Simply stay on the Stairs and kill the Mobs. There will be NO more adds spawn after Novos shield brakes down and you engage him. So you dont need to pay attention to that anymore.

Advice for tanks: Pay attention to the elite Risen Shadowcasters that come from behind so you can aggro while they run up to your group.
Achievement was pretty easy to do, considering it is the perfect strategy to clear. If you tank the adds downstairs, by the time the first group of adds gets downstairs, 1 or 2 more groups are already on their way down.

Kommentar von GraveDiggerX

This achievement is very easy.

Just have at least 1 DPS stay on the stairs at all times to kill the adds. The tank and another DPS should stay on the floor and take the elites. The healer can do whatever. I had no trouble having to run around to heal both parties.

VERY easy.

PS - No more adds will spawn after Novos breaks free.

perhaps the easiest Heroic Achievement.

The Handlers will run right up into your group on the stairs, and if you have any AoE at all, this achievement will be in the bag.

Kommentar von clavarnway

This would be semi-difficult if the adds ignored threat and went straight for Novos. They don't however, just have your tank whack each mob once and you are set - they don't hit very hard. Even clothies can solo the regular adds - the big elites need to be tanked, however.

Easy to do as a dk. Just sit on the stairs and kill adds as they come down, Death and decay helps a lot with holding them all to you, and the elites are easy enough to solo, 15k-20k hp from memory?

As a destro lock i stood in the middle of the stairs and kept rain of fire up was no problem at all.

Kommentar von kemikalkadet

Real easy, this one. We had our tank, healer and a good single target DPS stay at the bottom of the stairs and pick up the single adds that spawn at the bottom. The two best AoE DPS we have we get to stand on the stairs and just nuke everything down.

If you get the tank to move the single adds to the bottom of the stairs, it's easy for him and the single target DPS to spot and stray undeads that come down.

When I ran this today (daily heroic...first time in the instance, too), I expected everyone to come down that staircase (since I had my back to it for the first few mobs). I repositioned myself with my back to Novos...and got surprised by a group from behind me.

Despite the chaos that was that fight, I obtained this achievement (along with the other achievements in the instance...barring Trollgore's :\).

A lot of people get this achievement without even knowing it exists. You kinda have to go out of your way not to get it.

I would say that this is the easiest of the Glory of the Hero achievements.

Kommentar von evsadin

Confirmed solo-able in 4.2
Stand on the stairs - kill the spawns - handlers will run up the stairs to you.
When P2 starts, adds no longer spawn - kill the boss.
Only thing that may hurt is a shadow dot the boss does as an early attack.

Kommentar von MasterGaming101

Perhaps the easiest of the set? On my mage, being new, i was all "KILL ANYTHING THAT MOVES" (yes that apparently sufficed me to lvl 80) so when i saw the zombies go down the stairs i simply told the group "Hey! i'm gonna go kill the zombies to save the group, you do whatever makes the bubbles go away!" and so i spammed AoEs....eventually they destroyed the shield and we killed the boss, soon as he died, i got "OH! NOVOS!" and i was like... "....wtf.?"

The best achievements are the ones gained by pure accident

Kommentar von Zoyeng

For those soloing this:

The easiest thing to do is tag Novos, then go above the half-way landing on the staircase. Face the top of the staircase and stay to the right-hand side. The mobs moving down the right side move faster, and you have more time to lob a knife (or whatever you need to do to aggro) at the ones moving at a slower pace down the left side of the stairs. You'll automatically aggro the faster mobs, and be able to pull the slower ones, if they manage to get past you.

There will be some mobs coming up from the floor, too, but those don't count for this achievement. Track the achievement, and if the letters turn red, you know you've missed a mob and can reset the instance to try again. It's not hard to do, but it can be initially frustrating if you don't know what to look for.

Soloed as iLVL 508 Fury Warrior. Patch 5.3. 8/3/2013

Kommentar von plebius

This is actually fairly doable solo as ranged or melee:- I stood on the stairs and whacked the adds, then when the boss was attackable - about halfway through the fight - no more adds come, so you can just attack the boss as soon as his shields down. This seemed to be when the last Crystal Handler turned up - the dudes in the purple dresses who come up the stairs from behind you - so be sure to give them a taste of pain first.

Easy as pie, and as a level 90 the adds die in one hit.

Kommentar von ZeeStorm

If you can kill him in 1 hit (as a warlock you can, and I suspect other classes), I've confirmed that you do still get the achievement.. however the encounter breaks, you will not be able to loot him and adds will continue to spawn until you leave the instance.. at least you will get the achievement (if that's all you're going for) :)

Kommentar von jordanmchavez

For soloing:

Neither the undead adds from the top of the stairs nor the Crystal Handlers from the sides are allowed to get close to him. The undead run towards the boss, while the Crystal Handlers run to the player. Stand at the top of the stairs and intercept all undead as they spawn. The Crystal Handlers ("bolster my defenses, hurry curse you!") will run directly to you, and if you are at the top of the stairs then they will not get close enough to the boss to fail the achievement. If you stand too low on the stairs, then the Crystal Handlers will run near the boss on their way to you, so stand all the way at the top.

Track the achievement. Once you've killed four of the Crystal Handlers and phase 2 begins and the achievement tracking letters are white (not red), then you're home free.

As of Warlords of Draenor, if you're a level 100, you can one-shot him with a high damage spell (Shield Slam worked for me as a Warrior) which will give you the achievement. However, I guess Blizzard never designed the boss to be one-shotted, so the encounter will keep going and you will have adds spawn and follow you until the end of the dungeon (shouldn't be a problem since they do minimal damage).

Good luck!

Kommentar von ElfoBrasil

as a warrior, i cant kill the boss before. and after kill all mobs, the boss dont die. stay with 1 hp.

EDIT: Finally Blizzard fixed that boss, and I got the archivement for my demon hunter today.
At level 108, just stay at the bottom of the ladder killing zombies coming down. The boss will call for reinforcements that go directly to you. Kill them but pay attention to the ones that come down. After the 4th reinforcement the boss is vulnerable and you can kill him, picking the archivement.

Kommentar von samalea

Easy peasy if you using the Ox Statue as a Brewmaster Monk. Just put in in the stairs and you can take down the Crystal Handlers when they come in, and then kill all others by the statue afterwards.

Kommentar von Potheeeed

1. level 120
2. Hit the boss until he is invulnerable
3. Run top of the stairs and kill mobs that spawn. Handlers will run up the stairs to you.
4. Kill the boss when phase 2 starts.
5. Achievement.

Kommentar von Lepto

I tried to do this five times as a 120 (then 50) DK. I read all the advice. Stayed on top of the stairs. Killed all the ads. No achievement. Five times. Finally, instead of engaging the boss and then heading up the stairs, I got on the stairs without getting close to the boss. I then engaged from afar and the ads started appearing. I killed all the ads (as I had done previously) but this time I got the achievement. Maybe I had stepped on the floor at the start in my earlier attempts? Maybe my DK felt like a dead body on the floor? Not sure but glad I finally got it.
