I believe this quest is in reference to a Jimmy Buffet song "Volcano" - the main line of the song is "I don't know, where I'm'a gunna go, when the volcano blows!"

In order to obtain this achievement, you must avoid Lava Strike, NOT the flame wall. Lava Strike is a targeted aoe, similar to Void Reaver's Arcane Orb. It is an individual achievement.

Our main tank earned this achievement without trying to dodge any Lava Strikes. Perhaps there is either a minimum range within Sartharion that they won't hit or an area in front of him which will never be hit. If the second is the case then that would explain why his cleave attack does such little damage compared to other bosses.

The easiest way to get this achievement is to suicide right at the start of the fight.

Kommentar von weilhart

Honestly, the Lava Strikes are so unimportant compared to the rest of the fight that anyone taking the time to get this achievement isn't going to be very helpful at all, especially when attempting the fight with twilight drakes still up. It blows my mind that Blizzard would add achievements for making a peanut butter jelly sandwich while you should be helping the raid.

Don't even attempt this achievement when doing 3 drake Sartharion. If you do, odds are you are gonna be worthless for the raid. In my opinion this is a rather dumb achievement for people to do on this encounter. There are far more important things to watch out for rather than some small random damage doing ability...

Kommentar von Tauranbalanc

This Achivement can easily be done. Even got this while tanking all the elements. Easy Mode ^_^

While killing yourself is the easiest method... it's not going to look very good to your raid group or to your repair bill. The earlier comment about not doing this with drakes up is ENTIRELY valid. Once you start taking portals and messing around with spawns, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep dodging the volcanic strikes.

I got this achievement on both normal and heroic difficulty in one day. (I lived through the entire fight each time)

You need to make it your NUMBER ONE priority, so it is definitely best if you have established yourself as a good member of the group and won't be marred seriously by a little hardcore under-performance. I lopped a good 400 points off my dps to focus on jumping around like a madman to avoid being hit. The other most important thing was to find myself an isolated corner of the island. Do your best NOT to draw attention to yourself with healing or aoe aggro, and lay into the boss as you would normally... while keeping your camera zoomed out to the maximum range. This is of course easier for ranged dps than anyone else. My group usually bunches up on one side of Sartharion, so I made it a point to quickly get to the other side and have it all to myself the entire fight. I didn't consecrate to boost dps, because that could have gotten adds on me. Once you just start thinking about it and get ready to dodge, it's a matter of a little luck and movement skill. Enjoy.

Alrighty - I managed to complete this achievement last night, and I don't really see any good guides here on how to get it (while participating in the fight, that is... dying on the pull isn't exactly a guide :P ), so this is what I did.

There are two key things to know to make this easier to get than just hoping you get lucky:

Sartharion is a noisy bugger and likes to yell before you get a rain of lava strikes.
Lava strikes always come from one of the tornado-looking things surrounding the island.

Therefore, whenever you hear/see Sartharion yell something, tilt your camera up so that you're looking towards the sky in the direction of the tornado that's spitting out the lava strikes. If you see any that are headed your way, move! I don't remember having to avoid lava strikes and lava waves at the same time, but still remember to keep an eye out for the waves.

Aaaaaand that's about it. The hardest part occurs when Sartharion hits 10%. He summons lots of elemental adds, which means lots of lava strikes. Just keep looking upwards and moving around to avoid them. Successfully completing this achievement while actually doing the fight is one of the more rewarding things in the game!

Lol this was rediculously easy, I just got it in heroic mode while still being an asset to my team =D

All i did was stand on the opposite side of sarth than the rest of the raid. They all dps'd from his side facing the door, i was standing on the side facing the 2nd drake. When the flame wall came, i would fall into the hole and then right back to my special side =D Fight ended, i was the only one with the achievment ^^

Kommentar von darknesscalls

Tanked Sartharion with 3 Drakes up (DK Tank FTW!) and got the achievement, didn't even try to go for it, just seems that I was lucky, but it was probably simpler for me since I wasn't near any raid members, I was tanking him to the front left corner of the island.

To clarify as said above, this achievement does NOT mean that you need to dodge the fire walls (as many in my guild thought originally), but rather, you need to avoid the Lava Strike which is an AoE attack that you can dodge.

Of course, the simplest way to achieve this is to die right from the start and don't release until the fight is complete. Someone in the raid died from a void zone right off the bat (fail), and got the achievement at the end.

I think it's a silly achievement personally, I'd rather have a more challenging one like defeat Sartharion while not killing any fire elemental adds, or whatever, instead of something that is a bit more random, but ah well.

I got the 10-man version on my first kill, and wondered about that.

Now that I learn it is the little meteor thingies I'm deeply disappointed. Seriously, that's a pretty bad achievement. Yes, you can do it obviously, but it isn't something that either makes it easier for the raid (achievement for being a good raider), nor is it a hardcore achievement like various other achievements.

Would rather that it was just the Flame Walls and be done with it. They are at least an issue at times if people get hit.

Kommentar von evilsaint

In the midst of waiting for this pug 25 man group to get together, and I noticed that the strikes slowly but surely come down before you even engage Sartherion. I have no idea if getting hit by one before the fight would count against the achievement, but is there any way to get confirmation?

*update*

Indeed, my theory does work. With the permission of the group I was in, after making sure that I got hit by a Lava Strike before Sarth was engaged, I just jumped in the lava immediately at the start of the fight and died off. I did it naked, died before the first flame wall, and made SURE that I didn't get hit by any strikes during the fight. I cleared Recount beforehand and it showed no inc damage other than from the magma.

At the end, however, I didn't get the achievement which proves that if you get hit by the fire bolts before the fight even starts, you will not get credit for the achievement!. Something to be wary of, if you're aiming for this achievement but your raid is taking it's time...

just managed this whilst we were doing 20man on heroic.
just camped fairly close to the north side safe zone (where Vesperon lands) and kept my camera on maximum distance, directly looking over my character.*
did my best to use quick dps spells, and i focused purely on avoiding all lava strikes and lava walls.
safe to say i did a gd job cos i only lost one place on dps meter :)
its like alien invader in 3d, just got to factor in lava walls in too.
btw closer to the magma, the easier to avoid the lava strikes.
did this as mage, so i had benefit of ice block, blink to deal with lava walls when i was captivated by lava strike dodging.
also as FF spec, i was using scorches more often than usual.
hope that provides some constructive feedback.

* we tank the boss in the south eastern corner of the platform.

Kommentar von xger

For those of you tracking this with Recount or something similar under Damage Taken, it is registered as Fire Cyclone

If you are having trouble dodging the fireballs (especially towards the end), you can do like my guild:
Have ~15 people suicide in the beginning and kill Sartharion with ~10.
It's definately possible, and after 2-3 weeks using this tactic, the entire raidgroup should have the achievement :)

Kommentar von 22771

Last night we spent 4 hours working on Sarth with 3 drakes. I can't confirm that I was hit by a Lava strike in that time, but I can't possibly believe I avoided them the entire 4 hours.

Then at the end of the night we killed Shadron, and then completed Sarth with 2 drakes. When we completed the kill, I earned this achievement, so I think it is safe to say that, at least on 3 drake, previous attempts are not counted against you in earning this achievement.

I suspect that the Lava strikes against you are cleared at the encoutner reset as long as all 3 drakes are reset, but once you've killed one of the drakes, you no longer get the reset.

This achievement is kind of like the Infernals in the Prince Malchezar fight from Karazhan.
Getting it really isn't that hard, but the thing is: the Lava Strike is completely random. It can hit just about anywhere, whether it's in a crowd of 10 or 100 yds away from the raid.

My advice: Don't bother trying to get this achievement, but rather just do the fight and hope that you get lucky.

True, you CAN just die right after engaging Sartharion, but that makes you look like a complete jerk if you don't get the OK from the raid leader first (or possibly like a n00b if you try to pass it off as an "accidental death"). Deaths that you really couldn't control (i.e, the Elementals that spawn end up swarming you) are a completely different situation.

Kommentar von Frankyy

I earned this achievement in my first run of OS on heroic and on regular difficulty, it was quite unexpected. But considering they were my first raids as an 80 and I was dead for the entirety of both fights with Sartharion... it was pretty easy and just required me to spectate the other 9 / 24 people burn down Sarth... Not to mention I got Hyaline Helm of the Sniper (second best hunter helm atm) for laying there with my face in the dirt

Edit: and in reply to what Groundlord said, it actually was an accidental death as my computer cannot handle all the AoE's and spells, and thus my screen freezes up... which completely sucks =/

Kommentar von 302353

I have done Sarth multiple times with my DK, never got it. First time I went with my warlock: achievement pops up at the end. Possibly just luck, but I was standing at maximum range my spells allowed (talents for extra range). I only had to move once to avoid a wall, otherwise i didn't move at all.

Don't know if the extra range helps or it was just luck. Probably luck.

Kommentar von 218210

Might be a good thing, For Casters, I found a safespot for this achievement, will be posting a screenshot shortly!

Kommentar von 314924

Easy as caster/healer, just camp out at the little island that is just before sartharions island as you come from the entrance, when a fire wave comes from the left when standing on the island and facing sarth just quickly jump on the main island wait out the fire wave and then jump back to the little island.
The lava strikes doesnt seem to ever hit the small island and if you get hit the few seconds you are on main island avoiding fire wall then you are very unlucky.
Been testing this for 4 weeks on both 10 and 25 man and it has worked everytime.
This also means that you wont take any dmg at all aslong as you avoid the waves and adds also, meaning your healers will be happy with you.
Could also be done same way for meele if tank position it well for you.

Kommentar von TheRealizedOne

Main-tanked Sartharion on 25-man tonight, got this w/o knowing what it was for. I thought, "an achievement for avoiding the flame walls? Kinda redundant, but I guess that was one way of making raiders learn proper positioning when this was current content". Come to wowhead, read the criteria..... dumbfounded. I think the RNG Gods granted me this one to make up for all the abysmal rolls I've had on loot recently :)

Kommentar von 893364

Got this one as a tank, after trying 10 as DPS, is eastier for tanks cause u need to face dragon away from raids and you are away from lava strikes

Kommentar von 669378

Been awhile since I attempted this achievement again, since back in Wrath of the Lich King, I was always under the impression this was RNG Luck.

However after going back in again for abit of fun, I got this Achievement and I will tell you right now that:

This achievement has NOTHING TO DO WITH RNG LUCK

Here's how to do it:

As soon as Satharion is engaged you will see five (5) fiery tornados spawn on the ring of lava around the boss's platform.

This tornado will occassionally spit out a lava bolt (Lava Strike) at a random player's location. Take note that the fiery tornado will continue to spit out lava strike even after you wipe. So make sure you pay attention as to not get hit by Lava Strike while everyone is grouped up and buffing.

The Lava Strike comes down pretty slowly, so here's some tips:

1) If you're a melee/range or healer. Try to find a spot with the least amount of people.

For melee, most of the time the majority of players will always stack on one side - so the best side to do this is on the opposite side. - Healers range makes no difference since at level 85 all of the fire doesn't even hurt
For Range and Healers, try to find a spot where you got a decent range from others (about 10-15 yards), this will give you a pretty safe space to move around in without the risk of running into someone else Lava Strike
For tanks, probably the easy role to get this achievement with, since for the most part you will always be by yourself, the only thing that makes this hard is the size of the boss obscuring your vision

2) Have your camera distance at MAX! this is a must, as it will allow you to see any lava strike falling towards you.
3) Finally when you see a Lava Strike headed towards your location, adjust accordingly - you don't need to move alot, from what I can see the hit radius is only about 6-8 yards. Just make sure you don't run into another Lava Strike while avoiding your one.

Kommentar von Diodor

This achieve is so annoying if you are trying to do it without 1900+ resolution where you can zoom out camera 50 yards above your character. On my 1650 resolution i only see meteors just before they land no matter how much i zoom out camera.

Kommentar von QFred

A good way for a ranged to make this achievement, if your tank grabs the boss at the middle and the raid piles nearer the door, is to get behind it, ensuring you have lots of space to run from Lava Strikes and to grab aggro from any of the miniboss drakes. I got my achievement as a shadow priest while "tanking" two of said minibosses and died to them, getting the achievement.

Kommentar von ConstableGoody

Lava Strike is the smoky comets that fall from the sky.
Plenty of tips on this page but none of what to actually look for visually.

Kommentar von DarkShade

As a lvl 100 with good dps (tested with monking druid 685 ilvl) is pretty easy.

Just go and nuke the dragon, it will never cast a lava strike and do every zone achievements at once.

Kommentar von bramleybj

AS of WOD- Run in and Kill the Dragon Sarthion and you will get every achievement.
