Kommentar von madmurdock

Wenn ihr das solo machen wollt, empfehle ich das mit den Pet Klassen Hunter oder Hexer etc zu machen.

So haben die Pets aggro und ihr könnt ohne Probs die Arkanen Leuchtfeuer abschalten ohne vom Boss getroffen zu werden.

Ziel des Achievements ist es während des Bosskampfes alle 5 Leuchtfeuer (sind so Säulen) zu benutzen. Nicht vorher. Da der Cast lang ist, haben SÄMTLICHE Nicht Pet Klassen Probleme ohne Tricks wie Ingi Gürtel, Sprints etc. und werden dabei unterbrochen.

Für das Achievement müsst ihr sämtlichen Trash vor dem Bosskampf killen, der um die Beacons steht. Ganz wichtig sind die Wächter(innen). Diese aktivieren iirc die Dinger und das ACM ist vorbei. Man kann aber bei Fehlern sich sterben lassen/totstellen und die Instanz resetten.

Habt ihr alles gecleared, lasst ihr euer Pet Aggro ziehen und bringt den Boss auf 70%. Dann stellt ihr das Pet auf passive und follow. 5 Adds kommen nun und ihr haut die fix per Single target dmg um. Nun rennt ihr alle 5 Beacons ab und klickt auf die. Da der Boss auf das Pet und nicht auf euch haut, habt ihr dabei kein Prob. Sein Buff ist nun von 5 auf 0 runter.

Leider buggt es an dieser Stelle je nach Killspeed. Der Boss versucht wieder zu seinem Start Punkt zu kommen und wenn er dabei stirbt, evaded er. Es gab nichts wasich bei meinem ersten Try hier machen konnte. Er stand einfach nur dumm rum mit voller HP und war immun.
Beim 2. Try hab ich ihn killen können, aber er war glaub ich wieder kurz vorm Evaden.

Evtl muss man hier sehr stark bursten um das zu entgehen oder man muss ihn zurücklaufen lassen zu seiner Start Posi. Dazu müsste man wohl etwas testen, was ich nicht brauchte, da es beim 2. Mal geklappt hat.

GL.

This achievement is for the Patrouillenoffizier Gerdo boss encounter in Der Hof der Sterne.

The name of this achievement seems to be a reference to Waiting for Godot, a play by Samuel Beckett, written in the early 1950's. The play also had a film adaptation (of the same name) made in the 00's.

Kommentar von linodas

There are 5 watchposts, don't disable them when you clean trash mobs.

After Patrouillenoffizier Gerdo cast Leuchtfeuersignal, disable watchposts. Because we didn't disable any watchposts before, so Patrouillenoffizier Gerdo will summon 5 adds in once, should kill them at first(or tank will die).

Kommentar von Mcpoof

To do this achievement, you need to kill the boss after disabling the 5 signal beacons.

To do so, you must

1) Do not click any beacons before starting the boss. If you do so you need to reset the instance.

2) You need to clear most of the trash more importantly, every trash mob around the beacons.

3) As you pull the boss, you can start dpsing him

4) After around 10 seconds, he will do a spell called Leuchtfeuersignal. When he does so he will spawn 5 adds (1 from each beacon). The tank should pop cooldowns because he will get hammered.

5) After you kill the 5 adds, you need to turn off every beacon before killing the boss. I suggest sending one dps to do all 5 of them.

6) After all the beacons are disabled, you can kill the boss.

A tip is to stun the adds. Also if you can counterspell them before they cast Behindern, you can also dispel it off your teammates

Kommentar von paygen

Just got this achievement. This is one of the easier ones for Legion.

First clear all the trash around each beacon before pulling the boss. They are clickable pillars inside the instance. Some of the trash patrols around so be safe and kill it. Put a raid marker next to them so they are easy to see when you have to click them later.

Do not touch the beacons before pulling the boss. Eventually he will cast Signal Beacons during the encounter. This will spawn an add from each of the five beacons in the instance. Have the tank pick them up (they will run to the group so loosely stacking is good) and then use offensive cooldowns as they do have a bit of health.

After the adds are dead have the dps go back through the instance and channel each beacon to deactivate them. Kill the boss and congratulations!

Here is a video of my group doing it:

Kommentar von Tomkins

Did a quick video on this achievement very straight forward as long as tank can take the hits and healer can keep him alive should have no trouble ;D! Happy Hunting!

Kommentar von Keyserling

The name is a reference for the Samuel Becket's play.

Kommentar von Elyssaelina

TLDR;

1. DO NOT CLICK any beacons before first boss.

2. Clear all trash around all 5 beacons (2 before boss, 3 around him).

3. Organise for 2 speedy people to be runners. e.g. monk, druid

4. Pull boss, hold dps until he casts Signal Beacon.

5. Kill adds that spawn.

6. Runners grab the first 2 beacons, other 3 grab 3 beacons around boss.

7. Kill boss.

Kommentar von littlegreenwoman

it is possible to 2-man this. just get a competent tank who is able to survive on his own and a dps. things stun a bit but with a high enough health pool, both survive easily (we were both 930+, dk and wl).

Kommentar von dle0105

Can confirm this is obtainable in HEROIC mode! Was able to solo as a Blood DK.

Only tricky part was timing the beacon disables with his Resonant Slash so that I didn't get my cast interrupted from him attacking me. I am not sure how far you can kite him until he resets, if he resets, because I got him to 25% on his bridge which forced him to go after his potion. Then, I just used rocket boots and Wraith Walk to grab the last two beacons and met him back on his bridge to finish him off.

Kommentar von densmore

this can be done on heroic. it can be solo'd as well with a prot spec.

Kommentar von Bursi

Soloed it as a tank. When I ran back to the entrance to deactivate the last beacon, the boss became unattackable after he crossed the bridge. After around one minute where I couldn't deal damage on him, he swapped back to his spawn point without resetting. Killed him and got achievement credit.

Kommentar von ehnaton

Relatively easy solo as a guardian druid. Did on mythic as ~250ilvl, but I read it can be done on heroic - should be much easier.

Key points:

- clear most of the trash around beacons - you need that room to run around
- if you take boss to the first pillar at the entrance only 2 guards agro, the other 3 guys standing next to their spawn points and can be pulled on by one later - no stunlock
- boss attacks do interrupt you when disabling the beacon, but he is very slow walker - casts his abilitties every two steps. Just run around with a boost (travel form for a druid)

Kommentar von NinjaFlibble

ok, evading when I take all your beacons down is cheating, Gerdo

Kommentar von NinjaFlibble

To solo this, run him back to his normal spot after dropping the fifth beacon. Otherwise he'll evade.

Kommentar von CyberBlade

You can't let any of the Sentry's click a beacon either. I had to reset the instance.

Kommentar von Rautha

After reading the comments about the evade bug I tried something different solo.

To avoid the evade bug I did the beacon across the bridge FIRST! (the one furthest away). He did not evade across the bridge that way.
After that I went backwards and disabled all the beacons up to the normal boss area the last one being in the circle surrounding the boss's potion.
He never evaded that way.
I tried doing it the other way with the one across the bridge last and he never reset back to the spawn point like other people said, even after like 5-10 minutes. I had to hearth out and reset instance. The second try I did like i said above and he never went into evade mode and I got the achievement.

This is the best way to solo this that I have found.

Kommentar von Zityrian

Soloable as a 120 Hunter.

- Clear out the entire area of any mobs. Don't let any Sentries click any of the beacons.

- Get boss to 70%. He spawns adds. Kill the adds.

- Have your pet generate a bit of threat, but not too much, we want the boss to be comfortably alive throughout this. Put your pet on Passive.

- Use your Feign Death. The boss will now focus on your pet. You now have a timer to complete the achievement in peace, which is the HP bar of your pet.

- Use your pet's Move To command to maneuver your pet, and therefore the boss, around the area. Keep your pet away from you so that you don't get hit by Resonating Strike and the other abilities of the boss. Keep your pet close enough so that it doesn't despawn.

- Deactivate the beacons one by one. For the beacon furthest from where the boss spawns, aka the beacon that you come accross first when you enter the instance, keep your pet on the other side of the bridge, so that the boss never moves too far from his spawn. This will keep the boss from evading and reseting.

- When all five beacons are deactivated, kill the boss.

This worked on my first try. Keep a cool head and it should work on your first try as well.

Easy Solo Achievement for Pet Classes Level 120+ and Beyond...

0. This Achievement works even if the World Quests aren't up for the next achievement: 'Dropping Some Eaves' to work.

1. Mythic Difficulty. (yeah, yeah, I know it's apparently possible in Heroic--Blizzard may change this at any time so do Mythic anyway, it's easy.)

2. Clear the Trash in the entire area leading up to the first boss.

3. Do NOT allow the Sentries to get to the Beacons once you begin to fight them, kill them ASAP.

4. To make them easier to find later, I marked all Five Arcane Beacons, starting with the Skull, then Cross, then Ice Cube, etc.

5. Begin Fight, Misdirect to Pet/Keep Boss Aggro on Pet, bring Boss Health down to 70%

6. Boss will Signal, kill the trash.

7. Deactivate the Beacons. Keep your pet with aggro on Boss in viewing range, so it doesn't despawn.

8. Leave the Beacon at 32.5, 17.2 for last.

9. When getting to the Beacon that you saw first (the one furthest away from the boss at the start), keep the boss on the other side of the bridge leading up to that Beacon. The first bridge is fine to cross, but the second, Boss should stay on that other side and not cross that second bridge.

10. My pet despawned at one point, because I got too far, but it wasn't the end of the world, I was able to whistle it back into position without any issues.

11. Finally, once the first four beacons are disabled, head to the beacon that I told you to save for last at 32.5, 17.2

12. Bring the boss back to his original starting position, or at least very close to it, so he doesn't evade.

13. Disable the Final Beacon.

14. Nuke the Boss.

15. ?

16. Profit. Achievement Completed.

Kommentar von ZalidTheBur

This still works in heroic mode. I'd used my mythic lockout on the other achieve which requires deactivating the beacons, so thought I'd try this on heroic. Happily it worked.

Kommentar von teddeadly

I can confirm I soloed this as an assassination rogue. I got Gerdo to about 70% health, killed his adds, ran to the pillars and was able to abuse his movement speed+cast time to disable them. Not really sure that is necessary as he cast a few spells/melee on me and it didn't interrupt the channel....I got the achievement. Good luck :)

Kommentar von scharky

no prob at all on mythic 2/15/2020, on my 460 boomkin.

some people mention a problem where he evades and resets, but maybe blizz fixed that, because i had no evade problem. i cleared all the trash around the beacons, making sure no sentries activated them, then hit the boss and let him call adds. i killed the adds using no aoe, then ran to each beacon making sure the boss was close to me the whole time.

should have no prob clicking the beacons, it might take a few tries but you'll get the cast done easily. if he interrupts it, just click again, it'll be no problem.

don't dot the boss, you don't want him to die before you can click all the beacons. you'll see a buff on the boss showing how many beacons are left.

1st beacon: at your immediate right just before you get to the first bridge leading to the boss.
2nd: to your right before the second bridge leading to the boss.
3rd, 4th, 5th: in the boss area, around the circle where he patrols.

*edit*: remember, you don't have to finish the dungeon or hearth to get out. you can run back to the dock and talk to the stealthed NPC (Dusk Lily Agent), and it'll port you back to the beginning.

Kommentar von Nightcrawler666

Came here to confirm that doing this on heroic still works.

Kommentar von Ciupanezu

Gerdo bugged for me at the 5th beacon, basically the first beacon you encounter as you leave the tower with the stairs coming from the docks. Pay attention at those four steps near first bridge, if he stays there, fills his health and ticks evade consider your achieve failed. Didn't knew what to do, I've run outside then back in without resetting the dungeon(figured out after unfortunately) and found all cleared till Gerdo and he was reseted but as I started fight noticed he didn't had anymore those 5 buffs from the pillars. Don't do what I did.

Kommentar von eKatherine

I just got stuck after Gerdo reset and evaded at the first beacon. I had to bring in another character to disable the first two beacons.

Kommentar von srwaan

If you have any trouble with him evading (like I did), after clearing the beacons, bring him back to where he patrols and kill him there. It worked for me

Kommentar von staarx

TLDR: Make sure Gerdo is in his initial patrol room before he gets to 30% HP or he will evade bug and fail your achievement.

To keep Gerdo from evade bugging: Bring Gerdo to 70% so he will call for backup. Kill the adds. You can deactivate the pillars in any order that you'd like. Around 30% the boss goes to drink a potion next to the fountain in his starting room. If you are not fighting him in his starting room (i.e. you have dragged him to the pillar near the entrance) he will evade bug at this point when he gets to 30%. To avoid this, make sure he is being killed in his initial area he patrols.

Side note to those who might think they wasted their Mythic lockout and came here wondering why. Like others have said (and I am continuing to confirm) this achievement can also be complete in heroic mode despite it saying it needs to be done on mythic difficulty.

Kommentar von iamcanadian

Managed to solo this as 120 feral druid. It was annoying, though, as the boss kept interrupting me while I was casting the beacon action.

What worked was to speed burst away from him and click a far beacon while he was running to catch up. Between those speed cooldowns, I just kept working on the clicking the beacon between his interrupts.

Much easier to do if you have a second player to keep the boss aggroed while you click the beacons. Still possible to solo, though, just keep at it whenever he interrupts you.

Kommentar von JoopZ

Experiencing issues where jumping doesn't remove stacks as intended, and he also doesn't activate the beacons.

Kommentar von tigerwolf1967

This is absolute crap, the arcane lockdown are horrindous, will stun no matter what, jumping does absolutely nothing. He will hit you with multiple ones constantly. Save yourself a headache and bring several friends. Blizz at their finest yet again

Kommentar von biggaz13

Easily soloed as a Shadow Priest 194
Nitro boots!

1. Clear all the trash. Target those sentries first. Almost one shot now
2. Softly hit the boss
3. At 70% he will call in some adds
4. Kill all adds
5. Then make your way to the furthest beacon. But just far enough away so your nitro boots can cover the last bit of distance. Dismantle. You will have enough time
6. By then he will be back with you. When he stops and casts you can speed run to the next beacon (Body & Soul for the SP). With some luck you can dismantle the next beacons before he gets back to you. Face him for improved evading skills
7. Otherwise nitro boots to the next beacon. 2 minute CD on the Nitro boots....
8. As everyone says keep the last beacon near his resting spot last. There has been issue where he evades all attacks rendering the Achievement useless if you do it the other way around
9. Burn the boss after 5 beacons down
Achievement

Kommentar von Stamina

Shadowlands 9.0.5

As others have mentioned, even though the achievement states mythic I was able to complete this on heroic mode.

The steps I took as a druid:

Clear all the trash between the first beacon and the boss (along with the trash around the beacons themselves).

Damage the boss to 70% or lower, so he will signal the beacons, starting the achievement progress.

I immediately ran and deactivated the first beacon (back towards the entrance) first, so I could work my way back to avoid him evading. (worth noting he kept evading until I did it this way)

I killed the adds on my way back to deactivate the remaining beacons, then killed the boss, and received credit for the achievement.

Kommentar von Altyni

Can still be completed on heroic as of 04/10/2021.

Kommentar von HunterLeon

I thought it would be worth noting that you can't complete this achievement and Dropping Some Eaves on the same run, but you can do one on Mythic and the other one on Heroic.

Kommentar von Gaara3San

1) Go on HC (you can reset instance if you fail it)
2) Clear mobs next to beacons (do it fast, they cant use alarm and deactivate it)
3) Make sure that all 5 beacons are clickable, but dont click on them (if you dont kill right trash mobs fast they can deactivate beacons)
4) Pull boss and get him under 70% hp
5) He will spawn 5 adds, kill all of them
6) Go and click on all 5 beacons (if you have problem with it, just w8 for boss casting his stun ability and click on beacon while it)
7) Kill boss
8) CG! Easy achiev ^^

Kommentar von Ambrotos2

So as of dragonflight. This dungeon is in the S1 pool of m+. You can still just do the regular mythic on legacy.

Easy to solo!

1 Make it easy on yourself and clear the trash/sentry's.
2 Take off any gear that has an auto dmg effect to prevent gerdo from getting more dmg
3 I slapped him twice with auto attack which prompted him to use his reinforcement bell.
4 This step is critical otherwise you'll bug Gerdo. Start at the first beacon and work your way back. My first try I did that one last and slapped him to the phial phase which apperantly was out of his range thus bugging him. I had to reset and do it all over.
5 Just to be sure, let him take his phial (i'm not even sure if you can skip this at all). And then kill him. Congratz, you have the trophy :)

Happy hunting!

Kommentar von Ozzkat

For anyone coming to this page just for this straight answer, here you go: YOU STILL MUST DRAG GERDO BACK TO HIS ORIGINAL PATROL AREA TO AVOID THE FIGHT GLITCHING OUT.

If you think like me, you might go into this fight in DF thinking, "Oh, this was xpacs ago, surely they've fixed it," and tried to kill him immediately after disabling the furthest beacon; I can verify they have not, as I tried to get this achievement a few days back soloing and sure enough, he began to evade, and I had to port out and then come back in... and to make the achievement impossible to obtain on this specific character, the beacons did not re-activate with the fight refreshing, making it so that for this week, this achievement was not obtainable - on this character, anyway.

It's always better to be safe than sorry, so heed even old comments pointing out bugs!

Kommentar von Mhaw

As Today (04/17/2023)
On Mythic difficulty, i just killed all trashs, looked at the beacons to make sure that all of them were clickable.
Pulled boss toward the farest beacon, hit him to <70%, waited a bit for the farest adds to come (one was missing, so i only killed 4 of them at this point), clicked on the 2 beacon here, runned back to the initial boss area (the 5th adds was here, i just killed it on the way), clicked the remaning beacon, killed boss, got the achiement.

Kommentar von borcar

Just did this as a guardian druid in DF and it took a few tries as druid has alot of aoe spells which ended up killing the boss too fast or by accident when targeting the adds he spawns. I followed all the below guides around clearing the trash first and then switched to cat form as a guardian druid.

1) took off any AOE trinkets etc
2) equipped the legion guardian claws weapon to drop dmg a bit
3) aggro gordo with autoattack once and turned off; then again once and turned off to get him right below 70% and spawns the adds
4) ran to the farthest beacon and disabled it then worked my way back to main room
5) at main room i individually target each add and hit once with shred which has no AOE (i made mistake of using thrash first run which also hit boss and killed him with bleeds)
6) with each add down i just clicked on the remaining beacons in the main room
7) target boss and kill

Achievement done.

Kommentar von Merancapeman

So I tried to solo this achievement and it seems that like all things Blizzard sometimes it will just bug out because you brought their health down too hard or something stupid like that. He didn't summon any adds despite being below 70%, and therefore the achievement was not completed.

Kommentar von Telkota

I can confirm that it still works on Heroic as of February 2024.
Just cleared out all the mobs around the beacons, took off all my armor, got the boss down below 70% and started with the beacon that's farthest away and taking the boss back to where you engage him. No issues with evading.

Hopefully it stays like that for anyone doing Glory of the Legion Hero in the future, seeing as the other achievement in the dungeon can't be done at the same time
