For this achievement you need a little bit of RNG placement as well as a 2nd person. Namely you need all 3 buffs active on you in order to obtain the achievement. The person who gets the Storm Power buff will be able to give the necessary buff to a player close to them, who will then need to stand in the vicinity of the other 2 buffs.

This achievement is sadly not solo-able. You need a 2nd player.

We were two people, a lvl 120 hunter and a 110 rogue, naked except for weapon. We started by freeing the frozen npcs to begin the encounter. Then we just ran around and made sure to get hit by everything. When you get the Storm Power buff, you just run into the moonlight and close to the fire. There are plenty of moonlight and fire and they can spawn on top of each other, so finding the right spots is not hard. The Storm Power last for 30 seconds, but thats plenty of time anyway.

You also get the achievement when you get all the buffs, so just wait until you get the right buffs.

I would like to recommend that everyone reads the comments from both the Ulduar (10) and Ulduar (25) achieve categories.

I am writing this so that the second player is going for this achieve.

Reading those topics will give you will give the details about the the three types of npcs that are frozen. The player going for the achieve needs to make sure the first player has the buff from the elemental, before they go running around getting the other buffs.

There are nine npcs that are frozen, 3 of each kind. The frozen npcs all tend to unfreeze at once the first one is unfrozen.

Short story:
YOU MUST have two people. One player gets the storm power buff and passes it to the second player. THIS IS THE ONLY way it works.
It can not be soloed.
I do not believe those people who are super quick with their alts. Not everyone can do that.

Once the second person has caught the buff off the first player, they have to go through the fire and the lightening set up by the other frozen npcsn 30 secs or less. If it fails, the second person must regain the first buff from the first player, and try again.

We did this three or four times before the RNG worked for us.

If you fail at this encounter, you must die. Its OK because Hodir can kill all players (at a high-level of SL and below) if they let themselves be struck by him, and the ice balls fall on them, and eventually be frozen. Dying causes a reset.

I do not know it you can do two players can accomplish this in one encounter. I doubt it.
We were not able to it. I got the first time, and my buddy got it in a second run.

All the comments for this (including the comments from the old 10/25 man version) achieve leave out critical parts on how to do this. So here's a proper explanation:

This cannot be done solo. You need a minimum of 2 people to do this. Do not try to cheese this by using pets. The boss will insta-despawn if you do.

There's 3 buffs you need. Their names are irrelevant. All you need to know is 1 is from a druid npc. 1 is from a mage npc. And 1 is from a shaman npc. The npc's are those mobs encased in ice in front of the boss. There's at least 2 of each type of mob. It is these mobs that will give you the buffs you need. The boss is merely an annoyance that serves no purpose for this achieve.

Note: The person getting this achieve will be the one who has boss aggro. So that means whoever does not have aggro will not be getting the achieve unless you can taunt swap or damage the boss enough so as to force him to switch players. The reason for this is because whoever aggros the boss needs to keep the boss away from the npcs as much as possible as otherwise the boss will kill the npc's. Whilst the npc's do respawn, the shaman npc's don't. So if you kill all the shaman npc's and you haven't popped the achieve, then you need to die to reset. Dieing is pretty easy. Just get hit by his long freeze cast and it will kill you regardless of what level you are.

Shaman buff
This is any of the npc's that have a shield and mace. It is the buff from the shaman that forces you to have 2 people to do it since the buff from the shaman is not given to you directly from the npc itself. Rather the shaman will put an electrical spell effect on whoever aggros the shaman. You then have to run over to your partner. When you get close to your fellow player, it will arc a lightning bolt between you both. It is this process that actually gives the other player the shaman buff.

Mage buff
This is any of the npc's that has a staff for a weapon. Just break any of them free of the ice and keep them alive by ensuring the boss is not near them. Eventually they will drop a little bonfire on the ground. It is these bonfires that, when you get next to, will give the buff you need from the mage.

Druid buff
This is any of the npc's that look like a boomkin. They work in the same way the mages do. Just free a couple and keep them alive by keeping the boss away from them. If they stay alive long enough, they'll eventually drop moon beams/shafts of light around the boss area. It is these shafts of light you need to walk into to get the buff you need from them.

Process
1. Whoever is getting the achieve needs to aggro the boss.
2. The other player then frees a couple druids and mages. Avoid the shaman for now.
3. Once you start seeing the bonfires and moonbeams appear, that is your cue to start free some shaman to get the electrical affect.
4. Once the player that has been freeing the npc's has the electrical affect, they then run to the player who has boss aggro to give the shaman buff to that player.
5. Ideally at this point, the player that doesn't have boss aggro, will taunt or damage the boss such that they gain boss aggro thus freeing up the other player that now has the shaman buff.
6. The player that now has the shaman buff can now run around collecting the other 2 buffs to pop the achieve.

If there are still shaman alive to give out the shaman buff, the player that got the achieve can now get the electrical affect to pass it onto the other player who has boss aggro so they can get their achieve. Alternatively if you are fast enough, the player who has boss aggro can just run around with the boss chasing after them since by then it won't matter if the other npc's die since they would have already dropped the bonfires and moonbeams/shafts of light.

Remember: You must keep boss aggro controlled at all times. If the boss starts running around the room due to the npc's pulling aggro off you, you will very quickly fail the achieve due to the boss killing the npc's. Since this achieve can take a while, you will also need to know how to avoid getting encased in ice. It's a 5min cc that will kill you regardless of your level. To avoid it, you have to wait for the boss to start his long freeze cast. At this point a large white circle/mound of snow will appear on the ground. You must get onto that circle. The falling ice will try to knock you out of it, so make sure to run back in before he gets his cast off or you will get trapped by the ice. However if you're actually trying to reset the boss, then do not get into the circle since you will want to be encased in the ice and die.

You CAN "solo" this using ALTS and ALT+F4. I just did this with my Level 60 DK & Priest.

1: Form an Ulduar group with an ALT using Group Finder (instructions at the bottom)

2: Clear to Hodir, switch toons with ALT F4

3: Run your ALT to Hodir, switch back

4: Single target the iceblocked NPCs to free them ALL as fast as possible and give the boss a taunt (or melee swing, just be careful at 70) to make sure he's on you and not killing the NPCs. Mages cast the Toasty Fire, druids cast the Starlight, and shaman cast the Storm Cloud. I freed them all because there is a higher chance a moonlight beam will be close enough to a campfire.

5: Pay attention and see whether you or your ALT gets the storm cloud.

-A: If YOU have the storm cloud: Stack on your ALT, Alt+F4, switch toons, then stand in a moonlight beam near a campfire.

-B: If your ALT gets the Storm cloud: Stack on your ALT and then go stand in a moonlight beam near a campfire. No need to swap.

You do not have to kill the boss to get the achievement, as soon as you have all 3 buffs simultaneously on a toon that received Storm Cloud it will complete. You'll know if you need to reset the boss pretty quickly, so it's not bad at all. This took me 2 tries. The first try I accidentally splashed the boss with damage and he died. There is definitely some RNG involved as to whether you'll have a campfire close enough to a beam, but if you free them all and don't let them die, you're more than likely to succeed.

Side note: It is important to use ALT F4 to switch toons, even before combat. Not only is it faster, it keeps your other toon logged in for enough time for both characters to be in game at the same time and spread the buff.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Here is how you form a group with your ALT using group finder:

1: Fly 2 of your toons out the instance.
2: Set instance to normal 25m, open Group Finder, start a premade group for Ulduar.
3: Alt-F4, Switch to ALT, apply for the group.
4: Alt-F4, Switch to MAIN, go to group finder and you'll see their application. Invite.
5: Alt-F4, Switch to ALT, accept the invite.
6: Alt-F4, Switch to MAIN, enter the instance.
7. Alt-F4, Switch to ALT, enter the instance.
8. Confirm that your main is standing right next to you inside the instance.

Side note: I've seen issues arise with this process if the person who forms the group finder group is logged out too long and loses leadership of the group, that could lead to separate raid IDs. This is why I fly both toons out there before starting the group.

Side note#2: If switching toons takes too long, try disabling some addons and turning your graphics down. It shouldn't matter much on this encounter, but that 15-20 seconds can help.
