Finally they made that reference :D

Kommentar von Solarflair

I heard you like amber, so I put some Living Amber in your Burning Amber, so you can overlap with some sap.

This achievement was very easy. The pools don't have to be directly stacked, they can be just touching each other.

Kommentar von clippingalldots

We managed to get this achiev on our last kill. It is quite simple.

Our raid composition was:

Prot Warrior
Blood DK
Holy Paladin
Mistweaver Monk
Disc Priest
Shadow Priest
Affliction Warlock
Elemental Shaman
Arcane Mage
Balance Druid.

Here are some tips on how we did it:

Use a raid marker to let ppl know roughly where they should kill the oozes. As Magicmoose said, they do not have to be perfctly stacked up, as long as they are touching each other you are good to go.

We did not stack on the mark and AoE the oozes down. Whenever an ooze dies, it will heal the nearby oozes, You don't want that. You want to kill one at a time to avoid that. They do not hit very hard, even on cloth weares so they shouldn't be a huge concern to the heal through.

Be very careful how you stack the oozes. standing on a pool damages you. The more pools you have, the higher is your damage taken. Be mindful on how you position yourself.

In the last phase, consuming the pools DOES NOT fail the achievement. In fact, on our kill we ran out pools to keep the constructs alive

Hope this helps and good luck :)

Kommentar von Keasha

... so I put myself into Ancient Amber, so I can overlap with your Amber Pools while I kill the Amber Shaper.

Kommentar von 1035533

If you're trying to do this on heroic (with T16 gear) so you don't need to come back another week, you will actually want to start eating pools right away.

We left the first wave of ambers up, then stacked up after the 2nd amber scalpel and aoed them down. Raid was kept alive with Führung der Ahnen + chain lightning, and Machtwort: Barriere.

The trick to keeping raid dmg down to manageable levels was to leave a DPS in a construct, eating pools so they wouldn't dissolve back into adds. We still had plenty of pools / adds when we did get to phase3. I stacked Bernstoß on the boss while the monstrosity was out (phase2), same as people did at the time.

With people in ilvl 575 doing about 2 or 3x the dps of people in T14, saving pools for all the MCs you'll have in phase3 was a non-issue. I ate pools before my Will was even down below 50 (it restores 50 on heroic, 20 on norm/lfr), just to get them eaten. Keeping a DPS in a construct full-time in this phase, eating pools and stacking the debuff on the boss, is probably the best strat for a raid that outgears the encounter.

We popped hero right at the start of phase3. Construct DPS doesn't scale with gear as well as your class abilities, so except for stacking the dmg taken debuff, it's actually a personal DPS loss to be in a construct these days.

The adds dying in melee with everyone stacked up for heals in phase3 was doing a lot of damage. Keeping the adds in check by keeping a DPS mutated from phase2 onward made things so much easier than when we were trying to brute force things with more or less exactly how we used to do the fight on normal. (our T14 heroic progression was worse than our current T16 progression.) I'd imagine this strat would still have made for an easy kill with many fewer ilvls on most of the raid.

You'll still have problems if people let the amber globules hit them, instead of each other, but we only got one round.

Kommentar von Vrethsov

As of 6.0.2 this achievement is near impossible as Blizzard forgot to scale the Mutated Construct, meaning even if your gear is way normal SoO you still won't have the DPS to free your tanks.

Kommentar von Whitecrits

I just two manned this with a 731 ret paladin and a 715 MM hunter. Have the lower of the 2 dps go all out and always keep agro on the boss so they are the one who gets tranformed (usually...), then the better dps can break him out. At around 70%, the big monstrosity will come out, and this needs to die right after someone is broken out of the transformation. If you kill the monstrosity thing while someone is still transformed, killing the boss is very difficult. It took us a few tries but once we made it to the last phase with both of us alive, it was a very easy burn. Each wave of oozes seemed to produce 4 oozes, make sure to use a marker to know where you want to stack them. We made sure to do 3 waves of 4 oozes also to make sure we got the achievment.

Kommentar von 264705

Just completed this achievement with a 740 WW monk and a 729 Blood DK. On pull the blood DK popped all offensive cooldowns and burned down the boss while the Monk auto attacked, waiting for the DK to get transformed. We remained stacked so that the Ambers spawning from the scalpel would spawn and die together from cleave. Once the DK got transformed the Monk blew all CDs to break him out as fast as possible while ignoring the Monstrosity until the boss casts Amber Scalpel again. Once the boss cast Amber Scalpel for the second time we had 8 pools stacked and quickly blew up the Monstrosity and the boss, remember that you can track the achievement and once the text turns white you're good to go.

A lot of our failed attempts were due to underestimating the amount of damage that comes out so make sure whoever is in charge of bursting the monstrosity has plenty of self healing. Also, if someone gets transformed after you have the 8 pools and the monstrosity is dead, you can have them spam 1 on the boss for the stacking damage debuff and just tunnel the boss, just make sure if self healing is an issue that the monstrosity presses 2 when he starts exploding!
and don't use Touch of Death on your transformed friend even if you do get Honor Points

Kommentar von 225109

Just got this achievement. It's eaiser than you think; if you're having trouble, it's more about coordination and strath issue than the gear check one.

I did this on 10N as a 705 WW Monk(main target), my partner 710 Enh Shammy(2nd target). We both were pvp geared, versatility oriented, stat not optimized. Having one sturdy, with strong burst, class seems essential. We broke our trinket 2 pc bonus (15% dmg reduction from players) just in case.

Here's a few tips/summary of the boss encounter for your new comers to this raid.

1. The boss will cast amber beam on his main aggro target. This inflicts you with noticeable dmg. Dodge it but don't run around like a maniac. Take about 1 tick dmg then move one step at a time.

2. She will summon ooze, which is your main focus regarding this achviement. Once you kill the ooze, they will become a puddle. You have to make 8 overlapping puddle to get the achievement. This doesn't seem to cause you dmg so step around all you want.

3. There are total of 3 phases.
Phase 1: She casts amber beam, summons ooze, cast transform on the main aggro target.

what is transform? You will become a amber monster. You will have 50 energy. When your energy becomes 0, you will die. You want your partner to reduce your health to 20%, then you can break free of this form(will explain more below) Once you are transformed, the boss will drop aggro and attack your partner. But if your partner is dead and the boss attacks you, her melee hits will reduce your energy by 40. You do not want this, so both of you staying alive is crucial.
You will have 4 skill buttons like you're riding on a vehicle. Only 1, 2, 4 are notable.
-1: strong attack and it leaves a +10% dmg debuff on the target.
-2: When you are transformed, you have full control of the amber monster but it will sometimes cast amber explosion. Clicking 2 interupts that and let's you take 100% more dmg for 4 sec.
-3: consumes the puddle, heals you for a ton and gain 20 energy(will power). This skill wasn't affected by stat squish so if you use this, you're partner will not be able to take you down. You won't need this on phase 1 and 2. Use this on phase 3 if your energy bar(will power) becomes too low.
-4: breaks free of the amber monster form when below 20%
You will use 1 on the boss during phase 1 and 3. On phase 2, you will use 1 on the amber giant (will explain below). Mind the debuff time (4 sec) and spam this so that your partner have a eaiser time breaking you free. Use 4 once you reach 20% hp.

Phase 2: Once she reaches 70% hp, she will summon an amber giant. She uses same skill.
Phase 3: When the amber giant dies, she will go to the middle. She will hit harder and cast transform more often. This is your all-in phase. Use lust* Buy the drum if you have to.

4. Amber giant hits quite hard on phase 2, and shorter transform cooldown and stronger dmg on phase 3 are nuts. You have to set everything on phase 1.

5. Weaker dps should take primary aggro, so that he can become the transformee. Partner should still auto attack the boss. If he doesn't, it seems like the boss will cast transform on him even though he is not the primary aggro holder. His job is to kill the ooze on the same spot. Only move when it is necessary. Main target, only move when the boss cast amber beam. 2nd target, kill ooze.
Don't burn the boss down below 70% until you have at least 6-7 puddle overlap. This is because you want everything prepared before you hit phase 2.

6. Main target will be transformed at least once during phase 1. Click '1' on boss, Click '2' for dmg debuff, 100% uptime. 2nd target should burn you down. Click '4' when below 20%. You will regain your aggro. Drop the boss hp below 70%, go to phase 2.

7. Boss will summon amber giant. 2nd target should burn the giant down. Cleave the ooze. As you already had 6-7 puddle, you will easily reach 8 puddle this way. The achievement tracker (click checkbox on achievement) should go white. Main target should be transformed again. Click '1' on giant. 100% uptime on '2'. 2nd target, burn you down. '4' when below 20%. You might not have retained aggro at this time. Kill the giant. Phase 3 begins.

8. Go all out, lust, cooldowns. If the weaker dps has taunt, use taunt so that you will become the transformee. You will be transformed, this time don't bother breaking free. Spam '1' on boss. Both dps the boss. If the transformee becomes low on energy bar(will power), click '3' to gain will power (I didn't have to use it).

That's how I got the achievement. I was the weaker dps so I was holding aggro on the boss the whole time and getting transformed.
Hope you understood it all. Go get that achivement!

Kommentar von toppjubei

This achievement cannot be solo'd. At 110 take a friend. Do not dps the boss in phase 1 until you have 8 pools overlapping. Click "track" on the achievement so it will alert you (by turning white) that the criteria are met. Then zerg the boss. When one of you is transformed, the other must DPS you down to about 20% until you can press button 4 to break free. Don't consume any amber when transformed.

Kommentar von Zarasz

We tried it today. My warlock and a rogue. My voidwalker tanked and we randomly got the mutation. I couldnt burn down the rogue and we sometimes just died instantly after transformation and we couldnt see why. I know the mutated player has limited time but death after 2 seconds seems to be a bug. After several attempts we gave up and just killed the boss.

Kommentar von 1455595

we love glory of the pandaria raider

Kommentar von SoulsaltsMJK

I just did this with my husband on Normal Mode. While we were both transformed, we still made sure to keep the puddles stacked and then nuked the boss with the first button on the vehicles action bar. Worked like a charm. I strongly believe that you can complete it like that on Heroic Mode too, though don't hold me to that. Goodluck to everyone still trying to complete this achievement!

Kommentar von Aknazer

I just solo'd this as a 110 Enh shaman in 8.0.1 and wearing Prydaz (Shaman Pants might also be useful since they heal you while standing still) on 25H mode. I'm stating my leggo use in case the shield was what saved me but I expect this to still work at 120 with leggos disabled. I killed the Amber until the achievement went white (when tracking it's red until 8 pools are touching) and then proceeded to attack the boss. When the large add spawned I turned to him and killed him (the first time I ignored him and he ended up picking me up and resetting the fight). Once the add was dead I went back to killing the boss.

Note that I was transformed the whole time for the fight. I very quickly lost all off my energy due to being attacked but it didn't really matter. The Amber Explosion did no damage and I could still white attack and use the first ability on the bar. Thus I just white attacked Living Amber while using the ability on CD on the boss (or the large add while he was up). Overall it was easy and anyone looking to solo this should be able to replicate this at 110+

EDIT: Per zeeno Hunters will want to make sure they have a melee weapon equipped or else they won't be able to white attack while transformed.

Kommentar von irislucas

i just did this on o 110 rogue.
go 25 normal
get to boss hit once
whem 4 living amber apear before u turn, kill them
u will turn and short after 4 more amber apear kill one by one, track achiv turn white
kill boss

Kommentar von kato1212

I have tried this achievement today om my frost mage and it's doable with just your water elemental active.

In phase one only kill the adds that spawn(stacked so you will get the 8 puddles overlapt) and when you change in to the monster just stand in the puddles till you can break free, repeat until your achievement turns white and then kill the boss

easy :D

Kommentar von Ogrot

I cannot seem to solo this on my Hunter in any spec, with or without a pet summoned. The transformation after the first wave of adds insta-kills me, no matter what I do.

Kommentar von ns88

Avoid attempting this alltogether. I was attempting as of early BFA and lvl 120 and got stuck. As you're in fight you cannot hs or unstuck, and relogging didnt work either. Since you cant die and cant kill boss either, this causes and endless loop of stuck, had to contact blizz support (via website) in order to get my character moved. I was stuck for over 30 minutes.

Kommentar von Scek

Soloed 10 minutes ago (after 1 failed attempt and a dc):

- Let the boss transform you, don't even try to free yourself.
- Kill the living ambers from the second spawn right clicking them to autoattack one-shoot them, or use Amber Strike, it's the same (but has CD).
(clearly you want them to overlap, so don't move at all)
- Kill the other Mutated Construct the boss spawns (optional, it bodered me).

- Bring the boss to 70% till he calls the Amber Monstrosity. (P2)
- Burn down the Amber Monstrosity right clicking it (autoattack) and using Amber Strike on CD. (important part, don't let it grab and toss you)

- The boss goes to phase 3: burn him down.
- Achievement.

Kommentar von ossiferdown

alright, so having done this on my 110 shaman just now and using the comments below, i'm not sure why Xavarics Magnum Opus worked in beating this boss. while the absorb shield prevents you from taking any damage, you still lose willpower.

willpower is a special resource you have as a mutated construct that starts at 100 and automatically kills you when it reaches 0. when amber-shaper melees you, you lose 40 willpower per strike so you die without prydaz on at 3 melee attacks from the boss, but even having the amulet on reduces your willpower...you just don't die for some reason.

using that logic before i did this, i figured my 120 warlock using Hallender Schutz would work the same, but for some reason he died and the shield made no difference. if you're gonna solo this, your only option seems to be using prydaz.

edit: i should note that on my warlock the shield was not even close to being depleted when i died, so it's not like the absorb shield being gone was the culprit.

Kommentar von Vintoleth2007

SOLOED this last night as ASSASSIN ROGUE. ilvl 355~ lvl 120.
as you are in the vehicle amber, this can be used by ANY class at 120.
obviously i did not have the lego neck like other strat's say cause i was above 115.

The strat i used was:
1) let the first wave of 4 amber's spawn. don't kill them
2) you get turned into the vehicle amber
3) next wave of 4 amber's spawn. position all 8 on top of each other and kill them 1 by 1 with AUTO-ATTACKS. so you will need to click on each amber and auto attack it.
4) attack the boss with auto attacks when you can.
5) when the massive amber add comes out, switch to him asap! kill him with the number 1 actionbar key, and auto attacks. 3 attacks from the no 1 key will kill him before he grabs you and despawns the boss.
6) kill the boss with auto attacks and the first ability on the action bar.

played the game for 11 years but only made an account today cause of how annoying these 2 achievs are. i also have given a strat for the next boss after this: Timing is Everything

the quick killing of the massive amber may be to do with my high item lvl but i would guess that anyone 320+ should be able to do the same damage. also, like mentioned, have the achievment tracked so you know when 8 ambers have been registered on top of each other.

you will know when he is about to spawn ambers as he says something, i believe it is "watch your step". you will know on 2nd wave that you can start killing ambers then without risk of pools despawning.

Kommentar von NinjaFlibble

I was able to solo this as a 120/360 rogue with Resounding Protection trait (and talented into Cheat Death, in case that helped). Did it on 10N. Just use the number 1 ability when you need to hit something

Kommentar von AwScz

Blood DK solo level 120. Respec your talents to: will of the necropolis and purgatory. Take off any equipment with AoE. You need to be a class (tank) with some sort of passive protection ability.

1, Aggro boss without damaging him
2, Kill four yellow ooze on the same place to overlap - one by one by auto attack
3, The boss will transform you and take all your energy - you should survive thanks to passive protection
4, Kill another four ooze on the same place as before - use first ability
5, Damage the boss to 50% - use first ability
6, Kill giant ASAP - use first ability
7, Go and kill boss

Kommentar von Rasztra

Easily soloable at 120, done as Demon Hunter in tank spec.

0. Shift+click to track the achievement. Don't kill the boss until it turns white.
1. Engage boss, and just stand there. Don't attack him.
2. When the Ambers spawn, kill them all in one place. NOTE: When you are transformed into the creature, don't use abilities on the Ambers. They won't count. Just auto-attack 8 of them until they all die in the same place.
3. The achievement will turn white. Start attacking the boss. Only use ability #1 on cooldown.
4. A monstrosity will spawn. Kill it. Only use ability #1 on cooldown.
5. Back to boss. Auto-attack and ability #1 until dead.

Kommentar von Rotatopotato

I'm attempting this achievement as I type this and trying to auto-attack the living amber like everyone has said but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm not sure if it's a bug because all my auto attacks are just "missing" the living amber, they only take damage from my ability.

Edit: Wiped to Berserk, time to try again

Kommentar von Furian2297

If you happen to be a warlock like me, use Unending Resolve just before he turns you into the monster.
DBM doesn't tell you when it's coming so you'll have to time it.
If you don't manage; Just waste an attempt to count how long it takes before he does it, and next time you know.

Kommentar von rufus069

I don't know how people can solo this. I go on my Prot Pally, pop all my CDs before he turns me into the monstrosity....doesn't matter, he kills me instantly anyway. Done over 12 times and have zero luck....any suggestions?

Kommentar von lowerdfool

I was able to solo this today as a 120 BM hunter (ilvl 393) on Normal.

I quipped a polearm (or any melee) weapon, and used a spirit beast pet for spirit mend ability. I also have a macro to target self with spirit mend, although I'm not sure if that is necessary.

-I started the attack on the boss with only a few auto attacks, then stopped damage. Pet also set to passive.
-Wait for living amber spawns, then target them, and kill them all stacked up in one spot.
-Then I stood there waiting to be turned into an amber monstrosity. Right before the bosses cast goes off, I used my pet to spirit mend. Kill the other spawn using ability 1.
-Next you stack up the other 4 living amber spawns on top of the other 4, which you can auto attack and use ability 1 only.
-Once those are dead kill the boss and anything else that spawns using auto attack and ability 1 and you are done.

I'm not sure you need the spirit mend, but after reading through many people having been one shot once turning into the amber monstrosity, I tried it. My current health pool is 208k, armor is 2,926. Hopefully this helps those wanting this achievement.

Kommentar von rzzr

Managed to solo this probably more by luck than anything else. I had read all the comments but for me auto-attack just didn't work, when I was transformed I just stood there not attacking anything. After a while I thought I would hit the boss as he was still at 100% and nearly killed him! Anyway I then noticed that button 4 was available, so I pushed hit it and went back to my DK, one swipe and the ach went white then killed the boss. Not sure why I was able to push it either.
This ach is a complete pain as I had tried a number of times before, You really need a plate wearer to make it easier. Not sure why it worked this time, I dismissed my pet (am UH) instead of putting it on passive, maybe that helped but I am not going back to find out!

Kommentar von applebear

I would have liked to solo/complete this on my hunter, but for whatever reason...as soon as I was transformed, I was instantly killed. I tried using different weapons, no pet/with pet, shield/no shield. Even naked. Didn't matter, instant death.

Ran through on my pally and used the same solo methods as suggested above...no problem. Finished the achievement. There does seem to be an issue with the hunter soloing this at this time .

Edit: I did end up getting this achievement on my hunter by going with a friend , who basically followed my instructions on how to complete it. Amusing enough, it still transformed and killed me immediately...but, I got the achievement in death after friend completed the objective for us. lol

Kommentar von Foggy85

You need to have powerful defensive cooldowns to mash right before you get transformed or you will get 1-shot. Save this achievement for tank specs for the least stressful method. I did this with a 120 guardian druid and even after popping Survival instincts (50% damage reduction) and being in bear form (+220% armor, +45% stamina) his transformation took me to about 25% health.

Also make sure you do not have talents selected that do splash damage (i.e. Galactic Guardian).

Kommentar von Shanksor

Ok, I have never had an issue like this with any acheive I have done. I had no issue with dying after the transform or anything like that. I used my pet and did a mend pet before the change but even still I kept at over 70k health while in the amber shape but that's besides the point. I stacked the 4 amber up and killed them and then killed 4 more on the same spot after changing without the acheive changing to white. So I kept on going probably murdering over 100 of those ambers all on top of each other using button 1. My combat logs shows them all dying so where is my acheive at ? I did what it says and killed 8 amber while changed so that the pools overlapped ? I am going to retry it again on normal if I can later. Also I do have about a 35k absord due to resounding protection so that may be why I never died, just thinking.

Kommentar von George14

23rd November 2019 - Just did it, fresh level 110 warlock, no pet.

Aggro the boss, wait to be transformed, bind Interact with Target to a button on your keyboard somewhere, wait for Living Ambers to gather, kill until achievement becomes white, then kill boss. I do not know why others had issue with this, maybe because I had Resounding Protection? It was very easy.

Kommentar von Omegawhale

Did this solo as 120 on the 12.01.20 in BFA on 8.2.5

A lot of people in the comments seem to have issues with this achievement or say it can't be done solo.

Just pull the boss wait until you have at least 8 of the amber adds then just nuke them close to each other.
You get transformed into some sort of golden thing with a few skills. Spam skill 1 on the boss until he is dead.
The transformation stops as soon as you kill every mob left from the encounter.

I would recommend to shift click the achievement.
Once the requirements are complete the text turns from red to white so you know when to nuke the boss.

Kommentar von Ajfree

Thoughts after soloing as hunter: I believe Resounding Protection azerite trait is what kept me alive. I could be wrong, but I was one shot while attempting to solo before. Wait until 8 amber spawn, then kill them on top of each other. If you are transformed, simply press 1 to kill them, using the same button to kill the boss after.

Kommentar von IngExe

I think it is worth mentioning that Living Amber "respawn" 30 seconds after you kill it. I couldn't manage to kill 8 of them in under 30 seconds because of the 6 sec cooldown on first ability you have when transphormed. In my opinion, soloing this is a lot easier on normal difficulty.

Quote from wowpedia: In Heroic difficulty, dissolved Living Amber will reconstitute after 30 seconds.

Kommentar von Lhores

Kommentar von dawn22868

Did this first try on my lvl 50 mage in the Shadowlands patch (25 normal). I recommend using Instance Achievement Tracker.

1. Stand in one place (in front of the boss) and pull the boss. Don't move around.
2. Kill the first few living ambers (3) with single-target abilities. Once again, don't move.
3. When the boss transforms you, kill the big amber that comes towards you using melee attacks or your first ability.
4. The boss will run to the center of the room and do stuff. Just stand where you are and kill the other ambers with melee attacks (5).
5. Soon the addon will tell you that the criteria is met and the boss safe to kill.

Kommentar von beebo211847

only spawned 3 ambers so I waited 5-10 minutes and they didn't spawn any more and I don't really know why

Kommentar von Wulfovo

If you are still standing (like me),
and still nothing is happening (like to me),
one minute, second minute, third minute...

If you did not known it... (like me),
autoatack is not automatic, you must right click the mobs.

Kommentar von Taalmisbruik

Tried this achievement numerous times and last time I stacked 14 mobs on top to make sure it was properly done. Still didn't get the achievement. Anyone else have these problems?

Kommentar von Moin

Still easy to solo.
Pull Bernformer Un'sok without killing him.
Wait for 8 Lebendiger Bern to spawn.
You will become Mutiertes Konstrukt meanwhile.
Move a bit, so that all ambers are on the same spot.
Kill everthing with just auto attacks. Boss last.
