Das goldene Ei spawnt etwa 15 Sekunden nach Kampfbeginn knapp neben dem vierten Nest (das Nest oberhalb des ersten) und beginnt dann ziemlich schnell nach unten zu fallen.

Man muss also im ersten Nest eine Feder holen und je nachdem wie schnell man dabei ist noch ein paar Sekunden unten abwarten bevor man nach oben fliegt und das goldene Ei im Fall auffängt. Es genügt durch das Ei zu fliegen, man muss es nicht anklicken. Sobald man das Ei aufgefangen habt verschwindet der Federbuff und man beginnt in die Tiefe zu fallen. Wenn Ihr einen Priester in der Gruppe habt dann positioniert diesen zu Kampfbeginn am Rand unterhalb von Nest vier, damit er den fallenden Eierträger zurück auf die Plattform ziehen kann.

Von jetzt an darf der jenige mit dem goldenen Ei keinerlei Fähigkeiten mehr verwenden, nicht durch den Abwind in die Tiefe fallen und außer durch die "Federkiele" auch keinen Schaden abbekommen.

P.S. Es wäre noch zu erwähnen das man als Eierträger einen Extra Actionbutton bekommt mit dem man das Ei auf einen anderen Spieler weiterwerfen kann. Das ist nur interessant wenn Euch der Priester fehlt, da der Eierwurf eine kurze Castzeit hat und man das Ei bei bewegten Zielen auch vorbei schmeißen kann. Sicherer ist es einen Spieler den ganzen Kampf mit dem Ei umherlaufen zu lassen und dabei Schaden zu vermeiden.

No one has this achievement yet in the world, as of 4/2/13.

/target Golden Egg does not yield a targetable object.

With the feather buff flying to the upper and lower areas, there was not an object that resembled anything close to a Golden Egg.

Based on the wording of the achievement, this appeared to be a Tsulong achievement 2.0. Does anyone have any other information?

Kommentar von zzsdkzz

I do wonder..

The achievement name isn't on accident. Could there be a Golden Egg up top that gets blown off during the first Down-Draft? Or maybe down below? Maybe on one of the nooks? I'll try to look closer during this week's reset.

Kommentar von Shinijumi

Some posts on the official WoW forums mention seeing a different color of egg in one of the nests (note: Not the easter-egg colors currently found there for Noblegarden), suggesting that this is a 'speed kill' achievement to destroy the boss before that nest is set to hatch.

It's also possible that this is a one-shot-a-week thing, but obviously that's unconfirmed till we find the egg for sure.

Kommentar von 496978

Isn't there a nest at the very far top of the room? Not the 3 upper nests near the entrance, not the one over the middle, but another FURTHER up nest. There may be a Golden Egg there, which is not inherantly a targettable object (like a mining node).

My only other speculation is that there may be a similarly untargettable Golden Egg in one of the lower nests which is destroyed by Feed Young during the fight, and requires players to intercept all the volleys toward that platform.

At the very least, these ideas might be worth examining. /shrug

A quick update as to what is known at this time:

According to an MMO-Champion thread (currently found here), the achievement has now been acquired by one raid group - Set Sail for Fail, EU-Lothar. The screenshots in said thread give an interesting indicator: The golden egg is being carried, and the carrier is one of the people with a 'flight' buff.

While the poster is being a touch coy, the hint they offer is "Watch the upper nest near the first nest."

Short Brainstorming Analysis:
Given the clues above: Odds are good the golden egg spawns near the start of the fight in this out-of-the-way location. Someone has to get the feather-flight buff, head up to the spawn location, and pick it up. Unknown at this point what all can break the egg.

Possibilities for causing egg-breakage:
The carrier dying. If this doesn't break it, the wording of the achievement combined with the egg being carry-able suggests it could be blown off the edge on its own if not being currently held. This would also explain why previous attempts to find the egg mid-fight failed - it fell and vanished after the first Downdraft.
The egg having its own lifebar to heal up, breaking when it reaches zero, a la Tsulong's tree achievement.
The carrier being blown off the edge while holding the egg.
The carrier taking too much damage in a single blow, requiring cooldowns on them during quills, perhaps (seems less likely, but I wouldn't put it past Blizzard).

The first two seem the most likely, to me. In any case, with this initial bit of guidance, hopefully multiple raid groups can give it a shot this week and report back on their findings. Also report on whether the egg spawns each pull or is a one-shot thing each week, if possible.

The Chinese guild 炼狱 also completed the achiv...puls Meta and mount
so it must be done some way.
Looks like we have to learn chinese to get more info :/

Source: cant posts links here, but news are on mmochamps mainpage :)

EDIT:
New information came up:

What causes the egg to break:
-the carrier dies
-falling down after catching it
-falling down during down draft
-being hit by Caw
-being hit by Cheep of the Fledgling (the fed hatchling thing)

What does not break the egg:
-green food voids
-Quills

Kommentar von Shisais

First of all, this is not a first try only achievement.

The achievement basically consists of two parts.

1) Getting the egg

The golden egg spawns on the fourth nest, as seens on the screenshot (http://imgur.com/kOuynUY), about 15 seconds in the fight.
It first gains some altitude, then dropps down quite fast. (http://imgur.com/YGNO5Db)

In order to get it, you have to burn down the first set of hatchlings as fast as possible. At least one player has to fly to the nest above and catch the egg by flying right through it. The instant he catches the egg, his feather buff is removed and he will start to fall down.
He gets a new ability with which he can throw the egg at a near location. It's a skill shot with a rather short area.
You need to aim it at one of your raid members on the platform. (Note: you can also just lifegrip the egg carrier)

Once you got the egg on the platform, the second part begins.

2) Keeping the egg intact

The egg breaks if one of the following happens:

- The egg carrier dies
- The egg carrier casts an ability other than the throw he gets for having the egg
- You throw the egg on a positon where no one is able to catch it
- The egg carrier is damaged by anything but Quills or the green voidzones
- The egg carrier falls off the platform.

So, the egg carrier needs to dodge Caw everytime. This shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Furthermore, the egg needs to stay on the platform during Down Draft. Since you cannot use any speed up abilities
yourself, you may have to pass the egg to another raid member.

It's also important, that the lower nests are cleared quite fast. While Hatchlings attack their current target with
Cheep, Fledgelings will attack a random target. However, it seems that Fledgelings will always target the egg carrier
but that may not be true.
The difficult part about this is when the next round of nests start. Since you cleared the first nest as fast as
possible, there will be food left. You need to burn down the hatchlings, maybe send some more people or use CDs.

Juveniles may also destroy the egg but we never had any up.

Our tactic:

We sent four people to clear the first nest, supported by some ranged that casted from the platform. All four people
took their feather and flew to the upper nest to catch the egg. The one who actually got the egg was lifegripped and
passed the egg to our shaman in spirit wolf. Note that the egg slows you by 30%, so spirit wolf almost negates this.

To avoid Ji-Kun's abilities, the shaman stood at the outer side of the platform. Before Down Draft was casted, he moved closer to Ji-Kun and we placed some Angelic Feathers behind him, which kept him easily on the platform.

We used heroism right before the next round of nests started. This way the Fledgelings died before they casted Cheep.

While this may not be the easiest way to gain the achievement, it certainly negates some of the problems you might face.

Good luck to everyone!

Me and my guild <Hell> on US blackrock did this last night on 6/1 however there must be an achievement bug as of 5.3. We were doing a run to get achieves and spent quite alot of time on getting this achieve and there were 3 people dead at the end, me, a tank and our warlock. None of us got the achieve but the other 7 people who were alive in our raid did. We then went on to the achieve on durumu and sure enough 2 people were dead and they didn't get theirs either. Currently awaiting response on my ticket.

Kommentar von vivie

The buff for carrying the egg is Zart und doch hart

We were able to visually confirm that our monks' Chi Wave bounces were causing our carrier to lose the egg, even though the egg is not targetable.

Kommentar von MuriloNZ

Got this by following the basic method Shisais described, only took an hour or so of trying. We used a feral in cat instead of a ghost wolf shaman, worked about the same.

The only real concerns for the egg carrier are Caw and Down Draft, Caw should be easy to dodge as long as they keep moving when he casts it, and are near the outer edge of the platform. Angelic Feathers work awesome for down draft, as does Tigers Lust from a monk. Otherwise just give the egg carrier room and kill as normal. GL all.

Kommentar von 47980

Many people have over-thought this achievement. This is one of the easiest achievements in the meta and is definitely 1-shot-able.

<Shade of Arrows> completed Soft Hands by having the egg carrier drop down onto the first nest and staying there for the duration of the fight. You can watch and read how this works in detail in this video HERE.

Using this method, your egg carrier bypasses having to deal with Down Draft, Caw, and Feed Pools.

Kommentar von regginbackwards

Went on a achievent run with my guild tonight and bumped in to some issues here tonight.

We had our ele shaman pop ghost wolf then fly up and catch the egg, this went fine, he'd run around and do nothing the entire fight, and then as soon as he got hit by anything (green pools/quills) he would drop the egg, and we couldn't figure out why, we whiped like 6 times because of it, we thought it had something to do with maybe body and soul / priest shields or even priest feathers... couldn't figure out for the world what the problem was.

Then at one point someone noticed he had damage done on every attempt, it was his lightning shield, so yeah, if you're gonna have a shaman do the job, make sure he takes off his lightning shield.

So basically what you do on the achievement: send down 2-3 dps on first platform, nuke the living &*!@ out of those birds, 1 flies up, catches egg, gets gripped on to main platform, runs around and if needed gets gripped in to middle of platform during quills, watches out for caw while the rest of the group goes ham and makes sure no juveniles spawn (if they hit the egg-carrier it will be dropped).

Only damage sources that wont make the egg dropp: Quills & green pools.

Good luck on your achievement!

(We 1-shot it as soon as we realized lightning shield was the issue).

Kommentar von Tente

Looks like the caster DPS legendary cloak breaks the egg if the carrier get any damage

Kommentar von jameshunter

damn! did this tonight and have screen shots of our team carrying the egg intact after killing ji-Kun and we didn't get it

Kommentar von thanyou

As of WoD, this is still an attainable achievement, and possible with a small group. I got this achievement just now with a group of

Enhance Shaman (Me), Brewmaster Tank, Fire Mage, Resto Shaman.

Its also important to note that the following strategy took upwards of 2 hours to completely get air tight, so this strategy definitely works.

Our strategy was to have the Enh Shaman and the Mage start at the first nest, kill the nest asap, get a feather, Slowfall the Enh Shaman and move into position for the egg to drop. You don't have to activate the feather and move until Ji-Kun casts Caw, because the egg spawns the first time Ji-Kun casts Caw.

The Slowfall is necessary, and helped with the next step of tossing the egg while falling to the Resto Shaman who was at the edge ready to catch it. The Shaman caught it, got a slowfall from the Mage, and fell down to the first nest and sat there for the entire fight. The mage dps'd the boss only, and the Enh Shaman cleared the nests so cheep wouldn't potentially hit the Resto Shaman carrying the egg.

This strategy forgoes the need of avoiding Caw, as it never targeted any player in a nest, as well as Down Draft. He did still eat every Quills, so it is a bit of a dps race.

Good Luck everyone!

Proof: Holding the darling egg close, before it disappeared.

Kommentar von Joseko

As of WoD, I was able to 4-man this achievement, our comp was: Brewmaster Monk (me), Frost DK, Arcane Mage and a Disc Priest.

Everybody but the priest jumped to the first nest, and the priest started the fight and tanked Ji-Kun for about 10-15 secs until we got everything set up.

The first nest was killed instantly, then the mage and DK got to the main platform while I flew to grab the egg, mage took over tanking Ji-Kun, while our priest got close to the edge and life-gripped me back to the main platform; then we had our DK activate his (glyphed) Path of Frost, I threw the egg to him and he proceeded to jump down to the first nest, there, he didn't have to worry about Downdraft or Caw.

Then I'd taunt and tank the boss, while our mage flew around killing the adds in the nests. Occasionally, our priest had to get down to the nest with the egg carrier to top him off, since he will still be taking damage from Quills. At about 30% our mage landed, popped lust and burned down the boss.

Good luck with the achievement! Hope this helped you out.

Kommentar von Alistair590

Did it today with a full 10man raid of lvl 100 without a priest. Just have a mage and any other class that knows how to catch the egg to do the dirty work for you! Begin the preparations by having those two only, stand on the first nest that needs clearing before the boss is pulled and then have the rest of your raid start the encounter and nuke as fast as they can Ji-Kun. The dps won't be enough for Ji-Kun to die before the guy that is responsisble for the egg catches it. Have the mage fly and follow the egg guy at all time and spam slow fall to him before and after he catches the egg, hopefully the dps will be fast enough to kill Ji-Kun before the egg guy reaches the "abyss" that teleports you back up. If for whatever reason the egg breaks have the egg guy spam with a macro "STOP, EGG BROKE" and wipe it. It would be preferable to catch the egg as high as possible (we caught it almost at the height of the platform, was very risky but we managed it).

Kommentar von Viteh

With 6.2 gear it's possible to kill the boss before the egg drops (on 10man). If you need some extra time, a class than can use some sort of slow fall can cast it on themselves right before catching the egg, delaying the fall. I did this today on H10 as a Priest, while 8 people DPS the boss. We got the achievement shortly after I caught the egg and began to fall slowly.

Kommentar von ktoth04

You can kill Ji-kun before the egg falls, but you WILL NOT get the achievement. Someone has to catch the egg.

Someone has to catch the egg or you will not get it, so you cannot nuke him before it drops.(##RESPBREAK##)520##DELIM##Pegasus2141##DELIM##

Kommentar von kevoras

Did this achievement as a balance druid and a warrior. Moonkin can use Wild Charge to jump back at the platform after catching the egg, it doesn't break it. Warrior used pot, ring, drums and bursted the boss down even before she managed to cast first Caw at the egg carrier.

Kommentar von Mykee

I did this today, with a 4 men group. Our tactics were the following:
At the start of the fight, one man jump down to the first platform, dealt with the adds and cought the egg mid-flight. The priest (me) pulled him with Glaubenssprung to the boss, and he immediately passed the egg to me. I jumped down the first platform, so I could stay out of all the damage the boss did.
With full CD-s, the boss died before it cast Caw again (This is the only part where you need ilvl/high DPS).
Important note, as others already mentioned, you are NOT allowed to cast any spell, otherwise the egg's gonna break.
A few wipes may appear as you need to position good to catch the egg, but that's the hardest part, the nuke is much more easier.
An image about the achievement is here .

Kommentar von Boyma

Did this today as a hunter and a warlock, warlocks can cast use their teleport spell in the air after having caught the egg to get back to the platform and hunters can simply disengage mid-air to get back onto the platform with the egg intact, then we just had the other player kill the boss as fast as possible.

Kommentar von Kalameda

Now, maybe I overthought this, but when I was trying it, I assumed that the egg was something that you needed to click, thus adding challenge to the entire achievement. For anyone else who may be trying it the first time and who's assuming this, that is NOT the case. You merely need to touch it. Unfortunately, once I did get the egg, I happened to be LoF'd by my priest helper into a pool where it promptly broke, but nevertheless, it's a lesson learned for my next attempt. Good luck to all who attempt it!

Kommentar von Elodeon

Was trying to do this on my Priest today. Both casting Levitate on self; and casting Leap of Faith with Glyph of Restored Faith; appears to drop the egg.

Kommentar von Kazedarkstar

Anyone else having problems with catching the egg and waiting on the nest it drops by, but you still don't get the achievement? I've tried this twice and both times no achievement. I've also sent a ticket the first time, but of course nothing came of it. Is it just not possible to catch the egg and wait on the nearby nest while the rest of the group kills the boss?

Kommentar von Geldorath

6.2.4, did it like this:

Preparation
Got priest in the group for the Glaubenssprung. Got the nest location from the YT video:
http://i.imgur.com/0XNtgX0.png
Set the mark for priest so he could Glaubenssprung on me, jumped down to the nest, started stopwatch by writing /stopwatch after pull.

Fight
Killed adds for flying skill to show. Used "fly" on ~14-15 seconds after the start. The egg spawned after ~21 seconds on my Stopwatch. Then, I FLEW INTO THE EGG. YOU DONT NEED TO CLICK IT. YOU NEED TO FLY INTO IT. Marking its initial location can help a lot. 1 wipe to do it is not a big deal.

Then I asked the priest to catch me and cast shields on me so I wouldn't get hurt while jumping down on the nest.

Rest of the group killed it.

Kommentar von 1207179

You can do this without a priest. You still need a specific character though so its not really a breakthrough in new strategy. Its just another option if you can't find a priest.

I caught the egg on my goblin rogue and used my racial rocket jump to land back on the platform.

Kommentar von Gwiez

If you have tom tom, the egg falls close to 62.5 41.0. Set your waypoint, and turn off automatic removal. On the pull, start your stopwatch. At 15-16 seconds, fly towards your waypoint and up. Stay below the nest and back about 8 yards from the waypoint. You'll see the egg pop above you and you can fly through it (when you're moving, you have a better chance at catching it).

It might take a couple of tries. GL

New information : Any type of legendary ring procced by someone in your group will cause you to DROP THE EGG if you are the same spec, we learned this today. so make sure you dont trigger your rings!

Kommentar von PeteM177

So, after failing for 2 hours in a 10 man group with my priest, I came up with an alternate strategy that worked much better.

On my mage, I went in solo, set my talents to alter time and greater invisibility (to reset in case I failed), and practiced finding the exact location of the egg drop. What I did was, drop down, kill adds and get a feather, count to 10, hit alter time, fly over to where the egg would fall and make sure I got it. I'd practice this a few times until I finally got the timing right - the idea is that alter time brings you back to the nest with the egg in tact. This is fantastic because there's nothing in the nest that can damage the egg in the short term, you can just chill there as long as you want (or until aoe kills you, but at level 100, that won't happen very quickly).

After getting this down, I started a group in th group finder, advertising that all I needed was dps to burn when I told them to, and wipe if I messed it up. Took us 3-4 attempts just because I was more nervous with all those eyes on me, haha.

In short, this method does take dedication from one mage player, and a lot of careful timing, but it puts the responsibility in ONE person's hands, it's not much of a coordinated effort so overall I found it to be much easier. I hope this helps some people out there get the achievement!

P.S. As others have posted, it's probably worth taking off your legendary ring before doing this, in case the proc destroys the egg. (not sure if this is confirmed or not)

Kommentar von Aerospace

Got an engineer? Then no priest or mage is necessary.
While supposedly Goblin Gliders cannot be used in raid combat, the engineering-only Flexweave Underlay tinker still can! I recently did this achievement in a 3-man group by flying up to get the egg as it fell, and then activating the parachute just before before the egg reached me. When you catch the egg, your flying buff comes off, but your parachute does not... Which gave me plenty of time to casually aim and throw the egg to a group member that was waiting down in the first nest (Who stayed there AFK while myself and one other killed Ji-kun).

This means that in theory, Parachute Cloak might be a viable way for slowfall-challenged group compositions to get this achievement. But I can't say that for certain, as I've only done this with the engineering-exclusive tinker.

Kommentar von melex

Just did this as a Elemental Shaman, with Gust of Winds talent.

Got the egg, Gust of winds to the plataform. Went down to the nest, and my friend killed the boss.

Easy.

Kommentar von lemon031

Is it possible to cheese this by nuking the boss? I can't remember since the last time I tried how long it takes for the egg to come out, but at 110 it should be trivial to burn him down quick. Has anyone tried doing the cheev this way?

Kommentar von SCBOki

I'm going to write out our 2 man strategy that took us forever to perfect, but it works flawlessly. We used a Hunter and a Mage. Mage started out on the edge of the platform the boss is on, while the hunter jumped down to the nest that's not quite the furthest one down. About 15seconds into the encounter, our Mage threw slow fall on or Hunter as he was rising up to the area where the egg falls (You can figure this out by just watching a guide or seeing it in the encounter once) Once the hunter grabs the egg, he slow falls until he is in range to use the PASS ability that having the egg gives you. He throws it to the Mage, and then he disengaged onto the boss platform. The mage with the egg then dropped to the same nest as before with the egg as the Hunter burned the boss. Easy $

Kommentar von Anoune

Demon Hunters are able to use glide after picking up the egg, making this very simple to duo if your DH picks it up and glides back to the first nest while someone else burns the boss.

Kommentar von symvhs123

I was doing this with my friend as a two men group. I told him to burn the boss down to 20% hp before the egg dropped(15 secs). The moment I got the egg I would tell him then he could finish the boss with a single strike.

It failed. The achievement didn't pop out. As soon as the boss died I was pulled back to the platform, the egg was still on me but it seems it doesn't count.

Kommentar von Nausicaa

Can be done solo by a Hunter Beast Master with a Rylak pet.

- Start the encounter by doing some damage to the boss. You must do this in the fastest way possibile, just 2 o 3 seconds and reduce Ji-Kun's health to 20-30%. Dots like Murder of Crows help. Pay attention not to kill it, just a quick burst.
- Jump down the nest, kill quickly the hatchlings and use the feather to reach the egg nest
- When you reach the upper nest use Updraft (the Rylak ability) immediatly, face the boss platform and jump to intercept the falling egg
- If you do it right you will slowly fall and barely reach the left side of the platform. You might need a lot of tries to get it right, if you fail just feign and repeat.
- Once on the boss platform you are almost done: dodge everything by running clockwise and instruct your pet to attack Ji-Kun. The pet must kill it before the Down Draft phase.

Kommentar von BeWasted

I managed to successfully do this today after around 45 minutes of attempts. I can confirm this is soloable as a Beast Master Hunter, but do note that there's A LOT of room for failure, which may result in you killing the boss when not meeting the requirements for the achievement.
So unless you're out of options and don't have anyone to do it with, then be my guest, but you have been warned. Try and at least get a priest for this encounter.

Namely, I approximately counted the damage and time I had to go down to the nest, get the feather and fly and get the egg. I popped all cooldowns (except Stampede and Murder of Crows) on pull and got my pets to nuke the boss down to about half/below half its health. Then I popped Stampede and MoC while falling down, killed the hatchling, grabbed the feather and immediately headed out to grab the egg. (Note that I didn't jump down until approximately counting to 8.)

If your calculations were correct, after flying to get the egg and successfully collecting the egg, the Stampede and MoC should already have the boss down to a very low amount of HP, and as you're falling down, the DoTs should kill the boss and you'll get the achievement.

Kommentar von Matt453

Got this achievement today. The magic number is 15 SECONDS from the boss being pulled! Use the built-in stopwatch in wow to track this. Easy to get this achievement with two people (requiring a priest to pull the egg catcher).

Our team: Holy Priest, Frost DK. ilevle 830. Did on normal 10 man.

- DK drops down to nest prior to boss being pulled.
- Boss pulled, start 15 second timer.
- DK kills all adds down there and watis for 15 seconds to be up.
- Priest waits at corner ready to pull this ally once he catches the golden egg.
- DK grabs feather and heads toward the nest above him and catches the egg in midair.
- The egg is caught, priest pulls him back. Throws egg to priest.
- DK NUKES BOSS. Winner winner chicken dinner, you get the achievement.

NOTE: If the egg was not caught in time, kill yourselves. We just stood in the gooey green things. Once you catch the egg. This becomes a piece of cake.

You can also solo this with a hunter and using disengage to get back to platform, but is risky.

Kommentar von Kanegasi

Has anyone tried to do this achievement by nuking the boss within 15 seconds, or does someone have to catch the egg?

Kommentar von paygen

Use the 15 second stop watch. One of you will have to use it to time catching the egg properly.

1. My partner started on the lowest platform and killed the eggs to get the feather.

2. When the time was right, he flew up and caught the egg. While falling, he Gust of Winds back onto the main platform.

3. I then killed the boss with him holding the egg and the achievement was complete.

This is a SOLO guide on "Soft Hands" Achievement (Patch 7.1.5)

This guide is performed on 10-man Normal mode, and is intended for classes that have DoT damage for the solo method. All classes can complete the two-man method, if they are accompanied by a priest.

Recommended: Have a stop watch to track your time, or use the in-game stop watch provided. You need to complete this achievement in 20 seconds via the solo method. You also need to be in a spec that has sufficient DoT damage.

=============================================================================

SOLO PLAN:

Attack boss for 10 seconds.
DoT up boss as much as possible.
Run to lower nest by 15 seconds.
Kill hatchings and click on feather.
Fly up to the nest with the golden egg by 20 seconds.
Catch the egg.
And, if you timed your DoTs well enough... the boss dies will you are still falling.
Done.

CAUTION: Too much damage and the boss dies, and you have to wait for another week to try for this achievement. Which leads me to part two of this guide...

=============================================================================

TWO-MAN / DUAL BOX PLAN:

This can only be done if you have a priest in group. Either on a second account (dual boxing), or a friend.

Position the priest (other account or friend) at the edge of the platform nearest to golden egg nest.
Attack boss for 10 seconds.
DoT up boss as much as possible.
Run to lower nest by 15 seconds.
Kill hatchings and click on feather.
Fly up to the nest with the golden egg by 20 seconds.
Catch the egg.
Use "Leap of Faith" from priest to pull your egg holder to the platform.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: Egg holder must run and drop back down to the FIRST nest.
Second account / priest friend then kills boss.
Done.

I highly recommend doing this by the two-man / dual box method. Save yourself some grief and get a priest to help you with this achievement. Otherwise, you run the risk of having to farm this achievement for weeks, or even months!

We just did this achievement with levitate cast on the eggholder instead of leap of faith. The person catching it didn't cast any abilities and let the other person kill the boss while running around on main platform. not *needed* to drop back to first nest.

Kommentar von chasekidd

Just a heads up, I did this with a friend 4/14/2017, and did not receive the achievement.
Got the boss low, I grabbed the egg, he killed the boss right after I got the extra button for the egg, and the achievement did not proc.

After putting in a ticket, the GM that replied said that this is an issue they are aware of, and that it will be hotfixed soon, but no ETA was given.

Kommentar von sbaglivi

Just wanted to confirm that as of 03/05/17 the achievement is obtainable. I personally used a DH to pick up the egg and glide to safety to a nest I had cleared while my friend was waiting to pop the boss. Good luck and for those of you that miss only this achievement for the meta, gratz on your mount :)

Kommentar von Ironshocker77

Got the achievment today after quite a lot of tries. We found a easy way to do it, though:

- The player responsible for grabbing the egg jumps down to the nest (the one in the top right side of the platform) before the fight
- The rest of the group starts the fight and burns the boss to around 70%
- The egg carrier kill the chicks on the nest, grabs the red feather buff and flies up to the nest above. There he waits for the feather cooldown then jumps off the nest using the red feather, positioning himself a little lower than the nest. The egg falls on his head, removing the feather buff.
- The rest of the group then proceed to finish the boss hp quickly, before the egg carrier reaches the bottom.

This strategy allows any class combination to sucessfully get this achievment, as you don't need to land on the platform using disengage/leap of faith/etc.

We did this on 10n with 2 people DPSing the boss, but it probably can be done with only 1 DPS with little effort.

Good luck :)

We did it by continually burning the boss down while the guy catching the egg flew up to it. Once he caught it we used slowfall on him. As he was slowfalling we burned the boss before it ran out.

Kommentar von Derthsin

I just did this achievment today with a group of 3 people. a paladin and shaman and a demon hunter.

The tactic we went with was to have the paladin stay on the platform and dps the boss to around 20% or 15%. We jumped down into the nest to the side of the boss and kill the birds in there to get the feathers. The demon hunter immdeiatley used the feather and flew to the top of the nest and stood there waiting for the cooldown to finish, while the shaman stayed on the bottom nest.

Using the /timer at the start of the fight, once the timer hit 13 seconds, the shaman used the feathers and flew to wait underneath the nest to catch the egg if the demon hunter missed. The demon hunter waited until 18 seconds then jumped off the nest and used the feather, and once the egg was caught, the demon hunter used glide while the paladin finished off the boss.

The shaman was used underneath the nest as a precaution incase the egg was missed, but was still hard to catch it with that tactic. Took about 10 or 11 attempts but once we got the tactic smooth it was relativley easy to do.

(also we took most of our gear off to make it easy to wipe if we failed. otherwise it took about a million years to die)

Just solo'd this as a Shaman using Rückenwind talent and regular Fire Elemental.

I started the watch and waited until 10 seconds to attack the boss. I got him down to about 11% and made sure he had Flame Shock on him.
Then I dropped down to the nest and killed the 2 chicks. After that I flew up just in time to have the Golden Egg drop on my head. Then I used gust of wind to give me more air time with the egg and keep the DoTs ticking. While I didn't make the platform, the extra time allowed the Fire Elemental to kill the boss in time. It's definitely possible to land on the platform with Gust of Wind however if you mess up the DoTs.

Here's the video

In the world of dog breeding, it's important for retrievers to be able to hold fowl in their mouths without damaging the catch. The test for this is to give the dog an egg to hold in its mouth; if it doesn't break, the dog passes, and it's referred to as having a "soft mouth".

Edit: Uhh... @#$% me for mentioning the namesake of the achievement I guess?

Kommentar von Tuts

You will fail. You will fail A LOT, but eventually you'll get it

Kommentar von m4gnify

You can use Kil'jaedens brennender Wunsch while holding the egg, that's how I just did it! :)

Kommentar von Rhinehold

Just did this with a friend. He was a Demon Hunter flying up for the egg, using glide after he got it, and I was on my Priest using Leap of Faith to bring him right to the platform. Once we got the initial timing of the assent down, it was really quite easy. Thanks to everyone who came before this for their comments and tips.

Kommentar von Lake8888

Solo'ed as Beast Mastery Hunter on 25 man normal using tips from Nausicaa, BeWasted and quandary below. Despite what some earlier posts say, Disengaging back to the platform after catching the egg WILL break it, whether you are using the Posthaste talent or not. You need to use a Rylak's Updraft buff or some other 30-second slowfall buff (not glider). My timing is as follows

0th second - Burst the boss down to around 30% health
10th second - Drop to the NE nest and kill the hatchlings along the way down, when Rylak respawn as you land, cast updraft buff (30 seconds)
15th second - Fly up facing the egg spawn location, first strafe left towards the walls, when you're about to catch the egg, strafe right.
You should have enough time on the buff to fall back onto the boss platform. Then command your pet to finish off the boss before the downdraft phase.

The flying part takes some practice, I recommend doing a few trial runs using feign death without attacking the boss to avoid killing it.

Kommentar von Dedmeett

Goblins and possibly engineers, with pets can do this solo, I just did. Why? Because the racial perk 'rocket jump'.
As a 110 Unholy DK, ilvl 930- I started my timer(just on my cell phone) then hit as hard as I could for about 3 seconds (Outbreak and a Festering Strike)
Then ran to nest under the egg drop, got my feather and headed up.
As soon as I got the egg, of course I lost the feather and dropped but rocket jumped to the platform- lo and behold, it didn't break the egg!
It was at like 33% health and I had my pet minion finish off boss.
I probably should have got another hit or two on it before running off though, as it was just starting to cast down draft and blow me off at the exact time it died, so very small window of success for me here.

Kommentar von gbomb

Because of the netherlight crucible and artifact weapon heals it is now sometimes very hard to die in here if you want to reset the boss. I had to alt f4 a few times and go watch videos for a few minutes.

Also I just noticed that the Flüstern von Rai'Vosh toy works in here so maybe someone can try using that while they have the egg. 10-15 attempts and still working on it solo.

Kommentar von AzerateAeriePeak

Completed it today thanks to a youtube guide posted in the comments here. I can't find it right now which is a shame cause it was very simple and straightforward. Lots of people here are making it nedlessly complicated.

1. Get another person (a friend, or grab a random from trade chat on a high pop realm)
2. Log into your demon hunter, if you don't have one, make one. Getting through the tutorial is like 1h and it's a fun class anyway.
3. Glide to the nest right below the one which drops the golden egg BEFORE the fight.
4. You friend pulls the boss and damages it down 20-30% or so
5. As soon as the pull happens, you aoe the platform which kills the mobs and spawns feathers.
6. Pick up the feather, wait a couple secs and fly towards the egg to pick it up.
7. When your flying ends, use glide and land on the nest below, tell your friend to kill the boss.
8. Done

*The class of your friend does not matter
*You don't have to land on the platform with the boss to get the achievement. Just land on the nest.

Today I did this achievement solo (very easy btw) with a 955 ilvl Windwalker Monk:
1 - Cast your spirit Transcendence on the edge of room (nearest possible from the nest)
2 - Set a timer and dps Ji-Kun down about 20-30%
3 - When timer sets 10sec, cast Invoke Xuenm the White Tiger (talent lvl 90), jump to the eggs, get the feather and fly to the golden egg
4 - When you get the golden egg and start to fall, cast transcendence back to spirit and just avoid the skills until your tiger finish the boss.
Hope this help you guys!

Kommentar von Dromedario2

Took a few tries but mi friend and I were able to get the achivement the following way:

-Before starting the encounter mi friend 110 warlock would jump to the first nest that is activated by Jikun. (The one that is directly below the one with the golden egg)

-I (110 mage) would tag Jikun and jump to the nest with my friend.

-I cast Slow Fall on him and he flies to the nest above to pick the egg. Once he has it (with slow fall active) he passes the egg to me (im still in the nest) (I DONT CAST ANYTHING... HANDS OFF KEYBOARD)

(-We start again for I have casted Time Warp and dropped the egg...)

-He burns the boss with me still in the nest.

-And done, we took a few selfies with the egg :)

The times we had to reset the encounter we would do it the following way, my friend would burn his life with Burning Rush and as soon as he was dead I would pop Invisibility, Which saved me a lot of gold from repairs. (Can't say the same of my friend)

Kommentar von Firedemons

Just soloed as an affliction warlock on 10 man with no pet up.
Start a timer. Put up Agony, Corruption and Siphon Life, wait for 5-6 seconds, reapply them and jump on the nest. Kill the little birds and put a Demonic Circle. After 15-16 seconds on the timer fly up where the egg is falling. Try to catch it as you move towards the nest and teleport to the circle. Boss should die shortly from agony.

You may need to do a few trials and errors on the dots depending on gear if you decide to solo. Otherwise, really easy with 2 players as long as you have a lock to use Demonic Circle with the egg and the other to kill the boss once the egg is safe.

Trying to do this achievement in BFA prepatch and i'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong after having tried during legion, but I can't break the Ji-Kun eggs on the nest platforms to gain the flying capability.

Kommentar von Jumpboots

I was able to complete this solo today on my frost mage! it's definitely not as easy as doing one of the duo or group strategies listed out here, but it was fun to figure out and do!

I did this on 25 man normal, but only because I didn't want to go outside to set it to 10. It will definitely be easier to do on 10 man.

The best part of this is, Invisibility will reset this encounter and your cooldowns (except for Ray of Frost if you're using it. You'll need to wait 30 seconds for that). If you mess something up or you aren't sure, no worries! Just use invisibility and don't risk killing the boss without getting the achievement.

Your pet is needed to do this, so need to make sure you don't have Lonely Winter selected.

What you need to do is this:

- Position yourself by the ledge above the first hatchling nest
- Start the encounter by burning the boss as much as possible in ten or so seconds. You want to get Ji-Kun as low as possible without killing her.
- drop down to the nest where the hatchlings are now spawned. Kill them and grab the feather buff (an ice lance or cone of cold will do the trick)
- Grab the feather buff and fly up towards the golden egg spawn. On the way up, cast slow fall on yourself. You want to position yourself so the egg is between you and the nest it spawns by
- Time it correctly so that when the egg spawns you fly through it in the direction of the nest. This will give you enough momentum to land on the nest
- Now, drop down to the platform. Your slow fall will make sure you close the gap. You can drop the buff as soon as you're safely above the platform
- Your pet will now return to you. Sic him on Ji-Kun and let him finish the job!

Note that you CANNOT stay on the platform during a down draft, so your pet will need to kill Ji-Kun before this happens. This is why burning her at the beginning of the encounter is important.

SOLO FROST MAGE GUIDE:

Hello! Today I spent about an hour attempting to solo this as a frost mage, and it finally worked!

It takes some luck and precision, but using slow fall you can end up back on Ji-kun's platform after picking up the egg. Assuming you did about 80% of the boss' health before dropping to get the egg, you may then use your WATER ELEMENTAL to attack and kill the boss!

What I Did:

Timewarp + Icy Veins on pull, damaged boss to 20%. Dropped onto first nest, killing 2 birds on the way down. Grabbed feather, flew up (I wound up reaching about where the egg spawns), making sure to cast slow fall BEFORE grabbing the egg. Also, you MUST position yourself correctly. I flew into the egg at a slight diagonal from behind and left (behind meaning toward the wall), floating down to the jutting edge of the platform slightly to the right of the golden egg spawn location. I then used my water elemental, telling it to attack Ji-kun, and just ran in a circle for 10-20 seconds while my elemental killed her.

Doing less damage may work, I am unsure if you will run into down draft or not. I am 217 iLvl (Legion prepatch), if you are slightly lower use a flask/food/potion.

Again, this is 100% SOLO. I was the only person present! This may work with a hunter pet if you time disengage perfectly, unsure how those mechanics work with flight.

Kommentar von Graxathil

Edit: It's not borked, it's just... random. We did it again this week and got it, but had to reset two times. The first try, I got hit by Slime (even though no slime had been cast) two seconds after getting the egg and lost the buff. Next try I got hit by Caw two-three seconds after getting the egg and lost the debuff. Third try went smoothly.

This achievement might be ~~borked~~ wonky in 8.0.1. I got the egg, but lost the egg buff right before boss died despite taking no damage :(

: Details!: Graxathor - Buff Uptime
: 1. 91.8% (0m 22s)
: 2. ............. 62.6% (0m 15s)
: 3. .............................. 37.6% (0m 9s)
: 4. ................................. 16.7% (0m 4s)
: 5. .............. 8.3% (0m 2s)

: Details! report for Damage Done of Environment (Falling) at Graxathor for Ji-Kun (8 previous fights)
: 1.Environment (Falling) ....... 1,444 (100.0%)

The fall damage is from when I jumped down to the nest (AKA before I had the egg buff).

Kommentar von Rage238

Hello all!

Completed this today -

Ideally you do this with two people - In my case I used two Mages, but one mage would do.

First reason being - Slow fall
Second reason - Invisibility to reset easily ( Other classes like hunter with FD could be used for player 1 )

Player 1 stays on the platform at DPS's the boss down to a low percentage ( 10% - 15% is ideal normally )

Player 2 jumps down to platform as soon as boss is pulled (Platform selected is highlighted in red)

Ideally this is the mage in the group, suggest once you jump down and kill the adds and gain your flight buff counting to about 4 or 5.

Once you count to 4/5 seconds, start flight and head up towards the upper level nest nearest you (The egg will drop in mid air from the far side of this nest)

I suggest being slightly below the nest when the egg spawns, when it does it will do a bounce effect from where it starts and drop rapidly, once you see it start dropping you'll want your wings to expire and cast slow fall immediately (This should be done before attempting to catch egg)

Pending you positioned yourself in the right spot and casted slow fall it will just be a matter of having the quick click on the egg

Once Player 2 Has the egg and is slow falling, player 2 DOES NOTHING DO NOT CAST ANYMORE SPELLS OR THE EGG WILL DROP

Player 1 on platform burns boss ASAP and congrats on the cheeve!

Kommentar von dasmowenator

Note that killing Ji-Kun before the golden eggs spawns does NOT award you the achievement.

Kommentar von dasmowenator

Ok, to clarify a few things that are surprisingly not mentioned in any of these other posts:

1) The nest that the golden egg falls from is nest in the north-northeast section of the map. You can run around the outer ring of the boss area without aggroing the boss, so you can easily position yourself in the right section of the area before you engage the boss.

2) You pick up the golden egg automatically by being near it, you don't need to click (or right-click) it or anything. There will be a button that pops up in the bottom-center of the screen to throw the egg away - do NOT click that!

Kommentar von Ruuuuuubje

So I tried just nuking it, killed him withing 10 secs, but no achievement

Kommentar von riddles78

Having spent an embarrassing amount of time on this, I'd just like to clarify that (at the time of writing) your character automatically grabs the egg when you get close. So you just need to worry about being in the right position to automatically grab it, and then getting back to safety. I used monk transference myself (with a second player dpsing).

Kommentar von Anarchy

If you're only two people, I suggest classes that can vanish/invis/feign death etc to reset if you mess up.
How I did it:

-Mage
-Rogue

Someone stays up top, DPS boss to 10-20% quickly then stop damage.
Other person runs to grab egg, as soon as egg is picked up kill boss and you'll both get achieve.

If you don't get boss low HP, the person with the egg will fall and drop the egg before you can kill him. If that happens just reset.

Kommentar von Nitronica

Here is how I soloed it as a 120 Warlock in 10 Man Normal.

Things to keep in mind before pulling the boss:
1. Pick 'Burning Rush' talent.
2. Have your imp out, but put it on passive.
3. Enable the in-game timer with /sw.

Position yourself in the north east corner of the boss platform, right above the first nest.
1. Put an agony on the boss and start the timer.
2. Immediately jump down to the nest and kill the adds.
3. Wait until your timer hits exactly 11 seconds, then click your extra button to be able to fly.
4. Fly up to the nest where the golden egg spawns. Make sure you are flying towards the nest when you pick up the egg in order to keep some momentum, which lets you land on the top nest. Getting this timing right will probably take a few tries.
5. Now, when you are standing on the top nest with the golden egg in your hands, face against the boss platform, activate your burning rush and jump off the ledge. If done correctly you should be able to jump onto the boss platform.
6. Command your imp to finish off the boss.

Congratulations on your achievement!

(Can most likely be done with 'Demonic Circle' as well, but I personally did not test that)

Kommentar von wowilovehead

Its hard to kill yourself in here at 120. The only way I found was to pick one of the lowest small platforms and take the feather straight up above it as high as you can and fall down to take damage on the platform. About 5 drops should do it.

Kommentar von Chidsuey

Bring a mage or demon hunter and it's easy peasy. Have them start on the lower nest, one shot an egg, grab the buff, and fly to the high nest where the egg spawns. You will have about 2-3 seconds after your flying buff comes off cooldown to get into position to grab it (pretty much just by flying off the edge of the nest). So hit Slowfall if you're a mage then fly and grab it. Make sure you're facing toward the platform, walk forward, and you should land gently on the platform, no crappy broken throwing mechanic necessary. Or with a DH, just glide.

Kommentar von PowaPuff

First try on Ji-Kun I failed. Knew straight away I didn't want to waste weeks trying this. So logged onto an alt. Spammed trade LFM to do . Got 1 guy to help me within 2 minutes. Got to Ji-Kun. My mate did the DPS and I tried to catch the egg. Failed 1st attempt to catch the egg. Planned for failure so didn't kill the boss. Hearthed out and went back. Did it on the second try. Saved weeks of frustration.

Kommentar von applebear

I soloed this on my 120 sv hunter, using Nitronica's method above...altering it more to a hunter. If you look up her review, you will see she has a video demonstrating it perfectly. I may have did this a little different than some, I personally felt less stress to nuke the boss down to a certain point...just hit her with a sting, bomb, another sting for good luck and then dove straight off to the nest over the side. I swept it clean, hit cheetah and did a running jump off and hit the wings to fly. As shown in Nitronica's video, your goal is to get to the golden egg's nest and time it out perfectly where you are catching the egg just as you are about to land on top of the nest. You guessed it, takes a few tries. Hunter is great here for the FD resets.

Once on top of the nest with the egg, this is where I was a little unsure. I'm a panda, a long drop isn't a problem, but have read it will break egg. I have read mixed reviews from using 'updraft' from your feathermane pet...and I have had some iffy use from it before going from nest to nest, etc.. I decided to take a risk, hit 'updraft' before leaving nest and do a running jump. I didn't jump well, but did glide down to the platform.

Now, here's where we get to the part where I didn't worry about dpsing the turkey boss down much. She was a good 50-60% still, and I have read her caw and other things could break the egg. I put pet on her right away, and ran circles around her clutching my big gold egg. She cawed, but it seemed to be location specific and didn't hit me. My pet took her down fairly fast, and achieve popped. I'd suggest knocking her down a bit more if you have the time...I was probably pressing my luck here, but hope there is some useful stuff for those trying to get this done. Good luck!

Kommentar von Nechifor

Hello everyone,

BM Hunter here - I have managed to solo this achievement as of 8.0.1 following a new way!

In BFA a new Exotic pet family was introduced - the Pterrordax

One of the special abilities of this pet is Aufwind, which is basically a 30 seconds Slow Fall

The easiest pterrodax to tame is Blutlüsterner Pterrordax which can be found in Dazar'alor around:

/way 35.66 16.65

After you have tamed your pterrodax, make a simple macro and key-bind it, i use:

/tar
/cast Updraft

The fight itself can be done on any difficulty and you can try over and over again until you get it right.

The strategy to dot the boss with Die Vögel still works but requires great coordination and if you fail there's no retry the same week.

So, go to Ji-Kun, position yourself on the platform next to the nest where you jump down.

Start the fight with just an auto shot and use /stopwatch to count the seconds.

After 8 seconds, jump down to the nest, kill the hatchlings and use the updraft macro.

You now have a slow fall spell on yourself.

The next step is to use the feather (an additional button on your interface) to reach the upper nest where the egg spawns at ~20 seconds into the fight.

HERE IS THE TRICK: fly up as quick as possible and try to catch the egg while moving towards the Ji-Kun platform.

If you do it right you'll catch the egg and slow fall towards the platform and not straight down, you'll land just on the edge on the platform with the egg in your hands and the pet will spawn next to you.

Now the achievement is as good as done, just command your pet to attack the boss and wait to get the achievement.

The Federkiele ability of the boss does not break the egg and at level 120 the fight is quite short.

Good luck!

Kommentar von ValricSB

For those of you who are finding your egg is randomly breaking, I have a possible solution.

Remove your azerite gear!

I can't be certain that my azerite gear is what was causing the above to happen to me, but as soon as I tried this, it solved the problem. I noticed that my azerite gear's traits were triggering randomly without me doing much of anything and realized that this could be registering as me using abilities. This fight was designed years before BFA, after all. So I removed my gear, let my friend life grip me and then kill the boss for me, and I got the achievement. This was after three other attempts with the egg just randomly breaking in my hands, even when I wasn't being hit by quills.

Hope this helps someone.

Kommentar von IMissThottbot

Some VERY important tips for hunters:

1. Take off any Azerite gear, trinkets etc that have any procs at all, for safety's sakes. I took off the one with the absorb shield, along with haste-proc trinkets and the baby devilsaur crit trait. If you don't do this, a proc can trigger your dropping the egg.

2. SPEC OUT OF ANIMAL COMPANION if you have it specced as BM. I had it for RP purposes, and it took me a solid 10 "randomly dropping the egg right as Ji-Kun was almost dead" to figure out what was making me drop it. Basically, when your second pet spawns in, it apparently counts as a proc or ability and this makes you drop the egg. Sometimes, that can be a 5-10 second delay, which can make the timing quite precarious.

3. Don't try to disengage with the egg. If you do, spec out of posthaste (the proc drops the egg) and only attempt it if you failed everything else--and then, try to do it as CLOSE to the platform as possible, height-wise. Fall damage dropped the egg, for me, though it might be disengage on its own--landing, not using it but landing, drops it every time. Disengage w/o posthaste cancels the Pterrordax slowfall.

4. Do use the pterrordax/feathermane. But don't bother aiming up for the nest; the momentum + timing is a REAL pain. Instead, wait a bit below/behind the egg's drop trajectory, for a second, FACING the main platform. Right when it spawns, start flying toward its path & up. This will take practice but it should wind up with you neatly gliding downward.

5. Keep moving--don't get hit by Caw. Send pet as soon as you land. These 2 things will keep you from taking damage long enough for your pet to kill the boss.

6. Watch the egg in your arms, too. If it vanishes, IMMEDIATELY recall and then dismiss pet & feign to try again. It's easy to miss it vanishing if you're focused too hard on the boss.

Kommentar von TheGi3

This can easily be solo'd by a warlock. Place a Demonic Circle on the north eastern edge of the platform. Pull the boss then jump down to the nest beneath you. Kill the hatchlings quickly, wait a few seconds, then fly over to where the egg will drop. Once you've picked up the egg simply teleport back onto the platform. Note that casting Demonic Circle: Teleport will NOT cause you to drop the egg. After that just let your pet kill the boss.

If you end up dropping the egg or missing the catch I found the simplest way to reset the boss was just to turn on Burning Rush until you run out of health, then fly up and fall to your death. If you plan on using this method make sure to Soulstone yourself before pull.

Kommentar von Skoliosisirl

Just did this on Shadow priest after around 10 tries on 25 normal.
Unequipped all Azerite gear but kept 1 proc trinket on, ended up at ilvl 297.
Had full insanity for the start so just tried to do as much damage as possible before the feed young (was using shadow word: void). Just before jumping off I put on both vampiric touch and shadow word pain and used shadowfiend. After killing the young and picking up a feather I used levitate on myself, flew up to the Golden Egg, picked it up and while floating down my Shadowfiend killed the boss with around 3 seconds left on it (the shadowfiend that is).
Hoping this helps some1.

Kommentar von jrnewhouse

Completed this achievement today on my Destro Warlock using Nitronica's method with a slight modification. During the course of several tries, I was able to get the timing down where you fly up to the nest, grab the golden egg, and have enough forward momentum to land on the nest while holding the egg. However, even using Burning Rush, I found out that holding the egg slows you a bit when you try to run and jump from the nest to the platform. The first time I tried it, I missed the platform and had to start over. So, for all subsequent tries, I placed a Demonic Circle at the NE edge of the platform. The next time I made it to the nest with the egg, I simply jumped off toward the platform and hit teleport when within range of the Demonic Circle. I landed on the platform still holding the egg, and commanded my imp to finish off Ji-Kun just as Nitronica did.

Kommentar von FenrothGenjuros

Hi! There is a way to die in ji-kun boss figth if you fail to grab the egg. You just need to take the feather fly up and fall down to the ledge where the small birds are. Do this few times and you will die.

Kommentar von Jealousy

If you are a mage doing it solo, you can always use invisible spell to reset the fight without having to fly up on feathers and dropping to die. You could also try similar spells with other classes.

Kommentar von SeraphX

So I finally did this achievement with a friend. Both level 110 Demon Hunters:

Detailed:

Used combat timer: https://wago.io/aXjD_Mrv7

Let friend hit Ji-Kun to about 20-30%
You enter at the red circle (Boss Map)
At 10 seconds jump to the platform (Green Circle) and kill the trash there, pick up a feather
At around 20 seconds the egg will come falling down from the (blue circle) platform, so get up high enough to catch it and
slow fall back to the (red circle) platform where you came from.
Friend now kills the boss
Win & Profit

Boss Map: https://ibb.co/VJwKMcz

It is possible to do this without the use of the feather, use slow fall until boss is dead.

A "fresh" DH can level up pretty fast nowadays:

90-100
get the garrison
ep potion
and collect treasures.

100-110
do the invasions,
get your weapons
and go.

Probably possible before 110 too.

Kommentar von rteger

Warlock method with Demonic Portal is BY FAR the easiest to pull. I did some attempts on the achievement today. First I used 120 Frost mage and after like 30 attempts switched to 110 Destro Warlock. Got it on 2nd warlock attempt.

Kommentar von TrueFighter

I did this in 8.2.5 with a BM Hunter following @Nechifor way with the pet, but i did this without using any abilities or dots to attacks boss

I did 1 Auto attack to the boss, than I captured the egg, after that slow fall back to boss and ordered my pet to attack the boss until he died WITHOUT using any abilities since that might break the egg

Kommentar von Volleynova

Very Difficult Solo Achievement for Beast Mastery Hunters Level 120 Battle for Azeroth or Level 60 Shadowlands and Beyond...
I completed it today after many agonizing years of casually going for it, it was the last achievement in my meta (for half a decade) and I finally have the mount for my just reward.

1. Heroic Difficulty and 25-man raid size, to prevent accidental boss death.

2. Tame a Pterrodax or any pet that provides the ability 'Updraft'. Northern Dazar'Alor has a few Pterrodax ready for taming.

2b. Updraft is a 30 second Pet Ability that allows you to fall nice and slowly to the ground without taking fall damage.

3. Remove all gear and ring/trinkets that cause automatic damage to the boss, so you don't accidentally kill it or despawn the golden egg once you have it.

4. Grab your stopwatch window from the minimap clock, and place it where it's easy to see the timer.

5. Take out your Pterrodax, and auto attack with your weapon Ji-Kun with a single shot. Start your stopwatch.

6. Jump down to the lower egg platform, and kill the mobs, stand in the feather but do not use the feather yet.

7. When the timer gets to 10 seconds, select 'Updraft' from your pets ability bar, and then use the feather.

8. Look up, and fly up, towards the above platform, and you will see as the boss starts spinning around 15 seconds, the golden egg spawns.

9. You will see the golden egg immediately drop down.

10. This is where the difficulty is, you have to time it perfectly, to move forward with momentum, collect the golden egg, and fall safely down to Ji-Kun's platform below.

10b. Adjust your trajectory so that you are 'behind' the fall path of the egg, while moving forward towards the platform, and grabbing that egg as it falls at the perfect moment.

11. The golden egg is collected automatically when in range, you do not push any buttons to acquire it. This will take several attempts, if you miss the egg, reset fight by feigning death for you and your pet.

12. Once you've safely landed on Ji-Kun's platform with the golden egg, your pet respawns, then tell your pet to attack the boss.

13. Do not perform ANY actions other than telling your pet to attack the boss. The golden egg must remain in your hands. If the golden egg disappears before boss dies, feign death immediately.

14. The boss dies by pet.

15. ?

16. Profit. Achievement Completed and Congratulations.

Did this with two players at 120, 25 Heroic.

A unequips Herz von Azeroth and other items that might proc. Some talents also reportedly cause you to drop the egg.
A jumps down to the NE nest before the start of the fight.
B aggros the boss (Konzentrierte Flamme will get you some decent damage that should be low enough to not one-shot, at least on 25H). A starts a stopwatch at this point (it helps to be sitting next to each other; alternatively A can start the stopwatch when the hatchlings spawn and start flying up at maybe ~10 seconds).
A kills hatchlings, runs around if necessary to get the feather extra action button, and waits for the stopwatch to hit ~11 seconds.
At ~11 seconds, A flies up to the egg and lands on the top nest. I went southeast little past the pillar (further than necessary), then turned around and head back northwest towards the nest, and managed to land on the branches/etc near the nest.
At this point, A's Extra Action Button should change to an egg icon.
B kills the boss.

No race/class requirements, though it's useful to have an ability that can reset the fight (below). Catching the egg and landing on the top nest took several attempts.

You could also try "B kills the boss while A is falling", but that risks killing the boss for the week. If you want to try that: Flattern might work if you cast it before catching the egg (not sure; it's channeled). Trank des langsamen Falls should work. Summende schwarze Drachenschuppe might work if you trigger it just before catching the egg, but only lasts 15 seconds. Other comments recommend Leap of Faith (to the platform) or Demon Hunter wings (either to the platform or to the lower nest; the nest seems safer from Down Draft). Not sure if it's easier to land on the top nest and then jump off to catch the egg.

We reset by sitting in a nest (killing hatchlings if necessary) and using Schattenmimik (sometimes it failed; you might need to wait for Quills to end or something). Apart from the reset, I think this can be done by any two classes. Ways to reset (from other comments):

Schattenmimik (Night Elf)
Inkarnation: Avatar von Ashamane (Druid)
Unsichtbarkeit/Große Unsichtbarkeit (Mage)
Totstellen (Hunter)
Verschwinden (Rogue)
Jump onto a nest (not sure which one is lowest), kill any hatchlings, use the feather, fly up as far as possible, and fall. Repeat. (Might not work if you have an Azerite self-heal ability/etc. Druids: Switch out of cat form.)
Log out for 15 minutes.
Join and leave a group in group finder. (Unverified: Try Premade Groups > Raids - BfA > search for "World Bosses (Battle for Azeroth)".)

I've been doing it consistently for "fun" as BM hunter, here is a detailed guide (based off of Volleynova's comment)

1. Ptterodax pet with Updraft, have Feign Death and Play Dead ready for reset. Take off neck, any random proc gear, unspec from Dire Beast or any other RNG proc abilities. Have /stopwatch somewhere you can see it.

2. Stand NE corner above lower nest, the egg spawns to the right of this nest if you are facing it.

3. Taunt boss with Growl, immediately put pet on passive and start stopwatch.

4. Jump down, multishot the adds, face right towards egg spawn.

5. At ~12 seconds on stopwatch press Updraft, click feather action button, fly up and forward under egg spawn (watch where it spawns first time if you do not know)

6. While under it STRAFE right so you grab egg and are moving towards platform. Do not be moving forward, by strafing at the right angle you will make the platform 90% of the time

7. Land on platform holding egg. If you fail reset, if the egg breaks for some reason check for equipped gear with procs or your talents. Tell your pet to attack and afk until achievement pop

8. If you fail multiple times you can /cry and find a DH to carry you :)

Kommentar von Ternel

Did this tonight with a group of 3

Basically we had our egg carrier, our priest and our muscle. Egg carrier goes down, kill birds, waits a few seconds, uses feather and grabs egg. Priest life grips the egg carrier to the platform

Say on discord go and the mage blows up the boss

Kommentar von Haflo

After many attempts to solo this as Frost mage - i was easily able to do it with a friend while i was DH.
DH glide ability is perfect for this , have the 2nd character tank the boss in the middle without attacking , and the have the DH catch the golden egg - via the same strategy posted here below - then the DH should land anywhere with Glide ( on a lower nest is easy ) then the tank nukes the boss - easy achievement :)

Kommentar von Moin

Did it solo in WoW Shadowlands on 2020-12-20.

My Hero was a level 50 Affliction Warlock with item level 85.
It was in normal mode for 10 players.

In comparison to other classes, this achievement is very easy as warlock.
The funny thing is, that you do not use any DoT.
Therefore you do not need as much timing as the other classes.
If something wents wrong, you can abort on every stage of the fight.
To abort the fight, just log out.
You will probably need some tries to learn the mechanics.

How I did it:

preparation:

Bind demonic circle: teleportation to a key
Make a macro:
/stopwatch 0:00:20
/stopwatch play
/startattack
Test the macro and move the stopwatch window to a good position
Get out Voidwalker and set it to passive
Go to the northeastern edge
look down over the edge and memorize the positon of the nest with the bird eggs
look up, turn a little bit right and memorize the position of the golden egg nest
Place demonic circle at the edge nearest to the golden egg nest
Go in melee attack range of the boss

the fight:

click the macro to start the fight and the stopwatch
do not use any other skill (No DoTs)
turn around and run over the northeastern ledge falling into the bird nest
kill all eggs
wait until stopwatch is at 0:00:10
click the feather button
fly up to the golden egg nest
fly to a position where the egg will fall down through your position
the egg will appear on the right side of the nest, when the stopwatch reaches 0:00:00
No click is needed, you just have to touch the egg
if you missed the egg, abort with logout
if you have the egg, spam the key for demonic circle: teleportation
after teleport, run with the egg in a circle around the boss
put your voidwalker on attack mode
watch out to not use any other skill
watch out to not be hit by any attack that can destroy the egg
wait until your voidwalker has killed the boss

Kommentar von Vasiliski

when you start boss, you either do achievement, or kill boss. there is no reset of fight, except Hearthtstone
No matter how many times you jump down, pet is not dismissed, so yes, it seems to be soloable as pet class. set pet passive, small attack on boss, jump to low platform, kill hatchlings and get feather, and fly up or whatever, to catch golden egg. make pet kill boss

Kommentar von essmene

Soloing as Frost Mage still works in 9.0.1. With 158 iLVL Frost Lance did about 20% Damage to Ji-Kun on 10M/Normal. So you might want to be careful at higher levels not to kill him outright.

To keep my timing I used:
/stopwatch
/stopwatch reset
/stopwatch play
/cast Ice Lance

set frost elemental to passive
Stond on the North/North/East Plattform - Start the Fight
Jump down - kill adds - Use Feather Around 10 seconds in
On the Way up Cast FeatherFall
Egg Spawns on Nest height - Eastern Side at 20 Seconds
Have a forward momentum towards the Boss platform, your momentum cannot be changed while holding the egg
attack boss with petbar
Cast Invisibility if anything goes wrong to reset the boss -- tries should take < 1 minute

Kommentar von David6199

I just solod this on my lvl 51 85 ilvl hunter as mm, after many many tries. Reason for being mm was because I had animal companion as a talent on my BM tree (which makes you drop the egg according to other comments) and I didn't want to go somewhere to change it.

Step by step:
1) Casted aimed shot and activated the stopwatch just as it finished casting.
2) Did a couple arcane shots to lower her hp down a bit, jumped down to the nest leaving her around 60% hp
These 2 steps are probably not needed if you're higher level or just have more gear.
3) At 11 seconds on the timer I flew up and halfway up activated aspect of the cheetah
4) Caught the egg and landed on the nest
5) Just ran off the nest onto the main boss platform
6) Had my pet finish boss off, I had growl and bite on auto use so pet abilities don't seem to make you drop the egg.

Problems I encountered:
-MANY many attempts failed by missing the egg, or catching it and not landing in the golden egg's nest.
-Not having enough damage and getting knocked off by ji kun when it casted Down Draft (dpsing it a bit on pull helped)
-One time I randomly dropped the egg when boss was at 5% hp, be quick on feign death and pet passive just in case, I don't know what caused that egg drop but I think it was the boss hitting me with an ability, since I still had aggro on it(I had pet taunt turned off), in my success try I had taunt on and I kept running around to be behind the boss.

Kommentar von Jikai

Heads up to any fellow Venthyr Frost Mages looking to solo this: SWAP SOULBINDS FROM NADJIA! When Thrill Seeker procs, it is technically considered an action and thus causes you to drop the egg.

I swapped to General Draven and that didn't seem to interfere at all. Good luck!

Kommentar von Subrosia

Soloing this isn't as bad as it seems in Shadowlands 9.0.5, though certain classes will have a significantly harder time, if not impossible time. After struggling on my 50 BM Hunter, I took user Moin's advice but instead I ended up bringing my level 60 (fresh 60 ilvl 168 alt) Affliction Warlock. Demonic circle is really nice for soloing this tricky achievement.

-Before the fight, place demonic circle on the edge of the grey stone platform nearest to the nest you'll be jumping to for the feather. Soulstone yourself. Put VW on passive. Then, start the fight. I damaged Ji-Kun around 15-20% (I used a single haunt and then drain soul for a few secs, adjust the timing based on your gear. You could probably damage him even more just to speed things up but I was playing it very safe) before dropping down and getting the feather and you should be fine. I did this because his wind knock-off ability that he casts around 1 minute in ended up messing the achieve up for me because my VW was only able to get him to around 11% HP before he casts the wind, which always knocked me off the ledge which dropped the egg and caused me to fail. After catching the egg, spam Demonic Circle: Teleport, then issue the attack command to your VW once you've landed back on the boss platform.

Anecdotal info based off the strat in Moin's post:

-I didnt have to kill all eggs, I killed 3-4 as I dropped to the nest which was more than enough to get one needed feather.
-I didnt have to run in a circle around the boss. (I'm not sure what that does, I just sat there while holding the egg and let my VW whittle the boss down)
-You can use burning rush until you're nice and low on health and then use feather to fly straight up in the air and drop to cause a fall damage death to reset if you make a mistake (like missing egg). (DONT FORGET SS)
-I didnt use a stop watch, I used trial and error instead (Learning when the egg falls, and where to be when it falls, was a bit of a struggle for me.)
-It really helped me to watch a video just to see what the egg looked like and how catching it worked. It's VERY easy to miss if you don't know what you're looking for. If you're a weirdo like me, and tend to prefer to read a text walkthrough instead of watch a video, trust me on this one. Look up a video to at least observe how catching the egg works.
-Lastly, the addon "Instance Achievement Tracker" really helped me keep track of when to jump to the feather nest.

Kommentar von Slowtogo

Hello, pet classes and anyone else in 2021 looking for an easy way to solo or 2-man this!

I just managed to solo this as a MM hunter with a pet out. I swapped from BM to MM for this achievement in case there were issues with Tierbegleiter. However, this strategy is good for any class with a pet that can solo the boss while you hold the egg on the main platform, or if you have a partner (or group) who can do the damage for you while you sit on the main platform. You don't even need a priest that can cast Glaubenssprung if you don't have one handy! Why? Spoiler: it involves using a toy from Shadowlands - Schicker schwarzer Sonnenschirm (or any parasol toy).

Why is this toy good? You can control your falling! yes yes I know about demon hunters

Taking other comments and their strategies into consideration, I set a stopwatch timer for when I pulled. What I did was tag the boss (start the timer), and immediately jump down to the lower right platform. Immediately kill a bird and grab the wing. Activate it and fly up to the high nest where the golden egg will float up next to. By this point, there should be about 15 seconds on the timer by the time you land on the high platform.

Immediately activate your parasol. Remember, the parasol doesn't activate until you are falling, and will instead look like your character is carrying it with them. Once the cast to activate your parasol ends, your cooldown for your wings should be over. Go ahead and use extra action button for the wings, and hover over where the egg floats up to, with your character aiming at the big center platform with the boss. As soon as the egg floats up, your wings disappear and you start sinking BUT the parasol activates and you can CONTROL your float nice and gently down to the platform. This did not break the golden egg.

At this point, either let your pet or partner kill the boss and you just avoid other abilities.

I actually discovered this after trial and error about 20 times without using the parasol, then got it the first try with the parasol. Hope it works for whoever reads this as well.

TLDR;
Try a parasol toy. I hear it's stylish for this achievement.

Kommentar von xLunacyx

I don't know how I did it. I just put Serrated Bone Spike (maldraxxus rogue) and Rupture on the boss, jumped down to the northeast nest, shuriken'd the eggs and flew up trying to catch egg and land on the outer ledge (which I found out you cannot land there anyways) then i guess boss instantly died at 33% for some reason (had focus on) and I got the achievement. :T
I guess I just got lucky with the DoTs and boss died just as I caught the egg.

Soloed 25 normal as 53 destruction warlock with imp
1. Put Demonic Circle as close to the platform edge as possible (North-East)
2. Started timer, hit Ji-Kun with Chaos Bolt, and twice with Incinerate
3. Jumped down to the nest at ~10s
4. Casted Cataclysm on birds
5. At around 15s flew up
6. Caught Egg and franticly spammed Demonic Circle Teleport
7. IT WORKED!
8. Imp finished off the boss

Good luck (with the achievement and the mount and/or pet)

Kommentar von Xuudon

Figured out this is rather easy with 2 people (possibly solo with a pet class, not tested this). We went in with Mage and Druid. mage caught the egg but was not heading the right direction. We decided to kill the boss while the mage was falling and got the achievement.

Tldr: Have one person catch the egg and slowfall. While that one falls, the other person kills the boss.

Kommentar von AspectofSoul

I haven't discovered why but every time I grab the egg, game disconnects me. I played this as Warlock Nightborne but I assume it doesn't matter because this achievement was bug reported by a dwarf monk in 9.2.5 on blizzard forums. The exact same happens to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BLJI*!@dq0&t=1s

Does anyone know what might be causing it? I tried disabling addons, restarting game but nothing helps.

Kommentar von wolf231

Hey all,

I was able to solo this following similar steps as the other posts but as a Wind walker monk on 25 heroic.
All in all, it took me about 45 mins to 1 hour to complete.

Here's my process...

Prerequisites:

Set Xuen to passive and turn off auto abilities, so you can control when he attacks. He'll be our "DOT" while you grab the egg
Watch this video it'll give you a good idea of what to do to solo this achievement
Download Instance Achievement Tracker addon, it announces when you should jump on the platform
Get naked because ...

you'll be able to die and reset faster
you won't two-shot the boss

Get a feel for the timing for catching the egg. I did a few dry runs to make sure I could catch the egg
Get used to resetting quickly

If I failed to get the egg, I would use my feathers to get to the top of the map and take fall damage on the main platform

Steps:

Get to the right-most side of Ji-kun's platform (underneath is the egg platform you'll jump on)
Get Ji-kun down about halfway
Summon Xuen and jump
Wait a couple of seconds then get Xuen to attack the boss
Grab the feather and race up to where the egg drops (the video covers where this is)

Possibly not the most optimal way of doing things but I wanted a challenge :D

Best of luck!

Kommentar von sadakathewolf

Okay, i found an alternative way to solo this if you have a pet:

- Begin the match normally and damage the boss down to 40%
- kill the birds on the nest close to the golden egg, and fly toward the egg, but position yourself OVER its spawn
-As the egg spawns, remove the slow fall buff, and let yourself fall

If you timed it correctly, you will automatically grab the egg at the same time the whirlwinds brings you up to the platform, having the eggs in your hands. You fall slightly faster than the egg so you will catch it up. Let your pet finish the boss.

I found this out by mistake, but then i could repeat it on my alt character, so it happened to be an easy way to get back to the platform not being a DH

Kommentar von Zedrock

Alrighty then. Fellow mages rejoice, for this achievement is possible with a mere 6 button presses.

Spec frost.
First off, you'll need Wasserelementar beschwören, and immediately set to Passive! (Thanks Aelam)
Grab Große Unsichtbarkeit and Zeitverschiebung.
Make a quick macro like this.

#Showtooltip
/Cast Waterbolt

Now, put that macro, Alter Time, and slow fall on your bar in the easiest to reach keybindings while still moving your character and adjusting your camera as needed. Click the time by the minimap and pull out your stop watch.

Now here's the strategy I used.

Waterbolt Macro
Start Stopwatch
Jump down to the hatchlings platform.
Eisnova and collect 2 Dädalische Schwingen.
Immediately fly back up to the main platform.
Wait til stopwatch shows 20 seconds
Cast Zeitverschiebung
Cast Langsamer Fall and jump off towards the nest. (Dädalische Schwingen may still be on cooldown, that's okay. Just get ready to click it and fly directly to the egg as it falls.)
Let Zeitverschiebung return you to the platform, and spam that macro to kill the boss.

If anything at all goes wrong, or you just want to practice catching the egg, just pop Große Unsichtbarkeit and the boss will reset (And if you're falling you'll be instantly teleported to the edge of the main platform!) no death necessary. Plus the encounter will reset the cooldown, so you can just hop right back into it within seconds of the boss respawning.

Hope this helps someone some day!

Kommentar von ziberia

CAN BE SOLO'ED BY ANY CLASS WITH RANGED DOT ABILITY.

As of now, probably earlier, but technically also as of now, the bosses will die after 1-2 damage hits, max. This means you can solo this as long as you can cause DoT-damage from the air.

You just engage the boss, jump down on the platform, pick up the feathers and start flapping towards the golden egg. On the way, you DoT the boss. You then grab the egg and you start falling. The boss dies while you're falling and you get the achievement.

I used an ability that killed the boss 3 seconds after application. So I had three seconds to grab the egg. The damage needs to kill the boss about 2 seconds after you grab the egg otherwise you won't make it.

It's not hard. Practice everything a couple of times, flapping, engaging, knowing exactly where the egg will fall, etc.

Kommentar von MikioDesu

As of 10.0 (Dragonflight), you can EASILY solo this achievement IF you have a Lodergugel. Yes, it's a specific item, but you don't have to have any dots or any finesse that these other strats have. It's easiest on a rogue especially, since Vanish is convenient for reset. If you're not a rogue, you can alt+F4 and stay logged for like 10-20 minutes to reset the boss. After stripping naked to not 1 shot the boss with a pulling hit (I used Pistol Shot), you immediately jump down on the Northeast nest below the arena, clear the nest to make the feather appear, use the extra action button to fly to the upper NE nest that the Golden egg drops to the left of (if you're facing Ji Kun while standing on the nest). THEN while on this nest, use your handy dandy Schicker schwarzer Sonnenschirm that you got in Shadowlands. There should be a message at about this time of Ji Kun about to thrash about or something. Point is, a message prompts up across the screen. After the sound from the message ends, you can jump off the left side of the nest for the egg catch and your parasol will let you glide in the area to catch the egg (which you don't have to click on, if you're near it you auto catch it). Now the hard part is over. Sail down to the platform Ji Kun is on and let the Flaring Cowl tick her to death and it's GG. Avoid the greed puddles just in case.

Kommentar von Stephanavich

So as many others on here have said, this can be solo'ed by any class with a ranged DOT ability. I HEAVILY recommend testing out your ability to pull the boss then grab the feather then grab the egg within the 20 seconds it takes for the egg to drop BEFORE trying to kill the boss. You only get one chance per week per alt to run this raid. Although you can't jump off the edge to reset the fight you can still use the feathers to fly up and then fall on a platform to take fall damage.

I personally just got this achievement on my lvl 70 Highmountain BM Hunter. I had been trying to get this achievement on several alts over the course of the past few days and the main difficulties I faced were related to the speed at which the DOTs ticked. Some classes were too slow and others were much too fast.
I ended up getting the achievement on 25 man heroic by dismissing my pet, taking off all my gear and only using a bow/shoulder that I got from Throne of Thunder itself. (I needed a weapon to use my bleed ability and I wanted it to not bring my stats up too much. Also, I found that it didn't quite do enough damage without any gear, so I wanted one other weak piece to buff my stats slightly) I made sure to start the in-game stopwatch at the same time that I pulled the boss using a taunt (nondamaging stuns/interrupts also work), you could auto-attack but that might throw off the time the DOT kills the boss. I then jumped down to the North East platform/picked up the feather. From there I waited will the stopwatch was at 10-12 seconds then used the feather to start to fly up towards the boss platform. I did not land but instead did a drive-by of sorts to use Stachelpfeil to apply the bleed. I then flew up to the spot where the egg dropped and caught it just in time to get the achievement.

I also found this video to be helpful in knowing where the egg drops from, https://youtu.be/tPt5hb8rkV4

Kommentar von gibblett06

Soloed on a level 70 warlock after attempting to do the ranged dot thing on another toon.

Preparation: Voidwalker out. Get naked. Place demonic circle near the edge (about 3 o'clock on the mini map).

Let my voidwalker pull him with one smack (didn't one shot).

Went down and killed the birds. Got the feather. Flew to spawn point. Caught egg. Spammed demonic circle: teleport til I teleported to platform. Told pet to attack and kill boss.

Done!

Kommentar von WizardDani

After 2 months (that is, 8 tries, once a week), I finally managed to solo this as a Frost Mage.

You will need Spellsteal, Alter Time, Icy Veins, Slow Fall and Mirror Image. Please macro Icy Veins with Mirror Image, so that you spawn both your Water Elemental and your Mirror Images at once (they will do the DPS for you). You will also need to do this on Normal difficulty. My character had an ilvl of 427 as of 10.1.7.

For map locations and references, please check other comments, there are tons of coordinates, images and videos that show where you should go to (by far, this video here is my favorite: https://youtu.be/tPt5hb8rkV4).

1. In front of Ji'Kun, place yourself right next to the nest platform with eggs, where you'll get the feathers. Before doing anything else, set up WoW's stopwatch (by clicking on the clock/time), and manage to start the stopwatch at the same time you use Spellsteal on Ji'Kun (have the boss targeted already - you can use your left hand to activate Spellsteal and your right hand to click on the stopwatch, simultaneously).
2. Cast Alter Time
3. Jump to the nest platform, kill the eggs, grab the feathers and click on Alter Time, so you get back to the main boss platform.
4. Quickly use the macro (Icy Veins + Mirror Image), click on the feather extra button and fly up to where the egg will spawn. It is important you reach this point before your stopwatch marks 20 seconds, as that is when the egg spawns. If you mess up, don't worry, just use Greater Invisibility and start over. In fact, I highly recommend just practicing where to catch the egg before going for the achievement, as you can only do this once a week.
5. Once you're hovering near the egg spawn point, quickly use Slow Fall.

If done correctly, the egg will spawn right where you are, or perhaps below or above you - it's okay, you'll grab it as well as long as you're close enough. While you're slow falling to the nothingness, your Mirror Images and Water Elemental will quickly DPS down the boss for you. Once the boss is dead, you'll get automatically teleported to the main platform, having earned your well-deserved achievement. :)

Enjoy!

Kommentar von JPObserver

Why are people making this so complicated....

First I wondered how players could see this egg, then I saw a clip where it always spawns.
But why on earth do I have an obligation to fly up to the egg like that, just to miss a few hundred times.

There is a much easier way with 2 players

I had 2 Rouges, for vanish sakes.
One that was standing by on the lower nest, and the other standing near boss ready to shoot.

1.) - Rouge 1 shoots, and gets aggro, and make sure you don't have boss still targeted.
2.) - Rouge 2 on nest AOE;s, as boss gets taunted by Rouge 1.
Uses feather and fly up to the nest above and land on it, and stand on the ledge of the nest where the egg spawns.
You should be able to use the next feather again before EGG spawns.
You will see the Egg jumps up first a bit in the air, and then falls.
You do this just before egg falls, trying to grab it that is.

From what I felt, I don't believe you can click on it. I think the egg is made for you to grab it on auto, so you just haft to be under it without any clicking.
I might be wrong, haven't tested though, and I'm not gonna try either.

My sixth try (trial and error 6 times)

Once I caught the egg, I NUKED Boss with Rouge 1, and got the Achieve.

Good luck!

Kommentar von Ondontis

Just soloed this today with a level 61 Rogue alt. I practiced aggroing then catching the egg first, vanishing between attempts. Then, I slowly added more damage, using Poisoned Knife w/ Lethal Poison as the dot. I started out naked but realized I needed to actually keep all my gear on to do enough damage in the narrow time given.
- I stood at the northwest edge, pulled with 2x Poisoned Knives, jumped down, cracked the eggs with Fan of Knives, grabbed a feather and flew up, then on my way up I hit Ji'Hun with 2 MORE Poisoned Knives, and the dot managed to kill her just barely before I would have been caught up in the whirlwind that breaks the egg. In the end, it only took me about 20m of fiddling with timing and damage on this character. I imagine the damage output will vary a lot between characters, so my only recommendation is to start light, naked, and freeeeee

Kommentar von Adversatius

Just did it as Havoc DH. Was in my normal 455 DH Gear.
Started stopwach on pull (taunt).
Jumped down and picked up feathers and almost immediately flew up to the nest, got in position and around 18 sek into fight popped Immolation Aura (not sure if its a talent but as havoc DH it lasts 10 sek). Then used DH glide (double spacebar) to direct myself to the boss, canceled it midair to fall a bit faster right into the boss and killed it with Immo-Aura.
At least for me it was way easier than toying around with damage tests etc.
If you fail it just queue for follower dungeon and leave it so you get ported infront of the raid and only have to run from the previous boss.
