Magnakilro's Guide to Glory of the Hellfire Raider

Unread post by Magnakilro »

One last jaunt into the ol' 'helping others get pretty things' breach before expansion's end!

LES DO IT!

This time we tackle the 13 achievements that'll unlock the Infernal Direwolf mount...a rideable fel wolf!

---------

1: Nearly Indestructible: Complete the Hellfire Assault encounter without the cannons falling below 90% hp. The cannons can't be healed. The biggest thing is the 2 Artillery Cannons that spawn. These can screw you VERY quickly. The first spawns to the left ( if you are facing the citadel) after the first Crusher. The other spawns on the right after the second Flamebelcher. Make sure to blow these up pretty much as soon as they pop up. Other than that, just keep everything else off the cannons.

----

2: Turning the Tide: You need to kill 10 Hellfire Guardians during the Iron Reaver encounter, then kill her. The guardians are untargetable orcs that spawn on the raised ledges on either side of the citadel: 5 on the left, 5 on the right. Since they can't be targetted, you can't hurt em. So how do you do the do? You DO have that gigantic robot pounding on your raid..hmmmmmm. Basically you need to lure her into blasting the orcs with her Barrage ability. Make sure all of em are dead before you kill her.

---

3: Waves Came Crashing Down All Around: Kill Kormrok without getting hit by Fel Outpouring and Empowered Fel Outpouring. See those waves? Dodge em. Personal so only YOU don't hafta be a dingus, not the entire raid

---

4: Don't Fear the Reaper: Complete the Hellfire High Council encounter by killing the trio within 10 secs of each other. Dps em down evenly, keeping in mind they have different hp amounts as well as Dia's 25 yd immunity aura. Do note Jubei'thos can't die during Windwalk and Felstorm.

---

5: A Race Against Slime: Kill Kilrogg Deadeye before Ariok dies. Basically a speed kill. You have a lil over 5 mins to complete the encounter.

Clearing this ach unlocks Ariok as a follower. He's basically an 'I Win' button for all Single Follower missions.

---

6: Get in My Belly!: You need to kill the Spirit of the Crone, then kill Gorefiend. How this works is you need to first FIND this add. Where is she? Read the ach title. Now this is the important part: You can't just enter whenever you want and find her. YOU HAVE TO SEND PPL IN DURING FEAST OF SOULS! Ppl in the belly during Feast of Souls will see 3 Remnants of the Crone. Kill all 3 before the phase ends and the Spirit of the Crone will spawn outside. Kill her, kill Gorefiend, ach get.

---

7: Pro Toss: Kill Iskar without anyone holding the Eye of Anzu for more than 5 seconds in a row. If dps and heals are good, you can just have 2 ppl just focused on throwing it back and forth the entire fight (one being a dispeller for Fel Obliteration).

Its best to NOT throw the eye to ppl during Phantasmal Winds for this ach as this greatly increases the chance to fail. On Norm difficulty, if you are far enough back, Phantasmal Winds will never get strong enough to push you off. In fact if you last till 6 secs of wind left, it weakens and you push back against it.

For pet collectors, Iskar can drop the Corrupted Nest Guardian pet...a fel apexis golem. This is the only pet that drops from WoD raids.
---

8: I'm a Soul Man: Kill Socrethar the Eternal after killing 20 Haunting Souls in 10 secs. Best way to do this is to have 3 druids with Mass Entanglement...taking turns recasting it on ghosts as the previous is about to drop. Ghosts spawn in packs of 6, meaning you need 4 waves to spawn. Do note the portal switches locations after the 4th wave. Using the construct to catch the ghosts in Fel Prisons can work, just make sure to destroy all the prisons before the final burn.

Ghosts that pop via casting Virulent Haunt or the robot getting too close do not count.

---

9: Non-Lethal Enforcer: Kill Tyrant Velhari without killing the Ancient Enforcer. The Ancient Enforcer is her phase 1 add. Clear the fight without killing it. Having a 3rd tank to hold him out of harm's way is ideal.

---

10: This Land Was Green and Good Until...: Kill Fel Lord Zakuun without anyone absorbing Rumbling Fissures. Fissures are the green swirlies that eventually spawn Fel Crystals. You need to allow him to spawn every single crystal he wants to. If a fissure spawns on you, move out of it.

---

11: You Gotta Keep 'em Separated: Kill Xhul'horac without triggering Shadowfel Annihilation. Shadowfel Annihilation is triggered when a player with the Feltouched debuff takes Shadow dmg or a player with the Voidtouched debuff takes Fire dmg. It also triggers if Chaotic Felblaze (green fire) and Creeping Void (purple fire) touch each other.

This ach is a LOT easier after the recent nerf Norm HfC received as the adds no longer spawn fire. Just make sure Fel Surge and Void Surge are dropped as far apart as possible. Also PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR DEBUFFS! Do remember also, that existing flames do spread on their own, so kill fast.

---

12: Bad Manner(oth): Kill a Doom Lord using Empowered Felseeker, then kill Mannoroth. Doom Lords only spawn in p1. Empowered Felseeker is only used in p4. You need to keep one alive till p4, and longer still till the Felseeker is cast..then drag the Doom Lord into the circular radius of the Felseeker until it explodes and dies. Remember that Doom Lords cast Mark of Doom, which instantly kills you if you don't take damage before it expires.

A third tank keeping the Doom Lord occupied and out of harm's way is ideal.

---

13: Echoes of Doomfire: Kill Archimonde while Doomfire is still on the field. Basically, you just need to keep a Doomfire Spirit alive for pretty much the entire fight. It takes about 2 mins for the fire to despawn.

Wow thanks for those :) Unfortunately I still have to complete the Panda ones and will probably save these for Legion, but maybe I'll give them a try ;)

Hey np! Just a small note for Bad Manner(oth)

When you get Mark of Doom, there is a purple ring around you...if you safely pop mark by taking dmg, anyone in that ring will take over 100k dmg. So keep that in mind when going for this ach
