Blizzard gets more awesome with every reference.
Do a Barrel Roll!

Comment by catspats31

This is one of the popular quotes said by Peppy in Star Fox 64. It's pretty nice for Blizzard to put in a bunny icon as a tribute to this quote.

And just in time for Star Fox 64 3D. Great timing Blizzard. It seems that Blizzard is also waiting for one of the best games ever to make its return.

Oh my god the icon. XD

Comment by darknesscalls

What exactly is that icon? Rabbit or something?

EDIT: Question answered, thanks. Makes sense now :P

Comment by Runawaynow

Seriously though, do all 4 pieces have to be completed at the same time or are particular pieces saved between multiple kills (similar to the Omnitron achieve)? Please post if you have this information :)

Comment by Ambellina

According to GuildOx, this seems to be the only achievement for Glory of the Firelands Raider that hasn't yet been completed by any guild, with all heroic bosses killed excluding Ragnaros and the other 5 achievements completed.

Comment by TomatoSauce

That is the best possible image for this achievement.

Comment by Glowyrm

Hardest achievement in 25m this tier :)

Comment by Hieuro

Annoying bird! I'm the great Leon!

Comment by Elvador

Since Wowhead is only showing "Alysrazor slain" 4 times...

Here is the ingame criteria aka stuff you should not get hit by (as of patch 4.2):

Brushfire (Flying Phase): The Blazing Talon Initiate conjures a fiery ball that moves across the arena.
Incendiary Cloud (Flying Phase): Alysrazor periodically creates an increasing number of Incendiary Clouds lasting for 3 seconds.
Lava Spew (Flying Phase): Plump Lava Worms spew a molten cone of fire, dealing damage to all enemies within a 35 degree cone.
Fiery Tornado (Transition after Flying Phase): Fiery Tornadoes erupt from the Fiery Vortex and begin moving rapidly around Alysrazor's arena in circles.

Remember: The achievement says, every raidmember has to avoid everything.

This achievement looks like it's based on the Mimiron achievement Set Up Us the Bomb, which could be done in multiple parts, meaning that one week your raiders could focus on not getting hit by Brushfires, Clouds and Lava Spews, and the next week you strictly avoid the Vortexes.
Also the achievement criteria counts for each raidmember. So following the example above, if someone is not able to raid the second week, where you avoid the Vortexes, he still has completed the 3 other criteria and so it is possible for him to get another raid in which every raidmember avoids the Vortexes and so he still gets his achievement.

Long story short: Every raidmember has to avoid things, but each raidmember gets personal credit.

Edit: Ascendance on EU-Alonsus was the first guild to complete this achievement, so they also were the first ones who completed Glory of the Firelands Raider.
Other Edits: Typos ;)

apparently not ... these guys did it 50mins ago... so i guess u have to do it on 1st try without any fails so u get only 1 try per lockout like majordomo achievement

quite retarded because its not in the requirement log

Comment by Zz0mg

lol, I remember when I was playing Starfox on my N64. good times

Comment by Zz0mg

The best strategy to defeat Alysrazor is to keep firing at his legs. When he only has one leg left he simply just loses balance and falls down and can hardly do anything

Comment by Scoutdude3000

Z or R twice!

Comment by Thegenius

Just wanted to verify that even if you avoid everything, if you die before she's dead you will not receive credit for the achievement. We had 8 in our raid receive it but everyone else did not, anyone who didn't get credit happened to be dead.

Comment by Isiwien

You will not receive this achievement if you are dead on the kill.
You will receive this achievement if you die and get ressed/use ss/ankh.

Edit: It seems like if you whine enough to a Game Master in game he'll grant you the achievement. Had a couple of guildies doing this.
Edit 2: It seems like if the GMs turn you down - simply keep on trying. One of my guildies got it after whining to 4 different GMs. He also had proof in a World of Logs log where he was marked as "Dead" and not as "Ghost" on the kill.

Comment by DeeArrVee

The in-game version of this achievement currently has a typo: "Incindiary Cloud"

Comment by titchyyy

After the nerfs in 4.2, the hardest part of this achievement was to not walk into the BACK of a tornado, they move at walking pace now.

Comment by Valei

With the nerfs and pretty high dps on 10man it is possible to zerg Alysrazor down before a tornado phase actually occurs, supposing you only need that part of the achievement.

My guild used 7 dps, 2 healers and 1 tank, and we eventually had all 7 dps flying up top to zerg her. We had 3 people go up right at the start, sending melee up first as ranged could nuke the boss from below helps whittle her down. Of course if you have a fire mage or shadowpriest, they should go up first since they benefit rediculously more, especially with the Alysrazor's razor buff, than most melee classes.

After the first "swoop" down, we sent 3 more dps go up. Bloodlusting here is beneficial since you can use the full duration here with the most dps actually being able to hit her. The 7th dps down below finishes off adds until he is able to go up when the final "swoop" occurs. Of course between the final "swoop" and her dieing, the adds can be a bit more of a handful with the mass of Brushfires and Fieroblasts hitting, but if you were like us, and couldn't have a select few handle tornadoes, then you might as well try.

We were barely able to kill her before the tornadoes came out, with a dps from the 2nd set of dps to fly up, falling and dieing. Noting that we were without a fire mage, and had 4 melee dps. So if you have the luxury of more ranged and a mage or two, you should be able to have a easier time.

Comment by Mormolyce

Intensive study has revealed that approximately 5-10% of the population at large exhibit a curious motor-neural dysfunction which makes them categorically incapable of avoiding mechanics like rotating whirlwinds without messing up their Arwings. This is known as "Lord Scrubbington's Syndrome".

If you attempting to do this on 25-player this can pose quite the pickle (especially if you are trying multiple components of the achievement at once). Here's a handy tactic we used: each attempt, take note of the people who are taking damage from whirlwinds. An addon like RaidAchievement is a huge help for this. After a few successive failures add these people to the "DIAF" group - these people wait until Alysrazor lands then run to the fire at the entrance to the room and kill themselves. With the nerfs and a decently geared group you should have no trouble taking down the boss within the burn phase or shortly after (on normal mode). You can even battle res the deadies after the whirlwinds if necessary.

Also, thanks to the nerfs the druids are now stunnable, so you can stop them from casting brushfire (which unlike the dot they cast cannot be interrupted) altogether. We had an arms warrior and a warlock (one destro one demo) on each side - the warrior charges to interrupt the first cast, then my rogue drops a 5-point glyphed RS-buffed kidney shot on the second, this should last until it dies (my counterpart on the other side was a kitty with their 5pt stun, I believe this was also long enough). The warrior can peel off early and charge the next druid when it does its first cast and throwdown the second. Always wait until they are at least halfway through a cast before stunning to get the maximum amount of time out of it (not too long though, beware of latency).

However sometimes you will have a worm turning towards you just as you need a stun on the druid - this is where the warlock's shadowcrash/pet stun is invaluable (pets can get hit by the worm without failing the achievement). I'm sure many other classes' stuns will work fine, these were just the ones we used. The two side teams should also stand on the little hills on the edges of the rooms while waiting for the next druid, which puts you well out of range of the worms the rest of the time.

As for the people in the sky well, I've never been up there, my advice is to use the boost to get through.

Why is everyone referencing Star Fox 64, where the original quote is from the SNES version?

Am I the only person here so old that I was playing games in '93?

Comment by Wish46

You can also perform a Barrel Roll in the racing game Wipeout HD (pressing left, right, and left (or right, left, right)) while in the air.
Your ship makes a Barrel Roll, costing you energy, but rewarded by a slight speed boost upon landing.
Also note that the Barrel rool grants a sweet gfx effect, with world upside down.

Comment by Piesmarts

My raid group got this last night (just had tornado and brushfire). We had one player die from lag, but we brezzed him and he got the achievement. So if you're alive at the end, you'll get credit.

I guess you could say we semi-zerged it- we had 2 tanks/2 heals/2 add dps on the bottom and sent four dps up top. First few attempts someone ate brushfire, but I downloaded RaidAchievement so everyone would see who failed. After that brushfire was not a problem.

We've always had bad luck with tornadoes. We tried the strat of healing through standing in the vortex (3-heal) but it was too much of a clustereff. So we decided to just find the sweet spots (a few of us stood at about 3 o'clock) and it took us two attempts with that.

Comment by savagy

Excellent screenshot!

Comment by Tyro

We did this on normal mode with little trouble tonight, getting all of the requirements in one kill. Two things made the difference for us compared to past weeks of attempts:

1. Get the RaidAchievement addon (recently updated to work with Firelands). Have someone with raid assist set it up to output to raid warning. It will tell you who/what/when for taking the bad damage. No failure announcements means you are in the clear! The stock achievement tracker built into the UI will not tell you if you've failed any of the parts while she is alive.

2. For tornadoes, set up a raid marker just outside of the center of the ring, in the lane of the innermost tornado, in a spot between two tornado spawn points. This may take one wipe to mark correctly. Have everyone meet at that marker immediately once she starts circling. When the tornadoes go active and start rotating, everyone simply runs in a group behind the tornado until she burns out, at which point you'll kill her.

Stacking on the innermost route has two advantages. First, the tornadoes won't do damage until they all move out and start rotating, so you will have longer to see where they are spawning and to let people feel comfortable and oriented. Second, having no tornadoes on one side of you (the center) seems to calm people as well as providing a visual boundary, the glowing fire in the center, to run around.

Comment by amandam

Mages, if you are used to cheating the tornado phase with Ice Block just be aware that you can't do that for this achievement. It says "without getting hit by", not "without taking damage from". This is probably the same for pally bubble too. On one attempt I did try to go to the outer wall where you would normally die from harsh winds (by the wall o fire where you enter) and I iceblocked there and didn't get hit by any tornadoes, but I don't know if this is a reliable method to get this achievement since it wasn't the attempt I finally got it on.

Comment by Luckiest13

11/29/11 First night of patch 4.3 - How we avoided the TORNADO PART of this meta. (Works for other ones too I suppose if you pay attention...)

We decided to go into Firelands tonight to complete our Metas, this was one of the last two we just had never finished.

This was completed VERY easily. In fact, we two shot it (after initially attempting a different strategy)

Raid Composition:

(1) Tank - Feral Druid in this case
(2) Healers - Resto Sham/Holy Paladin
(5) Ranged DPS - 2 Fire Mages, Shadow Priest, Warlock & A BoomChicken
(2) Melee DPS - Warrior/Enhance Sham for adds

HOW We did it:

Burned the *%$#! out of her.

Essentially we pulled her, popped heroism and burned. Mages went up first and then the rest of the ranged DPS'd from the middle until they could go up.

The Feral Tank picked up both hatchling adds & killed them while everyone else focused boss.(The tank averaged 150k dps lol) We had two melee assigned to the adds on the ground (don't forget about them!)

Both the hatchling adds died about 30 seconds before the first tornado phase hit, and by 30 seconds to first tornado phase the boss was at 10%. We killed her with plenty of time to spare.

IMO, if you have the gear - this is by far the easiest route to do it ;-) Best of luck!

If you write "do a barrell roll" on google.com the screen will actually do a barrell roll :D

Comment by Twinsen01

It's important to know that you have to be alive to get this achievement. It is not raid-wide.

Comment by alewis21

This boss (and achievement) made me drop keyboard turning. Tornado phase impossible to avoid if you're KB-t.

Comment by Gripnsip28

This achievement is NOT raid wide. Meaning if you don't receive the achievement it is YOUR FAULT because you got hit by one of the attacks which negate the achievement.

Comment by Corq

"This achievement is NOT raid wide. Meaning if you don't receive the achievement it is YOUR FAULT because you got hit by one of the attacks which negate the achievement." - Gripnsip28 I would like to give this comment recognition it deserves. It appears that this is actually true. I was in a raid and only a few people got this achievement. We were all in the raid at the same time and did exactly the same thing. Dispite what the achievement says, it can happen. It may be a bug, who cares. Bottom line, it happens.

Comment by Ashleyy

As of 5.1 I could solo this achievement as a Ret pally. It took about 15 attempts to get the fight down but when i did I received the attachments and the mount. The picture of the mount drop is on that part of wow head and you can check my attachments for proof. Doing this solo is SO much easier than trying to teach a group how to do this.

Comment by ilostmahbucket

10 dps at 90 (some geared, some not so much) lust and nuke. She flew off with ~30% and we had two people chase her with three feathers to finish her off. Dead before hatchlings spawn.

Comment by Devylknyght

FYI dont die while doing this achievement. you wont get it but everyone else will. had a ticket in and they just confirmed that.

Comment by LordVHF

This achievement is soloabe... I did it as a feral druid.

Comment by Elanorea

Not sure why comments about soloing have been downvoted, solo is indeed the easiest way to get this achievement at level 90, as long as you have a decently geared dps spec, since you need to kill her before the second phase. About 214k dps is needed, which should not be too hard to achieve since you'll be taking advantage of Blazing Power (stacking to 25) and Alysra's Razor.

Pick up 3 feathers, go in the air and start nuking the boss, fly through the rings to maintain your buff. When the boss goes down fly down after her but don't land, just fly slightly above her and keep dps-ing. Repeat until boss dies. If you do this, you will not be hit by any of the attacks in the achievement, or indeed take any damage at all. Getting past the trash solo is probably harder than this achievement.

Comment by Andera

You can now stand on a rock all the way to the west to avoid everything. You just need to have enough ranged dps.

Comment by Linden79

I just soloed this with 150K dps as an elemental shaman. I assume this method would also work for any dps class with healing capabilities. First pick up the 3 feathers and immediately get right on Alyrazors tail. I had problems with her getting too far away and resetting so stay close. Try to hit every ring you can for the haste buff and continue riding her tail and dpsing until she begins to fly in a rapid circle. Land to the east on the rocks circling the fight area and wait out the hellish fiery vortex phase keeping yourself healed throughout. As soon as she enters her burn out phase, where she takes 50% more damage, run in and finish her off.

Comment by Atistun

In order to complete this achievement, aside from meeting the criteria mentioned, you must stay alive. If you perish at all during the instance, it takes the achievement.

Comment by Lihborg

Ok, so after weeks of trying to do this achi. I actually got it by chance. So i was doing FL with a few friends who needed to do the legendary quest. So mid Aly fight my ISP goes whack and i disconnect, my friends being not very nice people kick me from the raid, thinking i was afk/DC. So 4 mins later i log back in get ported out and within a minute after I get the achi. Show my friends and low and behold witness them cry over skype. So if youre having trouble, I guess you can engage, plug out your internet, log in again leave grp, tele out and wait for your raid to kill the thing without you and get the achievement:)

Don't believe me? Just check Mamon lvl 90 dk on ravencrest EU

Comment by maely

This is one of the hardest achievements I've ever soloed in WoW. For me, the most difficult aspect of this achievement was preventing the boss from resetting. She reset about 20 or 25 times before I successfully achieved it. i565 disc priest, self-healing not an issue, dps only about 125k however. This is what worked for me:

All I needed left entering this week was avoiding the worms' Lava Spew. I started the fight and popped Power Infusion and Mindbender right off the bat. Grabbed three feathers and flew up into the air. Stayed up in the air for only about 45 sec, though.

For me, the main time she reset was when she was swooping low and flying through the middle. So as soon as I heard a female voice shout out "We call upon you, fire lord!" I made a bee-line for the ground. Specifically, the west side of the arena so that I remained in range of her when she landed. I pewpew'd her from the ground for several seconds (hatchlings are beating on me at this point), but once she'd gone halfway through the middle I flew back up into the air and got right on her ass. If I wasn't on her ass during these low swoops, she reset. And I needed to refresh my wings anyway.

So she completes the first swoop, and I'm pewpew'ing her from the air again. After several seconds, you'll hear a female voice call out "Let the unbelievers perish in fire!" Keep pewpew'ing but get ready to land again in 15-20 seconds. As soon as I saw the raidwarning announce that "Fiery lava worms erupt from the ground!" I made a bee-line for the ground again. She's about to do her second low swoop through the middle. (If I'm not mistaken, I was able to hit 25 stacks of the stacking buff and gain Alysra's Razor *right* as I saw the "Fiery lava worms erupt..." raid warning.)

At this point, hatchlings are beating on me again so I tried to flirt with the Lava Worms while at the same time making sure I wasn't getting hit by their Lava Spew. I think twice a hatchling peeled off of me and sliced up the Lava Worm instead. Cool. This was especially useful because I knew the fiery vortex was about to hit, and it was going to be difficult for me to see/avoid the Lava Worms once that started up. So I kinda cleared the area around me and healed through the vortex while standing on the ground. I popped a Pain Suppression here at some point (hatchlings were shredding me...). Big heals.

When I saw that she had Burned Out, I hit Power Infusion and popped a potion and went nuts. When I finally saw that she was at Full Power, I ran up close to her and grabbed feathers that had just spawned. At this point, she was very low on health, so I just flew back up into the air (piss off hatchlings!) to complete the fight. gg.

tl;dr -- Stay right on her ass while she's flying around, and she shouldn't reset.

Comment by Morpheusrj

Soloed as a Ret Paladin. Easy fight! Just grab 3 feathers and dps as hard as you can. Try not miss any rings and avoid the explosions. I finish the boss with 195k final dps and before phase 2. ilvl 558 btw.

Comment by Surveysays

Solo'd as Ret Paladin - 223k DPS, 558 iLvl. Took 2 min 51 secs.

Everything you need to know:

Start dps on him as soon as you can while on the ground. He will start by the pool of lava and slowly move across the center of the room dropping feathers. Keep DPS on him while clicking on three feathers to start flying. He is prone to reset at this time so what I would do is allow him to get 2/3 of the way across the room before you click the last feather to avoid it resetting as soon as you go up in the air.

For the achievement the only thing you have to avoid are the incendiary clouds as you should be flying the entire fight (if you do fall to the ground just grab another feather asap and get back on him). The clouds are fairly small, red and come out directly behind him so you want to move with him but to his side to avoid them. As you fly, go through as many of the fiery rings as you can as they give you a stacking haste buff.

When he goes low and drifts across the middle of the room stay above him and to the side.

Other then the incendiary clouds, the boss will randomly reset if you don't stay close enough to him and keep him engaged. If he resets, get ready to Divine Shield to avoid dying; wait a couple min for him to reset and then click the feather on the ground to restart the encounter.

You will probably want the mods "Raid Achievement" and "Raid Achievement_OldModules" (on Curse) to let you know if you fail any of the criteria.

Comment by Ironicbay

I did it with 3 friends yesterday. I decided to stay in the air to damage the boss, while others were just... Well, hanging around and dying.

They all died, taking a lot of aoes, and pretty much ruining the achievement. I finished the boss by myself, and got the achievement. Of course, they didn't.

So what I can tell is that when people die during the fight, even if they got hit by the listed aoes, the achievement will sort of reset for you. As I finished it alone, it only considered the aoes I had taken, which means zero.

I guess this achievement, if you want it done in one run, is better done in solo. Just stick to the boss (flying) and dps him down, it's a lot of efforts not to reset him, but once you got how to do it it's just a matter of time. Not too hard with the current gear, did that with some SoO's LFR gear. Good luck !

Comment by vicbreizh

Just easily solo'ed it with my 562 destro warlock. (slacking a bit to avoid clouds, 180-200k dps)
To prevent reseting of the boss, you just have to go down with her in ground phase, cause if not, you'll be out of range of her and you will be bump out of alys' nest, and she reset.

Just fly, take only the fire rings and avoid incendiary clouds, and nuke her before she goes to tornado phase.

Comment by BulletxF

Confirmed soloable as a shadow priest in 533 disc gear. Just have to make sure that you hit the rings and stay behind the boss in the air. Also, resets can be annoying, but generally if you fly down when the boss goes to drop feathers, it shouldn't reset.
Happy achieve and mount hunting! :P

Comment by jetfire158

The easiest way to get this achievement done these days is to solo it, since the more people you have in your group the higher the chances are that someone will get hit by one of those abilities. However, there are a few things to keep in mind for those who have elected to attempt this. I'm going to talk about the trash mobs first, though, because those can be frustrating. So without further ado:

The key there is to not stand in one spot for too long. As soon as you enter the Shatterstone, 2x Blazing Monstrosity will start casting Molten Barrage, which is a channeled fire bombardment spell that will move slowly toward your position. If it gets to you, you'll die pretty quickly.
First things first, pop CDs and kill the Blazing Talon Clawshapers, interrupting their casts, since they will stun you if you don't, and being stunned would be a very bad thing in this particular situation.
Next, quickly AoE down the Egg Piles, making sure that you aren't standing in one spot for more than a few seconds. I know the eggs don't move, but that's okay, the pile is large enough that you can run in circles around it to make sure you don't get nuked by the channeled fire spell.
Finally, kill the Monstrosities, again while making sure you keep moving as much as possible to ensure the fire never hits you. I imagine this will be more difficult for ranged classes than melee, but I'm assuming they can just pause briefly to throw instant cast DoTs on the mobs.

Okay, now that you've handled the trash mobs, you're practically halfway there. On to the boss and the achievement. A few things to keep in mind:

Since soloing this will require you to be in the air most of the time in order to reach her, you'll need to make sure you are as close to her as possible at all times, especially when she starts heading toward the ground. This is because during this phase she will target someone on the ground if those in the air are not close enough to her, and if no one is down there, she will not have a target and will leave combat due to a lack of aggro.
Be sure to hit as many rings as you can, since you'll lose the feathers if the haste buff falls off. If you have a glider or slow fall you can pop that and wait for her to drop more feathers, but that complicates things since most of the stuff you need to avoid is on the ground.
If you stay in the air for most of the time, the main thing you'll have to worry about is Incendiary Cloud. They'll be round clouds of fire and smoke that appear in the air near the rings.
If she despawns due to lack of a target, (or if you die) simply wait until you are out of combat and the combat arena resets. There will be a single Molten Feather on the ground in front of the area she comes out of. Simply click it to restart the encounter.

As an Unholy DK at ilvl 565 and doing about 150k DPS, I was able to burn her down before she got to the tornado phase. A note to those with CDs involving summoned pets: Pop those CDs right as she comes out, before she takes to the air in order to take advantage of them. Overall, I think it's easiest to just worry about 1 or 2 of the criteria each week, since you don't need to satisfy all in a single encounter.

Good luck on your Firelands meta, and most of all, have fun!

EDIT: P.S.: Apparently if you solo this on Heroic mode it's actually a lot easier, because she does not have a "ground swoop" phase on that difficulty. Therefore, the despawning problem is no longer an issue.

Comment by natcha89

this is now only a one stage easy achievement. you and a friend both fly and just nuke the boss down to dead. then you have the achievement =) have fun !

Comment by jacobma

Just soloed on my item level 479 rogue its super easy, just go through the rings of flames.

Comment by BurnsLikeIce

Just solo'd this on a 512ilvl (Timeless gear, mostly) Bear Druid. Was very easy, especially considering I've never been in the air for this boss before. I grabbed feathers to Fly, stayed close to Alys's tail as I hit her, and made sure to go through the flame rings to keep my flight buff active. All you have to watch for in the air are the Incendiary Clouds. Not hard to avoid if you're paying attention. Flame Ring? Fly into it. Not a flame ring? Avoid.

As a bonus, flying Bears look awesome. But then, I might be biased.
