Sarukel is the giant whale that comes in during P2 and sucks everyone towards him, killing anyone within a certain distance and only leaving after he's been fed some of the Ink dropped by Ossunet.

Confirmed that you need to get Sarukel to eat various mechanical combinations.

Hydra Essence - Taking damage from Hydra Shot while standing within Sarukel's maw will cover this.
Eel Tartare - Abyss Stalkers are the summoned eels the boss brings in through the entire fight. One of these needs to die within the maw.
Ink Sauce - Ossunet throws out Ink which is used to send Sarukel away, meaning this must be the last thing you feed him.
Murloc Fillet - The murlocs attach themselves to players and can only be removed by getting hit by jellyfish in P1. You must keep one alive until P2 when Sarukel arrives and then kill it within his maw, like with the Abyss Stalker.
Player Seasoning - Someone id indeed going to have to take one for the team.

Method is simple. Leave a murloc alive by blasting one off someone's head in P1 and ignoring it completely. Once P2 has begun, drag the murloc to Sarukel, along with an Abyss Stalker or two, and kill them. Then, on the following Hydra Shot, have the person who gets it (or one of the three if you're doing this on heroic) stand in Sarukel's maw, which will give credit for both Hydra Essence and Player Seasoning, assuming the player died, which is the goal. Then you can simply have your Ink runners send Sarukel away and finish the boss.

This achieve was also rather simple. We used 3 tanks to make it even easier. In the first phase you need to wait for the Mistress to spawn the murloc debuff on people and have them get stung by jellyfish. Once that happens we had the third tank taunt a murloc and an Abyss Eel or whatever they are called away from the group (and cleave), making sure we kept interrupts on the murloc. When she reaches Phase 2 at 70% she'll start casting Devouring Maw, first one being about 45 seconds in, you need to move both adds in to the large purple circle and they'll automatically get sucked in after a few seconds. Meanwhile the person with Hydra Shot also has to move into the purple circle and get shot inside it. Once those three are done, you can sacrifice a player and then finish off the mechanic with 3 inks to successfully complete the achievement.

To recap:
Hydra Essence comes from getting Hydra Shot while standing in the sucking purple circle
Eel Tartare comes from the Abyss Eel add things being tanked inside the purple circle
Ink Sauce comes from the actual mechanic (the purple swirlies on the ground) - We found we had to do this last or the adds would bug out and not get eaten
Murloc Fillet comes from the murloc add in P1 after getting the debuff and being stung by jellyfish and then being tanked inside the purple circle
and of course Player Seasoning comes from a player willing to give their life (and waste a battle res) for an achievement by standing inside the small blue circle.

Comment by Night

Hydra Essence comes from a player being hit by Hydra Shot within Sarukel's Devouring Maw.
Ink Sauce comes from a player soaking the Befouling Ink patch which has to come in contact with Sarukel's Devouring Maw.
Player Seasoning comes from a player willing to give their life by going into the inner circle of Sarukel's Devouring Maw.
Eel Tartare comes from the Abyss Stalkers, one of which has to die within Sarukel's Devouring Maw.
Murloc Fillet comes from the murlocs (Razorjaw Waverunners) from Phase 1, one of which also has to die within Sarukel's Devouring Maw.

Note: The Murlocs and the Abyss Stalkers need to be low health around 10% before they can be sucked into the Maw.

Preparation: To make this achievement extremely easy we recommend you use a third tank that will taunt murlocs and abyss stalkers away from the group so that they don't die to accidental cleave damage.

Murlocs (Razorjaw Waverunners) only spawn in Phase 1 (100%-70%) and players should stand within Thundering Shock patches so that the tank can pick them up once stunned players get dispelled.
Abyss Stalkers will continue to spawn throughout Phase 2 so you don't have to worry about them too much.

Strategy: To make the fight even easier you should first focus on getting "Hydra Essence", "Eel Tartare" and "Murloc Fillet" parts of the achievement. Befouling Ink (Ink Sauce) will stop Sarukel from casting Devouring Maw so you should try to do this last at the same time with "Player Seasoning" by sacrificing one of the players who soaked the ink.(##RESPBREAK##)396##DELIM##Nightswifty##DELIM##

Comment by DrHeckyll

The main thing with this achievement is to have a 3rd tank to hold the adds from P1 until till its time in P2. Once adds are low health (the OT will damage them in P1 but in P2 DPS can help), he can then move to the MAW and die - knocking over 3 conditions at once. Alternatively after doing adds you can get your hydra shot guy to do hydra shot and die. Inking after this will turn the tracking to white (if you haven't done it already). TLDR once the adds are sorted there are a number of ways you can get the achievement conditions met so make sure someone is tracking it!.

Comment by strangeclouds

I don't know if this will help at all but you have to kill the murlocs in the circle. We were just trying to drag him through and he never ate it. As soon as we killed one it gave us the credit.

Comment by Suej

Can be done in more than one Devouring Maw

Comment by zerei

Please note you need to get the mobs (eel and murloc) to 15% or less before they will get devoured. Get them to 15% and stop dps on them because if you kill them you will not get credit. If you do it right, you will see them kind of give up on life and jump into the inner death circle if they are at the right amount of health left and in the big circle. You do not need to drag them into the death circle, they should do it on their own.

Comment by tpla

As of 2017/11/14, everyone who dies during the fight will still get the achievement, so don't worry about having to resurrect people.

Comment by SFFCorgi

Doing this after 8.2, it still took us six wipes or so to get a strategy together. I went Bear and held the Abyss Strikers and eventually the Murlocs off everybody else using Moonfire and Growl, while the rest of the team concentrated on messing with Sass'zine after the Murlocs appeared - oy, we had such Murloc issues. After we got her down to the point of the Maw appearing, we concentrated on getting the Hydra Shot into the Maw, and I ran through some of the Ink with my mob of angry damaged eels. Once we had that, I ran into the outer circle of the Maw, zapping eels frantically while hoping the Murlocs were following, but letting someone else damage them. When we confirmed Murloc Fillet, I just slid the rest of the way into the Maw for a nice Player Seasoning and Inky rest while the others finished off Sass'zine.

Given most (or all) of us were capped and at least 370, the problems weren't taking too much damage before we could get the tasks done, it was those darn fragile and uncooperative Murlocs! I would say the eels, ink, and player were the easiest to accomplish, but had to depend on the enemy cooperating for the other two.

We will get Micromax NEXT week, I swear!

Comment by Shoddythetroll

the murlocs are simply very squishy in bfa. what my group did was having a caster go full naked and autoattack a marked murloc. we also luckily had two ranged interrupts so we used those to drag the murloc into sarukel. melee interrupts can work but i believe you will need /stopattack macros to make sure they don't get accidentally meleed

Comment by Patema

As of 8.3 this achievement is soloable with Balance Druid with Wild Charge talent and maybe by all classes that have some sort of quick escape skills (need further testing for anything besides a druid).
The Player Seasoning part does NOT require the player to actually die, just to take a massive 315k chomp off his HP. With max hp above 340k it is doable.
To get the that part completed let yourself be dragged to the inner zone of Sarukel's Devouring Maw with your back facing the outside of the zones and the moment you get inside just Wild Charge outside while in Balance form. You should still get hit once for the requirement to be marked as completed.
The hardest part for me was bringing a murloc below 10-15% hp before killing him but without weapons and in cat form while removing all damage boosting buffs it's not too hard to achieve that with few auto attack hits.
One thing to watch out is not to get knocked back into the maw by the Crashing Wave from Call Vellius.

Comment by Rozz22

I put together a short guide for soloing this achievement as a pet class. Hope it helps!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_vYHKMCrmM&ab

Few things to note:
- This achievement is not easy to solo for several reasons, so if you can find at least 1 friend to help you it would probably be much more worth your time.
- You have 40 seconds once Devouring Maw is cast to feed all 5 item requirements
- The hardest out of the 5 requirements is feeding the murloc to the maw. Since its health is so low you need to find a good balance of abilities that will reduce it to less than 15% health without killing it. Taking off gear may help, but since you also need to be able to survive a hit from running into the inner circle (for me even with 2 azerite traits in a 30 second duration bubble it would almost kill me) it makes it a challenge. This will more than likely not be a problem in future expansions after BFA, but reducing the murlocs health will be even more troublesome.
- Do not push her to 40% as she will not cast Devouring Maw (It is a phase 2 mechanic only).
- The murlocs only spawn during phase 1 (100-70%) so you must wait until you have at least 1 before you attempt the rest.

If you enjoy a challenge, soloing this achievement definitely is one.
Good luck!

Comment by Endemonadia

Just solod this ach as Lev60 Outlaw Combat Rogue.

All i did was downgraded my weapons to ilvl 30 and relied on auto-attacks being triggered by the mobs to knock down their health far enough. Basically target boss the whole fight and the adds get smacked with an auto-attack backhand now and then. Sometimes they die but sometimes they are lowered correctly.

The other requirements are easy to do.

Comment by Remembrain

I just soloed this as a balance druid, level 60 in Shadowlands, with item level 200 gear. But I took off my cleaving trinket, shoulders, cloak, wrist and weapon, which brought my item level down to 140. (You should probably include your weapon as one of the items removed, since it makes your melee more damaging)

Some others are saying that you have to kill the murloc in the maw. Don't kill it yourself. Let Sarukel eat it. It must be below 10%. 10%-15% is not low enough! I first had my item level a little lower than 140, which brought the murlocs down to 12%. I did that many times, and they were never eaten. When I raised my item level to 140, my punches then brought the murlocs down to 3%, and then they were eaten. I got them down to exactly 3% every time by just punching them 2 times (1 time, if there was a crit).

You have to keep the boss above 70% to spawn murlocs. 1 murloc is enough, but 2 is safer, in case you accidentally kill one.

When you get the murlocs, damage them below 10%, then damage the boss to below 50%, so she'll spawn Sarukel.

Once Sarukel spawns, you can (hopefully) safely walk into the very edge of his inner circle, then quickly back out. If you have heal over time spells, use them before going into the inner circle. I also used a defensive spell. Then walk back and forth between the far ends of the outer circle to kite the murloc into it (or interrupt his casting without damaging him).

The boss kept commanding Sarukel to suck me in with a very strong pull (even rocket boost wasn't enough to get away). She seems to only give that command if you get an eel eaten by Sarukel, which gives the Eel Tartare criteria...and she seems to only give that command if the Eel Tartare criteria is not the last criteria. If it is the last criteria, she doesn't seem to ever give the command. (At least, that was how it seemed to me, but I succeeded on the attempt where I tried doing that criteria last, so I couldn't confirm my suspicion).

If you do the Eel Tartare criteria last, and if I'm right, you won't have to rush killing the boss. I didn't have to rush...she never gave the sucking command.

Summary:

Lower your item level enough to get a murloc below 10% health with 1 or 2 punches, without killing him. Then begin.

Damage boss slowly until you get a murloc. Hit the murloc to get his health below 10%, then stay away from him, and avoid using cleaving spells.

Damage boss to get her below 50%. When she spawns Sarukel, quickly run into his mouth and back out. Heal.

Drag/interrupt murloc to get him inside outer circle.

Get Ink Sauce and Hydra Essence criteria (very easy).

Damage eels down to less than 15% inside the outer circle.

Kill boss.

Comment by Tyga

Shadowlands level 60 solo:

Tracking this achievement will show you which steps have been completed.

Do not damage the boss at all until you have a murloc and eel at <10%. Murlocs would not spawn for me if I damaged her, even if she was above 70% health. You will need to take off your weapon (and possibly other gear before the fight starts) to be able to get the murlocs to <10%.

Push her past 70% but keep her above 40% until she casts .

Stand in the outer circle of devouring maw. The eel should get sucked in. The murlocs range is short enough that you can drag them into the outer circle.

At this point you can damage her below 40% which will prevent devouring maw from rapidly sucking you in while you wait for her to cast Hydra Shot; It will only drag you in slowly.
Remain in the outer circle until she casts Hydra Shot on you.

Step into the inner circle for one tick and quickly get back out of it. It hit me for 18,000.

At this point all criteria has been met and the achievement tracker should reflect that, allowing you to kill the boss for the achievement.

Comment by Mailord

Is this even doable in patch 9.2.5 ?

I tried many things.
With half gear and no weapon. Can't get murlocs @ 10%.
With lower gear and i die.

Any got some tips or what to do ?

Note: Doing it solo.

Comment by Moin

I just did it solo with my Blood Deathknight level 60 in heroic.

What I did:

Preparation:
- Open the achievement in the watchlist
- Get totally naked execpt for my 242 level Two-handed mace.

Fight:

- Start fight with weapon equipped
- Kill the eels
- Bring Mistress Sassz'ine down to 75%
- Wait for Razorjaw Waverunner to get off (I still don't know how)
- Unequip weapon
- Get murloc to < 10% with just autohits (or restart. This is the critical part)
- Equip weapon
- Get Boss down to 60%, do not use AoE
- Continue to kill eels, do not use AoE
- Wait for Devouring Maw
- Stand in the outer circle until murloc gets sucked in and eaten.
- Murloc Essense will light up in the watchlist
- Do Hydra Essence, Ink Sause and Eel Tartare by just staying in the outer circel and hit eels
- You can do them in other Devouring Maw
- Wait for them to light up in the watchlist
- Enter the inner circle until you get hit
- Use Death's Advance to escape and run out of the cirles
- Now all points are white in the watchlist
- Kill the boss

You probably will need some tries to get it. To restart, die by getting eaten by the Maw.

Comment by ifloops

I solo'd this as an Arms Warrior, on Normal difficulty. It's very difficult, and I recommend bringing a friend to make it a lot easier.

You need a low gear setup. I did it with only a belt (190, legendary*) and shoulders (272) equipped. You need a weapon, which you'll equip and unequip repeatedly. Weapon item level is irrelevant, but higher is better, for the hp. Without the weapon equipped, my item level was 28. Your mileage may vary, and mine did, because of crits and other damage randomness. The idea here is to have low enough gear to punch the murloc to low hp without killing it, but high enough gear to survive the rest of the fight.

I also had self-heal talents. No "splash damage", aoe passives, or damage proc talents. Warriors: bring Impending Victory, don't bring Dreadnaught.

*The legendary effect was for movement (3 Leaps). This isn't a requirement at all, but could help. You don't want a damage proc legendary. Most legendary effects, or any similar ilvl, non-legendary piece should be fine.

Track the achievement.
Pull boss with weapon equipped.
Always kill the eels she spawns. Target yourself otherwise.
Don't dps her much. (I never went below 95%, and never had any problems with the murloc spawning).
She'll do a few attacks you can ignore, until:
You'll hear a murloc and get a debuff. When it expires, the murloc spawns near you.
Unequip your weapon. Get the murloc as low as possible. Avoid targeting it once it's low.
In my case, either 3 or 4 punches usually did it. Sometimes 3 wasn't enough, sometimes 4 killed it. Good luck.
If the murloc dies, another will spawn shortly and you can try again.
Equip your weapon and, without damaging the murloc at all, get the boss to < 60%.
Murlocs will no longer spawn. If it dies now, reset.
She'll cast Summon Ossumet, and Purple pools will spawn. Note where they are, but don't go in them yet.
After some time, she'll cast Beckon Sarukel, and a large circle on the edge of the area will spawn.

These circles are the achievement mechanic. There are 5 items they need to eat, in one fight:

- Two which will autocomplete while you're standing inside the purple ring (triggered by the boss's attacks).
- The murloc.
- An eel.
- You.

Important

After too long (60 seconds, maybe more) the circle sucks you in MUCH faster, usually killing you.
To prevent this, step into the purple pool spawned by Summon Ossumet earlier to get a debuff, and then step into the circle.
The circle will despawn. Another will spawn shortly after.
You can feed any circle any item, or miss one completely, or feed several items to one, it doesn't matter.
They spawn forever, so don't risk letting one stay up for too long.

The Murloc

Drag the murloc into the circle.
- You can drag him pretty close by just running as far out of his cast range as possible.
- To move him, be standing on top of him, and start running away as his cast finishes. He should chase you a bit before casting again.
- You may also accomplish this with a kick /stopattack macro, but you risk killing the murloc. I didn't try this.
You get achievement credit for Murloc Fillet.

An Eel

Same idea. Get an eel low, drag it to the circle.
- They have more hp and don't cast, so are much easier.
You get achievement credit for Eel Tartare.

You

Use every defensive you have, every hp boost, anything to survive a 10k+ hit.
Step into the blue circle and QUICKLY escape. (0.5 - 1.0 seconds).
Step into the blue circle for a half-second and use movement to escape.
You get achievement credit for Player Seasoning.

After the achievement tracker shows everything in white, kill the boss.

Comment by Swansinator

Solo'd this as a BM hunter 260 ilevel. Have your pet aggro and leave it on passive in the center.

I basically followed the instructions of others here but I didn't have to take any gear off - I found that if I used multi-shot a few times I could reliably get the murlocs and eels down to 15%ish health. Be careful not to turn your pet attack on if beast-cleave is active or it will kill your nicely prepared murloc.

I didn't bother to kill any adds, just left them all up until the devouring maw showed up (this happens after 60%, it took me a while to realize, so once you get your murloc spawned and get his hp down to 15% just take the boss to 59% and get ready). Use disengage or soul-shape to get yourself out of the inner-circle of the maw.

Comment by Eumy

I was able to complete this on heroic as a lvl 70 priest the other day. I was in shadow spec for the silence to be able to get the murloc to stop casting and follow me into the pool to get Sarukel to eat it. However, I also had holy nova talented and got rid of my twist of fate talent. After a while of trying to figure out how I could get the murloc to 10% or lower without killing him, this is what worked. I was naked except for a /Nokuhd Whittling Knife (I knew that I saved this for some reason lol). With a holy nova, I was able to get the murloc to around 13k or 14% health, and then I stabbed him until he was just under 10%, silenced, and got him to follow me into the pool and eaten. I would recommend doing this part first.

Comment by Lumaris1989

I was able to solo this today with my lvl 70 bm hunter. I was able to get the adds to below 10% health by doing the whole fight naked and with no weapon. Sometimes a add survived one punch with very little hp (around 6%) and after getting a murloc and eel this way with low hp, I punched the boss to second phase and pulled the adds to the pool. Was very easy that way.

Comment by pure162

Did it just fine as BM Hunter (lvl 70, ilvl482 - but fully nude). The hardest part was to get Murloc within 10%. I disabled my pet special attacks and his normal attacks did 49% of murlocs HP, without any food buff or flasks, so it required two normal pet attacks (non crits) to get murloc within right HP range and for it to be devoured.
