Beachtet das ihr mind. zu 2 seid!
1ner zieht alle Zombis und der andere tötet die Bose.
Man muss in der Stadt alle Zombis zusammenziehen und diese dann durchs Haus in die Gasse ziehen sodass man Garantiert Ü 100 Zombis hat!
In der Stadt habe Ich meiner Erfahrung nach nie 100 zusammengebracht.

Kommentar von Lichtbinder

So habe ich es hin bekommen:
Level 110 Arkan Magier

Ganz normal bis zum Anfang gespielt und dann zwischen jeder erscheinenden Pat Gruppe alle Zombies aus dem Respawn zusammen gezogen. Die Pat Gruppen habe ich mit Auto-Hits (Whitehits) einzeln umknüppeln müssen.

Für Bosse bin ich mit zwei-mal Flimmern zum Boss geflitzt um Abstand zu der Zombiehorde zu haben und habe dann einmal Arkanbeschuss auf den Boss geschossen.

Nach jeder Pat-Gruppe den Zombie Respawn abgreifen und nach jedem Boss ebenso den Zombie Respawn abgreifen.

Wenn man dann die 10/10 Pat weg hat, kann man gemütlich warten (so ca. 2 Minuten) bis alle Zombies wieder bei einem sind und sie dann mit einer Arkanen Explosion gleichzeitig umhauen.

Das dürfte zu zweit einfacher sein, so dass einer Zombies pullt und der andere macht Pat-Gruppen und Bosse.

Kommentar von bestefreunde

Bin als Jäger unterwegs. Das Pet hab ich auf defensiv gestellt, sonst klappt es nicht mit dem Erfolg.

Erst die ersten 3 Bosse legen, dann zurück zu den Toren der Stadt. Von dort an alle Zombies anrempeln und mitschleifen bis zum Ende der Stadt. Die folgen einen sogar durchs Haus. Warten bis sich alle versammelt haben und dann killen. Der Erfolg kam prompt.

Kommentar von Luckerzz

Wenn du wie ich den Fehler gemacht hast, dass du Arthas aktivierst und alle Zombies ins Haus ziehst - dann wird er sie töten & buggt rum und startet sein event nicht. dann machte ich den Fehler, dass ich ihn in der langen Gasse aktiviert habe. Also fing er an, Zombies zu töten, starb aber dabei. Es gab jetzt zu wenig Zombies für den Erfolg. also ging ich raus und wieder rein. weil der Endboss noch am leben war, wurde die Gasse auf genau 100 Zombies zurückgesetzt. dann ging ich langsam durch alle und aoe'te sie weg. Ding, das ist es

edit: gerade gesehen dass die Zombies immer wieder in der Gasse respawnen solange man Arthas nicht aktiviert für den Weg zum Endboss

The zombies are level 78-80 non-elite, I'm guess you just round a ton of them up and have a few locks go seed crazy or have a few mages to nuts :)

Either way, it sounds hard as hell.

Kommentar von 230256

The hard part here is that there arent 100 zombis at one place. Approximatly 15 of them at one area. But you can have all members of the Group placed in a different area of Stratholme and everyone is killing his pack at a Time.

Like mentioned above the Zombies have 580-650 health and can be easily solod.

Kommentar von rodmin

I would suggest a pala tank toget all the adds with just retribution aura on to keep the ads on him. He can use Lay on hands on him in case he gets low on health. Or even a bubble and heal. Then when at least 100 are reunited...

HOLY WRATH!

All said, i guess.

Kommentar von nothingsjim

Is this basically the Wotlk version of leeroy http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?achievement=2188? I mean, both involve killing loads of non-elite adds in short time

Kommentar von 27608

Problem is, it's really difficult finding 100. Tried a few things, they don't seem to respawn untill you've killed them and it doesn't seem like there's more than a good ~50 of them in the initial room.

Another option is the last room before malganis, but there are alot of elites so not sure how to get that done either.

Kommentar von Chronalis

Prot paladin, devo aura, sacred shield on himself (an average geared 80 casting this shield on himself will absorb aroun 1.3K damage due to scaling). Round up as many adds as possible, Holy Wrath. Achievement Done, and another towards your "Glory of the Raider" proto-drake.

Also, make sure NONE of the DPS attack any, and that the healer doesn't heal the paladin, as this will cause him to get aggro. Just remember, the zombies do respawn, so if it doesn't happen the first time, just retry.

Kommentar von 255102

In the first area there is Exactly 85 Zombies and they do not respawn intill you kill them, also to add to that, you will not see any respawns intill 30secs, so you have 30sec to kill 15 zombies and from my testing even if u have all 5 party members spilt into the sections, 15 zombies do not spawn in time for you to kill them.

Thus this brings me to the conclusion that it can only be done in the 2nd Zombie area, I'm not exactly sure how you would do this will all the elites.

Any update if someone gets it done in the 2nd area would be nice.

Kommentar von 256053

Haven't tried it (plan to when servers come back up) but, could this be done by defeating third boss, have your tank go out and pick up the 85 Zombies the above poster mentioned, when he is on his way back, have arthas open the passage and then go through the first few packs of zombies there (including the elites) use your aoe once you have atleast 15 more, and then if you wipe from all the elites you wipe, but achievment should be done. Like I said I havent tried this, and I don't even know if the zombies in the first area are available when you go to the 2nd Zombie area (In which case this post is a piece of trash!).

Kommentar von 249391

as far as i know, the zombies don't respawn (they don't despawn either though) after the 2nd boss is killed.
so we kited the 2nd boss into the town hall, waited for all the zombies outside to respawn and then killed him. after that, we continued as usual until the 3rd boss was down.
then, we sent a holy paladin back, to round up all the zombies in the first part (i did not count, but 85 seems about right), bring them to the townhall's "secret" exit, had our prot paladin pull some more in front and voilá, achievement done, and not even dead :)

Kommentar von 259868

We managed to complete this today with a fair few test wipes :P

We killed the first 2 bosses, but kited the 2nd boss over to the town hall and dps'd him there. Arthas does not have to be spoken to, he will auto run over to the hall. After the 2nd boss is dead, the adds will respawn for one last time.
We then killed the 3rd boss and opened up the passage into the back.

Using a DK tank, myself {boomkin} and a feral druid then went back with the tank to round up everything in the first zone, which amassed to around 75 zombies. They run really slowly so there shouldnt'd be any problem with the tank tanking any damage. Do NOT heal the tank during this pull as youll generate aggro and have way too many zombies on you. Our tank then ran through the town hall and into the 2nd zone, at which point we started to aoe the zombies as they came through.

Then it's just a case of pulling the remaining few zombies from the packs in the 2nd zone, and there you go! It doesnt matter about the elites in the 2nd zone, as long as you manage to tag all the zombies you need {we did wipe at this point as we ended up pulling 6 or so elites.}

Kommentar von Berklar

NOTE:

When you do this Achievement there will be a timer wich starts to count down when you kill the first zombie so you have plenty of time to gather zombies and finish them off later.

Thought this could be useful to know

TIPS/FACTS FOR ANY GROUP COMP

§ There are ~85 Zombies in the entire street in the beginning.

§ After clearing the building / 3rd boss there are more zombies on another street that you end up at. But, there are packs of Elites mixed in down the street.

§ After the 2nd boss DIES the zombies in the beginning (before you enter into the inn) will stop respawning.
º This boss is named Salramm the Fleshcrafter.

§ In order to have all of these zombies up you have to take the 2nd boss INTO the inn at the end of the street, nuke all the zombies that have followed, then hold off on killing him until all the zombies have respawned.
º We waited ~2 minutes until we saw a lot on the mini-map just before the inn, which was about 15.

§ Everyone in the group will get credit for a zombie kill REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY ARE INSIDE THE INSTANCE.

§ The timer starts after the first zombie is killed, 100 must be killed in that countdown. Yes, if you wait the minute out it will restart on the next one killed.
º If you □Track the achievement (Dungeons & Raids --> Lich King Heroic) you can see the timer and kill count.

§ It is a good idea to have 2 people killing in the first street and the rest ready to kill 20+ on the second street.

Now here's is how my group did it...

OUR GROUP: 2x HUNTER - LOCK - PALLY (Tank) - SHAMAN

Steps:
1. Kill 1st boss
2. Drag the 2nd boss into the inn, wait for zombies you just killed to respawn
3. Kill 2nd boss (zombies don't respawn now)
4. Wait for slow-ass Arthas to get to the Inn
5. Clear the inn with Arthas, including the 3rd boss
6. Setup & kill ZOMBIES

º Step 6 really depends on who the 2 people clearing the first street are. Me (a hunter) and the other one ran back to the small passageway in the middle of the street because no zombies spawn there and you can stay out of aggro range.
From there we each took control of our pets (which had Sprint) and rounded up a side, then brought all the zombies to us at the same time and nuked ~88 of them while the rest of our group at the other end (past the 3rd boss) cleared up the rest in about 10 seconds.

ZOMBIEFEEEEEEEEEEST!

Kommentar von 414Lokken

Warriors must have to remove their shield or risk damaging the zombies to death while rounding up the first area?

Kommentar von 268307

Followed this strategy, got it on first try.

Couple things to note.

Don't gather zombies with a Prot Warrior (Damage Shield), Ret Aura, Thorns or any damage reflecting abilities.
Zombies run slow, they are very easy to gather.

Kommentar von Returner99

Really easy - and fun - achievement.

Just did it on my last Culling of Stratholme run. We were originally going for the timed event, but for some reason the other guys(who were all in the same guild) thought it'd be fun to bring two healers along.

I didn't realise this till we had entered, but at the fourth wave I realised there was no chance we'd get to the Infinite Corruptor in time, so I simply told them we'd be doing this instead.

When we got to the second boss, we had "horrible" luck, as he spawned all the way over by the fountain. As the Protection Paladin, I simply threw an Avenger's Shield at him and ran towards the townhall. It's really easy to do the pulling, don't feel intimidated if he spawns far away from it.

The only times he would stop up was to summon Ghouls, or when he got in LoS of me(about 35-45 range on his shadowbolt I think).

When we got him inside of the townhall, we had to beat down 10 ghouls before waiting for the mobs to respawn.

After the boss, we waited for Arthas and killed the third boss, with the timer running out at the third pack.

----

With the three first bosses cleared, we had Arthas open the hidden door while I ran back and picked up all of the mobs.
I just kept a Sacred Shield on myself to reduce the damage output, but it's really not needed. The mobs only hit for about ~100 each, and are very slow.

When I had reached the fountain I got all of them on me - and running quite far behind me. I simply popped Divine Shield to avoid any unlucky hits while running through them. When the shield ran out I was out of range from them, and safely on my way back to the townhall.

We won't through the passage and waited for about 40 seconds before the mobs finally arrived. I pulled two packs of the zombies in the back alley and threw Holy Wrath - Bam, achievement done.

---

I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you aren't interested in the timed event.

Kommentar von 281600

I am going to repeat some facts mentioned above just to have everything in one post.

a. Zombies are found in two different areas
b. Zombies in the first area (where two first bosses spawn) are not enough for the achievement
c. Zombies in the second area are mixed with elites and are not so easy to gather and kill
d. Zombies in the first area stop respawning after the death of the second boss
e. Timer for the achievement starts after one zombie is killed, so it is best to gather as much zombies as possible and AoE them down.

Group set-up:
Death Knight tank - very good for gathering zombies in the first area and AoE-ing them down without any help

The rest of the group can consist just about any classes, but having someone able to tank a bit would make the second team survive their mission. If you don't have an off-tank, second team just has to zerg in and kill around 30 zombies, sacrificing themselves. Achievement is counted even after death.

And we did this as following:

1. Killed the 1st boss

2. Dragged the 2nd boss to inside the inn, kill it there

3. Waited for slow Arthas to appear, talked to him and started the next sequence, leading to the fight with the 3rd boss

4. Four people went to the exit to the next area (where zombies are mixed with elites), I (tanking DK) went to the first area and gathered all the zombies around. They are very slow and easily kitable, but still managed to hit me several times, I just used a pot to heal myself. After gathering all of the zombies in the first are, I used Death and Decay. Two of those was enough to kill all the zombies. Right after using it the first time, I told the second team to start killing zombies in their area.

It was my third attempt overall, but my first serious attempt (two other attempts failed mainly cause not everyone in the group was eager to do the achievement), so I would say it is one of the easiest ones.

Kommentar von 291814

actually, if you're a prot warrior take off your shield temporarily so you dont accidentally kill them with your passive =P

Kommentar von 247000

that' what we did and we got it on first try.

Do the instance normally until 2nd boss.
Kill 2nb boss in the inn slowly so all the 85 previous undeads have time to respawn.
Help Arthas kill the Infinite dragonflight and the 3rn boss.
Send the tank grab all the 85 undeads in the previous streets (whith no ''thorn-type'' auras activated)
Kill those 85 undeads + 15 undeads from the next part of the instance.

Kommentar von INvShika

The hardest part about this achievement is finding a group that DOESN'T want the bronze drake.

Kommentar von 186899

Also, don't worry when Arthas takes a while to show up after kiting the boss into the Town Hall. I went with an antsy group who didn't quite want to do the achievement, and they got more antsy as he took an eternity to show up. They thought I broke him :( But be patient, he will show!

Kommentar von 98768

We just did it easily.

Group Makeup:
Holy Pally
Ret Pally
DK (Tank)
Shadow Priest (Me)
Hunter

We did as several others suggested, you clear to the second boss and pull him into the inn.
Wait till the zombies outside respawn and then kill him.
Clear to the gauntlet out back, and split up.

It was myself(priest) and the ret pally in back, with the others in front.
They pulled as much as they could in front, then yelled for us to go in back.
The pally bubbled me and I ran through spamming holy nova as they killed everything in front.
We got the achievement right as the bubble wore off and I died.

Having two pallies in the group makes it 100x easier.

Also, I'm not sure where people get that there's 85 zombies in the front half of the instance, but we counted about 53 without respawns.
We had to clear a pretty decient section of the back (the highest concentration in the zone) to get to 100.

Kommentar von 150494

Managed to do this today even after a bugger up on my part as i forgot to explain everything clearly.

We tried to follow the Kite boss to in strategy then kill 3rd boss and have 2 dps run back, failed that tho as i forgot to mention you can be anywhere in the instance and get the kills.

Then noticed that the zombies in second area respawn so i ran back to the first area where some zombies still were while they ran the second area and killed as many as they could. There was 101 zombies left in total so we only just managed it.

Dont give up if you fail! Always look for an alternative route!

Kommentar von 257474

Did this tonight, works perfect with a resto shaman kiting with Earthbind totem and Stoneclaw totem

Kommentar von Dharc

We did the same strategy with kiting boss 2 to the inn.

But after boss 3, we just had our paladin tank, collect all the zombies from the old streets, to the new street. We AoE'ed em down, and continued killing in the new street. We saw no need to split up the group.

Kommentar von 308807

We just did this achiev yesterday. What surprised me was that tank brought us from 1st street 91 zombies, what is quite strange, since on 1st street should be ~ 85 zombies and i nuked accidentaly 3 while talking with Arthas. I guess new patch rised number of zombies on first instance part.

Kommentar von 328239

So my group, by sheer stupidity on our part, found a little bit smarter of a way to do this. (Albeit sorta gonna waste your time if you plan to get the drake as well.)

We attempted to follow what Grummet said to do. We kited the 2nd boss into the Inn, waited for the zombies outside of the door ro respawn, and then killed him. We continued on to the third boss, killed him.

Now this is where we switched it up. Instead of one person going back - GET NAKED! Take all of your gear off and just run in and everyone die, release, and run back.

Upon running back, all of the zombies at the front should have respawned BEFORE the 2nd boss was downed. You should have roughly 60-85 zombies in the starting area.

Now, have your tank (Our tank happened to be a pally tank, which is most desireable) pull from the left all the way to the ally after the third boss. Sit and wait for the zombies to reach you. Once they do - Kill them and then kill the rest you need in the ally.

We got the Achievement in less than 10 seconds. :]

Nekoattack - Pally Tank

Kommentar von 314568

After you had killed the second boss inside the Inn, WAIT FOR ARTHAS! He makes some times to come to the Inn, don't go search for him, because all the zombies you will pull will not respawn and then the achievement will be impossibulz. And also, when your tank will pull the zombies, make sure that
-ALL PETS are in passive mod
-Thorns, ret aura, and damage shield has been removed
-nobody kill even 1 zombie at the right start pulling
because if you start too soon the chrono, you have chance to dont be able to make it.

We pulled all the zombies and then we grab them until we reached second floor inside the Inn where the 3rd boss is to AOE them. You'll get around 85 zombies dead and the last thing you had to do is to kill the last 15 (and maybe an elite ghoul) zombies in the hall on the way to Malganis.

Kommentar von 283332

i did it with this group: (my group for most heroic acheivment runs)
me (ele shaman)
survival hunter
unholy dk (tank)
holy priest
fury warrior

the 2nd boss spwaned near the inn which was a + for us in that we didnt have to kite it and didnt have to wait as long to get the zombies.
did 2nd boss slowly (adding an extra 40sec)
cleared inn with arthas
we had the hunter take controll of his pet and have it run around collecting zombies in the town while the rest of us burned the 3rd boss (used heroism and all other CDs)
once he collected as many zombies as possible (~60). once he got the zombies into the inn we counted to 10 and started on the elite packs. by the time we were on the 2nd pack the 60+ zombies the pet pulled arrived and we just AoEd them all down.
we managed to finish the instance fast enough to down the drake boss and get the mount.! (we ended up with <20sec)
we never intended on making the timer but we got lucky with the 1st 2 bosses and that the 2nd boss spawned infront of the inn. Don't expect to beable to get both this and the drake (but it is possible, but really hard)

we gave it to the hunter for coming up with the strat for zombiefest.

Kommentar von Xazire

Mage
Spriest
Prot pala
Holy Priest
Warlock

Killed 1st and 2nd boss, in the inn after all zombies have respawned.
Waited for Arthas (gotta be patient, took like forever for him to come after 2nd boss died).
Killed 3rd boss and had pala tank DI one of us, then run in and gather all the zombies from start area, and then run back to us with them on his tail. Here is where we failed abit, pala grabbed a pack, but didnt really tank it, so we had the 2 priests and me warlock die shortly after, before all the zombies from the first area even got to us :/
Pala and mage however could finish all off, and we were lucky enough to have gathered enough zombies :)

Kommentar von 303889

Did this very similar to other comments above, but with a bit of a twist: We dragged the second boss into the inn, waited for Arthas (this took a while), then we cleared the inn. But to ease the pull, we had out hunter drop group and switch over to his paladin, and then come to the instance and gather up all the mobs. We all waited in the building right before the gauntlet, and when he got into the room he bubbled the priest in our group and they both began spam healing to keep the pally up while the zombies all made it in. Then me (warlock) and a mage AoE'd the mobs down, and then the pally and the tank ran into the gauntlet and pulled like crazy while we AoE'd the rest of the zombies down. I don't know exactly how many groups we pulled (it was kind of hectic) but we were able to get the achievement and still survive the pull.

Requires a bit of planning and decent group make up, but very doable.

Kommentar von Lordship

Another way of doing it to get both achievements is the following:

Business as usual until Salramm, who you pull inside the inn and kill slowly to give the zombies time to respawn. Then you continue, kill the third boss and tell Arthas to open the door. Then you do the gauntlet without talking to Arthas first (so Arthas stays at the beginning of the gauntlet) and kill the Infinite Corruptor. Then get naked and wipe on the freshly respawned mobs on the gauntlet (if they haven't respawned yet, don't worry, they will respawn, at least at the time of this writing ). Run back into the instance, gather all the zombies in the first part of the instance (no damage shields, no healing), go through the inn and kill the ~80 zombies from the first half and 20 zombies from the gauntlets with mixed-in elites. Then talk to Arthas, do the gauntlet again and kill Mal'ganis.

You save time to gather the zombies after the third boss, so you have a decent chance (with ok gear or luck with Salramm's spawn point) of beating the timer. Then you can do the Zombiefest afterwards. As the hardest part of the achievement is finding people who are willing to do it when it means passing on the drake, this is a viable alternative which just costs you around 2-3 minutes. Everyone gets a badge, the drake is up for rolls and you still have a good chance for the achievement.

Please rate up if this worked for you.

Kommentar von KarlWF

To any priests thinking about healing for this achievement, do NOT fade when gathering up the zombies. You will disconnect, as the server will be flooded with spam trying to handle reducing your aggro from so many targets.

While doing this achievement today, I faded twice and DCed twice, and managed to take one of my party members out with me.

Kommentar von synaethas

We killed the 2nd boss before I read these comments. There wont be much loss if you kill the 2nd boss outside the inn. We killed 3rd boss with Arthas and then opened the secret gate. Then I started to gather all the zombies on the previous street (guess there were about 60-70 of them) and kited them to the other street. I'm DK tank and all I was doing is runetapping (have the glyph). There were elites but we still went into them and killed our 100 zombies, then wiped ofc :) it was still fun..

Kommentar von 55480

I did this today, and ended up with our healer getting DC and we got 97 .... Tough #$%^ :p
But the Zombies respawned even though 2nd boss was down.

Kommentar von 266777

Completed this last night with a host of problems.

Started with Resto Shaman, Combat Rogue (me), Aff Warlock, Frost and Unholy DK.

I explained the tactics to everyone beforehand, made sure they understood, and they said they did. So i thought ok we are gonna do this - when the first wave of mobs came, the tank went looking for the 2nd boss - yes the 2nd boss after the first wave. Well needless to say we wiped, and the tank then just left group for whatever reason.

We then managed to get a prot paladin and I explained the tacs again - he said he understood and we proceeded to kill the waves. After the first boss was down, the unholy DK had to leave because of whatever reason so we grabbed a hunter who also wanted to do this achiev.

We killed the waves of mobs, then dragged the 2nd boss into the house while we waited for the zombies to respawn. After about 2 mins or so we then nuked down the boss, talked to arthas and proceeded the house event.

Before the 3rd boss, on the last pack of mobs, our tank lost aggro and they went and oneshotted the healer and then came to kill us all. So i thought oh @#$% we cant do this achiev now - great.

Then our Warlock came up with the most fantastic idea ever - he proceeded to Soulstone himself, got out his voidwalker to get the bubble, and me, the warlock and the hunter ran through the zombies to get to the house. As we reached the house, I vanished, the hunter feigned death and the warlock then died. He resurrected himself, and set up a summoning stone to summon our shaman and paladin :D

Managed to kill the 3rd boss without any wipes this time, then the tank annd healer ran back outside gathered all the zombies and as they came through we were clearing some elites on the street after the house - one http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=51723 from me and 100 zombies went down instantly.

We spent 2 hours in there trying to do this and needless to say it was extremely fun and worthwhile :D

Kommentar von Lausten

I did this today. We had 2 Paladins, 1 tanking, one healing, A Death Knight, A Rogue and me as a Mage.
We got unlucky with the second boss spawning near the front entrance, so we had to kite him all the way to the Inn.. I died when we were doing so, we desided that I should stay there until we had killed 3th boss. We got access to the other side through the secret passage, and the 2 Paladins and the Rogue waited for the Death Knight to get ready at the inn.

I released and I waited at the front entrance to join the Death Knight who was running from the inn to the front game gathering all the risen undeads on his way..

He had a 15 second lead before the others at the other side of the inn started to kill zombies.
As soon as I saw him I joined him, we gathered all the zombies in one place, then I used Arcane Explosion, yeah it looked cool with nearly 90 mobs dying at the same time.. :)

And thada ding we had the Achivement done.

Kommentar von 370237

You don't need to pull the second boss into the building, or even kill any bosses at all.

The zombies respawn in under a minute. Pull one group to the entrance, kill all but one and have the tank hold him. With just one mob left the tank barely even needs healing. We used one of those caster spiders that stayed some distance away so I don't know if the guards at the entrance will kill the elites.

Wait for everything to respawn. Send one AE person left and one AE person right, and have someone else at the entrance kill the respawn as they show up. Super simple. We had 20 seconds to spare.

Edit: After talking with the people I did this with, you might even be able to do it right at the start when Mal'Ganis spawns but before the first group of elites spawns. Put one person at the end of each hall and ae towards the entrance, with the rest where the first group spawns to kill those. This is untested.

Kommentar von 405574

Just did this earlier today. Per other comments, we had a leisurely 6 minute battle with the Fleshcrafter in the inn. Our group makeup up to killing the third boss was:
Shadow Priest
Enhance Shaman
Boomkin
Resto Shaman
Prot Pally

After that, we had everyone except the paladin switch to their healing specs, making the group makeup look like this:
Resto Shamanx2
Holy Priest
Resto Druid
Prot Pally

The 2 Shamans and I (Priest) went around the first part of the instance rounding up zombies, spamming earth shield and prayer of mending, dragging the zombies back. Both shammans disconnected at the inn door, so we called out in vent to just kill the zombies. Holy nova to kill the 85 zombies in the front, and out in the alley the pally grabbed a bunch of zombies to finish the achievement.

Both shamans got the achievement, despite being disconnected. You should turn down your graphics if you expect to see ≥80 zombies on your screen.

Kommentar von 337346

PROT WARRIORS: Change specs to something else when you gather up the zombies. I went Arms and kept all of my prot gear on, in Defensive Stance. Damage Shield is no longer a problem, and you are still defense capped, aka daze proof. Keep up Commanding Shout and use Enraged Regen to gain health early (and gain more effective aggro other than proxy), and later on when you have to make a loop around, use Shield Wall. You will drop combat shortly when you get the achievement, so you can easily go back to Prot.

Kommentar von 309635

Did this today first try with a palatank using detect undead.

Killed 1st boss normally

When 2nd boss spawns go into the building where the locals turn into infinite dragon thingies (otherwise known as the inn), hold him there for a min til tank sees that the zombies are repopping, kill boss. Wait for arthas to turn up, takes 1-2 mins.

Kill 3rd boss normally then send pala back through the lanes to gather up all the adds. Make sure all ret aura/passive dmg things off ofc.

Kite them into the 3rd boss's room, aoe.

Run through bookcase, kill couple more adds.

/dance

Kommentar von Millenia

First time we tried this so that resto shaman and holy paladin pulled those 80+ zombies and the tank and 2 dps were supposed to zerg the other side. We ended up 9 short. After that we tried without the gauntlet but we just couldn't get enough zombies. 89 was our record. They did not spawn fast enough. We tried several times in different waves.

So we had to do the gamble with gauntlet again (gamble because the earlier zombies don't respawn at that point and if it fails it's done for the day). This time we just out our DK tank with Earth Shield for the gauntlet to zerg everything he can before he dies. The rest of us ran to the other side and gathered all zombies to our paladin healer. At the gate we aoe'd them down and ran to clear the rest of them. Managed to get the achievement with a couple of extra zombies too. Apparently we could have made it the first time too, but the gauntlet side screwed something up and didn't go in with a full suicide zerg.

Kommentar von Sygrun

Did this today without reading any strats. We cleared the whole beginning area after fighting Salramm (2nd boss) we thought we were screwed, did third boss and opened the bookcase.

Decided to zerg the last alleyway/gauntlet all in one go to see how many we'd get, there were exactly 100 there and we got the achievement after some tries (got 99 before timing out twice so we wiped to try again). So even if you don't follow the basic strat or you botch up and kill all the zombies that don't respawn, you can still do this achievement.

We had everyone put on pvp gear in case they snagged aggro while the priest holy nova'd so she could slightly heal and dps w/o grabbing aggro and I just grabbed everything going full run speed as the tank. It was rough to to handle the elites at the end after we got the achievement, but you definitely can stay alive and kill all those elites in the one pull. (Don't activate Arthas before going or he might kill a zombie too soon and start your timer before you're really ready)

Kommentar von KuniZyrekai

Tried this today and it wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it'd be. We used the usual strategy of kiting second boss to the inn, wait for repops, clear the dragons and third boss. But instead of having the tank go out and gather them up, I changed to my frost farming spec. Between ice armour, ice barrier/shattered barrier, blink, and nitro boosts, I gathered them all and got back to the rest of the group with only minimal damage to myself.

So if you've got a new tank who isn't sure they'd survive without their shield (warrior) and heals, a competent frost mage will do the trick.

Kommentar von Interest

I can't believe no one has noticed this, but this achievement could very easily be a reference to the Human Campaign in Warcraft 3 where Arthas has to kill 100 citizens of Stratholme.

(So essentially, we're repeating what happened in that campaign right down to the exact objective. Go figure)

Kommentar von Nenn

Thanks Grummet for your guide how to do it, Worked just perfectly fine! :D

Kommentar von 350481

A slightly easier method of doing this.

The zombies respawn even after the second boss is dead. We cleared out the Inn and then died (errr..you can run back..). Waited for respawns on zombies in the front area. We counted 68 zombies in the front area. Bring them to the gauntlet, and aoe them down. We then ran up the gauntlet a bit (picked up at least an abom and a spider) and aoe'd the last 30.

Maybe not as easy, since we died again. But you don't have to kite the second boss around. Your choice. :)

Good luck!

Kommentar von 82411

My group killed the 3 bosses, kiting the second boss into the inn to let the zombies respawn :)
After that I, a prot paladin, pulled them all using dev. aura and sacred shield. Sacred shield will absorb almost all damage so you won't have to worry about health.

You can pull them through the inn right into the alleyway and pull more zombies. The first group of zombie was ok (the ones around the first zombie elite). We got the achievement this way :)

Kommentar von 425067

An alternative strategy is to gather up the zombies in the gauntlet phase (e.g., after you go through the bookcase door).

Don't talk to Arthas, just go through the gauntlet event single targeting the elites and non-zombie caster mobs. Once you reach the end, just AOE down all of the zombies.

I would suggest using the strategy described by other posters. Our group, however, had to take this approach because we killed the third boss (with the mistaken assumption that the zombies in the town streets would respawn). I only post this strategy to show that there is an alternative way of accomplishing this achievement.

Granted, our group was composed extremely well for this. We had a paladin tank holding onto all of the zombies, slowly progressing through the gauntlet. A warrior tank handled the elites while a shaman healed the group. A mage and hunter (myself) used all of our cc-ing abilities to kite and burn any adds that got away from the warrior. All told, the actual mechanics of this strategy took only about 5 minutes.

Stating the obvious, you need to be relatively well geared as a group to pull this off. Also, you don't know how funny it was seeing our dwarf pally being continuously bitten/chomped/slapped by a hundred zombies.

Kommentar von ClassyHobo

I'm a prot pally and in my group we got the time drake and the achievement in the same run. We were just aiming for the drake and got the achievement by accident. What happened was, in the alley after the third boss we ran threw it pretty quick and somehow Arthas died. So after we downed the boss with the drake we went back to get Arthas and all the zombies had respawned so i just threw on a sacred shield and ran back to Arthas then concencrated and there was the achievement.

Kommentar von 498983

I must say it was amusing as a hunter to have "Track Undead" on and watch the red dots pile out of the secret passage on your minimap, as well as placing your cursor over the piled-up dots and seeing "Risen Zombie" fill up your screen.

Kommentar von IsWindy

Achievement is soloable as a prot paladin (i was ICC 25/toc 25/hc geared).

The regular trash is nothing special, just keep SS and holy shield up , use judgement of light to heal yourself up (optional: kill casters first). You should not take much if any damage , and keeping more of them alive longer so you can get mana from blocks is nice.

All of the boss fights will take upwards of 5min because you can't use all your damage abilities due to mana problems. Maintain holy shield and sacred shield on yourself at all times and pay attention to what damage you're taking and what passive healing is needed to heal it (seal,judge) . Runic mana potions should be used in conjunction with either avenging wrath (for more damage) or with the use of bubble to heal yourself(cancel your divine plea beforehand) , though i used bubble offensively (you take no damage and receive passive healing from seals while it's up)

On the first boss judgement of light can keep you at max health until he gets to about 3 stacks of his enrage buff. After that you can use seal of light to compensate. Use LoH if needed.

At second boss quickly nuke down the second summoned add after he detonates the first. The damage this boss does depends on how often he casts his spells. He can be a pushoff or a complete pain( i died once due to him being overzealous :P) Use LoH if available
Note: if the boss spawns on the left side of the instance, you'll make your job much easier if you "kite" him straight from the pull to the area that leads to the 3rd boss. This is because zombies do not respawn after this guy dies.

The third boss isn't any serious threat damage wise ,but his curse doubles the mana on your abilities..
Arthas will heal himself from your judgement of light on the boss so don't worry about him.

Talk to Arthas to open the way to the next part , go back and gather all the zombies in the previous areas(make sure not to kill any of them by using holy shield etc), go through the tunnel to the next area , wait for the zombies to catch up( there should be over 70-80 if you did it right) and then kill as many as you need.

§ Everyone in the group will get credit for a zombie kill REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY ARE INSIDE THE INSTANCE.

Tried this today, and we sent a ret paladin back (ofc after kiting 2nd boss etcetc.) to kill all the zombies at the first street while the rest cleared the street with elites. We did not get the achievement, and only got about 60 zombies (which is the amount of zombies in the elite street). So I dont think you get credit nomatter where you are in the instance.

Kommentar von Lindentree

actually, if you're a prot warrior take off your shield temporarily so you dont accidentally kill them with your passive =P

THIS WILL NOT WORK.

Damage shield damage is based on block value is based on strength, and is dealt out when you block or take damage normally. Taking off your shield will not disable damage shield, and will only slightly lower your block value.

Instead, do what Razia said and go into your dps spec with your tanking gear on. You lose barely any mitigation, and if you're specced into Piercing Howl as one of your filler talents (as I am) you won't even need it, or a healer.

If you can, send a druid/rogue/hunter out to start the town hall event. Going unstealthed doesn't aggro too many zombies, but every zombie counts.

By Pa&*!@os on 12/17/2008 (Patch 3.0.3)
I am going to repeat some facts mentioned above just to have everything in one post.

a. Zombies are found in two different areas
b. Zombies in the first area (where two first bosses spawn) are not enough for the achievement
c. Zombies in the second area are mixed with elites and are not so easy to gather and kill
d. Zombies in the first area stop respawning after the death of the second boss
e. Timer for the achievement starts after one zombie is killed, so it is best to gather as much zombies as possible and AoE them down.

By Draganoth77 on 01/06/2009 (Patch 3.0.3)
that' what we did and we got it on first try.
Do the instance normally until 2nd boss.
Kill 2nb boss in the inn slowly so all the 85 previous undeads have time to respawn.
Help Arthas kill the Infinite dragonflight and the 3rn boss.
Send the tank grab all the 85 undeads in the previous streets (whith no ''thorn-type'' auras activated)
Kill those 85 undeads + 15 undeads from the next part of the instance.

By Grummet on 12/04/2008 (Patch 3.0.3)
Steps:
1. Kill 1st boss
2. Drag the 2nd boss into the inn, wait for zombies you just killed to respawn
3. Kill 2nd boss (zombies don't respawn now)
4. Wait for slow-ass Arthas to get to the Inn
5. Clear the inn with Arthas, including the 3rd boss
6. Setup & kill ZOMBIES

THIS..... is the most useful information. Basic mechanics and strategy. Follow the advice of these three posters and you're set. Very simple. These guys provided the best info as far as I'm concerned.

I hate how so many people in these achievement posts end up posting CRAP about "Group Build" and such. I saw one post for Less-rabi where some moron suggested a group with 4 rogues. /facepalm

Please..... don't kill any more of my braincells by posting useless fluff.

STOP...... and THINK..... before you post.

Just got this done today. Very easy with the current gear and the tips from wowhead.

We did it as:

2 pallies (the tank and a ret one)
ele shaman
lock (forgot spec)
and holy priest (me)

this is how we did it:

1- check if there are no damaging auras active, turn the tracking for zombiefest! on (it helps a lot) and do instance normally until second boss spawns (the necromancer)

2- kite boss into the town hall and kill all the zombies that followed (be careful with many corpse explosions, tho)

3- hold dps on boss for a minute or maybe a little more. that will give all the zombies time to respawn and will reset the countdown on the tracking as well (and you need this).

4- When the boss is dead, wait for arthas to show up in front of the inn, talk to him and proceed to kill the third boss. talk to arthas again ONLY ONCE so he will open the secret passage.

5- have someone (tank is better, probably) aggro all the zombies (just body pull them, don't attack them to pull, it's too risky) and kite them all through the secret passage, where the rest of the party will be waiting for you. This shouldn't be a problem, as the zombies move very slow and never lose aggro from distance.

6- when the tank arrives, a horde of zombies will soon follow. nuke'em all with generous use of AoE (holy nova is good as it heals at the same time)

7- rush through the door into the burning area of stratholme (tank in front) and while the DPS kills the rest of the zombies by AoEing everything, the tank focus on getting the elites while the healer keeps everyone alive.

Easy! =)

Prot War FTW. Took off my main hand and shield and did no dmg to Zombies while kiting them back to their destruction. Of course you have to remember to re-equip...

Kommentar von 369416

Got this last night in a slightly unorthodox way. When trying it the normal way our tank DCed just as he came out of the town hall with all the zombies on him, so we wiped.

As a rogue, I sneaked all the way back through the town hall to see if they were still there, but they had all reset to their original positions. The rest of the group were about to give up but I got them to stay and came up with a plan. I told the others to stay at the entrance to the town while the tank (Pala) rounded up all the zombies in the first area and then follow behind him very carefully. When he came through the town hall he rounded up a few more zombies, and then I popped out of stealth and the 2 of us nuked them before the other 3 had even caught up with us.

Kommentar von 86814

all the things above is correct.. i've done it today with a average grp.. u dont have to be all geared up and all, but of course try to wear at least ilvl245 items, im talking about the tank of course.. the others are not important..
kill the second boss in the town hall.. and try to kill him slower so that zombies can respawn.. kill the 3rd boss and make arthas open the secret door.. then dont talk with him again in the street.. instead have your tank(in my case that was me) teleport out and then in, and begining from the left hand side collect all the zombies. they are slow so all you have to do is make them chase you. then unite with your group on the otherside of town hall. dont start to kill them until most of them comes. you have to hit about 85-90 zombies by the time the first sections zombies are dead. after that nuke all of the zombies ahead of the road... piece of cake really.. but have your tank remove all of the damage on hit items and abilities such as http://www.wowhead.com/item=42500.
I have killed 2 of them without hitting and when one of them dies the timer is starting. so be careful..

Kommentar von 656330

I tried it this morning, but subsequently failed, due to lack of zombies in the first quarter. We got 81 zombies. err so close...

Kommentar von Pledioch

Zombiefest! is a little more difficult now due to some changes in 4.0.1. Tanks no longer have high defense levels, so they can be dazed, which makes gathering zombies more difficult, and on top of that, no mobs in the first area will enter the inn, which means you can't kite zombies through to the other side, nor can you get the 2nd boss actually inside the inn. The good news is that the zombies respawn much quicker now, so you don't have to keep the 2nd boss alive for 10 minutes.

Also, as before, you will get credit for zombie kills anywhere in the instance, so the idea is to split your group to the two sides and kill enough zombies on both sides simultaneously. This strategy worked pre-4.0.1, but it was just easier to kite through the inn.

Strategy:

Drag boss #2 to the door of the inn (he won't let you bring him inside, just bring him near the steps).
Give it a minute or two until you see the zombies respawning, then kill him.***
Talk to Arthas, then clear the inn, kill the 3rd boss, and talk to Arthas again to get him to open the bookcase.
Stage your main tank and his assist (Group 1) in the first area, and stage your offtank+2 (Group 2) in the second area.
Have your main tank (preferably a paladin or druid) round up the zombies in the first area as before, but be aware that your tank will take damage, especially when Dazed, so be prepared for this. Have your assist drop Earthbind Totem, Stoneclaw Totem, or Ice Trap to slow the zombies and allow the tank to run away and heal. Once you reach the fountain and get out of the massive group of zombies you'll have there, you're clear. Keep the zombies in sight and move slowly to the inn
As you get closer to the inn, let Group 2 know that they can go ahead.
It's important that the next two steps happen at approximately the same time:
Have Group 2 run in (without talking to Arthas, please) and kill zombies. Group 2 should not stop killing until you have the achievement. The Group 2 tank only really needs to make sure that any elites in the group are hitting him and not the clothies, so minimal threat on elites will suffice, and then he can contribute to zombie-killing.
Simultaneously, the Group 1 tank should have the zombies circled up right outside the inn (you can run in a circle around them to avoid getting hit until it's time to kill them). Have your Group 1 tank pop his defensive cooldowns, stop running, and blast the zombies with Holy Wrath, Consecration, Swipe, Thorns, whatever. This should be more than enough to kill the zombies (especially Holy Wrath), but you WILL lag because of it, so turn your settings down if you want...as long as you survive it and the zombies don't, it doesn't matter, just spam your AoEs.

Group Makeup
Clearly, this is much more difficult with a Tank/Healer/DPSx3 group setup. If you're able, grab some buddies and make a group like this:

Main Tank (Prot Paladin/Feral Druid)
Main Assist (Resto Shaman, Hunter, or some other class that can slow mobs without damaging them)
Offtank (Feral Druid/Warrior/DK, tank spec preferred, dps spec will suffice)
AoE DPS (Warlock, Mage, etc.; Ranged is probably better than melee)
DPS or Healer (Boomkin or dps Shaman is great, but anything works)

Clearly there's some room for fudging, but I really recommend that you bring a Resto Shaman as your Assist in Group 1 if possible. Assign him to your Main Tank and he can help keep your tank alive with Earth Shield (which will not cause threat) while he gathers up zombies, and (probably more importantly) he can drop Earthbind Totem and Stoneclaw Totem to give the tank some breathing room. Bringing two healers is probably safer than bringing only one, but work with what you have, and don't be afraid to go really slowly and have people switch specs and all that.

The difficulty comes from the fact that it's difficult to keep your Group 1 tank alive when he's dazed, since he'll lose aggro if someone else heals him, and it's very difficult to get out of being dazed when 50 mobs are hitting you. Timing is a bit of an issue, of course, but if you get side 1 done (given that you have ALL 85 zombies), then you shouldn't have any problem finishing.

***The zombies may now continue spawning after the 2nd boss is dead, but i'm not completely sure. Regardless, the wait is more like 60 seconds now, instead of several minutes, so I wouldn't risk it.

Kommentar von 205883

I tried this today in patch 4.0.1, and it was "bugging" with the metode above(pulling to the inn).

When our DK tank was pulling all the mobs into the INN, all the mobs would simply reset! We did that 2 times in a row.

Kommentar von Blodyavenger

Release of a new patch (4.0.1) made things a bit different

What are the changes that prevents doing mentioned tactics:
- 2nd boss respawns if you enter Inn (or it throws you back to him if you have aggro)
- Zombies invade if you try to pull them to the Inn (so, you can't pull them to the other side)

New successful tactics

1. Pull 2nd boss right to the enterance of the Inn - don't enter(better if you pull him to the left right next to the Iron Gates)
2. Wait for zombie respawns and kill that boss
3. Go to the Inn carefuly (without pulling additional zombies) and continue your way and kill 3rd Boss
4. Ok, this step is important - Tank alone should gather all the zombies that are crawling in the starting area, while other part of the party waits on the start of the ally on the other side of the Inn (you go there trough secret passage)
5. When tank gathers all zombies (should be around 80) he should give a signal to other members that "Killing must start" and then he DPS that 80 zombies down - others should run into the valley and kill 20+ zombies assap - AoE suggested.

Voila, here is your achievement!

You can balance your power like adding one DPS to the tank to help him clear zombies, or giving tank a healer while other party members just DPS that zombies down without healing...or, well, you'll figure something out

Kommentar von progshine

Tried yesterday, it seems that with the new 4.0 patch you can't do the 'old way' anymore, the boss don't enter the inn nor the zombies.

Kommentar von 111622

Risen Zombies do not enter the INN anymore.

Kill 1st boss (Abomination)

Bring 2nd boss (wave 10/10) near Entrance to the INN, stop dps until Risen Zombies respawn, then kill and immediately run into the INN

Talk to Arthas, he'll glitch out but will be back eventually.

Kill 3rd boss, then talk to Arthas to open that bookshelf.

Now you need to split the Group, the smaller half goes to the Entrance of the INN, to round up the Risen Zombies and bring them back to the Entrance of the INN, while the other 3 waits for that Tank to round them up (the one back at the Entrance) and as soon as those ones go down, you start pulling in the Ally-way where all the Elite zombies are hiding amongst the Risen Zombies.

There are around 80-85 Risen Zombies outside the Entrance of the INN, leaving 15-20 Risen Zombies that need to be killed in the "Gauntlet". Therefore, communication is the tactic, I'm pretty sure it's a Zone-wide counter, so the second that first Risen Zombie goes down, tell your Gauntlet group to book it.

Best possible group: 2 Tanks, 2 healers, 1 dps
Druid Tank for INN entrance zombie gathering (can Sprint)
Priest healer to help him (Fade, Body & Soul)

Any dps for Gauntlet
Paladin Tank (Holy Wrath for elites)
Any Healer.

Added: Yes, only 1 dps is required, these are 800 health Non-elites we're killing, my Priests Holy Nova cleaned house.

Added: I know you don't need this setup, it can be 3-manned infact, but this is how we did it in less than 10 seconds, and it's very safe. As a Priest, I used Mind Vision on the Tank to see what he was up to and to accurately command the Pwnage to commence. There's plenty of methods, but another thing to be warned about, you can't reset the Gauntlet elites / zombies by running into the INN.

Kommentar von Zenkai76

You do NOT need 2 tanks and 2 healers. I just ran this not knowing about the changes with me healing, a pally tank, rogue/hunter/dk dps.

On second boss we tanked him by the door to the inn and waited for them to respawn (they respawn much faster now) then we killed boss. If any zombies aggro you just go intside the inn, they wont go in and they reset aggro. we Cleared all the dragonkin and the 3rd boss as usual. We went back to the entrance of the inn, the pally tank teleported out of the dungeon and back in and ran to gather them all up. We ran back to the entrance door, and we waited for all the zombies to get here, I had him shield himself so I wouldn't have to heal him and take aggro. Once they all got there we killed them all, I was tracking the achiemvent it notified me that we had 92/100 zombies and 1 min to get the other 8. Hunter turned on aspect, we hauled ass to the gauntlet and kill the remaining 8 with 12 seconds to spare. If I had to do this again, I would simply just park 1 dps (pref plate) at the gauntlet and have him kill what ever you needed once you kill the rest.

As you can see there is no reason to bring 2 tanks and 2 healers, that just takes longer to put a group together like that.

Summery -

Tank 2nd Boss by Inn door
Wait for all Zombies to respawn
Kill Second boss
Kill 3rd Boss and Open bookshelf
Tank Teleport out and back in and gather
Healer and 2 DPS stand at the inn door
Last dps stays by the gauntlet
Tank runs to Inn entrance
Wait for all zombies to get to the inn the DPS them down
3rd DPS takes down what ever you need left at the gauntlet.

Good Luck!

Kommentar von Avah

So I'm not sure if it is a bug, or blizz "fixed" this to make it harder. When we went to try to do it today the zombies from the front wouldn't go past the inn doors. They would get stuck and despawn. Also the second boss wouldn't come into the inn; he just teleported our tank back out to him.

So we opened up the bookcase, and let Arthras stay at the beginning of the gauntlet. We were able to pull zombies from the gauntlet though the inn - but it also pulled elites along with them, so our DPS was killing the elites while the zombies were inching their way though.

One of our DPS accidentally aoe'd when the zombies were to close and by that time we were all fed up with trying this achievement. So we just finished the instance as normal.

Just a heads up to anyone trying this post patch 4.0.

Kommentar von 683922

As of patch 4.0.1 the previous method for this achievement no longer works, for two reasons.

1. If the tank has aggro on the 2nd boss and goes inside the Town Hall, he is ported back outside with the boss.
2. If the tank tries to pull the zombies after the 2nd boss is dead into the Town Hall, they will stop at the doorway and evade, returning to their original positions.

New Methods:
1.) There are enough zombies in the gauntlet to do the achievement! After multiple attempts, the method our standard group succeeded with today was to leave Arthas at the beginning of the alley (after Town Hall) and stay as a tight group, while the Pally tank used aggro AOE constantly running down the hall, while the healer healed him, and the other party members did moving AOE. We reached the end of the alley and killed 100 zombies with only 1 second to spare. There may have been 1 or 2 zombies extra.

Since the Pally was using an aggro AOE, repeatedly, he was able to keep the elites on him and heals was able to heal him as we went, without pulling aggro himself. Our group contained 2 Rogues who simply spammed Fan of Knives, and a Destro Warlock, who could only pop a few cool down AOE's while moving. Do not try to DPS the elites as the tank can't hold their AOE and move fast enough down the gauntlet.

If you fail, return to the beginning of the alley and the zombies in this area do respawn, albeit it takes 2-3 minutes.

2.) The counter includes all zombies in the instance so two groups can kill beginning zombies and gauntlet zombies. By using a similar method as previous patch, of kiting the 2nd boss to near Town Hall door, waiting a minute for zombies to respawn in the front area and then killing the boss. Then you clear up to the 3rd boss and talk to Arthas to open the secret passageway. You then send your main tank to gather the first zombies together (roughly 85) and either with a healer to keep him alive or another DPS, this group kills all the front zombies at once and the 2nd group pulls roughly 20 more zombies and tries to kill at the same time to get the total 100. Obviously communication is important here, and it is hard to kill the front group without them getting to the tank and killing him instantly. This method works best with two tanks and two healers. The other downfall to this method, is if you fail, you can't do it again, but you can try the first method.

3.) Unproven! Do a reverse pull of the gauntlet to the front area. You can pull zombies from the gauntlet into the secret passage and up into the Town Hall. The idea would be to proceed as in method 2, but have the tank pull from the gauntlet first about half the first section (20 zombies), and drag them through to the front area and pull the other zombies into one massive group to kill together. This would be difficult as there are elites in the gauntlet that stun and slow and may down the tank too quickly without support. DPS would have to single target these as they move, however heals trying to heal the tank and DPS would likely draw aggro of the zombies and risks getting wiped, as the tank can't pull back the aggro without killing the zombies. It is also unsure if the zombies will go out the other side of the Town Hall.

Kommentar von Teregus

Tried this tonight, and the 2nd boss and zombies will not follow you into the town hall since patch 4.0.1. If you go into the town hall, the zombies will evade bug and the boss will either reset or teleport his target to himself. So... This is what we did.

There's a building right beside the town hall that you can enter. We pulled him into there instead of the town hall. Tanked him for 3-4 minutes to wait for the zombies to respawn, killed him, and ran into the town hall and progressed as normal. There will be about 2 zombies that aggro you, but don't kill them. When you get into the town hall they'll evade and then reset. Then do this the way mentioned before.

Kill the 3rd boss, open the passage way, don't talk to Arthas, have the tank and a healer pull all the zombies (paladin tank works really well for this, because warriors usually have damage shield and they can heal themselves). There will be about 85 of them, pull them to the town hall, while the paladin kills them the rest of the group (the other 3) start AoEing zombies and the achievement should pop.

Kommentar von 688499

Completed achievement tonight using second method. Had a tank,healer, and dps on second half. Tank/dps and third dps went to first half. Collected first half and then signaled other group when we began to kill the zombies. Second group got what little else was needed.

Kommentar von 367590

Just did this. I solo'd the first part on my Warrior tank. The new Blood Craze combined with Field Dressing made it a peace of cake. Signaled the dps and they wiped out the last 20 or so.

Kommentar von kaito91

we did it 3-man :D
all you need is a holy pala who kills 85 zombies alone and then the suicidesquad of a mage and boomkin! who kills 15 and get killed by the elites.

Kommentar von Celebavari

I tried to follow the guides that have been given here (as most seem to suggest kiting the 2nd Boss into the Inn and killing him slowly until the adds respawn) however my tank was teleported back to the boss in the street each time I tried to enter the Town Hall.

I think this could be Blizzard preventing groups from using the above tactics, although I don't see why they should have decided this was an exploit. The only reason for Blizzard doing this is to force groups to kill the 100 Zombies on the gauntlet run after the 3rd boss, where there are exactly 100 zombies.

Running the gauntlet requires a lot of luck, fast pace, heavy nukage and the tank keeping as much of the elite aggro as possible. Our group wiped several times getting bogged down when the spiders throw webs on players, our best attempt was 99 zombies and we only missed out because the hunter's pet aggroed a lone zombie prior to that run - we let the timer reset but unfortunately the zombie didn't respawn in time.

So in conclusion it would appear the only way to make this achievement now is running the full gauntlet in less than a minute.

Kommentar von Jerodast

I'm not clear on the mechanics of the gauntlet after the inn, but as long as you don't talk to Arthas, can't you clear the gauntlet, wait for the zombies to respawn, and then kill em easily for the achieve? Or do the elites respawn too?

Kommentar von Xuunai

Patch 4.0.1 goes a little differently:

The zombies from the first section of the instance now stop at the doorway to the Inn, meaning you cannot pull the entire instance. Here's what my group did:

Group comp: Warlock x2, Warrior (tank), Shaman (heals), Hunter

-Setup-

DPS A and DPS B begin at the other end of the Inn, the very beginning of the Gauntlet (the big street at the end of the instance).

DPS C, Tank, and Heals start at the entrance doorway to the Inn. The Tank pulls the entire beginning of the instance (up to the Inn) with heals (keep heals to a minimum to avoid unwanted threat transfer to the healer). The tank and heals then run up the steps and stop inside the doorway. Wait until the mobs have grouped at the bottom of the step.

WARNING: the mobs you gather at the Inn doorway will disband after 10-15 seconds.

-Next Stage-

As soon as the mobs have gathered, give the signal to DPS A & B to pull 30-40 mobs (as many as they can handle) and kill them, while DPS C simultaneously kill the mobs gathered by the tank at the Inn doorway.

With any luck you'll get your goal of 100 zombies, no bosses involved. Tried and tested by my group. Good luck!

To be honest I'm in trouble. Never had a good geared enough group to do the gauntlet rush so tried to split up groups as it's suggested above. But it doesn't work at all.

And so we left pala tank and dps to gather zombies before the inn. Me, other dps and healer went to gauntlet. When we started i noticed that i had only like 20-25 zombies counted in achi. They were those which our little group killed on the gauntlet and that pala tank and 1st dps who left before the inn got only 80-85 zombies counted. It was those whom they personally killed by their own. No one got that damn achiv as a result. So how the hell is this achi supposed to be done?

We did this last night Note composition plays a great deal and we accidentally had it.
We had a hunter and the tank (paly) to take care of first side.
and the other 2 warlocks and death knight standed at arthas on the burning side.
We tosses a summon to the paly and hunter while they where aoe'ing everything
Once they where done we had about 60kills and then we continued doing second part with the group complete.

Post 4.0.1

New tactic, requires a bit of gear though ;)

(We had a warrior tanking and a priest healing)

Kill the first 2 bosses just like you normally would, move through the house and kill 3rd. Gather at the the back of the house (but DO NOT talk to Arthas).

Now, there's enough zombies in the back for the achievement, so WITHOUT killing any of them slowly make your way forward, carefully single-target killing the elites one by one. Once you've gathered up all the zombies: AOE like crazy, done! :)

Remember, don't talk to Arthas, he'll probably run off and kill something :P If you die tryin this, the mobs should respawn in 5 minutes or so as long as Arthas is alive.

Happy hunting!

We were able to do this today. Most of us were unsure what to do except what info we got from reading forums, etc. plus our tank knew the old way.

What we did:
Druid tank:
We went through just like normal through the waves of mini groups in the first half, then at the last boss of first half before Arthas walks into the room with those three humans that change into dragons, we kept Salramm the Fleshcrafter alive for a 2 or 3 min minutes until the skels in the first half respawned then killed Salramm.

After this, we just went through the building like normal, killing dragons, and Chrono-Lord Epoch. Then ran past the bookcase and waited at the building exit not talking to Arthas.

We split our 5 person party( 1 - 4) in the front and back entrances so that the druid tank ran back to the the first half agroing all the skells by himself, and then he just told us in chat when he was about to kill all the skellz so then we ran out of the building back exit near where Arthas was standing and killed as many skells as we could to make up the difference of whatever the Druid was short from 100. For the few that we needed to kill in the second half of the instance, I just spammed scatter shot and it worked fine, but a holy spec priest would have an easier time spamming holy nova.

If you do it this way, you don't have to worry about killing every single zombie in the first half before you start, and whatever you come short of in the first half to get to 100 just start killing whatever else you need in the second half.

Kommentar von 396790

We were lucky enough to have a DK tank (myself, offspec) and a pally tank. I pulled the entire entry after killing the third boss (Chrono Lord) and circled them around the fountain while the rest of the group pushed through the gauntlet, once we tallied 30-40 on the gauntlet DnD took care of the rest. We made sure to kill the second boss as near to the Inn as possible and gave plenty of time for the zombies to respawn.

This has been bunk'd. GG blizz.

Kommentar von LuckyGhoul

Just want to throw this strategy out there:

The main issue for the gauntlet is keeping threat on the tank without doing damage while keeping him alive. (this assumes the gauntlet has exactly 100 zombies)

The solution: Holy Pally tank.

We lost a tank in CoS once and the healing pally just threw on Righteous Fury and spammed heals. It was more than enough threat gen to keep aggro over my 5.8k ele shaman. Even did this on a boss!

I don't see why it couldn't work on the gauntlet. Gonna try to get a group together to do this, will report back if it works.

Kommentar von 236790

Could've just been bad luck on our half but I think this is bugged. Was working 2 days earlier when a friend(war) and I (resto sham) were 2 manning it. Just attempted it again few minutes ago and the timers would not reset.

First try we were dumb and didn't realize there wouldn't be enough just from the start. 2nd time we tried going through the gauntlet area with all the zombies on him while killing just the elites. We even backtracked to get any that we killed accidentally, ended with 99. Tonight I did it with a pally, we pulled a bunch up to the building from the gauntlet and killed the elite. He stayed at the entrance of the door with the mobs. I ran out and gather the ones at the start and the achievement still just showed me at 99. And the timer didn't start for my friend either.

Kommentar von Anathelia

To people attempting Zombiefest:

There are NOT enough zombies in the gauntlet. You WILL need several from the front.

Here's a strategy we used to find this out. We had a druid (myself) at the far enough of the gauntlet dash through, and the main party start pulling and aggroing zombies at the signal. When the druid reached the party, all the mobs trained up behind him, and as we were having fun wiping, watching the counter go up to 90... 91... 92... 93... 94... 95...

95.

We were short 5 zombies in the gauntlet area, having killed ALL of them. If you're like my group, and wipe or lag and lose the zombies in the front area, you're basically done. You can't expect that there will be enough zombies in the gauntlet alone.

Kommentar von 34240

Since patch 4.0.3a (the shattering), the zombies no longer evade when you try and take them through the town hall (an apparent bug that appeared after patch 4.0.1)

Kommentar von 343330

Just did this in 4.0.3a. We only had 4 people (four of us were RL friends and we didn't trust the random 5th to do what he was supposed to).

Mage, warlock, druid tank, priest.

We did as many suggest, killing the 2nd boss in the in. Then kill the 3rd boss. Then we sent the mage and warlock into the first half. They gathered as much as possible until it was almost overwhelming, then killed them all (mage had gathered almost 50 by that point). As soon as the mage killed his first zombie in the first half of the dungeon, the priest and druid just ran through the gauntlet and gathered nearly all of it and AE'd it down.

We went from 0 to 100 in seconds from the gunshot. Zombiefest!

Kommentar von XylanTrueheart

Well Blizzard's quality assurance is getting a tad sloppy considering their QA is mostly very high. Way back when this achievement was introduced the usual strategy of dragging one whole side to the other side was tough enough for a group who knew what to do. When I did this not too long ago on my pally it was a rude encounter to realize that the second boss nor the zombies were able to enter the Town Hall. So we had to adopt the split strategy method which did work but was challenging especially since most in the group with my pally didn't know what to do. But I like to confirm that it is now back to the drag them all method. This works again as before. So who knows if it was a bug or a reverting since there we a good few complaints about the change in the method.

Kommentar von Nolimit

Just had tank&healer pull whole first part to gauntlet and then we proceeded to kill remaining few so people claiming they despawn at doors are wrong.

Kommentar von 741151

We just completed this achievement, and there are a few changes from what was posted on the comments.

The biggest of the changes is that the zombies followed us right through the inn.

Group composition:
Pally Tank (level 85)
Pally Healer (level 85)
Shammy Enhance (level 84)
Mage Frost (level 84)
Rogue Combat (level 85)

Basically, we cleared up to the second boss, and while fighting the second boss we dragged him to the front door of the inn, and then slowly DPSed him, dragging out the fight to allow zombies to respawn. After we judged enough time, we single-targetted the boss down (making sure not to kill any zombies). Then, our pally tank, who had the talent for increased movement speed), kited the zombies through the first section of the instance while the rest of the party continued on and killed up-to-and-including Chrono-Lord Epoch. The zombies are slower than the pally tank with increased speed, but he did have to blow his Lay-on-Hands once while kiting, so be careful. While the pally tank was kiting (and agroing the rest of the zombies he hadn't already been kiting.....and killing critters for good measure.....), the rest of the party opened up the pathway behind the inn, and waited on the otherside of the passage for the pally tank to run through, dragging all the zombies from the first part of the instance. Once through, he gathered a the zombies from the first part of the second gauntlet, and then stood in the middle of the street waiting for all the zombies to surround him. Ring of Frost, another Lay-on-Hands from our pally healer (and a scare when she accidentally hit consecrate pre-maturely), and a quick AoE, and the achievement was complete.

Hopefully this helps someone, because we read all the different ways of doing it first, only to find out that we couldn't use those methods.

Kommentar von 140297

I dont know if its been posted (im too lazy to read)
BUT its easier if you have a Group of at least 3 people (ours was 1 prot warrior and 2 shadow priests) all level 85
1.Kill up to Salram
2.Tank kites Salram while gathering the zombies (ALL) in the First part of Strat
3.Once all Zombies are gathered AoE them down
You should get the achievement

Kommentar von m0nkeysensei

Shaman magma totem kills them in 2 ticks at 85, less if you use fire nova. Possibly could do this solo if you found out a way to deal with the elites.

Kommentar von 774406

Did this today with a holy priest, a feral druid, and a moonkin.

We epicly failed at the beginning and accidentally killed all the zombies in the first area (85)

So we decided to bum-rush-spam-aoe the gauntlet with the priest and the moonkin healing the feral bear. There were exactly 100 zombies in the gauntlet alone and we got the achievement.

Then we died.

Kommentar von Hartagon

Soloable by 85 prot pally... (I had 352 ilvl)

Pretty much the same as the ways described for groups... Burn everything until wave 10, pull the boss at wave 10 into town hall, wait about 3 minutes... Kill him... Kill town hall boss... Pull all the zombies in first area (though don't get to far from them they may reset) to the second area... Burn them... Pull more in second area... Burn them... Got it before I was half way up the first section of street in the second area with 42 seconds left...

Kommentar von 341355

I just got the achievement as an 85 hunter. We four-maned it (Disc Priest, Prot Warrior, Hunter and Mage). We simply pulled the entire back alley and once we collected every thing at other end, aoe'ed them down. For a group of 85's, it's pretty easy.

Kommentar von 796598

Soloed it 10 minutes ago as a Beast Mastery Hunter with an average item level of 334.

Basically, as everyone else said, just did the instance as normal until the second boss, where I pulled him into the Inn. Waited until I saw respawns popping up outside (Track Undead) so I knew he could be killed without hampering respawns of the zombies.

After that I did as normal, killed the time boss and then went and gathered the zombies up. It was easy to me because I used a spirit beast (newly tamed Karoma :3) and kept him on passive. With mend pet up, they would attract to me immediately. I used the Move To command to get Karoma to aggro the side packs. After I had them all up, I just deterrenced when I had to run near the large pack when doubling back towards the inn, and rocket boots to get a good lead. By then I was in the clear and any damage I had taken I used Spirit Mend to patch up.

I stayed about 20 yards ahead so they wouldn't tether back to their spawns and dragged them to the other side. Once in the fire section of Strat, I just dropped an Ice trap at the door, and an explosive trap a bit further back towards me. Once the explosive trap went off, I just used Multi-shot and they dropped immediately. I had about 80 at this point and just activated Bestial Wrath and took out the remaining 20.

I didn't encounter any weird tethering issues like others said, which was weird. I have screenshot evidence to prove I succeeded.

Just trying to help. :)

Soloed this as a blood DK in blood presence. I used tanking gear and beer-basted crocolisk and drums of forgotten kings for extra HP.

Just followed the standard strategy for getting the zombies in the first half of the dungeon to respawn. Ran back to the entrance of Stratholme trying to aggro as few zombies as possible. Had to kill a few and waited for timer to reset. Then aggroed all the zombies, ran back through the inn making sure I stayed in range of them so I didn't lose aggro. Bandaged when I got to Arthas on the burning side. Nuked them down with blood boil; killed 52. Then I worked my way down the burning street killing zombies with blood boil. I used death strike on ghouls to heal myself as needed. I hit 100 about halfway down the street. It was close since I was taking a lot of damage and had to use a health potion but I lived.

One strange glitch was that I had to use blood boil 3 times to kill the first pack of 52. I don't know if blood boil has a limit on how many things you can nuke at once but it was odd. I had to do it twice because the first time I rounded up the first group I only ended up with one when I got to Arthas. So yes, they do tether or lose aggro.

Solo'd as an 85 Arcane Mage, 351 avg ilvl.
Hardest part by far was Meathook. With his interrupts, as a squishy caster, I just couldn't burn him down fast enough until I used Time Warp. That did the trick though.

For the spawning packs of mobs, just made sure to kill the melee first. Used Mirror Images and other cooldowns on the last few packs.

When I ran through with Arthas, he almost died a few times, I kind've got lucky. After I killed the last boss before the final gauntlet, I put on some enchanted run-speed boots, and ran back to the start of the building. Then timed myself twice going through to the end. With the increased run speed of blink, was able to do it in around 40 seconds. I allowed for a few seconds of stumbling and bumping into things just in case.

So when i had allowed enough time for one last full respawn, I put on Frost Armor, and started rounding them up, using Mana Shield and Blink. Once I got to the end, I let them all gather up, then blinked back to the entrance of the building. They all got to me in one big group, but I wanted to be sure so i kited them around for a bit, checking behind them to make sure there were no stragglers. They got a bit too close to me a couple times as I was checking though, and took huge chunks of HP out of me.

Hit a rejuv pot and waited at the door for them all to get to me, and Arcane Explosion'd them down. Blinked through the building and did my run through. Got to the end, ran into the group on the other side, spamming arcane explosion. Got it I'd say about 10 zombies in. Barely made it though i think, plus I only had a sliver of life and mana left.

Could have done it way cleaner had I known for sure that I had them all grouped up the first time, but got it at least.
** just saw here after I posted that they no longer bug out when dragging them through the town hall... wish i had checked that sooner lol, I just assumed they still did.. that would make it alot easier

Kommentar von 643018

I was thinking... How far would the zombies come from to witness something as peculiar as the unexplained spawn of a, say, lvl 1 hunter pet? ;)

Depending on range, this would balance between convinience and exploitation, espesially with a mend pet use to take aggro from pet instantly.

Kommentar von XCJ28

The achievement is solo-able as of Cataclysm, i have done it on an 85 Blood Death Knight in DPS gear, just pulled all the zombies available on wave 6/10, though....I did die after obtaining. Not sure if all are needed but it's what I did and it worked.

Kommentar von 558628

Soloed today as a prot pally in mostly 353 and 359 rep gear. Killed everything (including zombies) up until Salramm the Fleshcrafter. Pulled Salramm into the inn and waited around for a couple minutes so all the zombies would respawn (they won't respawn after Salramm is dead.) After killing Salramm go ahead with the events and kill Chrono-Lord Epoch then tell Arthas to open the secret passage. After that run back and gather up all of the zombies and stay close so they don't reset. Pull them through the inn and the secret passage and then kill them quick with AoE. I killed 93 total that way and then ran forward a bit into the gauntlet and got the other 7.

Kommentar von Omgomgesiuol

It's doable as a Prot Warrior, what I did was run through the entire thing as normal except I didn't use any AoE moves (or Revenge, just incase) and stunned/popped CDs on trash that posed a threat.

On the 8th wave I thought I had enough so I AoE'd them down but failed miserably and after running around looking for more ended up with 98, so I started again.

I had around 20 on me when the 2nd boss spawned so what I did was manuvered around it and started gathering them all up as they spawned, eventually they stopped so I hoped I had enough yet ended up with just 96, to my absolute despair.
But after frantically running around looking for more a few started spawning, and with around 7 seconds left I got the last kill.
(Also worth pointing out that these skeletons are extremely slow, so you don't have to worry too much about being slowly pounded down)

Kommentar von 243919

ya they're on the money those methods. Solo'd as 85 feral druid.

Kommentar von Delaios

Easily soloable as a hunter, regardless of spec. Using the standard method (pulling 2nd boss in the inn and waiting for respawns) the only "difficult" thing was gathering up the required zombies. They'll daze you quite often, but when you're on your way back to the inn you can get plenty of distance.

As far as damage goes, both Multishot and Explosive Trap kill the zombies instantly (heroic Atramedes bow and average gear level of around 370). So I layed down a slowing and explosive trap near Arthas to kill the zombies at the first part of the instance. I just spammed Multishot on random mobs down the alley and I got the achievement very easy.

Kommentar von 864854

This is actually soloable by a (demo) warlock and I'll walk you through it. (Nitro boots help tremendously)

Start completing the instance as normal. At second boss, drag him into the inn and have you're voidwalker tank him while you heal up. Wait 1-2 minutes till you feel comfortable that all the zombies outside have respawned again. Kill the second boss and proceed as normal killing the 3rd boss (the time one).

This part is where we have an advantage. Go back downstairs and to the right of the entrance to the inn there is a small storage room. Set your demonic teleport here against the furthest wall. Go back upstairs to the 3rd boss' room and on the left side of the wall you'll notice that you can use your teleport. Now set your teleport down at that spot upstairs.

Have your voidwalker out and run to the beginning of the zombies staying against the left had wall trying to attract as little zombies as possible. When you get to the furthest part where the zombies are start gathering them up (I used nitro boots at this part to juke the zombies running past) Use your VW's sacrifice to provide a shield. Run to the little storage room but do not teleport as the zombies will reset. Wait until most or all of the zombies enter the room, you should be able to have another shield at this point while waiting. Fast summon your Felguard and have him felstorm while you aoe them as quickly as possible once done tele upstairs and run to the gauntlet where you pop meta,immo aura, hellfire and run like hell killing as many as you can. Good luck.

Kommentar von aretmis

To make things simple.
The zombies in the gauntlet are actually enough to complete the achievement.
Just don't talk to Arthas as he might kill a few, but there were still 2-3 'spare' zombies, when I used only the ones in the gauntlet after the 3rd boss.

Kommentar von d3sign8t3dDruNk

This is the LAST achievement I need for the Red Proto Drake. I been soloing the ones that I had left from wrath on my iLev 376 Gobln Fury Warrior with absolutely no problem. This one is eluding me big time. I got up to 98 and the timer ran out, ever since I haven't been able to get back up to anywhere near that. I've tried the beginning area and I have tired that alley without talking to arthas and I've gotten the same results. Any clues, hints or suggestions? The videos I've seen haven't helped, maybe I'm watching the wrong ones. How long is the respawn timer for the zombies? I try my best not to kill any by only single targeting the trash mobs but sometimes my autoattack does what it wants to do lol. Do they respawn if your kiting them around? or do you have to be out of combat for that to happen? I tried kiting them around for 5-10 mins or so using my rocket jump and heroic leap thinking maybe I'd get better results and I end up with the same amount of zombies. Please help, I've tried to like 5-6 days in a row and have the same results :(

It would probably be best to dismiss your pet, or put it on passive...

I have just completed this achive and it was just as easy as when i did it at level 80

completed it with only 2 of us Me as a prot pally and my friend as a moonkin

we did the dungen like normal upto the 2ed boss we moved him into the inn waited a little bit maybe 2-3mins for everything to respwan (waited a minuet longer just incase) then once the 2ed boss was dead we killed the 3rd boss then I (prot pally) ran and grabbed all the zombies (and i made sure i had every single one was there behind me) once i had them all i grouped them up (be careful if grouping them up hits realy big) then ran down past the 3rd boss into the street and waited about 15secound till the zombie cought up then ran into the first mob of the street we both Aoe'd they went down within 20 secound.

Kommentar von zinsco

Just soloed this as a BM Hunter and found out that there must be at least 100 zombies in the first street.

After I kited all the zombies through the bookcase and down the secret passage way. I ran into the street (not to far) turned around and waited for the zombies to get close. Once they were all out into the street I multishot them and bang, got the achievement. Never turned around and started killing zombies in the 2nd street.

Kommentar von wtribe

Another bit of solo advice, this time from an elemental shaman. It's patch 4.2 and while I'm using my pve gear (~378 ilvl average) I'm using my elemental pvp spec. This is notable for the aoe root by way of the talent, Earth's Grasp. I also made use of the Glyph of Stoneclaw Totem for the absorb shield. These two abilities made gathering up the zombies effortless. Getting there was the hard part, as some of the packs before the 1st and 2nd boss surprised me with the amount of damage they were dishing out.

Another interesting note to corroborate as noted by zinsco above. There are at least 102 zombies in the first half of the instance. I was able to gather up every single of those zombies without any problem, kite them through the town hall and then kill them in the last room before the final gauntlet. The achievement registered with two of them still standing.

I assume that the usual issues with totems killing mobs would prevent resto and enhancement from completing this, as the zombies have too few hit points to survive a flame shock to fire nova the rest for a player to tag. As it was, with so many of them, my thunderstorm didn't one shot them and I had to use a magma totem to finish them off.

Kommentar von 496756

Soloed this as an 85 feral druid. Killed all the bosses up to the second. Dont worry about killing the zombies before the second boss, they respawn. I kited the second boss into the Inn where the time agent guys attack Arthas then sloowly killed him in there. If you kill him too fast the zombies outside wont respawn and you cant get the achieve. After the all the zombies outside respawn and you've killed Salaram you can head upstairs and kill the third boss, unlocking the secret passage way. Now head back to the first area and gather up all the zombies and bring them to the begining of the second area. Then pop all defensive cooldowns and burn them down.

Kommentar von 739545

OK so this is how our group managed to get this done in under a minute.
We had:
2x Hunters (one BM spec, one MM spec) pets on passive
1x Warrior (Fury)
1x Paladin (Protection)
1x Death Knight (Blood)
I think that as long as you have two non-squishies to “tank” you’ll fine.
Basically – clear the alley
Have one hunter, and one of your “tanks” return to the inn (start of the alley), and the other set on the end alley (under the archway, before the boss)
The pally/healer needs to go with whichever group will need heals more, so this means the squishier of the two groups 
The zombies will respawn after about 2 minutes; they will show up on the hunters track.
Wait for all of the zombies to respawn. Have the hunter on the far side post when this is.
Once they are respawn the “tank” runs forward.
When the tank has 20-40 zombies on him/her, have the Hunters cast multi-shot “tank” run forward still.
By the time the two groups meet in the middle you will have killed 100 zombies 
Couple of notes:
Don’t’ worry about killing the Elites until after you get the achievement (or you fail at it). If you fail just repeat the above steps the zombies will respawn and you can keep at it till you get it or till you get so frustrated you /rage quit trying 

Kommentar von 871220

My guildmates and I just did this and as stated above, easy-peasy lemon-squeazy!

Fight your way through all 10 waves of the Scourge.
Once Salramm the Fleshcrafter spawns, leave a tank at the front entrance of Stratholme, and pull Salramm with the rest of the party to the Inn.
Pull Salramm all the way into the Inn and tank him there for about 4 minutes...until the zombies respawn outside. Then burn him down.
Once he is down, talk to Arthas outside, and run the inn until you kill Chrono-Lord Epoch.
Let Arthas open the passage way, then have your tank waiting back at the beginning pull all the zombies and run to the Inn, bringing them all with. Once there, burn them all down, and have the party exit the back of the inn and mop up the few needed for the achieve.
Easy-peasy

Kommentar von 907497

I did this achievement today just after spawning the second boss, in the first street area. I didn't have to do any of the tricks mentioned above; I simply collected every zombie from the inn up to the Market Row gate and killed them, and was on 94 with around ten still surrounding the boss. I'm not sure if it's been changed in a recent patch, but it's probably worth noting.

Your mileage may vary (I was actually collecting them to make pulling the boss to the Inn easier).

Kommentar von MajorMage

Wow, just got this tonight.
Almost Two manned it with Warrior, holding agro on zombies, and Mage both killing all Ghouls and bosses in first half.
Then Mage and Priest killed dragons and boss in the Inn with Arthas.
(Had to get Priest for heals cuz I failed at dragons in Inn by myself...don't hate me for being honest)
After boss was dead, went through the passage to the back half of the instance.
Right outside were more than enough zombies - Warrior brought pack of zombies through the Inn, gathered all the zombies in the back half and brought them back to the Inn where Priest and myself were waiting and then killed about 150 zombies at once.
What a trip!

Kommentar von ReplicaOfKzD

almost soloable by most classes (i guess)

i did it as mage + rsham previous patch
and did it today as priest+hunter (but it apperared he was afk during main phase)

clear 9/10, then pull 2. boss inside town hall, kill hin and FD (we weren't sure how zombies resp'ed)

then we cleared trash + 3. boss and didn't talk to arthas

after I went alone (in inner fire + pvp 4set for it's effect when pw:s yourself) to 1st part, pulled all zombies, kited them to 2nd part
waited until i saw zombies coming downstairs, pulled 1st elite pack+all small zombies before it, roughly to be ~20
then small ones with 1-2 holy nova-s, then PS+Barrier, Infusion and spam holy nova as zombies from previos part income

keep in mind, you oneshot zombies with nova when they are 1-10-15 maybe, but when they are ~80 coming by 30-40 parts you need about 5-6 novas, i even got freezes, though I have decent PC

as for mage it's even easier. when kiting zombies from 1st part put RoF near Arthas - kill 20 zombies from 2nd part and then oneshot with some AoE all zombie in RoF

Did the achievement today.Do the 10 waves.After that a boss will spawn.Pull him into the house or the inn.Stay there and wait for all the zombies that you killed to re spawn.Kill the boss after 2-3 min.Go and do the next boss and open the bookcase passage.After that go back and pull all the zombies from the area that you did the 10 waves.Go true the bookcase passage and pull some more zombies.Wait for all the zombies to catch up.AOE and you have the achievement.If you don't pull all the zombies from the area where the 10 waves occur to the zombies on the other side of the bookcase passage you cant get the achievement.Its just there are not enough zombies there.

Just soloed on my ilvl 391 prot pally. Just drag the first set of zombies thru the house into the 2nd set, round them all up into a tight ball and ae them down. I ended up dying from it due to the curse which reduces your hp 15% each tick, but I still got the achievement.

I just did this solo with my 85 MM hunter with turtle pet. The method outlined above works, but I guess it needs some practice for solo. What I did was:

1. Kill 1st boss.
2. Drag 2nd boss in the inn.
3. Wait for zombies outside to respawn.
4. Kill 2nd boss.
5. Kill 3rd boss, open passageway.
6. Move back to 1st street and gather all zombies outside.
7. Move to the second street through the secret passageway.
8. Kill the whole pack and a few more from the street if needed.

As a hunter, the trick I used to survive the 100 zombies hitting was to use deterrence so you won't get slowed down, and disengage to get some distance. I'd make one or two laps around to make sure I gathered all zombies. More than once I got killed by the group when doing this and miscalculated my route, but the trick is to use your pet's 'move to' command to send it to the other side of the street and feign death, so all the zombies go after him. WIth the free room you run away, call your pet back with 'follow' and mend. This works very well to get them all in a compact pack. Expect some FPS drop when you hit it with multi-shot.

Kommentar von xaeran

I just solo'd this on my warlock (demonology). Took a few attempts getting the kiting down, but not bad:

Start out by killing any zombies you want and the elite packs.

Kill the 1st boss Meathook (Abomination)

Continue killing mobs.

Kite the 2nd boss Salramm the Fleshcrafter (wave 10/10) into the INN. Just pull and run. Kill any zombies in your kiting path (as they will aggro to you and not count towards the achievement anyway). Kite him into the INN and up the stairs to where the 3rd boss spawns. This will add more time needed for the zombies to respawn. Once you have the boss in the Inn, dps him VERY slowly to allow Risen Zombies to respawn. Basically I just spammed life drain until he died. This gave a good amount of time for the zombies to respawn.

At this point DO NOT KILL ANY MORE ZOMBIES! Once Salramm is dead, they will not respawn.

Talk to Arthas. Kill the infinite dragonflight spawn upto and including the 3rd boss, then talk to Arthas to open that bookshelf.

At this point I went back outside to the town square and used my Voidwalker (on passive) to round up all the zombies. Just move him around with the move to ability. Never stop him moving. If he dies, just insta-summon him again and rinse repeat. Once you have all the mobs in the town aggoed (and packed somewhat tightly), go back into the inn through the bookshelf, and out into the burning streets.

**If you end up stunned/bogged down with zombies, pop demon form and demon leap up ahead, just be sure not to hit any zombies**

Wait here for the pack to come downstairs. Once you see them coming down the last flight of stairs, send your voidwalker into the mobs in the street. As soon as a bunch are aggro'd, pop soulburn and summom your Felguard. Pop Metamorphosis, Infernal, Immolation Aura, Felstorm, Hellfire.... any aoe you have and start burning everything and WIN.

You have 1 minute once you start burning zombies, so if you fall short with all the zombies you pulled, start running up the street into the packs using Hellfire. You can pick up 20+ that way.

Kommentar von JimmyR

Just solo'd as a Blood DK, and it wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be. I just followed the previous instructions (go through the instance like normal until the third boss, then pull him up to the top floor of the inn).

I was intimidated by the fact that 100 zombies would be hitting me for 100-200 damage every second or so, but what most other comments seem to neglect to mention is.. the ZOMBIES ARE SLOW, you can easily outrun them with the Glyph of Bone Shield. Hell, you probably wont even need it.

However, since they're slow it might take awhile for them all to show up at the same time, you'll most likely be taking some damage regardless. So here's some tips for clothies trying to do this.

Step 1: Drag the zombie train into the inn, then through the secret passage
Step 2: Run to the top floor of the room just before you re enter the street again
Step 3: Wait for some of the zombies to get up to you
Step 4: Once there's too many, but you're still waiting on the stragglers, jump to the bottom floor near Arthas. It'll give you some reprieve while they shamble down the stairs.

Just keep running up the stairs and jumping down again until everyone shows up.

I did this, ran out into the street and grabbed the first group of zombies I saw. Popped Blood Boil a few times and *BWANG* "You have earned the Zombiefest achievement!"

Kommentar von Wowpixel

If you're soloing/duoing this and killed the last first street boss (thus, preventing anymore respawns on the first street) -- as long as you're careful (Retribution aura/thorns, etc. isn't up, either) with single target killing the ghouls/spiders/adepts/abominations -- and there's at least 1 zombie still alive on the first street, you can still get this achieve.

It is harder though.

To do the second street to first street achieve run, you'll have to run through killing the ghouls / spiders / adepts / abominations ***one-by-one*** while you're running to gather the zombies (ghouls/spiders have about 65-68k health; abominations have around 125k). It's important that the kiter has some type of increased movement speed (I used Divine Protection and Hand of Freedom if the zombies got close) or the kiter will get overwhelmed and can die (the zombies are low health , but even on a 85 in plate, they can hit for over 1k. 99x1k h-u-r-t-s). Once all of the other NPCs are dead, you'll have exactly 99 zombies if none were killed -- this is why you need to pull at least 1 zombie in from the first street.

You can bring that one or a pack of zombies from the first street in before making that kill/gather gauntlet; or you can run and kite the <99 to the first street (a safer bet if there's only a few zombies left on the first street. Can always reset the second street run, the first street in strictly limited to what zombies are left).

FYI, killing 100 zombies at once can lockup even an i7 computer, so you may not even notice you got your achieve (I got a server error message in chat ). So verify if you have the achieve if your computer locks up.

4.3 How-To-Do (Blood DK PoV)
Just kill everything and every wave as usual. When you have killed Chrono-Lord Epoch, go back to the mainstreets and collect all zombies out there and bring them through the tunnel down to the last part where Arthas is waiting for you. No need to talk to him, just run through the masses of Zombies and collect them aswell. Pop a cd if you take to much dmg and use a death strike on a zombie for blood shield. Run back and collect the zombies you brought there. Pop death and decay, dot everything and blood boil like a maniac. Bazinga! Achiev! :)
P.s dont freak out if you die, i did too :>

Hope this was helpful :-)

Kommentar von 494667

just finished this on my DK (393 Blood). followed the guides on here and got it first try

cleared first part like normal, kited 2nd boss into inn and let him beat my face in for a few mins, then killed him. cleared the inn with arthas and the 3rd boss to open up passageway. Then went back and gathered all the zombies from the first half, ran to second half and waited for all the zombies to catch up, then pulled the first few packs in the second area, dropped a DnD, and bam.

Kommentar von wowfan

FYI for 85s (or anyone that can survive the elites) that are trying to get achievement, there are exactly 100 Risen Zombies in the street outside the bookcase exit. You don't have to pull the 2nd boss, etc. and all that. Don't worry about the first part of the instance. Just exit through the bookcase and AOE away. Be sure and cover both sides of the street.

Don't talk to Arthas in case you miss one (we did the first time lol) and they will all respawn in 5 - 10 mins (maybe even less) and you can try again. It takes almost a minute to run down the entire street AOEing, so it can be easy to miss one. Also, you probably won't get credit if Arthas kills any - and there are literally exactly 100.

Kommentar von kardanis

On the class like a mage, hunter, rogue you do not need to tank the 2nd boss in the inn waiting for the zombie respawn. After you see the warning about the boss spawn do not kill any zobies, run pass the boss inside the inn and... vanish (feight death or invisibility). Then wait inside the keep for a minute or two. Better stay away from the wall and LoS. Pull the boss when he is close to the inn door, 3-4 zombies will run as well but it's not a big loss. Kill. Then talk to Arthas to do the Inn part. Then follow the general instructions.
Did it on Fire mage. Lvl390ish GS. Had Frost shield and Ring of frost. Not even a scratch. Zombies dont hit hard, no healer needed. Around 85- 90 zombies should be grabed from the first part of town, and u can easily killed another dozen from the other end. When u are done vanish and teleport out:)

Kommentar von Tobyyyy

I just did both and in one run on a solo 85 dk blood spec and i even though had 8 mins left still.

As most people describe i killed first boss and pulled second boss to the inn and killed it there.

Then i ran with Arthas and killed third boss (remember to talk to Arthar so he opens the bookshelf door before you run to pull all the zombies)

Then i ran back and pulled all zombies and slowly walked back making sure i was close enough to the zombies so they would not despawn.

I ran all the way like this to arthas and then started him and pulled like 3-4 groups more, popped defensive cd's and aoed it all.

But this will be even easier when people are doing this in lvl 90 which is soon - good luck in MoP guys :)

Kommentar von 510626

How to do this at level 90 - At least with a tanking class.

As a 90 Warrior I simply went through and killed the first three bosses and without activating the next section of the instance then ran back gathered up the remaining undead from the beginning of the instance then ran down the alleyway which opens up after the 3rd boss and made a bee-line through all the mobs in the gauntlet and then thunder clapped to kill the trash undead and made quick work of the elites and hit the 100 needed.

I'm not sure about other classes, but if you're 90 or a lower level and still haven't gotten this just get yourself a 90 tank and go at it...

If you mess up the first time on the alleyway they do respawn as long as you haven't set off Arthas'.

----------------------

Also, for people going after the Infinite Corruptor before going back to gather up the beginning undead make your way through the ally, and as a level 90 this is really quick, and kill the Infinite Corruptor, then work your way back to the front and then collect the ones from the beginning, by the time you get back to the alley the ones there should have respawned.

Kommentar von grrmisfit

tip for those 90 monks going after this, dont do it as a ww or bm. the reason is they have a passive talent that when you parry it auto attacks back for 2k or so damage. this makes it really hard to round them up as you will kill one or 2 and start the timer early also

Kommentar von 1052867

I just tried soloing this, and after several failed attempts of using the techniques here, I gave up and found that in the mini gauntlet after Chrono-Lord Epoch there are exactly 100 zombies mixed with a bunch of other eilite guys, but as a level 90 blood death knight, it was very doable, and I was decked out in my frost gear to boot. So, if you're looking to solo this achieve just bust out the first part, kill the zombies in the second area, and get the achieve and the drake! I think that at level 85 with a healer presant, this would also be pretty easy, but tank gear couldn't hurt.

Kommentar von Martika

This was magnificently easy on my lvl 90 rogue. Simply stealth through the instance and kill the waves of elite mobs and the two bosses. You will take down 3-5 zombies each time you unstealth and do these fights, but do not fret. Then go into town hall, kill the elites and the boss, and have Arthas open the bookcase.

Then stealth back all the way to the fountain in the square (far SouthWest on the map.) Unstealth and begin to aggro every zombie you see, making your way all the way back to the bookcase. Do not sprint as you may lose your collected mobs. They'll do a little damage, taking away maybe 1/5th of your health - no big deal. Drag them all the way through the bookcase tunnel to the start of the big gauntlet. When they catch up with you, unstealth and use Fan of Knives. You will kill that huge group you collected in 2 seconds and already have around 90/100 for the achievement. Head into the gauntlet using FoK and in another ten seconds or less you will have killed enough to hit 100! Easy as pie!

Kommentar von metal80sguy

Arms Warrior solo with ease @ 90. Just follow the strategy that others have laid out. Kill first boss, drag second into inn. Wait a while for respawn, kill 2nd boss. Kill 3rd boss to open bookcase passage. Go back to starting area and gather all zombies. Drag group through bookcase passage to second area where the last few zombies you'll need to get 100 are. Gather a bunch of zombies in this area, lead them to the original group which should be caught up by now, whirlwind! (or similar aoe) Taa daa! Achievement!

Kommentar von Tiara

I did this yesterday on my 90 paladin (ret). I just aggroed every zombie from the start and ran wave to wave being careful not to aoe or target the zombies while killing the waves. Most of the time the zombies couldn't keep up with me. I killed them all on the 9th wave and got the achievement. I had no idea how many zombies I had but it started getting laggy and when the zombies would catch me they were hitting hard so I figured it was enough.

Kommentar von Kenzii1035

Read these comments about killing third boss then picking up zombies from the start.. Was planning on that.. got a friend to help and he said just go straight down the road that is after the bookshelf.. and there is enough for it. I thought if there was, people would have mentioned it. Sure enough, got the achieve from that. Easier than the earlier posts. Kill everything as normal, then after third boss, just gather them all up and kill the 100 right there. Achievement.

Kommentar von 877612

My husband and I, along with two of our friends, thought we'd give this a try. We read all the comments here about getting Arthas to open the bookshelf and killing zombies on both streets. We were careful to use ONLY single target attacks. Around the 9th wave, I notice my achievement tracker suddenly showed 47 dead... then 68... then 95! Right at that moment, about 7 or 8 zombies spawned in front of me, so I quickly killed the 5 we needed and we got the achievement.

So apparently there IS enough in the first section for the achievement, and no need to go all the way through the dungeon. Just gather them all up while doing the waves, kill them all at once, and as long as you havent killed the second boss yet, more zombies will spawn long before the minute is up.

We didn't mean to do it this way however; and it was my fault. I forgot about my trinket: Geistereisendrachling. It proc'd at the 9th wave, and killed every zombie following us. So if you are trying this, check your gear first. Otherwise your attempt may be thwarted by a well-meaning dragonling. =P

SIDE NOTE: after we got the achievement, we still had 16 minutes on the clock and easily cleared the rest of the dungeon to the Infinite Corrupter, so the one of us who didn't have the Bronze Drake, now has it. =)

Kommentar von MzRezia

The best way to do this solo at level 90 is as follows:

1) Clear as normal until you reach the second boss.

2) Drag the second boss into the inn and kill SLOWLY. I've heard that respawn will take place in 15 seconds but I gave it a full minute just to be safe.

3) Lead Arthus up to kill the third boss and follow him down to the alley.

4) Go back to the first steet and gather all the zombies there.

5) Lead the zombies to the second street.

6) AOE the zombies from the first street down and kill as many on the second street as needed to get the achievement.

Personally, I killed the elites on the second street to get around 15-20 zombies before going back to the first street as insurance, but this worked like a charm and was super easy.

Kommentar von Shirohane

Just did this as a 90 hunter after failing the achievement twice thinking it could only be accomplished in the first section of the instance. After Arthas rudely killed 10 of my zombies before I realized what was happening and killed them myself (and missed the achievement by 14 zombies, all from the first room alone), I read here that the section after the third boss (the infinite dragon one), the long alleyway you run through with Arthas has exactly 100 zombies.

I learned this because I missed one and almost lost the achievement by sitting at 99 zombies before I went back and killed it quick, receiving my red proto immediately.

Kommentar von 1110081

Tried this as lvl90 blood DK, aggroed all mobs in long hallway to the very end. Total in halls for me was 95, went back to see if any were missed and there was nothing. Nothing was attacked til everything was on me, so there's no chance of my accidentally killing some that weren't counted. Also, I tried multiple attempts to aggro all zombies at the starting area which came to around 80-87 each time. I thought this would be an easy one, but it's getting extremely frustrating. :(

Kommentar von 708804

If you are a plate wearer it is totally possible to solo this without going through the ordeal that's listed out below.

If you just collect every zombie you can before boss two (last scourge wave) and tank them though all of the waves you will have over 100 zombies on you and can just AoE them down without engaging the second boss.

Sure makes things a hell of a lot easier.

I did it with an ilvl 460 Prot Warrior

Kommentar von 777314

I don't know if something happened in 5.3 but i'm trying for 3 days to get this achiev on my rogue and couldn't.
First, i tried to kill normally till the 3rd boss and pull the first patch of zombies into the second, didn't work, it didn't even show up how many zombies i killed on the tracking of the achiev.
Second, tried to kill some zombies in the first part, it did show up on my achiev track but then when i started killing the 100 after the 3rd boss the count wouldn't keep increasing.
Third, i killed the first mobs/bosses without touching a single zombie till after the 3rd boss and it wouldn't record that i killed them.
I really don't know what's up with that, opened a ticket in game and waiting for a response, hopefully i'm doing something wrong and the achiev is not bugged.

///confirmed to be bugged by a gm. Seems like everything bugged in 5.3

Kommentar von wetbread

It's working again. I tried to get the achievement last week and had the same problem others have reported with the counter not incrementing at all. Well I got it and the red proto drake for glory of the hero about 5 minutes ago.

So go kill some zombies!

Kommentar von 1122713

its pretty easy
step 1 enter the instance
step 2 kill the first boss
step 3 kite the second boss to the inn
step 4 kill 3rd boss but dont kill any zombies yet
step 5 make one of your members go outside the in and pull all zombies
step 6 kill all mobs in the path behind the inn but dont kill zombies
step 7 kill all the zombies you have pulled
step 8 enjoy your achievement

here some other hints
if you are alone then pull all zombies outside the inn then kite them trough and aoe them all down
dont speak to Arthas and say you are ready he will just kill some of your precius zombies
if you have a hard time surviveing the pulling in the hidden passage try kill some off the elites but no aoe
if you still cant survive it get a tank help you

WARNING: dont solo it if you are lvl 80

Kommentar von Dust

This is far, far easier than most of the comments here imply. If you're currently well geared, even as a clothie, then you don't even need a group; you can just solo it.

1. Enter the heroic instance, talk to Chromie to begin things, and then go use your disrupter on the crates... then talk to Arthas to actually get things started.

(This is the one and only time you need to talk to him. He'll just stay up there at the starting point out of your way for the whole time.)

2. Walk around the place getting aggro on all of the zombies that appear. You can safely kill the handful of adds that aren't zombies (single target damage only; no aoe!), up to and including the first boss: Meathook.

Wait a little while for some zombies to spawn again. By this point, you have so many zombies wailing away on you that it's ridiculous. It should be pretty obvious that you have the required amount of at least 100 zombies on you. Go ahead and aoe them down.

That's it. You don't need to kill the second boss or kite him into an inn, and you don't need to go through the secret bookcase or any of that stuff... !

Kommentar von dyl957

as a lvl 90 mage this is a breeze, frost armor makes them slow wich means frost barrier can easily keep up with the damage as u kite them. don't forget to put your pet on passive and don't have the cleave glyph up so u accidentally kill a zombie when u ice lance another mob

Kommentar von 1230186

First zombie zone, I killed 91 zombies (fairly sure I got all of them).
Second zombie zone, I definitely agro'd/killed all of them and the amount was 100 exactly.

I didn't think the second zone of zombies respawned but they do.

Also, other commenters stated that regardless of where you are in the dungeon, zombies killed by anyone in your group, anywhere in the instance, will count towards your 100 count. I found this to be entirely incorrect. I had one toon in the first zombie zone and another in the second zombie zone. Wiped out one of the zones completely and was expecting the achieve to be a piece of cake but I quickly realised that my second toon was on zero and has not picked up the kills from the first toon.

How we completed this achievement:
(Restoration Druid along with my friend, a Mistweaver Monk (both level 90))

Completed waves and killed Meathook as normal.
Avoided killing normal zombies and focused just on Elites.
Killed Salraam as normal (no AoE as zombies don't respawn after his death).
Collected up all zombies in the area.
Waited for Monk to heal through zombie damage and therefore have aggro on all of them.
Monk waited outside in the street with the zombies (in order to avoid Arthas killing them).
Druid continued up to killing Chrono-Lord Epoch as normal and progressed though the bookshelf passage (ignored Arthas at the bottom of the passage).
Druid collected up all the zombies in the long street (along with elites and acolytes).
Monk brought the zombies from the first area through to the new street.
Both characters met up with each other and waited for all the zombies to catch up (they're a bunch of slowpokes).
AoE'd all the monsters (caused considerable lag but wasn't an issue).
Received the achievement.

Good luck to others :)

Hello guys,
here is a quick guide for solo high level characters:

Lets have this screenshot to help us: http://postimg.org/image/zdw079q5j/
1) After finishing the RP part of the instance and the 1/10 waves start - pull the zombies in street 1 from the image;
2) Make sure to collect all zombies and kill all wave elites with single target spells;
3) Kill the first boss and gather the respawned zombies in street 1;
4) Go to street 2 and gather all the zombies up to the INN;
5) Wait there for all to come and aoe (i waited inside the house on the right side of the inn);
6) gratz for the achievement :)

Kommentar von sushibar

Tried to solo this as a 90 enh shaman. Can't do it because my only AOE's are magma totem, which doesn't give me kill credit, and the cloak AOE (Was not wearing the cloak)

I may have to use the cloak and make sure the zombies stay behind by slowing them with Earthbind totem, so I can kill the mini-bosses without the cloak AOE killing any zombies.. (First section only method)

Or, just do the second boss to inn wait for respawn, then open the passageway, and then pull all the zombies into the second section and kill them all using the cloak AOE.

Or, do it on my druid...

Kommentar von SoBroken

At level 90+ this is easily done, we 2 manned it and killed all non-zombie mobs (anything without zombie in the title) and killed all the bosses.

When we got to the bit where Arthas has to go inside the inn, one person kept zombie aggro outside. The other cleared the bosses up until the part where Arthas stands outside, past the hidden pathway behind the bookshelf. Then we kited all the zombies into the run-through area, aggroed everything from start to finish and waited for all of them to catch up.

Once the zombies had caught up, we just aoe 1 shotted them all and got the achieve. Skills like the mages Ice Nova work perfectly for this.

Kommentar von davidbasara2

Easiest way to do this at level 100? Run and gather all zombies before killing ANY elites. after they are chasing you, single target the elite mobs of your first wave, then run around and gather more zombies. Almost every wave there are more that respawn. I posted a screenshot with the end result after getting all 9 waves done (and NOT killing second boss) so, you want to gather, kill elites, repeat, etc, til the second boss spawns then AoE them down. make sure you don't have any stragglers. These guys run slow.

Kommentar von Skeetr

Do yourself a big favor and unequip any multistrike gear while killing the elites/boss

Kommentar von Adhara

I got this last night on my 96 mage. Was a little frustrated, since the times I tried in the first part of the dungeon (the well-lit part, with Meathook and Salramm) it didn't work; I rounded up all the zombies I could find, running back and forth to catch the new spawns, and the most I ever got at one time was 85. I tried again after going through the tunnel, into the part of the dungeon where the town is on fire, and ran down the street Arcane Explosion-ing. One last zombie ran at me at the end of the street and BLING, I got the achievement.

Moral of the story: It's really hard to tell exactly how many zombies are around you if you're pulling them all at once into a big clump. I didn't round them up in the burning town part of the dungeon. Not saying that you SHOULDN'T group them all up if you don't want to, more the fact that I had better luck in the second section of the dungeon than in the first section.

Kommentar von flatluigi

There's exactly 100 zombies in the long path right after the third boss. Run down that entire path AOEing and you'll get it.

Kommentar von gverderamo

While gathering use the macro below to count up how many you have before you kill them. This macro also works for Trial of the Champion (10 & 25) THE TRAITOR KING acheev. where you have to kill 25 scarabs.

Also, you can get all 100 in the streets before the town hall part. Just run back and forth...they respawn super fast now.

/run local count = 0 for i = 0, 10000, 1 do if _G ~= nil and _G:IsVisible() then count = count + 1 end end print(count)

Kommentar von aprildawn567

I came back on my level 100 toon to get this achievement, and tried a couple of macros and tips from other comments. Maybe some of the info is dated, but everything I tried overcomplicated things. Here's what I did to kill 100 zombies in less than a minute:
1. Run all over town and have the zombies follow you, but don't kill them.
2. Kill all non-zombies.
3. Make it thru phase 10.
4. Run back around town making sure that every single zombie that respawned is following you. You don't have to go in buildings. All zombies are in clear sight on the street.
5. Kill the zombies.
Done!
p.s. Before you start, make sure your Dungeon is set to Heroic. Also, talk to Chromie, the cute little gnome girl, near the beginning of the dungeon and click the option that says you have been here before, and you can port straight to the action. If you decide to finish out the dungeon, be sure to keep talking to Arthas to continue to the next phases. You can't get to the final boss otherwise.

Good luck! =D

Kommentar von petas94

Since no one here posted that macro, here it is, lads. Turn on enemy nameplates and this macro will show you how many mobs you have on you.
/run local count = 0 for i = 0, 10000, 1 do if _G ~= nil and _G:IsVisible() then count = count + 1 end end print(count)
Regarding this achievement, I pulled every zombie in the beginning, killing the waves and pulling newly spawned zombies. Don't kill 2nd boss until you do this achievement and you should have zombies spawning all the time. Use this macro to check how many you got until you have 100+ zombies on you. Kill them and job is done.

Kommentar von 704736

The way I did it was aggroing all the zombies and killing the rest of the mobs that are not zombies until round 10, in round 10 AOE attack and bam achievement!

Kommentar von sweets10

So I decided I was going to knock out my last achievements today for the Glory of The Hero achievement... This happened to be one of them.

I am going to make this short, sweet, and to the point because I read like 3 different comments and was nervous I was going to jack this up.

Collect zombies, collect more zombies, kill Meathook, collect more until nothing pops, kill your zombies, walk away with achievement.

Made two attempts at this and using the macro I can only ever get a count of 40 zombies. If I have 40 then agro some more I still end up with 40. This was during the wave phase at the beginning.
On the gauntlet with Arthas I thought it might work so I ran all the way through and agro'd everything. Count still 40 and no achieve when I nuked them. Not sure if something has changed or I'm doing it wrong.

I just got this achievement, simply by pulling all the zombies in the back alley, waiting for them to regroup on me then casting an AoE.

Kommentar von Andrunow

seems to be bugged. large groups of zombies just run off sometimes :(

Kommentar von Sindar77

Solo'd at 110:
I had problems getting above 88 zombies to spawn in the first part, so I defeated the first stage and second stage having dragged 88 zombies from the first part to the third stage (before you fight Mal'ganis there are more zombies in that alleyway). It's important to keep your zombies away from Arthas because he will kill them when you are at the part in the inn, and it will stall his dialogue/progress.
But after Arthas goes through the bookcase, I did not click on him and just dragged those first part zombies all the way into the alley way you have to fight through, gathered up all the zombies from the first and third parts, then one Thunderclap and I had the Achievement.

As of BFA there are 2 easy ways to complete this.

1: During the first phase of the instance, run around and agro zombies. First through the areas that the wave of elite zombies did not spawn, moving into the area the wave spawned. When you get to the wave single target spells to take care of them. Move to the next wave collecting zombies as you go. Rinse and repeat until you finish the first phase (10 waves of which 2 are bosses), taking care to not kill any of the zombies you have rounded up. Speak to Arthas to start the second part. Once all zombies collect on top of you, aoe them down and you should get the achievement. EZPZ

2:Clear up to the alleyway. This should not take long. Before you talk to Arthas, move into the alley and collect all the zombies all the way to the end. Serpentine! after they have grouped up on you at the end, aoe them down and the achievement will pop.

With both of these methods there will still be plenty of time left to complete the Culling of Time achievement and get your welfare drake.

I did this the other day on a 120 ret paladin.

Set your walk/run to walk. You'll lose zombies if you go to fast.
In the King's Square area there are about 14 zombies. Collect them and walk into Festival Lane where there are another 19. Walking back all the way to the statue at the end of King's Lane you'll pick up another 18. After Meathook 37 respawn in King's Square and another 26 respawn in Festival Lane.

Grand total of 114 zombies in the first area.

Be careful when fighting the scourge waves not to accidentally autoattack zombies. I used a macro '/cast crusader strike; /stopattack'. There may be a better way, and perhaps '/cast judgement; /stopattack' might have been better to give some distance. But the CD on judgement was too long in my opinion and I'd have had to use something else and I just chose to keep it simple.

1. level 120
2. Pull every single Risen Zombie, count them in your mind.
3. Advance through waves to spawn even more Risen Zombies
4. If you are sure you have 100 and over zombie following you, aoe them
5. Achievement.

Absolute easiest way to solo this achievement is to forget the timer and kill the first 2 bosses. This saves you to the instance. Go back out of the instance to reset, re-enter and continue from where you left off. Now you are in the second street with ample mobs to kill. Ignore talking to Arthas at this time. Go gather up ALL the mobs in the street and when it looks like there are none that haven't followed you - nuke'em all down. BINGO! You just got your Achievement.

Go back and talk to Arthas and finish the Instance.

Got this today on my 120 enh shaman.
I tried following some of the other comment's strategies, but couldn't get more than 50 or so zombies before fighting Chrono Lord Epoch.

An addon that comes in handy for counting them is Instance Achievement Tracker or IAT, available on curse/twitch. It'll announce in /s or /p if you're in a group whenever you get to a multiple of 10 zombies (10/100, 20/100, 100/100 etc), per below:

: Risen Zombie Counter (80/100)
: Risen Zombie Counter (90/100)
: Risen Zombie Counter (100/100)
: 100 Risen Zombies Spawned!

With that being said, the back alley gauntlet after Chrono Lord Epoch contains enough zombies to get the achievement, so just proceed normally up until Chrono Lord Epoch, tell Arthas to continue through the secret tunnel behind the bookshelf, then he'll wait at the entrance to the alley. From that point gather everything up and wait for IAT to tell you you have enough zombies, then AoE them down.

If for any reason you mess up and kill some accidentally, just wait it out for 5 minutes or so and they'll all respawn.
It goes without saying, remove any relatiatory buffs such as Lightning Shield, Thorns, Ret Aura and removing Azerite gear or anything which could damage zombies that you don't want to be damaged yet.

Good luck and enjoy your red proto drake :)

If you round up the Zombies next to Arthas, remember that he can aggro them and kill them easily, so you need to kill the Zombies pretty quickly. Arthas managed to kill couple of them, but I still got the achievement by just rounding up all the Zombies which spawn during the first gauntlet phase of the instance.

Kommentar von Malachi68

I just got this achievement using a modified version of the strategy described by topcat92 (below). A summary is as follows (my apologies for not remembering the boss names):

Clear out the first area and kill the two bosses,
Talk to Arthus and kill the third boss,
Enter the second area, Arthus will stand by the door, and round up every single, last mob in the place,
You need to go slow so that the mobs don't wander off - but when you have everyone, then kill them all quickly (AOE).

The funny thing is that I didn't get this achievement when I did what I described above. I killed the mobs and then... nothing. So I frantically ran back to Arthus and noticed a single undead mob hanging by a building. I killed it and got the achievement, which suggests that there are exactly 100 Risen Zombies in this second area.

I pulled this off yesterday on my 3rd attempt in a single run, and I did it without mods, and I thought most of the other videos/instructions weren't that clear. So here's my attempt to provide the clearest answers on this.

1. Kill the 3rd boss, Chrono-Lord Epoch
2. Arthas walks to the bottom of the secret passageway and waits for you to start the next event.
3. Ignore him.
4. Toggle your run/walk to walking, and start making your way down to the Mal'Ganis (last boss) staging area. He won't be there because you haven't activated the event yet.
5. Once you've gathered every zombie from the all (every).hit your AoE.

This is what I did and I got the achievement, even after screwing it up twice before Chrono-Lord Epoch. Good luck, and have fun.

Relevant Info:

Expansion: BFA

Kommentar von Draenoth

As lvl 60:

As stated previously, the best place might just be the alley behind the 3rd boss.

- Kill 3rd boss
- Let Arthas open the doorway behind the boss
- Don't let him start the event through the alley, but let him wait at the door
- There's exactly 100 undead in that alley, so just run through and collect all of them (sometimes they walk behind carts and whatnot)
- When you're pretty sure you've got them all AOE them down.

*If by any chance you missed one or 2, they respawn after a few minutes*

Down first two bosses without killing any zombies.
Run back around and pull all remaining zombies.
Kill off all zombies with AoE.

Kommentar von Jkizis

I just did this and its not as crazy as a lot of it here says. All I did was run to each elite/rare and target and one shot them. When the 10/10 boss comes up, round all of them up with the boss if necessary. Go to the far end and make sure you have them all. Once i did this I dragged them all to the inn picking up stragglers. If you want to be sure spend a minute going back and forth with the boss in tow. then go to the Inn, talk to Arthas but don't follow him in. Once you see all of them in the area aggro and the train of them following you catch up.. Nuke. I lost a couple to Arthas first (he will plow though one by one if he gets close)., so that's why sending him in is important. But it looked as if I had a few to spare when the achievement flashed. No need to worry about the other side or even going through the Inn at all. Good Hunting

Kommentar von xLunacyx

As others have said, simplified.
Don't worry about it, just go defeat the third boss, Chrono-Lord Epoch, Then talk to Arthas to take the secret passage but don't talk to him at the bottom.
Just pull every mob down the street without killing anything, then pop a capless AoE once there are no more mobs to pull.

Kommentar von RazorsAlt

I did this on my level 60 Pally. I ran in and kept gathering all the zombies in the first area, making sure not to kill any. Once I got to all 10 waves, I felt I had enough and got the achievement. =)

Kommentar von moonmama73

So, I literally entered the instance, kited around picking up all the zombies, killed anything that wasn't a risen zombie, took down the first boss, then didn't kill the second walked around until I had 100 zombies, killed them got the achieve then killed the 2nd boss. I did use an add on to track my progress so knew when I had 100. Hope that helps!

Kommentar von gibster99

This is pretty simple now. Enter, start the event, don't kill the risen zombies. Kill the larger Scourge waves, and kill the first 2 bosses.

The problem starts here. Gather up all the zombies but keep in mind Arthas will kill them if he is close. So you would do well to have a very high run speed. For the gauntlet between 2nd and 3rd bosses, I just ran to the end and eventually the larger mobs would spawn. I started losing zombies at this point. I got to the third boss and he wouldn't start because Arthas had to say something, but he wouldn't do it because of the zombies. So, kill the zombies. Then nuke the boss, talk to Arthas, race down to the next gauntlet, and run and gun. You should get the achiv easily.

In my experience, as of 10.0.2, there were exactly 100 Risen Zombie NPCs in the final alley of the dungeon. My advice is to run the dungeon as normal until you defeat Chronolord Epoch. Kill as many zombies before that as you like, it doesn't matter at all. When defeating Epoch, speak to Arthas to open the hidden passage, and this is where the achievement stuff starts. After exiting the secret passage, DO NOT talk to Arthas. The alley ahead has, as stated, exactly 100 risen zombies, and he will kill some if the next part of his dialogue is engaged in.

Instead, run down the alley, either (on a fast character, if you're brave) AoE-ing all of them down on your way, OR (if you're playing it safe) make sure to pull -every single mob- in the alley. The npcs that aren't risen zombies will have a higher movement speed and -at the end of the alley- be well ahead of the risen zombies. You can kill them off if you're certain there are no zombies among them, but it's not required. If you're 100% sure you've pulled every mob in the alley, AoE them down with 1 spell and you should have the achievement. If not, check if you missed any at all on the way through the alley. It happened to me the first attempt, where I killed 99 and found 1 straggler at the entrance. If this happens and the minute expires, simply leave and re-enter the dungeon, they will respawn so long as mal'ganis is still alive.

This method is much easier than doing guesswork in the area where you kill the 1st and 2nd boss, as it is easy to overestimate the amount of zombies pulled, and the last area has exactly enough.
