Just a note, undying and immortal titles were removed from the game when cataclysm was released, you can no longer obtain them.

Comment by eidyia

@dwhittman: thanks for that note - I've removed the notation from the guide.

Gonna Go When the Volcano Blows (10 player). This requires you not to get hit by a lava wall. Two ways of doing this are to DPS the boss before it happens (which is easy with a geared group at 85), second way is raid awareness as not get hit by the walls, as noted above.

this description is incorrect. the lava strike ability has nothing to do with the wave at all.... it's a meteor that drops out of the sky. supposedly you can see it a few seconds before it drops, but some people say the way to get the achievement is to just try and keep moving continuously.

Less Is More (10 player), Kill Sartharion with less than 9 players in 10m mode or less than 21 players in 25m mode.

This achievement and it's 25 man equivalent requires your group to kill ALL 3 mini bosses AND Sartharion with less than 9 people. Therefore, it will require an ADDITIONAL reset if the group does Sarth+1/2/3.

When you zone-in to OS, you’ll want to head around the outside and clear the trash. As you circle around (and trash is cake here with our group listed above), be sure not to aggro any of the mini-bosses (Tenebron, Shadron, and Vesperon). If you do aggro any of them, either wipe it or run out of the instance.

This isn't applicable if the group is trying for "Less is More" as I stated above.

Just thought I'd point out that it'll take 2 resets to get all the achievements in OS (Provided you get "Gonna Go Where the Volcano Blows" in one of them)

There are two other achievements in OS, for the record: Twilight Assist (10 player) (OS 1d) and Twilight Duo (10 player) (OS 2d). Currently it’s noted that these 2 achievements need to be attained separately – that is, doing OS 3d will not automatically trigger the 1d or 2d achievements. It’s highly unlikely you could successfully PUG 1d or 2d; however, you can probably 3m it, so best find a few friends to go do it with you.

This part is not accurate :)

did 10 man with 4 85's a few days ago and left all 3 drakes alive and got both the achieves

Have Fun getting ur mounts and achieves!:D

Note for the Malygos portion of the guide. The Scions will drop their discs when they die which lets more people get on them. There is still a limited amount of scions, but you can get more than 2 people the achievement per run.
Edit: Also, I am pretty sure that you can just wipe and restart to get the achievement as the achievement is earned after you kill a scion, not after killing Malygos.

For Shocking! (10 player), an easier tactic is to have two ranged dps and the tank spread out across Thaddius's platform and leave a ranged dps on one miniboss platform, and a healer on the other. All other players should spread out across the platform by the entrance to the boss room and wait. No one should move during the fight (ie fight from where they stand). If anyone dies during the fight, the ranged dps and healers will shift forward if the death is on their side, and another ranged dps can run forward to take a place on the (now empty) miniboss platform. If the healer is the one who dies, obviously it should be a healer who replaces their spot, so make sure a ranged dps is near both ramps, and a healer is near the ramp to the other healer. Melee dps should spread out by the door, but can also take up spots in the middle of the room on low platforms if necessary.
This tactic can be done with the 25-man version as well, but it's important that the top dps are used, since you will run into the enrage timer for the last few seconds of the fight.

So this would look like:
boss platform: RDPS-1 ------TANK (& Thaddius) ----- RDPS-2
miniboss platform: RDPS-3 ----------------------------- Healer
entrance: (Extra RDPS) all -- other -- players -- spread -- out (Extra Heals & RDPS)

and if a death occurs (RPS-1):
boss platform: ~~RDPS-1~~ RDPS-3 -----TANK (& Thaddius) ----- RDPS-2
miniboss platform: RDPS-4 ----------------------------- Healer
entrance: remaining -- players -- spread -- out (Extra Heals & RDPS)

(note that RDPS-3 moved from the miniboss platform to take RDPS-1's spot, and someone by the entrance near the left ramp moved up to take RPS-3's spot on the miniboss platform)

I know it has already been said, but very accurate and well thought-out.

Also, Malygos also has a chance to drop the Reins of the Blue drake.

Comment by pyrannor2012

Fantastic guide! Top notch setup, very professional. Really enjoyed the defining layouts of some of the fights. Just wanted to pass on my gratitude for all your efforts.

Comment by Frizbo

I found this guide quite helpful. There is some minor updates needed, but overall a professional and complete guide.

Comment by coldfront1

Great Guide! I will use this when the tuesday maintainence is over!

Comment by Craasher

I was able to solo Malygos with my shadow priest, prot pally, and combat rogue. None have an iLevel higher than 490. My rogue fell to about 60% during phase 1 because Maly ate a spark.

Comment by phillip6103

correction the obsidian sanctum achievement for 3d once earned shows receipt of 1d and 2d as well
