1st location is to the right on a pillar top as you walk in.
2nd location is straight ahead down the stairs. (you will see it :P)
3rd location is under Eonars platform behind the waterfall southwest side.
4th location is go to location two and and look north youll see it in between two pillars on the ledge.
5th location go back to the entrance of the room, turn left go to the edge jump on the rocks as high as you can go.use the special and fly around the the rocks to the south then go left(east) use your click so you can use the special again to gain height the orb is on the platform that is hidden off the side of the mountain.

Did this achievement on live servers on Nov 29th.

So interestingly, this achievement can be done before or after the boss fight, and I highly recommend you do it this way.

Throughout Eonar's Sanctuary there are 5 golden orbs, which spawn in sequence, one at a time. If the next orb in the sequence isn't picked up with a certain amount of time (60-90 seconds from what I can tell) then the sequence starts over again. To get to some of these locations you'll need to use the extra action button given to you in Eonar's room, and given the location of the 5th orb, you'll need the CD to be short rather than 30 seconds, which is to say that you can't do this achieve DURING the boss.

Explaining where they are in a room this big is pretty difficult, especially when so much of the scenery looks so similar, so I've added screenshots where possible. The screenshots will show you where I'm standing when I open my map to help you orient yourself as well as wide shots to help you identify where in the room I'm standing.

Orb 1 - Spawns on the platform that connects to both lower and upper tracks with jump pads. When you first walk into the sanctuary, with Eonar on your left, this platform is straight ahead. Orb Map
Orb 2 - Spawns on one of the little pillars on the door near middle path, which is the door you enter the Sanctuary through. In this shot, I'm standing right where Orb 1 was, and the orb you see off on the left is Orb 2, in relation to Orb 1. Orb Map
Orb 3 - Spawns underneath the platform where Eonar's essence is, which is the platform off to your left when you first zone into the sanctuary. Here are several angles. In this map shot, I'm standing here, with red marker being Orb 3 because yellow wasn't showing through the waterfall.
Orb 4 - Spawns between 2 pillars underneath the upper path, and is very near Orb 1. Orb ,another angle ,map and Orb 4 in relation to Orb1. In that last one Orb 1 is orange and Orb 4 is purple.
Orb 5 - Spawns on a balcony off in the middle of nowhere. The only way to get to it is to use your Extra Action Button, leap against the cliff, use it again, and then land on the balcony, which is why doing this during the fight (when using the button incurs a 30 second CD) is not advisable. Here are some screenshots to help you visualise where this stupid orb is. Balcony, Angle 1, Angle 2

As far as collecting them goes, it doesn't have to be the same person picking them all up, and everyone who was in Eonar's room got the achievement when we did it. We only had 3 of us when we did the achievement, so we had one person waiting underneath Eonar's platform for Orb 3, and one waiting on the balcony for Orb 5, and the had our 3rd collect Orbs 1, 2 and 4. I'm convinced that with proper planning this achievement would be soloable, and since it can be done as soon as you walk into Eonar's room, or after your raid kills her and leaves, this achievement is one of the easiest (and most fun) metas we've had in a long while.

Now importantly as a closing note you may be looking at some of these screenshots and thinking "Yarini, why have your friends both died?"

Because, fellow achievement hunters, my friends are dumb.

Using information from YariniCeteri's post, and a couple minutes looking around when we got there,
managed to solo this achievement in 3 tries like they thought we would be able to. Video here!

For this achievement, you will need to collect the 5 orbs of life within Eonar's Sanctuary. This achievement can be obtained after you defeat the encounter.

The orbs spawn in a fixed pattern. After collecting the first Orb of Life, you will then have to collect the rest within a certain amount of time or the orb sequence will reset.

Here is a picture showing all the locations of the orbs.

Orb 1 - Spawns on the platform which is connected to the lower and upper tracks with jump pads. Upon entering the Sanctuary, the platform is straight ahead.
Orb 2 - Spawns on one of the pillars at the door near the middle path, which is the door you enter the Sanctuary through.
Orb 3 - Spawns underneath Eonar's Essence platform, which is located to the left upon entering the Sanctuary.
Orb 4 - Spawns between the two pillars underneath the upper path and is close to the first orb.
Orb 5 - Spawns on a balcony far forward from the entrance to the Sanctuary, which you can reach by using the Extra Action Button.

Once all 5 orbs are picked up, everyone in the raid group will get credit for it and obtain the achievement.(##RESPBREAK##)396##DELIM##Nightswifty##DELIM##

Nothing much more to add here except, do this achievement when you have located all the locations that the orbs spawn. Start this when everyone is ready and in place to walk over the orb as it spawns from local to local in sequence. Once the achievement pops - start the fight, move on and forget this achievement ever existed.

The Dedicated & Openraid achievement group completed this on the 3/12/17. Average ilvl of the 30M group (2T/6H/22DPS) was 940+

Comment by Keboris

For anyone doing this achievement in 7.3.5, it was changed slightly in the patch.

The orbs now only spawn after you defeat the encounter.

There is also a short timer once you start picking them up, if you don't pick up the next orb fast enough they reset back to the 1st orb and you have to start over.
We had people waiting at each of the spawn points ready to get the orb as the first time we failed the timer by having 1 guy be too slow to get to the 5th orb.

This seems to have been added to prevent people from soloing the achievement? not a massive inconvenience

Comment by Aelexe

You have to do this achievement right after completing the boss.
If you come back to the instance later the orbs will not spawn and you will not receive the wings buff.

Comment by Shadowypain

I'm actually upset that this achievement isn't named

Comment by Alistriona

Easiest way to do this is have five people get to the places where the orbs spawn, THEN start collecting them. Otherwise they may despawn before you grab all of 'em and you have to wait for them to cycle up again.

Comment by judybooty

I can confirm that you can do this achievement BEFORE or AFTER you complete the encounter.

Comment by Feliciamarie

So not sure if a bug or not but I was able to do this achievement after I wiped and I didn't defeat Eonar, lol. I wiped and when I came running back to start the encounter, I saw that the first orb was up. So I went ahead and collected all the orbs and got the achievement without killing her.

Comment by SargerasWasRight

This is super easy to get solo. After the nerf you can solo Eonar on normal without ever entering the ship now.

Comment by Chakra

After failing this twice due to no orbs spawning, the first orb spawned before we even started the encounter. Collected all 5 without starting the encounter, got the achieve. Killed Eonar on normal to finish the raid. Might work for you as well, just wipe a few times. Easy achieve.

Comment by Thallia

After about 20 tries I finally got the achievement solo.
The hardest part really is getting from the 4th to the 5th orb. You need to use the action/boss button "Surge of Life" to do it. The button has two modes: jump and land. After you jump, it changes to land, and you have to target a spot and hit the button again, at which time you are flung toward that spot and the button becomes a jump button again. To get to the 5th platform, you need to walk off the 4th orb's platform into the abyss and let the reset transport you up to Eona's platform and as soon as you are being lifted up by the reset action, hit your action button to begin the gauntlet of button/target/land/button/target/land to make your way over, around, and up to that upper platform. What I finally figured out after about 18 attempts: you don't have to wait to stop moving once you've hit the land command, you can jump again as soon as soon as the button changes mode, even while you are sliding down the side of the mountain.
Good luck........

PS - I did it in while in druid travel form but since it was mostly button work I don't think the extra speed while hoofing made a difference.

Comment by alterecho

If you bring 4 friends along you can have them wait by each orb. Made it very easy considering the last orb spot.
