Battle of Dazar'alor Boss Guides » Glory of the Dazar'alor Raider Achievement Guide
Glory of the Dazar'alor Raider is the meta achievement for the Battle of Dazar'alor raid in Battle for Azeroth. This achievement rewards the Dazar'alor Windreaver mount, one of the only three Pterrordax mounts available in Battle for Azeroth.
This guide assumes that players attempting the achievements have extensive knowledge of the fights. If not, please check the Battle of Dazar'alor Boss Guides.
Overview
It is highly recommended that you plan your raid setup ahead of time, since there are a few factors that will make the achievements slightly easier. You can bring anywhere between 10 to 30 players as long as you have classes that can cover all buffs and debuffs, as well as some CC. There are also a few key classes which you should bring:
You need to make sure that your raid has:
Can I Get a Hek Hek Hek Yeah?
Before you start the Champions of the Light boss fight, every member of the raid will need to click on the nearby Mysterious Trashpile to get Jani's Favor. Throughout the fight players will get transformed into Saurids and get an extra action button they can use to steal a shiny coin from the enemies.
For this achievement you will need to steal 3 shinies from each of the enemy NPCs. There is one Crusader, two Disciples and the Champion of the Light so you will have to steal 12 coins:
Barrel of Monkeys
By the stairs before the boss fight against Grong you will find 6 clickable Heavy Barrel’s. The raid team should pick them up and carry them to the boss area.
You will then need to pull the boss and let him hit the Heavy Barrels with Reverberating Slam (Horde) or Deathly Slam (Alliance).
Each Heavy Barrel that is destroyed will buff the boss with Going Ape, granting Grong a 20% damage increase for 30 seconds.
Once all 6 Heavy Barrel's have been destroyed, defeat the boss and you'll get the achievement.
Hidden Dragon
For this achievement you will first have to pull the Jadefire Masters and then pick up Jade Serpent Egg. The egg is hidden, but will become visible when you get very close to it. Since the boss areas are different for Horde and Alliance, the locations of the egg are also different.
Avoid taking damage from the Living Bomb or Phoenix Strike as they will break the egg.
Once the monk transforms into a Jade Serpent, all players should stack with the player carrying the egg and let it get hit by Dragon's Breath. Defeat the boss and you'll get the achievement.
Praise the Sunflower
This achievement is personal. You will need to use the /praise emote on a Singing Sunflower while buffed with Brilliant Aura. The pet doesn’t have to be your own.
You can set the Sunflower as your focus target and use this macro so you can quickly praise it:
/tar focus
/praise
The Brilliant Aura is a buff that requires one or more players to pick up the Topaz of Brilliant Sunlight. These players need to gain 100 stacks of Incandescence by simply staying away from other players.
At 100 stacks these players will gain the Grossly Incandescent! buff. All players standing near the buffed player will be granted Brilliant Aura. You will have to /praise the Sunflower while under the effect of the aura, and then kill the boss.
Walk the Dinosaur
For this achievement you will need to leave alive at least one of the first Ravenous Stalkers until the end of the fight.
Every 20 seconds the raptor will fixate a different player with Mark of Prey. The fixated player will need to kite the raptor away from damage to avoid killing it.
Death Knight's Death Grip can help keep the Ravenous Stalker away from the raid to avoid damaging it.
We Got Spirit, How About You?
To do this achievement you will need to keep the phantom adds alive until the end of the fight.
A third tank is ideal for this achievement as that player can pick up the adds and move them away from the raid. Simply tanking them away from incoming damage and ensuring Grave Bolt is interrupted should be enough.
I Got Next!
To complete this achievement you'll need an engineer with a Blingtron 4000 and Blingtron 5000.
Summon the Blingtrons before starting the fight, and shortly after the boss is engaged, the Blingtron MK2 will spawn. Defeat it, and then finish the boss fight and you will get the achievement.
Blingtron MK2 has only 2 abilities: Blingstorm (AoE damage ability) and Gold Chain Lightning (Chain Lightning ability, can be interrupted).
De Lurker Be'loa
This achievement required you to summon De Lurker Be'loa and then defeat the Stormwall Blockade encounter. You do not have to defeat the Lurker.
To summon De Lurker Be'loa you need to click on a fish pool to the left of the docks after the boss has been engaged. Leave one player on the docks while the rest of the raid does the boss normally.
After clicking on the pool, the player will start pulling a rope out of the water for 2 minutes. The player will be constantly pulled towards the water, and have to dodge incoming waves and swirls to avoid dying.
Once De Lurker Be'loa has been summoned, and after transitioning to the last phase, the raid will have to deal with its 2 abilities alongside the normal boss abilities:
To deal with the Lurker, you will need one player (ideally an Outlaw Rogue) solely focusing on stunning it every time it casts Hydro Blast. The rest of the raid will need to kill the boss before it enrages, while dealing with Undertow in addition to the standard fight mechanics.
Snow Fun Allowed
During the fight against Jaina Proudmoore, in the Howling Winds intermission, 3 snow mounds will spawn in the frozen area of the fight. Players need to run through the mounds before interrupting Jaina, or the snow will disappear.
Rogues and Demon Hunters are great for this because they can immune, rush through the narrow path, and start looking for the snow right away. Once all 3 mounds have been run through, players carrying the snow should stack near one of the barrels to create a Frosty Snowmon.
The player targeted with Broadside should drop this on the barrel, removing its Refractive Ice buff. Destroy the barrel, and the explosion will melt the Frosty Snowmon and grant you the requirements for the achievement.
Defeat the encounter and you'll get the final achievement in Dazar'alor. Congrats!
