Kill all the caster ads while you KEEP dpsing the boss. The boss may be taking 90% less dmg, but 10% is more than nothing. When the melee ad spawns, take it to around 30% and go back on boss. Do the same with the second melee ad while the tank kite them around. When the third Servant comes, kill it and take the debuff. Again, only those going for the achievement should take the debuff. Not everyone can do it, don't be stubborn, tomorrow is another day.
The boss will drop the shield as the last spawned ad dies and it should be at 60-70%HP now. After the boss stop sending you flying all around the room, you should focus on him. Watch the debuff. When is close to 10 sec you should kill another add, that is should be at 20-30% hp now. Those who need it, take the debuff and resume your dps on boss. Do the same with the last ad, take it's debuff and resume on boss. Boss should be at ~20% now and you should kill it in 30 sec.
Marking the ads as they spawn will make things easy for the group.
Spreading out and avoiding the storms will help the healer a lot.
If only One or max Two people is aiming for the achievement will make thing very easy. In 2-3 days all your party can complete this achievement.
Range dps are better to have here (don't they always?)
This achievement will become much more easy with time. Having better gear is a big plus here.
Do you have any suggestions for these achievements? How did you completed them or how do you plan to do it?
