In jeder Lichtspektrum Phase gibt es ein einzelnes verstecktes Add: Lila, Orange oder Grün in zufälliger Reihenfolge. Man benötigt also drei Lichtspektrum Phasen für diesen Erfolg. Die Position des Adds wird vor Beginn des Lichtspektrums kurzzeitig durch einen weißen Fleck am Boden angezeigt.

Wenn man es sich leicht machen will halten zu Beginn jeder der drei Lichtspektrum Phasen alle nach dem weißen Fleck Ausschau und anschließend bündelt man auf dieser Position alle drei Strahlen. Dann wartet Ihr kurz ein paar Sekunden bis das Add sichtbar wird und deckt dann wie gewohnt die drei versteckten roten Adds auf um die Phase abzuschliessen.

Die Adds müssen lediglich aufgedeckt jedoch nicht getötet werden, sie sind auch nicht angreifbar. Der Erfolg lässt sich erfüllen ohne den Boss zu töten, falls Ihr danach lieber auf Heroic umstellen wollt :)

Patch 8.3.0

Hab den Erfolg am 08. Mai 2020 endlich bekommen...
...und anders als andere behaupten: Man kann ihn also noch machen!

Ich hatte zunächst auch das Problem, dass ich - obwohl ich alle Beams bei mir hatte - keins der 3 benötigten Adds gesehen habe. Daraufhin habe ich immer nach der ersten Phase abgebrochen, da der Erfolg sonst nicht innerhalb des enrage Timers zu schaffen ist. In allen Trys ist nie ein Add aufgetaucht, bis...

...ich irgendwann mal aus Spaß die 2. Beam Phase getestet habe: Und Zack, das erste Add gesehen. Weiß nicht ob ich in der Phase geduldiger war, oder ob die Adds (sofern man sie noch nie gesehen hat) in der ersten Phase verbuggt sind. Im nächsten Try konnte ich dann aber auch die Adds bereits in der ersten Phase sehen.

Ein paar Tipps noch:
• Die Adds spawnten bei mir immer erst nach ca. 1-2 Sekunden, nachdem die entsprechenden Beams an deren Position war. Also nicht ganz so schnell um Durumu laufen, sonst haben die Adds keine zeit zu spawnen.

• Alle 3 Adds (je eins in jeder Beam Phase) lagen auf gleichem Abstand zu Durumu. Immer ca. 1/3 der Wegstrecke zwischen Durumu und Add und 2/3 zwischen Add und dem Rand der Plattform

• Die Adds sind um 1/3 bis 50% kleiner als die größeren blauen / roten Adds.

• Das grüne Add benötigt den gelben und blauen Beam; das orange Add benötigt den roten und gelben Beam und das lila Add benötigt den blauen und roten Beam. Daraus folgt auch, sollten in Phase 1 & 2 bereits das grüne und das orange Add gespawnt sein, ihr in der 3. Beam Phase nicht mit dem gelben Beam mitlaufen müsst, sondern könnt euch etwas schneller bewegen.

• Während ihr in der Beam-Phase auf der Suche nach den special Adds seid, könnt ihr bereits 2 von 3 roten Adds töten. Das dritte rote Add (zum Beenden der Phase) dann natürlich erst, wenn ihr eins der special Adds zu gesicht bekommen habt.

• Die special Adds für den Erfolg (grün, orange, lila) müssen nicht gekillt werden. Es reicht, wenn sie aufgedeckt werden. Ihr bekommt den Erfolg nach der Aufdeckung des 3. Adds (auch ohne den Boss zu killen).

Habe den Erfolg gestern am 26.05.2022 erhalten.
Normal Mode, zu zweit (beide Priester).

Nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten, haben wir es schlussendlich wie folgt geschafft:

1. Normal Mode wählen (man stirbt nicht so schnell).
2. Boss Pullen: Bevor die Strahlen-Phase beginnt, tauchen auf dem Boden einige farbige Kleckse auch - auch ein weißer! Dieste Stelle merken (oder markieren).
3. Mit den Strahlen immer hinter dem gelben Strahl (der bewegt sich meist von selbst) hinterher laufen und dabei in der grünen Fläche bleiben.
4. Langsam bewegen und die Faben quasi "mischen".
5. Nach kurzer Zeit sollte schon der erste der drei Nebelbestien auftauchen.
6. Die großen Bestien töten und in die nächste Phase über geben.
7. Schritte 3-6 wiederholen.

Achtung: Sobald der lila Strahl da ist, den niemals berühren! Instant-Tod! Wir als Priester haben uns gegenseitig raus gezogen, aber eigentlich ist das nebensächlich, hauptsache nicht berühren.
Die lila Fläche ist dabei egal - nur der Strahl ist zu meiden.

Viel Erfolg! :)

Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.

Dr. Peter Venkman: Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.

Obvious reference to the movie Ghostbusters (1984), and its (in)famous line "Don't cross the streams".

"You said crossing the streams was bad" in this exact form is also in the movie at a later time, but its kind of a spoiler.

Kommentar von evilfox04

References aside, the achievement comes from revealing all three beasts.

The Orange Fog Beast is revealed by crossing the Red beam and Yellow beam.
The Purple Fog Beast is revealed by crossing the Red beam and the Blue beam.
The Green Fog Beast is revealed by crossing the Blue beam and the Yellow beam.

Good luck and happy achievement hunting!

Looks like you could do this achieve, wipe then do a regular strat on the kill like you could with the Hagara achieve in DS

Kommentar von aggixx

The dual-colored beasts spawn locations are not independent of each other nor are they hidden. At the beginning of the Light Spectrum phase, along with the Red, Blue, and Yellow pulses there is also a single white pulse. This single white pulse represents the only possible spawn location for a dual-colored add, simply make sure all raid members are clear on which 2 beams should move to the location of that white pulse (it helps to mark it with a raid flare) before the light spectrum begins. Once 2 beams are on top of the white pulse's location a small add, whose color depends on the two beams that spawned it, will spawn that is untargetable and does NOT need to be killed to earn credit for the achievement.

You will need to complete the Light Spectrum phase 3 times (one for each color combination) and after unveiling the final combo you will recieve the achievement.

Kommentar von Goldschakal

When the beamphase starts, everybody can cuddle at the white add.
You wont get a color twice.

Kommentar von 79637

- For this achievement you have to stay through three color phases.
- Combining two beams above the 'white' mob will make it get the color you need.
- You should have everyone look out for the small white cloud when the color phase begins and make sure everyone(!) stands on this location with all three beams when the real beams spawn. This way you can ensure that you will get the correct colors, becaus otherwise it seems buggy when only combining two ones.
- It seems as if the boss will correctly spawn the missing colored adds when standing with all beams on the white add.
- You do not have to kill the boss to get the achievement.

I am wondering if this achievement is related in any way to pale fog beasts
Trüber Nebel

Kommentar von shadra

There is little wrong info in here by horz.
You don't paint the white add at all, white spot indicates add, but it already has his colour ready. So thats why you may think its buggy when you combine two colours which doesnt match the hidden one's colour which causes nothing to reveal.

We discovered this while we are using NPCscan addon. All coloured adds has their unique ID, and we discovered when you enter the light spectrum phase, add is there with his colour, you just cant see what it is, but npcscan caches it so it will tell you which colour it is.

With this tactic we got the achievement only combining true 2 colours on white spots.

So what we did;
Since you don't have to kill boss at all, and you need to survive 3 light spectrums we stacked 4 healers.
Leader added purple orange and green fog beasts' id to npcscan, and cleared cache between every try.

First spectrum: Npc scan yelled it was purple, so we stacked blue and red, and yellow being outside.
PS: Add will not show up instantly, u have to point beams to it for like 3-4 sec.

Whenever add is shown, you must quickly hunt for crimson fogs in order to get phase completed before damage being overwhelming.

Second spectrum It was green this time, so red went to red zones to reveal crimson adds asap since we didnt need him on the white spot.

Third spectrum It was orange, so we stacked red and yellow this time, blue being outside. Whenever add shown, you get the achievement.

IMPORTANT:
-You may get white spot at the same direction with blue indicator, and if add is green or purple you have to reveal blue add, this is highly dangerous, remember, when you reveal blue, you wont take damage BUT when you kill it, or unreveal it (it counts as unreveal if you pass the phase without unrevealing the blue), you will probably wipe. So pop all defensive cooldowns if that happens, or simply wipe and retry.

-Adds including yellow: Orange and green, yellow target must be quick for stacking, otherwise you will have to wait for full round to reveal it. (yellow moves independly)

-Arrange your group on colours, dont panic and have at least 2 person on each colour.

-Maybe the most important! If you are dead when 3rd add revealed, you wont get credit for it! (only the person who is dead) Ticketing didn't solve our mate's problem, gm claimed that person released his corpse before achi, which is impossible since we didnt kill boss at all. Just dont risk it, play safe, and arrange life drains to avoid deaths.

-Stacking healers is good, but remember you also need to kill 3 adds in order to get out of the phase.

-It was hardest one for us, harder then softy hands (ji-kun) Good Luck!

Kommentar von Skeksil

I like this achievement! I'm excited to be a part of it!

Kommentar von Liukus

The three adds are revealed by combining two of the three beams during the Light Spectrum phase. You get one mixed add per light phase and it does vary per attempt. We got purple as first one attempt and orange as first another. You cannot force it to be one or the other. You DO need to get all three in one boss pull and the achievement happens immediately upon revealing the third add.

Orange is revealed by Red and Yellow.
Purple is revealed by Red and Blue.
Green is revealed by Yellow and Blue.

The location of the add spawning is marked by a puff of white smoke similar to the spawning indicators for each of the other adds.

The easiest method to doing this achievement, that we found, was right before the light spectrum phases to cluster near the middle of the room (for ease of getting to the location). We would then drop a raid marker on the white spawn indicator when it came out. We then took all three beams over the smoke the first and second times. The third time we just took the two beams required to spawn that add.

If you're pushing hard modes and/or getting Durumu down in 1-2 light phases this will be cake.

We also made sure to 3-heal this fight for the achievement as dps is not an issue AT ALL, we actually stopped at about 100mil until we got into the third light spectrum phase. We didn't even push past it we just nuked him.

RECAP:

You DO have to go through three light phases and reveal one EACH phase.
You MIX the colors to make Orange/Purple/Green.
You DO NOT need to kill the boss, meaning you can reset the fight if you want to clear on heroic or swap people in.
The Spawn order is random, Stacking ALL 3 beams the FIRST and SECOND light phases simplifies this greatly.
Do NOT forget you still have to deal with Life Drain, Force of Will, and Lingering Gaze.

Kommentar von maely

This is still a rather difficult achievement. Let me give some general tips and some tips for Priest healers.

- I recommend 3 to 5 healers. We did it with 4 (but one died early due to a bad combo of Life Drain/Force of Will). The only DPS requirement is for the Crimson fog beasts during Light Spectrum phases. You don't have to kill Durumu.
- You need three Light Spectrum phases, but the unique color (Green or Orange or Purple) is chosen ahead of time for each Light Spectrum phase. The simplest strategy is to line up all three beams at the correct location IMMEDIATELY at the beginning of each Light Spectrum phase.
- To do this, you'll need to stack in the center of the arena a few seconds BEFORE each Light Spectrum phase. There will be three red flashes, a blue flash, and a SMALL WHITE FLASH. You'll have like seven seconds to react (stack on the white flash of light) before the beams appear.
- I recommend putting pre-markers around the arena (Malkorok-style) and having people say in vent "It's near the purple marker!" when they see the little white flash of light. The little white flash of light is smaller than the normal blue/red flashes.
- If you do it correctly, you will reveal an orange/purple/green hidden add that is SMALLER than the normal red/blue fog beasts (and reveals separately from the normal adds as well).
- When you're down to the third Light Spectrum phase, technically at that point you only need to line up the two remaining beams to reveal the final hidden add. You'll get the achievement IMMEDIATELY upon the reveal.
- Remember that the yellow beam moves on its own, so if you didn't stack on the white flash of light in time, then your best bet is probably to follow the yellow beam with the other two and hope for the best....
- Lining up all three beams causes a very high amount of raidwide AOE damage, and the damage gets worse for each successive Light Spectrum phase. Pop your Tranqs, your Divine Hymns at this point, and worry about regen'ing mana after Light Spectrum. I did this fight in Holy spec instead of Disc as a Priest. I spammed glyphed Binding Heal until 2 stacks of Serendipity for my PoH casts. And I also hit CoH/PoM on cooldown. Divine Hymn should be up for each of the three Light Spectrum phases as well, and don't forget to refresh your Lightwell. You may also want to switch into Yellow Chakra for the Death Beam phases (FDCL has great synergy with Renew spam) but you'll be fine either way if you just stay in Blue chakra the whole time.

Kommentar von Velk1

As of right now it really isn't all that bad.

Spread out around the room, Wait for the white puff of smoke, put a marker on it, have everyone stack on said marker, reveal the add, spread out and have people stand in beams to reduce damage. rinse and repeat.

Kommentar von lastbornnobody

If you're stacking 2 beams and the add won't spawn try stacking all 3.

Kommentar von Shozen

Just a note that you don't need full group for this. we went with 9 members (pug) for a start, 2 tanks, 4 healers and 3 DPS.
2 guys, dps and healer had no idea about the achv and kept screwing up/thrown out by force of will, then they left.
So, we only had 7 left and got worried that the damage might be too much to bear, since it's shared damage. We gave it a shot as 7 members, 2 tanks, 3 healers and 2 DPS and healers said it's actually easier to heal this way.
Also got it first try as 7! since 7 people who know what they are doing are better than 9 2 of them have no clue.
Best of luck for anyone trying this!

Kommentar von timbaLt

If you're doing this at level 100, you can just Slow Fall the player catching the egg and burn the boss before the guy hits the deadzone that drops the egg. Makes this achievement a lot less painful. Make the person catching the egg face towards the platform when they're catching it and they'll likely land on the platform regardless with the slow fall.

Kommentar von Fangnir

its like that game BOP IT! in the 90s

except its

white ring - MARK IT ...... STACK IT! GOOODD! ..... and then kill the 3 reds like normal..... then wait till the next time that phase comes around and repeat,

THE WHITE RING

this spawns just before the lasers actually hurt you giving you time to stack on it
ASA THE PHASE STARTS MARK THE WHITE RING ...its small compared to the rest but its there.

YOU DONT NEED TO BE ALIVE DRUING REVEALING COLORED ADDS TO GET THIS ACHIEVEMENT !

Kommentar von Veratus

This achievement was decidedly un-fun when trying with two people due to trying to manage the tanking debuff, not getting punted off, seeing who has what beam, killing the red beasts, and healing, all at the same time.

So myself (a druid), a shadow priest and a resto shammy pulled it off successfully. Here's a bullet list of how we achieved it:

The shadow priest started with some DPS to get agro and, consequently, the tanking debuff. They didn't go all out - just damaged to make sure they always had more agro than the healer.
Gazes (purple puddles) were dropped towards the outer-middle
We stood closer to the center to make it easier to avoid Force of Will, and to get where we needed to be in the light phase.
Just as the light phase was about to begin, I would turn off my UI and look for the white flash - then EVERYONE would head there.
At around this time, the shadow priest had about 5 stacks of the tanking debuff. We'd switch who was tanking (I taunted and did some quick DPS). The shadow priest stopped DPSIng at this point.
Once we confirm a green/purple/orange beast spawned, the person with the infrared tracking debuff would then stand close to the boss but move the red beam around to reveal the red beasts. We'd nuke that beast and continue spinning the beam to reveal all 3 and get us out of the phase
We'd stay in a holding pattern until beam of disintegration, at which point everyone's tanking debuffs would fall off and we'd do the maze
We ignored life drain. The boss does not need to die, and in fact it can be helpful to let him heal up. Also, if the person with life drain is targeted by Force of Will, they will not get knocked off.
Durumu's agro resets at this point, so we get the Shadow Priest to start doing DPS again.

We just repeated this cycle a further two times. But on the third light phase, we got the achievement and it was over.

Kommentar von Zahorijs

You can solo this achievement with brewmaster monk on 10 men normal. Let the ox tank, do not forget to refresh it. All three beams will target you, so it is easy to reveal fog beasts.

Kommentar von Vanny9

We just did it today after 4 hours of trying. We started with a group of 8 people and ended up finishing it with 4 people because it's much easier. We did it as paladin tank, priest and druid heal and paladin dps, we just split the platform in 4 and each was in charge of looking at his triangle for the white light. We learnt few important things in those 4 hours. First, boss has an enrage timer so you can't miss even one white light in light spectrum phase - after 3 phases he will enrage and kill everyone on the spot. And second, if you're not sure about the light, red and blue beam should stack on yellow and follow it around slowly - this is how we revealed our last mob and finally got the achievement. Hope it helps someone because spending 4 hours on one achievement is insane. But hey, at least we perfected the tactics and mastered the maze walking.

Kommentar von 54426

Having trouble doing this in 7.0.3; the achievement mobs are only spawning intermittently and we're only seeing maybe 1 crimson fog if we're lucky, so we're still stuck w/ beams when the maze part starts. Doing on 10N w/ 2 healers, a tank and 4 dps all with 700-740 ilvl.

Kommentar von taiya

seems to be bugged since the legion prepatch. none of the fogs get revealed at all, even the crimson ones, with all 3 beams stacked.

Kommentar von ItsJohnnyMac

As of the legion patch this achievement is WAY too bugged. Even the basic blue and red fogs sometimes refuse to reveal themselves no matter if you scan the room or see their puddle animation pop up and focus their location with beams. I have yet to even see the unique fogs after 3hrs of work. Please submit as bug if you're also experiencing this issue.

Kommentar von 1283535

I can confirm that this achievement worked for me today on 10 normal. Stacked on the white light three phases, and the three different fog beasts appeared. Just hang out where you saw the light, it may take a seconds for the beams to target you and reveal the fog beast. Note that you do NOT have to kill them, as long as they spawn and then despawn you should get credit.

Kommentar von Dehir

Confirming this achievement completed and achieveable @ 7.0.3 legion.

We tried few hours with setup 2 druid 1 pala. ilvl 840+ Some healing needed but nothing special and overpowering as long as you try to avoid aoe.

Few notes i like to mentions and suggest, that took us/me time to figure out:

- Strongly suggest that you get MaxCam addon if you dont have it allready. Makes way more easier to spot those white blobs spawning on the ground. (As the legion removed console command for Camera zoom)

- The white spot where you should head with Red and Blue beams, will be casted on Light Spectrum.

- Move both light at the white spot. And the Yellow light that you need to mix the colors. Orange and Green. Is casted by the boss. After the 7 seconds has ended.

Thats all. Hope you get it.

Kommentar von Serebear

So not sure what I'm doing wrong but I have revealed all 3 fog beasts but still not recieved the achievement. I was alive when all of them were revealed and seen them all spawn. I have tried relogging and reloading and nothing is working. Has anyone else had this problem? Its really frustrating given its the last achievement I need for the meta.

Kommentar von pikaKipz

Just did as a Rogue with a Druid healer. Its quite easy. This is how we did it.

1. Rogue started to DPS boss to get aggro
2. Wait for color phase
3. Spot the white mist ---> mark it
4. Get your preferred color (we did Orange > Purple > Green)
5. Clear the 3 Fog beasts
6. Rogue vanished so the Druid could take some debuff stacks

Repeat this prosess 2 more times and the achievement is yours. (The achiev will proc before Durumu is dead if you do it correctly).

Some general info; The red laser is used to reveal the Crimson Fogbeasts (These are the only ones that counts towards getting the colorphase over).
You need to line the beams close to perfect to reveal them. The colors are as followed

ORANGE = Yellow + Red
GREEN = Yellow + Blue
PURPLE = Blue + Red.

Kommentar von Sausagesage

As of 10/9/16 can confirm that this is not only doable, but easier done solo. As a resto healer, i was able to survive long enough while self healing and finding all the fogs.

As of patch 7.1 this achievement appears to be bugged.

Again.

I have not been able to spawn tertiary fogs despite stacking all the colours onto the white spot, yet have been able to spawn the crimson and azure fogs.

Edit: 22/11/2016 The achievement appears to be fixed, me and some friends managed to get the achievement earlier today.

Kommentar von Purgatorywolf

Kommentar von Matt453

DO THIS ON NORMAL 10 MAN! Damage is crazy.

Just got the achievement today. Patch 7.1. This achievement was confusing for someone that has never done Throne of Thunder. I will try my best to explain it. There is probably no way for someone to solo this, unless they have a pet as there is a debuff the boss puts on the tank that lowers healing done and you take ALOT of damage in this fight. We did this achievement as both 830 ilevel, holy priest and frost death knight. The holy priest healed, the frost death knight, did the damage to the boss once the achievement was over. The more healers the better, but makes the achievement harder to coordinate everyone stacking at a specific location.
Download DBM for this raid, at it tracks important events. https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/deadly-boss-mods-mop. Also, take a quick look at the adventure guide for the fight, as it will help tremendously. You need to survive three "Light Spectrum" phases of this fight AND it is very important to watch what happens at the beginning of each phase.

YOU WILL GET THIS ACHIEVEMENT PRIOR TO KILLING THE BOSS. (VERIFIED)

Here is my priority list of getting this achievement:

Mark the four quadrants of the boss area with world markers, making sure its the outer perimeter of the circle, as the perimeter of the outer circle is where you need to be.
Pull the boss and whoever is closest to the boss will tank. You do not need to dps at this phase.
WAIT/WATCH PHASE: Make sure your dbm timers are showing up and wait for the "Light Spectrum" phase. As the clock gets closer, spread out on opposite sides of the boss. Once I saw the timer get close to 0, we both moved to opposite sides of the room, clicked ALT+Z shortcut key to get rid of our UI elements and watched for a small white flash of light.
Once someone sees the flash, call out what world marker it is closest to the flash and EVERYONE has to move towards that point stacking on the outer circle perimeter. At this point, you are defining the starting location of the beams and all 3 beams have to line up to reveal an orange/green/purple MINI fog in between the boss and you. It will take a second for the small fogs to appear. If not, make it a priority to wipe or outheal everyone stacking on the beams moving around the boss until you see the small fog.
Once the beams spawn, everyone will have their associated beam that follows them except the yellow beam. The beams persist until all the crimson fogs have been defeated. So the priority is reveal the orange/green/purple MINI fog. Whoever is in charge of the red beam, run circular around the boss and reveal the crimson fogs. Kill all 3 and then your done with that phase. Rinse and repeat 2 more times.
The only other phase you have to worry about is the "Disintegration Beam," its basically an insta-death beam projected out of his eye. He rotates around the room and will spawn this shadow maze. There will be a section of the maze that is not lite up fully (Looks like lightning on the floor). Head there making sure to not go underneath him. Then head the opposite direction that the beam is facing and some of the shadow will disappear to create a maze. It is alright to go in the shadow, but it does do some damage, so just be aware.
If you do not get the achievement after the third phase of "Light Spectrum," you probably didn't see the correct light and didn't reveal the MINI fog. It's your choice to wipe and try again, or try to persist on a fourth phase of "Light Spectrum." Just be aware later on in the boss fight you take more damage.

Quick Tips:
- Hard Stare is a stacking debuff that restricts healing. To negate this, try to swap tanking, especially if it gets greater than 5/6. You will probably die if you dont pay attention.
- The boss will cast Lingering Gaze that spawns purple acid pools on the ground, avoid these at all costs. They will damage you.
- The boss can life drain and stun you. If you are unfortunate for this to happen and get hit with Force of Will (Push Cone) he also spawns randomly, you fly off the map and die. Probably nothing can stop this, it is random unfortunately. This is less likely to happen with more players, although it is harder to coordinate this fight with more than 2 players.
- You lose less damage if AT LEAST 1 player is standing in each beam the entire duration of the phase. I usually tell the white beamed player to follow the yellow beam and then the red beamed player to find the crimson fogs and kill them. The faster this happens, the less overall damage is inflicted.

I HIGHLY recommend a voice chat program like Ventrilo/Curse Voice/Teamspeak etc. as there requires some coordination on where the small white light flashed at the beginning of the phase and only 7/8 seconds to react and get there in time.

Be patient with this achievement and DO NOT GIVE UP. It is the hardest raid achievement to get in Pandaria.

Here is how to SOLO the "You Said Crossing the Streams Was Bad" Achievement (as of Patch 7.1.5).

This method can be completed by all classes, however it will be easier for tank classes due to incoming damage.

Strongly Recommended: As mentioned by Matt453 above, download the Mists of Pandaria version of Deadly Boss Mods (DBM). There are a lot of boss mechanics in this solo achievement, and this addon is extremely helpful.

This achievement requires you expose the three "mini" fogs. The boss has three phases, and only one "mini" fog can appear in the second of these phases. Therefore, you will have to experience these three phases... three times.

First off, you need to know WHAT to avoid.

"Force of Will" is an AoE purple cone that will appear on the platform. This will knock you off the platform and instantly kill you, no matter what level you are. To my knowledge, this appears in all phases.
"Disintegration Beam" is an ability that is in the third phase. A beam will pop out of the boss' eye... don't run into it, as you will instantly die.
DO NOT DAMAGE BOSS - as others have pointed out in comments, do little to no damage to the boss until you get the achievement. It appears that this decreases how often "Life Drain" is cast.

Progression of the fight:

Phase 1:

Start the fight and keep to the outer edge of the platform.
Avoid "Force of Will" whenever it appears. This occurs in all phases.

Phase 2:

MOST IMPORTANT - When "Light Spectrum" comes up... YOU MUST see where the white disc/cloud appears. Failing this means you most likely fail getting the achievement.
Run as fast as you can to the location of this white disc/cloud.
Once beams come out from boss... wait a few seconds.
Observe the "mini" fog that will appear. It cannot be targeted, so don't bother.
Now kill the three Crimson Fogs as quickly as possible by running around the platform. Killing all three ends the second phase. This is where DPS specs need to be fast in killing all three.

Phase 3:

Avoid "Disintegration Beam" as it will kill instantly.

Once all three phases have passed... repeat two more times to reveal all of the "mini" fogs.

Kommentar von Hawkeye5723

This sucks.. even as a 110 mage..

Firstly, they are random as has been said before.. I have had all three colours appear on first tries.

now for the sucky part.. Either no white cloud appears, if it does & I expose the fog beast, half the time no matter what I do or where I go I don't get more than 2 crimson beasts to be able to move to next phase..

When I have got the 3 & killed them, I am finding that the length of time with the floor in the purple mist is waay longer than any video I have seen & as such, no matter where I move too & keeping out of the purple pools, with the lingering gaze, eye sore, getting stunned life drain etc etc & most of the time my health near on bottoms out.

Only on 2 occasions have I had a white cloud appear in the second round, normally I get nothing, on one occasion it was right next to me.. yet on both occasions no beast appeared.. I am starting to think that this thing is bugged..

So, a quick guide on how to do this, based on guides, my experience and comments here on WoWHead:

Durumu cycles through three different phases during the fight. Each one has an important mechanic to take in account.

PHASE ONE:
- He starts the fight throwing some purple lightning and purple puddles at players. Eventually, Durumu will spawn a cone-shaped puddle of purple fog. You need to get out of it ASAP because in a short time he'll do a purple flash and throw all players standing in the area out of the platform, killing them instantly.

PHASE TWO - The most important one
- Shortly before he switches to phase two, some smoke clouds will spawn. You need to keep an eye out for the white one, because it marks the location of one of the 3 NPCs we need to find for the achievment.
- The boss then starts casting three different colored beams with damaging abilities. You need to bring the three beams to the same spot where the white cloud was. Usually the beams will follow a player, but there are cases when one of the beams will go around the platform on its own. Don't wipe, it's a normal occurence. It will eventually cycle all the way to the white cloud mark.
- You spawn ONE secondary-color NPC per phase two. You need to go through this phase 3 times to get the achievment. You don't need to remeber the color of the special NPC, each color spawns only once.
- Killing the primary colored mobs(red, blue) will end the phase and make the beams vanish. Only kill the last one when you are sure that the special NPC was spotted.

PHASE THREE
- Durumu will start casting a MEGA LAZOR OF INSTA-DEATH that slowly rotates through the platform. Avoid it by all means.
- While the laser is being cast, the floor will be filled with purple fog, with a little area near the laser free of fog. If your healer can heal you while standing in the puddle, i recommend it because standing near the laser is extremely dangerous.

Afther Durumu cycles through all three phases, he starts Phase One again. He cycles throught the three phases three or four times (enough to get the achievment) then he gets tired and kills everyone. Try to not mess up. Durumu has limited patience.

IMPORTANT NOTES
- I recommend bringing a healer. Makes things way easier.
- If you are playing on a potato or a toaster (like me), putting particles on min and lowering the resolution (on fullscreen, not window mode) seemed to solve the "slideshow feeling".
- In phase two, you don't need to get all three colored beams together to reveal the NPC, althought it is easier this way because the NPC will show up no matter its color. (The NPC is revealed when the colored beam mixed colors match the NPC color: blue and red for the purple mob, yellow and blue for the green, etc). By stacking all three beams together, every NPC will meet its color requirement.

Hope this guide helped you =)
Good luck!

Do this in normal mode to solo it. Heroic gives an incredible beating that most classes will not be able to survive.

Kommentar von Aardbeiensap

Anyone got advice? I tried this and when I have to get the third fog thing, just before that, I get stunned and then I get killed by the purple thing without any chance of running out...

Kommentar von Esploratore

That you know of is there any bug as of 7.3? Because the maze is killing me and my friend when we try it, I mean, I already 3-manned this achi back in wod, but I don't recall the maze being so hard to find a way out of, and even then, isn't it supposed to do a little damage at 110? Every single time we were running ahead of beam, without being hit by it, we died 1-shot at the same second, and the only time we were behind beam we didn't.

Anyone knows a way to circumvent it or anyway had this issue lately?

The rest of the achi seems to be working fine, fogs get revealed, life drain and force of will don't happen in such a way that we can't avoid the instant kill etc., but the maze doesn't seem to be working as intended to me.

Kommentar von rav3n7x

11/2017-7.3.2 It appears to be bugged. I never managed to survive 3 phases so far. I 've tried with 3 characters so far and every time i died whilst full life taking like 6k damage (Having 5M HP).

Kommentar von TheZoog

First, no doubt you have noticed that you MUST damage the boss to start the fight. I guarentee he will Life Drain from you to full health himself, so don't do any splash damage after you start. Second, if you don't damage him, he will never Disintigration Beam which is the Third Phase Insta-Kill people have been complaining about., Third, if you are trying to solo this, run around the outer ring of the platform.- never stand still. This way when he does Force of Will (the purple cone) you will already be on the outer edge and can zip away from the Insta-Kill. Fourth, from those of us who ran this 10 times and NEVER saw this "white smoke", "white cloud" or "white disc" the rest of you speak of, #@%@#!$@!#$@#$#! If you are lucky, you can at least see the smoke bombs the boss throws out that will create little red or blue circles from which spawn the Crimson and Azure Fog beasts. For me the limit for seeing these was within 10 feet.

Fifth, you have to cross the beams on this mysterious white smoke thingy nobody ever sees unless they have a super computer. Two beams combine colors to create the orange, green or purple little Fog beast. Don't worry about which colors combine to create what, just cross the beams. Sixth, what is stunning you Life Drain. Once the boss is at full health, there should be no Life Drain. Seventh, that thing that is slow-killing you is Arterial Cut. One of the debuffs you have looks like the Savage Blood icon. What is says is that you will lose X amount of health forever UNLESS you are healed to full health. But good luck healing up, because you most likely have a SECOND debuff on you that prevents healing. But you tried anyway, and now you are out of mana, so you have to attack the boss in hopes of one of your leech abilities will give that health back. I would advise against that, because the boss will Life Drain the SH#T out of you. Instead, if you have some kind of debuff remover, use it. For me it was my bubble.

Seventh, When you are stunned, you are always aimed slightly outward because of course some sick Dev said "they are going to spam their speed boost to avoid the overlapping Force of Will, so let's make them speed off the platform mwahaha!". Spam it anyway and take care of the trap he/she laid for you. On some attemps FoW will overlap the stun too much and you are doomed, but usually you can speed off just as it pops. And by the way, if you never reveal the colored Fog beast like me, because you can't ever see the friggen white smoke cloud that is as aethereal as a Unicorn Fart, then I suggest limiting your attempts to X where X+1 = Insanity and just kill the boss. Try again next week, because there are mounts to be had in here anyway, so hang it up and next time, consider trying it on normal to mitigate some of that hurt. Eighth, about the "Laser of Death". The purple stuff wont kill you quickly, so don't panic - you can run through it and heal provided you don't have the dubuff on you. There are two paths that slowly open up <ahead> of the Laser. One is on the outer edge of the platform and is designed to trick you into dying because the Laser moves too fast at that distance.. The other path is right by the boss. Angle your camera up a bit and look down and it will slowly open up ahead of the beam. If you don't see the path open at times, just run into the purple a bit and then look for the patch nearby as it does open. Easy Peasy.

Kommentar von Zharikov

Just did it on 11/28 with a guildie. Basically, from what we can gather, what is killing people is the disintegration beam being bugged. It doesn't always start in front of him, sometimes it will start behind him or to the side, and then snap to where it should be. We just stayed no where near between either of those, and very carefully moved behind him an inch at a time and avoided going into either area between the original beam section and the new beam section, treating it like a cone of insta death rather than a beam.

Kommentar von Ethna

I finally finished this achievement today, I was solo Ret Paladin on 10 man Normal and I had no bugging issues. The only thing that worked for me was watching desius's video over and over and over so I could figure out when it was safe to stand still and watch for the white spot. The link is in his comment but here it is again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuJ-n6XmJS8&feature=youtu.be]

Two other things -

I tried this on 25 man and there was an extra ability called Ice Wall that boxed me into a space that I could not leave and I got hit by disintegration beam. This ability does not appear on 10 man.

Also I am confirming what Vanny9 said

if you're not sure about the light, red and blue beam should stack on yellow and follow it around slowly - this is how we revealed our last mob and finally got the achievement.

When I was down to the third secondary mob, I ran to what I thought was the white light and it did not reveal. Since the other beams were on me, I slowly followed the yellow beam (be careful of Force of Will and the purple puddles) and I was able to reveal it this way. This did not work a couple of times in the past because I didn't have enough time to reveal the mob before Disintegration Beam started.

Good luck! I am off to fly around on my new Skyscreamer.

Kommentar von Somarz29

I just solo'd it as a disc priest. Just watch for the little flash move to it and kill 3 crimson beasts rinse and repeat 3 times. I don't see what the fuss is about. Kept my shields up the whole time.I didn't even see the flash on the 3rd round of beasts and just moved around the platform inch by inch until I found it. Sometimes the disintegration beam bugs, when this happens just move slowly towards one way until it aligns itself, this worked for me, however if you are unlucky and choose to go the way it is moving then you will die.

Kommentar von gbomb

I'm finding that if you go in and kill a boss or pull him on heroic and then later change it to normal the ice wall still happens, not sure of the issue.

Kommentar von Telum

I just completed this with a level 110 frost mage on 25m normal difficulty.

To complete this achievement you need to do three separate Light Spectrum phases. If you attempt this on heroic, you will only have 80 seconds to reveal the fog beast, or he casts Obilterate and you wipe.

Just before the Light Spectrum phase starts, you will see a brief flash (maybe 3 seconds) where the different circles of color will be. As mentioned in other comments you are looking for the white one, this is where you need to run the beam over to reveal that color fog beast. Once you do that on each phases kill the other color fog beasts to finish that Light Specturm phase.

I strongly recommend using your water elemental to tank the boss, so it will soak the Hard Stare attack that reduces healing taken.

I also recommend using Prydaz, Xavaric's Magnum Opus for additional damage absorption.

I was pretty confused how to do this achievement and it took me good 20 attempts to finally complete it.

Good luck and happy achievement hunting!

Kommentar von Djento

Solo'd today as a feral druid ( ilvl 954).
Can confirm its still a little buggy, it took me 15+ attempts.
I'd randomly die in the "safe zone" while waiting for the beam/purple maze to kick off, or i'd come out of the 11 second stun and straight into the knock-off beam. It can be done with patience and a stress ball, just make sure you don't miss the white blotch of fog that appears for 1 whole second.
I had to switch between bear form and cat form just to stay alive, by the time I had revealed all 3 fogs I was on 60% health with what felt like 100, 000 stacks of that healing debuff.
Don't give up!

Kommentar von NinjaFlibble

This is 90% RNG for where those damned puddles show up--if they're behind the boss, it's really hard to see them. I FINALLY managed it after about 8-10 tries on one character alone, on a hunter. If you missed it, try toggling your walk and following the yellow beam...and praying that you didn't miss it by much....

Kommentar von punkin007

PLEASE remove this achievment from the meta. It is such a pain. I keep standing on the white circle, and the add doesn't spawn.

Kommentar von PocketFox

Finally had success soloing this as a disc priest, because who cares about healing debuffs when you have a bubble? I assume the same can hold true for any class/spec with a low CD, high absorption bubble.

Also, just in case anyone else is like me and wasn't aware: only one special fog beast will spawn per color cycle. Meaning if you find the green, neither orange nor purple will be up, so you can go ahead and clear the crimson beasts to move the fight along.

Update for 8.0:

Duo'ed this with my Druid (lv 110 ilvl 227) and a Rogue friend (lv 110 ilvl 232)
The damage taken seems to be very manageable now, and we had no issues with tanking the damage from all non-instant death mechanics
Had no issues revealing any of the achievement targets
Key points are to ensure you spot the white flash going into phase 2, and avoiding the instant death mechanics
Eye beam might not kill you instantly, but we didn't test. It is bugged and he can 180 right as he casts, so recommend staying to his side
You can still get CCed and then knocked off, didn't happen to us but we had a close call, nothing you can do in this case
I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to solo this. It is slightly easier with a couple people since you can spot the white flash more easily, this is the hardest part
Get the DBM Pandaria addon so that you can see the timer for P2

Simplified process that we used (some other comments are overly complicated for the fight with modern gear) :

Phase 1: Stand around, avoid purple cones or you'll get knocked off if you get hit, do nothing to the boss
Phase 2: Right as this phase starts, you must spot the white flash and then all party members need to reach this area within ~8 seconds. Wait here till you see the mob appear and then disappear. Run in a circle to reveal other mobs and kill them all. You are looking for 3 Crimson dudes. None of the ground effects do any notable damage.
Phase 3: Seems like P1 for a bit, but then he'll do his instant death lazer (purple beam) - remember to stay to his side for 100% safety. Purple fog does no notable damage. Once laser is done start P1 again.
Repeat steps 1-3 twice more (three times total)
You will receive your achievement on successful reveal of 3rd P2 achievement target - if you didn't get it, you get 1 more chance, but then you can AFK and die to reset (he will enrage before a 5th)

Overall: Easier than previously stated now, and seemed to operate without bugs.

Kommentar von dasmowenator

I finally soloed this achievement, but it's a pain in the ass. A few important notes which I don't think are made clear here by the other comments:

1) So the goal of the achievement is to to see all 3 special fog beasts in a single encounter. The fog beasts only appear in what I'll call the "color phase" where the boss shoots out red, green, and blue lasers. Only 1 of the 3 special beasts will appear in each color phase. THE BOSS WILL ONLY EVER GO THROUGH 3 COLOR PHASES! After the 3rd color phase, he'll wait about 30 seconds, and if he's still alive, he'll just insta-kill you. This means that since you need to see all 3 fog beasts in a single encounter, and the boss will only ever do 3 color phases per encounter, then if you miss even a single one of the fog beasts, you might as well just jump off the edge and kill yourself since it will be impossible to get the achievement in that encounter.

2) During the color phase, the boss will shoot out 3 lasers: red, blue, and green. The red and blue ones will target a random member in the raid, and since you're soloing this, these will both go to you. The green laser will just go around the room in a 360 circle, but it will start wherever you are standing. As others here have mentioned, you need to go to the while color splotch during the color phase to see the orange/purple/green fog beasts, and you need to have all 3 lasers hit that spot in order for the fog beast to appear. Since the green laser is obviously the hardest part of this since it doesn't follow you, you'll want to try to run to the white spot before the green laser comes out so that it comes to you immediately and you can get it without having to wait for the green laser to go around the circle. Once you've seen the special fog beast, you need to go around and kill the 3 crimson fog beasts in order to get out of the color phase. If you fail to kill all 3 crimson fog beasts before the green laser finishes its 360 circle, the boss will insta-kill you. Unlike with the orange/purple/green fog beasts, IN ORDER TO EXPOSE THE CRIMSON FOG BEASTS, YOU ONLY NEED TO USE THE RED LASER, NOT ALL 3 LASERS. Since the red laser if focused on you, you can just run around and kill the 3 crimson fog beasts pretty quickly (without having to wait for the green laser) once you've seen the special fog beast.

3) The white color splotch is extremely difficult to see. It often will appear behind the boss or inside of one of the other red/blue color splotches. As such, I tried this achievement many times and only saw the white color splotch 2 times, so I had to kill myself and retry. You'll basically have to keep retrying until you get lucky enough to actually see all 3 white color splotches.

5) After each color phase, the boss will shoot a giant laser out of his eye and spin in a 360 circle around the room. This laser will insta-kill you, even if you're anywhere near it. It insta-killed me when I was like 5 feet away from it. During this phase, purple stuff will be all over the ground, but this stuff doesn't do much damage, so it's ok to stand in if you wanna play it safe and get as far away as possible from the death laser.

4) This boss has a lot of insta-kill mechanics, so be wary. I've mentioned 3 of them here already, but I think there are more. This boss also has a lot of abilities which do percentage damage, so even though I'm level 120 and no other boss in this dungeon is any threat to me, this boss actually does a decent amount of damage. When I got the achievement, I had about 50% health left, so you should probably expect that too.

5) When you see the 3rd fog beast, you'll get the achievement instantly, not after you kill the boss. So if you see the 3rd fog beast and don't get the achievement, that means you messed something up and apparently didn't see something you thought you saw, so just jump off the edge and kill yourself to restart the encounter.

Kommentar von hecticzek

In my opinion all the comments here say so much unnecessary info that I ended up finding some things on my own.

The only thing you have to do to get this achivement is to spot a white pool, run into it with all the 3 colored lasers/cones overlapping each other while you stand on it.
When small fog beast (can't be targeted) spawns, you are good. After that kill 3 crimsons (just go around the platform and they will eventually reveal) and keep on going till next phase. If you were unsuccesful to spawn a fog beast, just kill yourself by jumping down and start over.

What you need to know to SOLO this:

Do it on Normal difficulty or Ice Walls will spawn on HC and you won't see anything.
Colors of the fog beasts are not important for the achivement, the fact that you spawn 1 per phase is.
There is 1 white circle before each color phase = 1 fog beast per phase.
The white circle only shows up for like 0.5 second, so you need to be very focused for this moment. Put your camera in a way in which you can see the whole platform and also a little bit behind the boss.
You don't need to kill the boss to get the achivement. You get the achivement during the fight if you succesfully spawn 3 fog beasts.

If you are still unsuccessful read some more tips:

Put the purple pools on the edge of the platform and try to stack them overlapping on 1-2 spots. This helps you make the platform more transparent and spot the white circles more easily.
It saves time to look at some of the videos here if you never seen this fight like me, to see what the white circles look like and some other abilites.

In my opinion the hardest part of this achivement is to spot the white pool, so anyone with Nvidia Shadowplay (ALT+F10 saves the last 5 minutes of your game) may find it useful and alt-tab during the fight and immeadiatelly look at the replay where the white pool appeared.

Kommentar von CycloneDuke

BFA Solo Guide - Just the essentials

- Do this in Normal Mode! Heroic has annoying extra mechanics. You can right-click your portrait to change raid difficulty even inside the raid.
- Equip damage reduction/healing talents, and +movement talents.
- There is death-risk! The boss does a classic "Death beam spinning around the room" which insta-kills.

- 40 seconds into the fight, the boss starts the crazy BEAM TIME phase
- A bunch of red and blue clouds, and ONE WHITE CLOUD will very temporarily be visible! Spot that white cloud if you can, because that's where your "Achi-Colour Fog Beast" is waiting for you.

- If you saw the white cloud -> Walk to it when the beams are all active.
- If you did NOT see the white cloud, or have no idea WTF is going on -> Walk to the edge of the platform -> then just walk a loop around the platform.

- As you walk around the room, the beams locked to you trigger the white clouds, spawning the "Achi-Colour Fog Beast" (Orange, Purple, and Green)
- You'll also be spawning Crimson Fog Beast and Azure Fog Beast. Kill them.
- The BEAM TIME phase ends when you reveal+kill 3x Crimson Fog Beast. Don't kill all 3 Crimson Fog Beasts before revealing the "Achi-Colour Fog Beast".

Objective:

Make the boss enter, and leave BEAM TIME phase 3 times.
During each BEAM TIME phase, you must locate the hiding "Achi-Colour Fog Beast" and reveal it.
You don't need to kill it or anything - once it appears and you see him, you're good! End that beam phase.
A different coloured "Achi-Colour Fog Beast" will appear in each phase.
So you should trigger the achievement mid-fight, during the 3rd BEAM TIME phase when you reveal the 3rd different "Achi-Colour Fog Beast".

Totally straightforward to complete solo at max level.

Kommentar von applebear

I just completed this achieve on two toons . I could see how some would feel it's bugged, I had such a hard time with this achieve. The white splash is by far the hardest part to understand. If you can wrap your head around that little pain in the butt, you have half of the achievement down. I think people over-complicate the rays/colors...don't think about them. Just get your toosh on the white splash, and wait for your first color of mini fog beast to spawn.

The other half maybe some realize, maybe some don't...embarrassingly, I didn't realize the fogs were MINI sized. It's a bit confusing when there are a bunch of large ones around and you think you've seen the ones you need. The ones you need will have orange nameplates and you won't be able to target/kill them. They normally appear right in front of you as well, or just slightly to your side .

Once you see one, go kill the big ones to get the next phase moving, so you can start the next cycle to get the next color, and so forth . Be sure to wait to kill the big ones each phase, until you have stood on that white splash and spotted your color. It's all about getting a good routine down.

Don't give up, it's very doable. Once I understood what I was suppose to be doing, I popped all the colors within the first try. Good luck! :)

Kommentar von Stoneheart98

The problem I have is that the colored npc normally spawns after I step on the first "white" cloud/thing or whatever it is during the first beam. Later even I see the white thing on the floor for that 0.5 sec, the npc no longer spawns and it happened during the 3rd beam,too.

Kommentar von NightKing214

I soloed it as a brewmaster monk, ox statue did the tanking, i just avoided the one shot kill beam ray.
Importent note, you get the achiv when you unlock the fogs beast and not when you kill the boss.

Kommentar von Dorelei

A few pieces of advice for solo-ers:

- Dittoing everyone who says to do it on normal. Heroic is the way to painful death and repair bills.

- Soloing really is the easiest, rather than bringing a friend. Then you don't have to make sure the right color is crossing the right whatsit, because all the streams are on you. Though with a friend, you have access to raid symbols, and can mark the splash. Then everyone can go stand there together. So win some lose some.

- Bring a class that has a skill that will allow you to exit combat and restart, like Hunter's Feign Death or Mage's Invisibility.

- When Light Spectrum is about to be cast, turn off your UI. I think the default is Alt-Z. Makes it easier to see the splashes.

- When you reach the splash area, hang around for a few seconds before second-guessing yourself. The mini-fogs don't reveal themselves immediately and are rather hard to see.

- Be patient. I had the hardest time seeing the white spark-cloud-splash puddle where the fogs spawn. Even watching youtube videos and looking at pictures I couldn't see what people were referring to. But by the 15th time or so through, I had a much easier time tracking it. You do get used to what you're doing.

You don't have to kill the boss to get the achieve, so you'll know and be able to restart if necessary.

Kommentar von Gediablo

I did this solo the reset before 8.2 hit - I had no issues seeing the small white splashes. Today 8.2 hit and I did it again with a friend - none of us could see any white splashes in any pulls (we did around 20 pulls on the boss). Eventually my friend still completed the achivement eventually, but just by us following the green beam around and eventually get lucky to find all 3.

Kommentar von UtesDad

Buckle up. Because this achievement is a pain, even at level 120.

As of 8.2, perhaps there's a new bug, but the little white cloud everyone is talking about that pops up and you need to see it and get there or you're screwed? Well it never showed up once for me. I know what it's supposed to look like. After watching enough videos and knowing what to look for, I could spot it 100% of the time in the tutorial videos. But in game? Never showed up for me once. Not once! But that's ok! There's a way to do this achievement without ever seeing the white cloud.

So what do you do?

As soon as the beam phase starts, the little red and blue clouds go off. Ignore them. They don't really matter. Just find a spot on the circular platform that'll be easy to remember, like N, S, E, W and go there. Once the beams come out, all 3 beams will be on you. The red and blue beams will follow you. The "yellow" beam (really it looks green to me) will make a slow 360 degree circle around the platform. Since we don't know where the white cloud is, we're going to follow the yellow beam around the platform so all 3 beams are constantly crossed. As you make your 360 degree path around the boss, kill TWO AND ONLY TWO of the crimson fog beasts as you pass them, looking for the hidden ones. Don't kill the third crimson fog beast until after you find one of the three hidden fog beasts (orange, purple, green).

As long as you keep all 3 beams overlapped as you make your 360 degree pathway around the boss, eventually, somewhere along the way, one of the orange/purple/green fog beasts will pop up. They're fairly obvious as they're about 1/2 the size of the other fog beasts. Only one of the orange/purple/green fog beasts will pop up per beam phase. As soon as the hidden fog beast is exposed, forget following the yellow beam, find any remaining crimson fog beasts and kill them. If the yellow beam makes a full 360 circle before the third crimson beast is killed, it's game over, instant wipe.

But won't you take a lot of damage having all 3 beams on you at the same time? Yes. However, at level 120, any class with any sort of absorb shield will be enough to keep you alive. I was a squishy arcane mage and used Prismatic Barrier on cooldown and never dropped in health.

For the most part, you can forget about the rest of the mechanics of the fight. The exceptions: 1) A purple cone he places on the ground in front of him. Get out asap our he'll knock you off the platform and you're dead. 2) His large purple beam during the maze phase.

Is it possible that the orange/purple/green fog beast was 350 degrees away from your original position and it won't be visible until it's too late to kill the third crimson fog beast before the yellow beam completes the circle? Yup, that can happen. It sucks. Restart the fight and try it again. RNG is in your favor in this regard though, so it's unlikely to happen very often.

Kommentar von zioamslki

Can you still do this achievement? I've been trying for several weeks but I don't see a white cloud at all.

Kommentar von beztia

ok guys I just got this achievement today and it was HARD even at 120 but I will make your lives easier.

OBJECTIVE:

You need to reveal the 3 hidden fog beasts (orange, purple and green). You will do this in the beans phase of the boss by keeping the 3 beans overlapped (two beans will move with you and the other one will move with the boss doing a 360 turn). If you want more details there are other comments with this explained perfectly but I advice you get in there and start the encounter and you will see what are we talking about.

IMPORTANT:

Please, please do this one in NORMAL, for doing this in heroic you will need like 4 plains of luck only for you, since the beans phase will only be for 80s after that is wipe.
Don't look for the white circle, is not there any more, actually forget about the circles
After the first phase one of the smaller eyes will start casting a stun that will last for a few seconds so if you are on the beans phase try to predict this
After every bean phase the boss will cast Disintegration Bean so go behind him and forget about the purple floor since that won't hurt and the disintegration bean will kill you if you are in front of him.

STEPS

Start the encounter and don't dps the boss
Wait for a couple spells he will cast and then the beans phase will start
Move your beans with the green bean and you will start seen the fogs
If you see Crimson fog beasts kill two of them but only two of them because if you kill the third one the phase will end
Stay vigilant for a smaller fog which you will not be able to attack or even select but it will be there and it will be one of our three objectives
After the one we are looking for appears kill the third Crimson fog and end the phase because you will get only one per phase
Now repeat the process three times but check the IMPORTANT section because I'm explaining something about the second and third pase there.

Kommentar von RIIDDIIM

Still bugged in 8.2.5

You won't be able to see the white marker, but the fogs will still spawn. Here's what I did (120 Unholy DK)

1) Pull boss, don't attack him. Make sure you don't get yeeted off the platform by Force of Will.
2) When the boss casts Light Spectrum run to one of the red clouds. When the beams spawn, kill the red fog that appears.
3) Walk around the outside of the platform, inside the yellow (looks green though) beam. Once you find one of the fogs you need for the achievement, go kill the other 2 red fogs.
4) Watch out for the big death laser, then make sure you don't get yeeted off the platform by Force of Will.
5) Do steps 2-4 two more times.
6) Achievement!

TIP: Pay attention to the color of the fog you find the first 2 times. If you find Green and Orange first, that means the third time will be purple. You don't need to be inside the yellow beam to find the Purple fog, so just run around the outside of the platform.

Potions of swiftness help, so do other movement speed abilities.

The white cloud bug still not fixed as of 8.25 but it doesn't mean the achievement is bugged.

1. Be aware of the one-shot kill i.e. the dark laser and the black dot of the ground

2. Make sure you walk along with the green/yellow beam until you spot the fog beast.

3. Kill 3 red fogs when you spot the Fog beast.

4. Repeat the above steps for 2 more times and you will get the achievement.

P.S. Do it in 10N. Good luck

Kommentar von gazoco

With this strategy what you need to be aware of is that you can wipe multiple times and the add spawns in the SAME place. So you can find the first add, put a world marker there.

Wipe if you need to (or if death beam kills you). I wiped about 30 times today (before I realised this) and finally got the achievement planning out where the adds were

I'm unsure if I had to find them after each wipe but I did just to be sure.

By @beztia (551 – 2·5) on 2019/09/17 (Patch 8.2.0)
ok guys I just got this achievement today and it was HARD even at 120 but I will make your lives easier.

OBJECTIVE:

You need to reveal the 3 hidden fog beasts (orange, purple and green). You will do this in the beans phase of the boss by keeping the 3 beans overlapped (two beans will move with you and the other one will move with the boss doing a 360 turn). If you want more details there are other comments with this explained perfectly but I advice you get in there and start the encounter and you will see what are we talking about.

IMPORTANT:
Please, please do this one in NORMAL, for doing this in heroic you will need like 4 plains of luck only for you, since the beans phase will only be for 80s after that is wipe.
Don't look for the white circle, is not there any more, actually forget about the circles
After the first phase one of the smaller eyes will start casting a stun that will last for a few seconds so if you are on the beans phase try to predict this
After every bean phase the boss will cast Disintegration Bean so go behind him and forget about the purple floor since that won't hurt and the disintegration bean will kill you if you are in front of him.
STEPS
Start the encounter and don't dps the boss
Wait for a couple spells he will cast and then the beans phase will start
Move your beans with the green bean and you will start seen the fogs
If you see Crimson fog beasts kill two of them but only two of them because if you kill the third one the phase will end
Stay vigilant for a smaller fog which you will not be able to attack or even select but it will be there and it will be one of our three objectives
After the one we are looking for appears kill the third Crimson fog and end the phase because you will get only one per phase
Now repeat the process three times but check the IMPORTANT section because I'm explaining something about the second and third pase there.

Kommentar von yitki

for all those who tries the achivment and cant see the "white" thingy where the beast suppose to spawn.
i have just completed this achivment so i can confirm a few things:
1.u dont need to kill the boss to get this achivment.as soon as u got all 3 u will get the achive.
2.if u cant see the "white" where the beast suppose to spawn(like me and many others) the only way to do it is by waiting for the green flame/beam that circles around and just go with it.there is no other way if u cant see the "white".u slowly go with the green(3 times ) till u see the small add.
3.the 2d time and the 3d time u will get stun. its annoying but not much u can do about it.
4.he will cast the death beam/area if u werent lucky to find the beast fast.so..... well..... gl : )

Disclaimer: This Achievement has eluded me after trying casually since post-Pandaria days, and today I finally got it. Here's how I did it.

Moderate Difficulty Solo for Level 120 Battle for Azeroth or Level 60 Shadowlands and Beyond...

1. Normal 10-man Difficulty.

2. Begin fight. No need to hurt boss beyond the first hit.

3. Eventually the boss will say "the mists hide many secrets... if you know where to look." This is where you actually start moving around. Red pools and Blue/White pools spawn on the ground, indicating Crimsons & Azures. I didn't even need to look at those for reference, as they are discovered by moving anyway.

4. Finally, with the mist under my control, I moved clockwise, and stayed close to the middle pathway.

5. I always killed the Azures when I saw them and kept moving counter clockwise. Don't kill the crimsons yet.

6. Eventually one of the unique of the 3 achievement colors showed up, mine was Purple. Once I saw it, My goal is specifically to kill the Crimsons to end the phase.

7. Once all the crimsons are dead, you now have to wait for the next color phase.

8. Avoid his disintegrating ray, it will one shot you--even at max level.

9. Now in the second color phase, move again clockwise around the platform, killing the Azures as you pass them by.

10. Another color has been found, mine was Green. Again, all you need to do is detect the mob by seeing it on the screen.

11. With the green found, or whatever color you got, Kill the Crimsons.

12. Now wait for the third color phase.

13. Once it has begun, again move clockwise around the platform, killing the Azures as you pass them by.

14. For me, I didn't even see the Orange color. My achievement popped and after six agonizing years, I finally got this done.

15. Kill Boss after Achievement Pops.

16. ?

17. Profit. Achievement Completed.

Kommentar von ZBRINZ

Completed this last night as a shadow priest, I set it to 10 man normal, would wait until he did the beams and would sit in the gas looking cone going around the room until one of the achievement colored guys showed up and then i immedietly ran at the boss, and rotated his gaze around the room close to him so i could quickly kill the 3 remaining crimsons. I only found one achievement color per phase and I chose to stand on 3 different sides of room far away from the previous color and got very very lucky. Achievement is still bugged yes but you can complete with some luck.

Make sure you set to 10 man normal and use a character that can pop absorbs, you wont be able to heal late into the fight.

Kommentar von ExtractionPoint

Depending on your luck, this achievement may require a lot of patience.

You need to go through 3 Color Phases in order to get the Achievement and you cannot have more than 3 at all, because you get instantly killed after 10 minutes in the encounter.

In each one of these Phases, you will discover one of these Fog Beasts: Orange (Yellow Beam + Red Beam), Green (Yellow Beam + Blue Beam) or Purple (Red Beam + Blue Beam).

The Red Beam and the Blue Beam will lock onto you, while the Yellow Beam will start slowly spinning on its own. This means you need to follow it in order to reveal one of the Fog Beasts.

During the 1st Color Phase, you will not get stunned at all. Because of that, ideally you want to find the non-Purple Fog Beast as this is the only Phase where you can safely move around with the Yellow Beam without worrying about any stuns that might make you lose ground and not cover the whole area. When I've found the Purple Fog Beast during the 1st Color Phase, I simply jumped off the edge and restarted the encounter.

When I got the Achievement, I had to find the Purple Fog Beast during the 3rd Color Phase. This was the best situation that could happen, because I could freely move on my own and I didn't needed the slowly moving Yellow Beam anymore. Stuns simply didn't matter anymore.

Kommentar von kurri

Maybe Iam just unlucky, but this achiev is now pain in the ass because the boss keeps spawning icewalls you have to destroy.

Kommentar von Kuthooloo

%^&* this achievement.

Kommentar von Dawnfury

As of 8.3 30th of August2020. This achievement is still obtainable. However it is heavily RNG centered and there is no way that you could predict where the orange,purple and green fog beasts would be.

After 3 weeks and 34 pulls, somehow I got lucky but only because I was a paladin and could run over the purple flame/maze with divine shield popped for the 3rd beast. You will get the achievement once you observe all three fog beasts. Boss kill is not required.

Take off your corruption gears and heart of Azeroth if you will. And just follow the yellow beam around. If by any chance you manage to find Orange and Green ones in first 2 try, you may try to run around regardless of the yellow beam. It needs confirming since in my pulls I never had such occasion where Purple one was left as a 3rd fog beast to discover.

Kommentar von davelol

This boss is so freaking buggy its infuriating to do this achievement, sometimes the beasts don't even spawn and you end up going round in circles for nothing just to die or jump of the edge... Sometimes the boss doesn't even spawn a yellow beam to follow... so you are it doesn't even seem like the beasts spawn when that beam don't appear so might as well jump off the edge... Sometimes the boss decides to stun you just as you're about the finish the god awful achievement or he decides to do the one shot beam just as you're edging your way towards the final beast you need...... actually worst achievement in the meta after softhands egg achievement.

But finally I'm free from this disgusting ugly vile boss, I never wanna see this disgusting creature again, I only came to try because it was "hotfixed" only to die several times and finally get lucky on my final attempt to free me from this @#$%hole.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ewyqIi6K6M

This video is fairly useful at explaining what to keep track of and do for the achievement. He will keep saying its an easy achievement several times but must have just been really lucky to not have several attempts bugged for him, even after the so called "hotfix" the white blobs mean nothing since the beasts wander around and the boss will just shoot his beam of death and ruin your plan to walk to the white blobs, and the yellow beams bug out over and over so you just have to keep trying over and over until you get lucky.

Kommentar von manduz

This is a very easy Achievement once you know what to do exactly, ignore all other information you see in these comments as I will try my best to explain exactly how to do it:

- it is mandatory to do this on Normal mode because if you do it on heroic there is a mechanic that makes you die if you don't finish the beam phase fast.
- before every beam phase there will be lights spawning for 1 second, three blue lights, three red lights, and 1 WHITE LIGHT
- the beams spawn on you, including the yellow beam but once it spawns the yellow beam will move on its own.
- you need to do the colored beam phase 3 times because every phase has ONLY ONE mixed color fog
- as soon as you see the white light MOVE to it and stay there, keep moving left and right fast, one step left and one step right to make the lights register on your location
- the mixed color will ALWAYS be there it just takes a few seconds to appear
- once you get your first color, switch the phase by killing three red fogs and then wait for the next beam and repeat the process
- you don't have to kill the boss

if you still can't do it please reply here and I will make further explanation.

Kommentar von Mpiftekas

Update 12/10/2020-8.3.7:
You can SEE the white cloud when laser phase starts, so be patient, lower camera so you can see all platform and focus on the white cloud (at the same time you will see red and blue ones for the fog beasts you have to kill to proceed to next phase).
As other have suggested, try to find first orange (yellow+red) or green (yellow+blue) on the first laser phase, where you don't get stunned and leave purple (blue+red) for second or last.
Good luck and be prepared to wipe a couple of times.

Advice for >1 groups: Its better if everyone tags and then let only one member alive that will have a better overview of where the white cloud spawns and control of the beams.

Kommentar von Mayzen

The white clouds are visible again. Some posts says the fog beast color is defined when they spawn and you have to find them by crossing the correct beams. On all my tries I found the orange first and for the 3 where I found two beasts, the green was second - including the one where I found all 3.
Thank god the achievement is earned as soon as finding the third, so it doesn't matter if you die after that (I did).

Kommentar von Marchenoir

As of early Shadowlands I had to use a lvl 50 alt because my lvl 60 main kept dying before reaching the third color phase... they really need to fix the scaling issues in this game. My lvl 60 should be much stronger than my lvl 50.

Kommentar von Moin

Just did it solo in WoW Shadowlands on 2020-12-17.

My Hero was a level 57 guardian druid with itemlevel 116.
It was normal mode for 10 players.

Whoever says, that this is easy to solo, do not believe them.
It took me a lot of tries and I needed a little bit of luck also.
I had a lot of problems with revealing the colored fog beasts.

First problem: The white spots are hard to spot.

They look like white clouds.
If they are on top of a blue or red spot, they are impossible to see.
If red and blue spots overlap, they look like a white spot, that can be mistaken for the white cloud.
It is a big advantage to spot the white cloud, but it is possible without.
In my successful try, I did spot only one of the three white clouds.

Second problem: The colored fog beasts are not revealed

The beams must be aimed at the spot for a very long time to reveal the fog beasts.
The red and blue beam are automatically targeted on you.
The problem is the yellow beam. You cannot control it, except for the starting place.
In a lot of tries I was sure, that I spotted the white cloud.
I went to the spot and all three beams hit the place.
But no fog beast was revealed.
This made me thing, that this achievement is broken.
Because I did it wrong.
You have to be very fast to reach the white cloud.
Only then the yellow beam is hitting the spot long enough to reveal the beast.
When I did not spot the white cloud, I followed the yellow beam as some other users recommended.
Sometimes it worked, but a lot of times, I could not reveal any colored fog beast.
I thought, that only the centered yellow beam itself counts.
Then I found out, that the whole yellow sector counts.
So it was better to follow the leading edge of the yellow sector.
That way you have more time to aim after you are stunned.
Another mistake was to circle around Durumu with a big radius.
I found out, that you can reveal beasts, that are behind you.
It was much better to stay nearer to the boss. You are much
faster then.

Luck

Probably you need a bit of luck.
Spotting the white clouds is a big advantage.
The yellow beam is very slow. With luck it reaches the colored fog beast soon.
The purple colored beast is the easiests to reveal, since it does not need the yellow beam.
If the first two beam phases have orange and green fog beasts, you can speed up the third phase a lot.
It can happen, that you are killed by Force of Will while stunned.
The fight is easy to reset. Just jump from the edge.

Class

You do not need guardian druid. I had some good tries with Blood Deathknight too.
Unholy Deathknight did not work for me. Probably all tank classes will work.
If you take guardian druid, do not skill the brambles talent.

What I did in my successful try:

I placed myself at the north edge of the platform and started the fight with Growl.
I waited for the puddle and stepped out of it
I waited for the purple sector of the Force of Will and stepped out of it
I switched to cat and placed myself nearer to the boss
I waited for the spots to appear and was lucky to see the white cloud
I dashed in cat to the place
Red, blue and yellow beams were aiming at me, standing on the spot
I waited and waited and waited and finally the colored fog beast was revealed, just before the yellow sector passed the spot
I circled the boss in a small radius to find and kill the red beasts quickly
Death ray was announced
I ran near the ray and looked out for the side with the worm marks and went there
I waited at the edge of the purple cloud
I followed the opening labyrinth path, fleeing from the ray until the phase was over
Again I evaded puddles and the Force of Will sector
I waited for the colored spots
This time I was not able to see the white cloud
I went to a red spot instead and killed the red fog beast
I followed the leading edge of the yellow sector in a small radius
I was stunned and had to wait
Just before the yellow sector passed, stun ended
I continued following the leading edge
Luckily it did not take long, until the colored beast was revealed. It was behind me.
I searched and killed the last two red beasts
The next phases I did the same as in the phases before until the achievement popped up

Kommentar von essmene

You want to do this achievement on Normal to have more time - on Heroic Durumu der Vergessene will cast Auslöschen if Light Spectrum takes longer than 80 seconds. Especially in the second spectrum with the stun from Hungriges Auge Lebensentzug you might take longer.

Good news: light patches are visible again - the Achievement pops during the fight, so you know when you are done.

Touch the boss - move out of purple pools and purple zones
At light Spectrum try to spot the white circle indicating the spawn of the special add. - Keep moving back and forth with the beams - If you did not spot it you need to make a full circle following the yellow beam
kill 2/3 Crimson Fogs you encounter
After revealing a special color Fog (Orange, Green, Purple) - kill the Last Crimson Fog
Avoid Desintegrationsstrahl it still kills you - if you take too long Light Spectrum you might have to deal with it as well.
Rins and Repeat - this time with a possible stun from Drain Life that can screw you over as it blocks your movement and you might not be able to reveal the special beast.

From the Video section: SOLO GUIDE You Said Crossing the Streams Was Bad - Glory of the Thundering Raider showing the white circle spawning in detail.

Kommentar von xLunacyx

Make sure you do it on Normal. On heroic he'll just instakill you before you reveal a fogbeast because the yellow beam is so slow (usually about 180 instead of a 360)
Just following his yellow beam seemed to work just fine since the mythical white cloud no longer exists, once you see a small green/purple/orange fogbeast just finish killing 3 crimson fogbeasts, survive, and do it 2 more times.

Kommentar von xLunacyx

Not so bad on Normal mode (on heroic you won't be able to do a full loop with yellow). You just stand with the yellow beam until a tiny fog beast gets revealed then kill 3 crimsons (kill 1 or 2 on the way) then once you find the 3rd tiny fog beast you'll get the achievement and then you can just kill the boss.

Kommentar von jcam

It is July 2022 and I thought this achievement was impossible. I tried multiple times, multiple days. I watched multiple videos. I read multiple comments. I did not see any white circles or orange/purple/green fog beasts.

Then I read these comments from these users:
bytener: Use DMB Pandaria addon to see when phases will start.
MeAjur: Use Alt+Z to hide UI.

Right when the color beam phase starts, there ARE white circles that appear. I did not see a single one until I did Alt+Z to hide my UI, right before the Light Spectrum phase. After this, I saw the white circles! And then the little fog beasts! And I got the achievement immediately after the third little fog beast.

If you are doing everything right with avoiding one-shot mechanics, and still having no luck, try these!

Kommentar von Scarecrow59

This achievement still broken or have they fixed it ?

Kommentar von barbasol

I just did this solo. I didn't follow the "yellow" beam. I just ran around the circle. It took multiple multiple tries though over several weeks (my pet accidentally killed the boss several times for one thing. And Warlocks... you'll want to turn off the Inner Demons talent). It was the last one I needed for the Glory of the Thundering Raider. And a couple times the 3rd mob just never appeared... maybe following the yellow beam would have helped that, but I don't think so. Maybe I didn't "linger" long enough, though most times it seems the mob would appear just running through the spot.

One thing to note is the purple/orange/green all spawn at the same radius from the center. It's about 2/3 out where the design on the floor is. Watch one of the videos if you want to be sure, but as soon as you spot one you'll know. It's not clear to me if how far out you are standing even matters though. The Crimson mobs at least seemed to appear regardless.

One of the more PIA achievements. Just awful.

Kommentar von Gingerbald

What makes this achievement so astoundingly asinine is that it's so hard to understand exactly what you're supposed to do, because you aren't truly going to understand until you successfully complete the achievement yourself. Truly one of the more annoying achievements to get.

My only advice: read everything here in the comments, try as best you can to make sense of it all, and then just keep at it. Eventually, it'll all click with you in the right way, and then you'll get the achievement.

Kommentar von Tiyi

Why do I keep dying ? T.T

Kommentar von Smokingwolf

Dragonflight - I needed like 10 tries to figure it out but here's my view:

* You need to repeat all the phases 3 times - each time you get a different color
* Avoid purple pools he spits on the floor, also avoid the little purple cone when he says watch your demise
* Don't get hit by his eye lasers when he says Watch your footing. You don't have to worry about the purple foggy thing on the floor, only mind the lasers.
* You might get stunned - nothing to worry, nothing can kill you while you're stunned
* You get the achievement in fight so you know when you got it.

Kommentar von projecteulogy

I'm having an issue with this, because no matter what I do, or how far away i am, I cleave this boss into the ground. One/Two shot. To make sure I don't, ive tried just right clicking the fog beasts but iit auto targets the boss every time. I spam ESC so much i'm about to wear out the god forsaken key.

Ive tried literally every class except Shaman(cuz i dont have one, dont care for them). Ive watched the videos. Ive gotten 2 Orange beasts up, then all of a sudden i will auto attack the boss, even if i'm not using abilities and have my back to him. Ive tried stripping down to no gear so i don't do extra damage. I'm not dying, i'm not unable to find them once the phase starts. I'm literally KILLING him with a one shot auto attack.

Its like every class has an auto reflective attack(ie: DK's blood worms)

Ive tried this on a character NOT at max and I die too easily. According to Rarity, i'm sitting at just shy of 200 runs. Still don't have Ji-Kun's mount either. I'm starting to hate this game and their old achievements that are either difficult to solo, or the hoops you have to jump through are just a migraine.

Kommentar von Bhoso

As of today, 19.06.2023, I have completed the achievement after several tries. What happened is the white swirlies spawned (all 3 of them and a few in my prefious attempts) on the circle (I guess we can call it the middle one?) with art on it.

Might not be 100% true, but it happened to me so if you are struggeling, try looking at the middle circle :)

Kommentar von Bigfudge561

So I did this today, 10/06/23, after a number of tries in a group of four. After quite a few failed attempts we called it a day and I decided to try it solo, this attempt I one-shot the achievement.

My biggest takeaways for the encounter, which will be a lot of echoing other comments are as follow:

Do this encounter on normal, not heroic
Right before the "maze/dance" portions of the encounter you will see purple lightning on the ground, run there for safety
Avoid the one-shot kill laser mechanic, it moves fast so staying inside closer to the boss is ideal
Classes with movement help tremendously, I used a monk and it was extremely helpful
Sometimes you'll see a white swirly and run to it and wait and nothing happens, your eyes lied to you (this happened on multiple attempts with group and on last spawn of my solo run)
When you see the white swirly, run to it and wait. The add wont immediately reveal itself, but if your'e waiting more than 10-15 seconds then the above bullet point happened likely
Don't kill the boss, be mindful of your abilities. I just autoattacked the big adds when necessary and tried to avoid getting close to boss if possible
Don't kill the big adds until you revealed the smaller add first

This isnt a race and normal gives you all the time in the world to reveal the small add, just make sure to live through the maze/dance and instadeath laser and the rest is easy

Kommentar von gibblett06

I recommend going without armor as my druid level 70 had a 600g repair bill by the end of this and she still one shot auto attacked the mobs needed with broken armor.

If it took too long, I jumped off the edge. I probably tried for a solid 90 mins today before getting lucky and getting it. Tried many times before on my DK as well.

Watch out for the pushback as that destroyed me at 2/3 one time. Triangle of purple on the ground just get out.

Kommentar von Dannymoo

I completed this last night in Dragonflight. I just want to reiterate what others have said, which is to turn off your User Interface. I didn't know what the default keystroke was, and turns out it was Alt + Shift + Z. I modified it to just Shift + Z to make it easier when the part comes up when Durumu casts the colored smoke puffs on the floor. Turning off the UI makes it so much easier to see the white puff of smoke. I also did this on my Hunter main, so if I missed one of the puffs of white smoke, I just Feigned Death and reset the boss encounter. I had to try several times, but eventually I saw all 3 white smokes and got the achievement. One thing I also didn't realize is that you only have 10 minutes to get this completed, because then Dururu casts Obliterate which instantly kills you. So if you miss one of the puffs of white smoke, don't bother continuing thinking you can do this forever until you get it. Just Feign Death and start over.

Kommentar von Volkai

Thought it would be best to address any misconceptions about this achievement after the aggregation of many comments down below.

Patch: 10.2.5
Expansion: Dragonflight
Class: Mage
Solo: Yes
Difficulty Attempted: Normal

Largest tip I can give that I have not seen or read yet (apologies if missed):
- Take a screenshot of your game as soon as the lights appear and paste it on your second monitor or paint program tab, or something, Reference that for where the circle is. Heck if you want take a photo/video with your phone as you're playing. If you're not confident enough in spotting the white ripples/circles (I messed up sometimes also).

As of 10.2.5:
- Yes, you can still see the white circles.
- Do not be confused by the 'larger' white circle that gets generated by the collision of other fog/circles overlapping.
- You will get this achievement mid-fight if you are successful and see the third fog beast.
- You reveal one of the three required fog beasts per phase (Orange, Green, Purple), there are three phases.
- Avoid the singular purple pizza slice, this will knock you back.
- Avoid the 360 rotating beam that the boss does as soon as you see the entire platform turning purple. This is a one shot.
- You will get a long duration stun at times. No worries. No important mechanics ever happen while you are stunned.

Strategy/How I achieved this:
(Took me about 4-5 attempts)

1. Pulled the boss with a non damaging ability and stayed halfway from the center and the edge of the platform. So not the center of the room where the boss is, but middle point between the boss and outer edge of the platform.
2. You will see a "V" arrow appear on your head. This is when the slowing purple puddle gets thrown at you. Sometimes I decided to place the puddle on the outer edge to help with visibility.
3. Purple pizza slice attack happens. Stayed out of it, as I learned at times it knocked me back and instantly killed me.
4. IMMEDIATELY after this singular purple pizza slice, is when the coloured circles/ripples happen.
5. Before this, I pressed Alt+Z and PEELED my eyes looking for the white circle. I did not blink and steadily walked towards the white circle until I was on top of it. I didn't use my blink or anything that would make me forget/distory the general position of it.
6. Waited right on top of the white circle, sometimes stutter stepped. But mainly I did not move a muscle until I saw the two beams directed at me, which connect and then allow for the fog beast to appear. If you see ONLY ONE beam directed at you, I had this happen to me and I do not know why, the fog beast did NOT appear. There needs to be a CROSS of TWO beams. Hence the achievement name.
7. Fog beast appeared (Either the orange, purple or green).
8. I walked in a circle around the entire platform to kill x3 Crimson Fog beasts to end the phase.
9. He will then turn the entire platform into a purple zone, and start rotating 360 degrees with his disintegration beam which will one shot you.
10. Killing the 3 crimson fog beasts ends this encounter earlier I believe.

- If you don't kill the 3 crimson fog beasts in time, you'll be attempting to find the fog beast while he's doing the one shot beam. I BELIEVE if you don't find your fog beast before he ends that laser beam phase, you have to reset? But don't quote me on that one. I always had ample time to find it, if I knew where the white light was.

11. He then repeat everything mentioned above.
12. Waited for the singular purple pizza slice, peeled my eyes for second white circle. Ran to it, waited.
13. Repeated entire process for a third and final time. Got the achievement mid-fight, killed the boss without remorse the second after.

Additional things I noticed:
- One time I did miss the white light, or that I thought I was on. I did follow the recommendation of some folks in here of just walking with the green moving pizza slice around the map in a circle, hoping for one of the three fog beasts to spawn, and it did once. But only once, but it does work. But you have to be lucky.

Keep trying and you'll get it. What helped me the most was honestly Alt+Z to remove my UI clutter and bringing my face to the screen and just not letting go of my vision of that white ripple, instead of the collision white ripple when two coloured circles hit each other. I swear sometimes I saw a WHITE circle droplet hit the floor, which turned BLUE, I think this is a mechanic to mess you up. Taking a screenshot will help. If I failed I just used Invisibility as a mage to reset immediately, or if you don't have Invisibility pots, jump off the edge and try again.

&*!@ blizzard for making an achievement this stupid. Achievements should be accomplishments that show you are good at a fight and can make it harder. This is just telling people to jump and asking how high. This is just based on getting lucky and magically seeing a white poof that lasts less than a *!@#ing second. *!@# you blizzard. Worst #$%^ing design I've ever seen in my life.
