If Looks Could Kill...

Comment by Zhamant

If paladin or mage is about to get hit by beam then it is useless to use bubble or ice block. You may absorb damage, but game still counts that you got hit and you won't get this achievement.

Also there is/was some strange bug with pets. 2 weeks in a row no player got hit by beam, but both times warlock pet did. We didn't get achievement. Last week we dismissed all our pets and did it nice and smoothly and finally got our 10 points.

I just did this last night in an Ulduar 25 pug.

A few tips, use the min needed at ranged (5 ranged) all others stack in Melee. We had 2 mages, 2 locks and a boomkin. Locks on outside (using teleport facing away from boss, then run down stairs). Mages turned and blinked and boomkin just high tailed it out of there. Took a few attempts but knocked it out without to much problem.

The RaidAchievement mod thats found on Curse helps since it will announce if someone fails.

3 People outside his meleerange are enough.

Did this on the weekend, the strategy I tried on 10 player worked like a charm again, as I posted in the 10m achievement's entry:

I tried for several weeks to get this achievement using the "stair strategy" - 3 people spend the whole fight running up and down the stairs outside the room and everyone else stacks up close on the boss. For some reason that kept failing WITHOUT my achievement mod warning us (couldn't see why it failed in logs either). My strong suspicion is that at some point a pet got clipped.

This week I got the achievement using a slightly different strategy - the 3 people standing out run in circles. One on the left side of the platform, one on the right and one near the door. That way I could keep an eye on them to see if anything was hitting them or otherwise going wrong. We turned off all pets, no mirror images, shadow fiends etc and we got the achievement. I suspect it was the pets and not the positioning that was the issue but personally I think I prefer having my runners in the room with me.

Running in a circle is slightly less risky than the stairs in my mind because there's a slight chance you could get beams on you while you're doing a sharp turn and there's less room to move on the stairs in any case. Just make sure your circle is not too small (doesn't have to be large just enough that you feel comfortable that you're not going to be clipped) and don't stop running, dont stop to apply dots or heal etc etc and it's cake. He should be dead in 1-2 eyebeams anyway.

For maximum security I killed right arm, left arm then body - so we didn't get the optional extra achievements (I had them already :P) but it would certainly be possible to do rubble and roll (if you were very patient) or disarmed (I decided not to do that so as not to risk people getting gripped at a bad time - I don't know if grip will target the people standing out but I didn't want to chance it) at the same time. My advice: do those on a different week and dedicate one run to this one, it's one of the "hardest" to get.

Next week I will be trying the same strat on 25, fingers crossed :)

Had an attempt where a melee got focused by the eye beams after being released from a grip from the right hand. Be warned that if you have been released from a grip just before the eye beams come out, you are a possible target.

Comment by rhinoloupe

The eye beam has a huge (possibly unlimited) range within Ulduar. This means that you can get a group of people outside near XT on their mounts to easily dodge the eyebeams, while the rest of the raid stacks up in his melee range. The mounted group can just run around in big circles making this achievement quite trivial.

You need a minimum of 3 people outside, but since he can also grab you from XT's spot you should take a couple of extra people.

I soloed this achievement on my elemental shaman (yes 25man)

It took about 7 wipes to really figure out what was going to work and do my best to watch the stone grip CD.

I put first my fire ele and then my earth ele in melee range so he wouldn't breathe, and always had my self in place and prepared for the beams so they never surprised me. I would get them in center in melee at kologarn just to be safe with the stone grip, then after he cast the two beams I would run out between them every time. The opening wasn't in the same spot every time for whatever reason so be ready.

I ignored the arms and focused just on the body.

When I was being chased by beams I was making figure 8s in front of kologarn all while throwing out lightning bolts, so so so careful to not get hit.

I imagine any pet class can do it like this as well.

Hope this helps someone!

I tried soloing this as a Retribution Paladin but its very RNG based, and RNG is not my friend it seemed!
I ended up going with the guild, someone was after Fragment of Val'anyr. With a big enough group / decent DPS we managed to nuke his body down before it was even cast.

There is always someone doing a run for fragments, try using OpenRaid

Just did this solo as a ret pala.
Tactic is simple:
- Stay on him and cleave as much as possible to nuke his arms away so he dies faster.
- As soon as the beams spawn back away from the boss slightly, then run to the right then to the left in a circular motion, while avoiding the beams and keeping his breadth stacks at a minimum.
- Use RaidAchievement addon that can tell you if you failed and retry then.
This worked for me on the third try.
