Kommentar von ZizaZorian

Mindest Level: 85 (oder mit einer fünfer Gruppe auf 80)

Ihr solltet dafür am einfachsten dabei haben:
2 chars (am besten einer mit Spott).

Rennt wenn ihr in dem großen Raum seid direkt den Gang runter bis ihr Hadronox sehen könnt. Einer Spottet Hadronox und läuft mit ihm ganz hinter in den Gang wo er hergekommen ist. Der andere stellt sich oben an den Eingang hin und hält alle adds auf die Hadronox besuchen kommen wollen. Hadronox wird sich jetzt so lange heilen wie adds verfügbar sind. Die sind aber nach kurzer Zeit aufgebraucht und ihr könnt ihn ganz einfach töten (ohne dass er sich heilt).

Alternativ könnte der Schaden eines 90er dds inzwischen ausreichen um Hadronox mit 3 Schlägen zu töten, da hilft ihm auch sein ganzer Heal nicht weiter...

I got this tonight by tagging him right before he webbed the doors. The doors stayed webbed, but apparently the achievement still considered them open.

Easy easy.

Kommentar von Sunwind

anyone know how to do this? he seems to web the doors shortly after arriving at the platform you fight him on, will pulling him beforehand prevent him from webbing or will he still do it while fighting you?

Kommentar von 249391

pulling him will prevent him from webbing the doors, yes. however, adds keep spawning during the whole fight, attacking you, and healing hadronox when they die (only if they have his poison on them, but they probably will, when they die^^).
There is a bit of luck about this: if you are lucky with the adds dying, you might just dps him down, if you are unlucky some adds will die when he is at 10% or something, and he will be full again.

somehow the azjol-nerub achievements ALL suck.

Kommentar von aerophilia

I did this last night, it's definitly one of the harder achievements but doable as long as you can protect your healer & if someone in your group can remove diseases & Poisons it will help.

There is a guide you might find useful here: Hadronox Denied

EDIT: Also note, our group was geared in (mostly) level 80 Blues

Kommentar von Naradien

Right we just got this achievement, got it with pure luck since we had no clue how to do this in the first place,

Group setup :

1 Blood Deathknight
1 Unholy Deathknight
1 Prot Paladin
1 Destro Warlock
and me as Resto Shaman

We started out by killing the packs and letting the boss come up to where she usualy webs the doors
we were initialy going to try the "pull her and try to get her to web the doors at the same time" but that didnt work, so we wiped when we tried to kill adds and the boss

The second time we pulled we went for the same thing, failed again but now we decided midfight to nuke the boss and leave the adds alone, this for some reason worked quite well and the boss went down in less then 15 seconds with all the adds dpsing her.

a couple of pointers since i didnt specificaly look at the fight because i was trying to heal everyone up (yes we did wipe after getting the achievement)

1) make sure the tank has agro over the mobs, you dont want them to die as it heals the boss
2) make sure ALL your dps is focusing on the boss, the mobs add a debuff to the boss that increases physical damage done to the boss by about 50% so probably good to bring physical dps
3) Only our warlock was using a flask, the rest was not using any dps consumables
4) Our gear was around Naxx 10 man quality

I hope this bit of info is of any use to anyone, goodluck getting the achievement!

Kommentar von Sunwind

I can confirm that attacking the boss before he webs the doors, and hoping that he still webs them, does not work, he won't web the doors and will keep attacking the spawning spiders indefinetly, and bringing your party into the fight by pulling them over and splashing acid allover the place.

Seems the only way is to max nuke the boss and hope he doesn't heal too much from the spiders dying.

Kommentar von McEgan

The way my group did it tonight seemed really easy and it was dumb luck that I found out how to do it. First, face the 2 stairways. On the right it looks like a spike coming up out of the web/ground. You will notice all the mobs coming down the stairs cut close to the corner of this spike to go around.

After you kill the 3rd crusher pack, your tank should move with his left side to this spike, just before the corner of it, facing where Hadronox will come up. A few seconds later you will see him come up with a ton of adds on him. Your tank should move a few steps forward and taunt him off these mobs and move back to his position at the spike with Hadronox facing the path the adds from the stairs will take and shield wall. The rest of the group should move behind Hadronox so as not to get poisoned. The boss should already be at 80% just from the adds destroying him from behind. From this point on, do not do anything to #$%^ these mobs off. Don't AE, dont buff, and try not to heal too much. Just single target dmg him. The mobs coming from the stairs will cut the corner close like you want them to and will almost instantly be poisoned by the boss, which will cause them to aggro on him too. Just attack the boss and he will literally explode in about 10-15 seconds from both your attacks and the adds. He won't have enough time to kill an add himself to regen health. Our group was a shaman/mage/rogue/death knight/warrior.

The only downside to this strat is that after he dies you will have about 30 angry spiders that will destroy your group in seconds.

I found out a nice tactic for this achievement today.

We all waited on top of the web where you enter the room with this boss, just after the first boss. Our hunter pulled the elite Guardian, then feigned death. This reset the encounter, clearing all adds and leaving Hadronox nice and lonely in his chambers below. We then all jumped off the web and ran to the room where Hadronox is in, and nuked him down. There were a few adds in the end, but Hadronox died before any adds died due to poison.

Clever use of game mechanics ftw!

Kommentar von 68432

I just tested the above comments about aggroing the first keepers then reset the event.
As the nightelf I am I tested to aggro them and shadowmeld. Sure even rested fine and we rushed down to boss and killed him.
But we did not get achieve done as of today when boss died nothing happend.

Kommentar von Asora

Confirmed that the aggro & reset method worked, had a rogue throwing something at the Crusher and vanishing with the rest of the group at the top of the bridge, all the mobs and stuff despawned, we ran down to the boss with no interference and waited for him to respawn, popped hero and nuked him down with 2-3 adds reaching him in total.

Kommentar von Nyarlatoteph

The tactic we used: we had one rogue aggro the first Crusher and then vanish (causing everything to despawn as mentioned above), after which we went and nuked him down. The most important part was, however, to have 1 person afk reading wowhead comments - that seemed to do the trick!

Kommentar von ceemeeir

First time we had luck with this achivement, but the second time it took for a little while.
We got the achivement when we aoed down all 3 (huge blue) add together, forcing the boss coming from the bottom to the top in one turn.
Aggro Hadronox at the top, where it would throw web at the doors, and deliver some dmg.
Note: You don't have to deal more than 50% dmg to get the achivement and the loot.

Kommentar von jaxsonbateman

This is actually a fairly easy achievement when you know what to do.

We had our fury warrior in the group (only non-mana user in the group) engage the first trash pack naked and get killed, which despawned all mobs from the event - I imagine this has been programmed in to 'reset' the event if it is deemed a failure; that is, everyone in combat dying. In any case, the rest of the group ran down to Hadronox's spawning area as our resto shammy quickly rezzed the warr. When Hadro respawned I quickly engaged him, and turned him around so his back was facing the tunnel that the adds would come down. We then proceeded to burn down the boss, who died very easily.

One thing to note is that the spot you jump down after you kill the boss can not be escaped from, unless you are lucky enough to have Hadronox web you up to his platform. Basically, make sure you don't fall down.

Kommentar von Ishmadul

Just did this one yesterday when he was bugged again. He kept killing adds without closing the doors so we thought of the following:

If an add has the poison and dies Hardonox heals for 10% of his hp. So... they may not die. How? Keep them out of the AoE poison on the floor.

So we ended up with me (Protection Paladin) tanking and dragging Hardonox around using single target threat (don't want to aggro the smaller spiders). Same for the DPS: no AoE.

Eventually the healer should get aggro, but that shouldn't be a problem since he dies fairly fast (with the adds attacking him too).

Just make sure your group did more than 50% damage or you might not get creditted for the kill.

Kommentar von Enthorn

It is really not necessary to exploit game mechanics in order to do this achievement. Anyone who is paying any attention to what is actually going on will figure out how to do this achievement. McEgan's comment hit the nail on the head, though: there is already a mountain of spiders attacking Hadronox. He will heal to full when they die from his poison (because of the 10% health return).

This achievement requires you then to kill Hadronox before the spiders attacking him die. It is all about zerging him immediately when the opportunity presents itself. Bloodlust helps immensely, naturally. He will not web the doors if you pull him immediately, but he will web the doors after a short while of being alive. That is, if you get him to 60k health and then all the adds die and he heals full, he will eventually web the doors, thus preventing the achievement.

You don't need to reset the encounter to clear adds, or sneak by anything in order to do this achievement. It's all about immediately pulling him and nuking him down. Have fun.

Kommentar von Ajarat

We tried for about an hour, resetting him, re-rezzing, blah blah...it makes no difference.

I'd say getting down into her room and getting to a safe spot to be able to wait for a good time to attack helps a lot, but we honestly got the achievement by accident.

All the advice I can give would be...don't AOE the adds, they do heal her, yes, but they also DPS her a considerable amount. You need decent DPS, but it's really about staying alive long enough to get a lucky combination of add dps + your dps killing her faster than she can kill enough adds to heal to full.

When we got it, it was after several attempts at resetting, etc. etc. One of our DPS had already died to add aggro and we had pulled her to the "safe" corner to wipe. The other DPSer and I were just auto-attacking, waiting to die and we realized that she had somehow not healed in a while and the adds were taking her down so I just started spamming execute and we managed to get her down before the adds bit it. Crazy.

Kommentar von Contay

Got this achievement last night by.... doing nothing.

Yes, that's right.

Hadronox came up with his flurry of adds, but the poison just simply wasn't happening. Our tank shot him once, but Hadronox was overwhelmed by the adds and died to them. Not ONCE did he ever do his poison. We got the achievement as we stood around looking quite stunned and confused.

"So uh, what were we supposed to do for this achievement again?"

"Kill him...."

"Well, we didn't even do THAT."

"Yeah, I know. O_O"

Clearly bugged, but I'm glad that this supposed "difficult achievement" is now out of the way!

Kommentar von mrgummage

If you have a paladin in your group, have them Judgement of Light the boss, this will heal the adds attacking and give you those few extra seconds before they all die from Leach Poison to take him down.

Kommentar von lisurc

Got the achievement without that "make'em'despawn!" trick with a demonic circle Warlock kiting the second and third crusher up to the instance while the group got down to Hadranox to kill her.

We used basically the same technique I described in this comment (with the first boss of the instance).

Group setup was :
Druid (Feral, Tank)
Death Knight (Blood, Dps)
Rogue
Paladin (Holy, Healer)
Warlock (Demonology)

The thing was to kill the first crusher, wait for the first "automatic" add to get to us, then while it was being killed by the group, I (Warlock) planted a seed in the middle of the pack, and teleported right up to the ramp before running to the entrance. Just take care of being really fast to run because crusher seem to be able to hit from below the ramp. Also, be sure to use the maximum range of the demonic circle. Placing it on the concrete part (not the web one) of the ramp should be OK for you to start kiting at the moment the seed explodes.

Kommentar von Tyleczek

If you have good timing you can bug him and let adds kill him for you. I've pulled him when he was next to right stairs, and then he lived about 3 seconds before adds kill him.

Kommentar von 28826

You can pretty much bug this encounter with the winter racecar you got from Grandfather winter.

Just bug it, go downstairs, mow him down as soon as he spawns, the end. Achievement earned.

Kommentar von NymphetamineOD

My group killed him tonight without the doors being webwrapped and no achievement. Possible 3.0.8 bug?

Kommentar von 309955

Killed tonight and got achieve CT racer works

Kommentar von 269688

I can confirm the racer car worked, we pulled levitated down and when had we pulled, we did get a lot of adds butluckily none of them died from poisen

Kommentar von 311350

We did this easily enough. Hunter used his pet to despawn adds, ran down to Hadronox's room and engages him the moment he respawned. There were only about 1 or 2 adds on him when he died. DBM recorded the fight as being 40 seconds.

Makeup:
Frost DK (tank)
Unholy DK
Marks hunter
FFB mage (me)
resto druid

All of us were full or almost full epics with several T7 pieces and a handful of 7.5.

If the fight took much longer, we might have needed to slow-kite the boss in a circle to keep the adds from dying to poison clouds, but it was pretty fast and the tank kept the boss stationary.

Kommentar von Hezkezl

My guild and I just did this tonight. I, the tank, volunteered to be the guinea pig. They soulstoned me, I stealthed down past the first group of elites that you need to pull normally. I feral faerie fired them, and then dashed down the ramp as far as I could get, so that I would be close to the boss, just in case it spawned early. Turns out there was no need to go down that far. Soon as I died, they all respawned. I popped SS, ate my food buff and got my mana up a little bit, then we ran further down the web to where he spawned. I grabbed him, we burned him down to ~10% or so before the adds came down the web far enough to where I need to kite him away. We killed him shortly thereafter, got the achievement, and then burned down a couple of the adds that stayed up.

More than likely could be done with a Shaman with their ankh up, but as I said, I volunteered to be the test dummy for the SS :D Next time, I'll probably take my gear off to avoid a repair bill, and then use my gear mod to put it all back on when I resurrect.

Kommentar von 312183

My guildies and I went in there a few nights ago to try the Crashin' Trashin' Racer trick.

We reset it, ran into his room where he spawns, and killed him as soon as he popped..... No achievement.

I had the idea that maybe it bugged out because he didn't actually begin moving on his own.

So the next night we went back in, reset the gauntlet and ran into his room as usual.

This time we ran back to the far left of the room, which was past a large pillar, to avoid aggroing the incoming waves. By the time you get to the room he will just be about to spawn so hug the pillar because you won't aggro him from there even if he has completely spawned.

Wait for Hadronox to engage with the mobs streaming down to attack him before your group tags him. Kill and win!

Kommentar von Stryper7

What makes this possible is that the lil nerubians attacking him apply http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=59348 . This affects physical damage only(+30% damage taken in normal but +50% in heroic), so nuking him down will be the easiest with a melee dps oriented group.

And as mentioned by posters above, NO AOE's you will either kill adds and http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=59417 will be healing Hadronox, or if the adds don't die they will focus on you, and if you are a tank and get the +50% damage disease you can't expect to last too long.

Kommentar von 157107

We used no tricks for this achievement today. This method does require raid gear dps and a good tanka nd healer but here's how we did it as a :
Paladin Tank
Paladin Healer
Fury Warrior
Balance Druid
Survival Hunter

Basically engage him as soon as he comes up as usual (before he blocks the door off obviously). At this point you should notice him spiking down to half health healing up to full etc. You need to aoe down all the adds its not too hard just requires some good dps. This heals him up to pretty much full. Now continue the boss as normal without aoe killing any of the newer add spawns and you should be able to get him down without the adds healing him too much.

If you're interested in recount figures for that fight we had 2.7k dps off boomkin 2.2k off tankadin 2.2k off hunter and 1.6k off fury warrior.

The reason some of that dps is so high can obviously be contributed to aoe though.

Kommentar von GhostFlight

We just did it, Just make sure you have a rogue.

Rogue hops down and aggros the first 3 spiders that start the event, then vanish. They all reset and gives you around 30 secs to get to where Hadronox spawns, she respawns burn her and grats!

~Ghöst@Spinebreaker

Kommentar von Hedges

We just did this 4man (Rogue, Enh Shaman, Feral Druid, Disc Priest). We used the above tactic of taunting the boss to the cornerwhere all the adds walk around (looks like a turret, slightly red in colour) we just nuked the boss down and then made sure our tank had all his CDs still up including AoE taunt, he popped all of them and we managed to take the adds down as well with Pain Supression from the Priest .

Kommentar von 32973

Did this tonight with bug(?)

Rogue pulled then vanish to make all mobs despawn.
We run to the boss room, stand at left hand side where you won't aggro the boss. Wait till mobs spawn and attack boss. We engage the boss, kill him and get this done.

No death.

Kommentar von sillyrabbit

the above exploit strategy of despawning the adds no longer works for completing the achievement. You will still be able to kill the boss before he webs the door, but you cannot get the achievement this way. Go go normal strategies.

Kommentar von 325149

funniest achi ever.. people shocked when they get what I did with my trashing racer :)

Kommentar von 305569

Can confirm the Crashin' Trashin' Racer method still works in patch 3.0.9.

Discipline priest, arcane mage, prot warrior, elemental shaman, and ret pally stayed on the ramp above the crushers.

I dropped a racer and ran past the crushers. Took a few seconds for them to recognize it but they aggro'd, killed it instantly, and we dropped down and ran into the room.

Had the mage ice lance Hadronox to pull him, hugging the left wall of the room. Killed him by the time a few adds reached us, got the achievement.

Kommentar von Muxtar

Well, we tried 'crashin trashin racer' method yesterday - killed boss without adds but got no achievment. Is there any normal way to do it without hundreds of adds on boss (when she comes up)?

Kommentar von 198073

This was quite a funny achievement. After a couple of wipes we desided to try the "Crashin' Trashin' Racer trick", and I can confirm that it still works. As Pounced writes, it took a few second for the crusher to recognize and kill the racer. The entire event despawn and all running down fast where boss is. The event have about 30 sec respawn. Pulling boss asap when the boss spawning, popping all cds and nuke him down. We got a couple of adds before he died and we got achievement. They didn't despawn so either you wipe or just jump down and loot after last boss.

Kommentar von Stigmata

Have someone run in naked, go as far down as they can, once they die and the mobs despawn everyone run down to where boss will spawn while healer resses mr. suicide.

Once boss spawns nuke as you can and keep adds best you can from the poison that heals her.

This was quite easy although we did have excellent dps.

Kommentar von 295901

We did this yesterday with the Cashing Thrashing Racer method and didnt get credit for the achievement :( I opened up a GM ticket and will post here if anything comes of it.

One thing we did realise is that if you can just keep moving the boss out of the poison cloud he drops you can probably do this without using any "exploitive" techniques. Also having 2 DKs is awesome for double army ownage.

Kommentar von 39218

Just got this achievement without any exploits :o

When the boss is nearing the entryway, kill off the last crusher and go through the tunnel (DPS and healer has gotta be ahead of the tank) and go about 20 yards in, get any adds on the healer and burn the boss down. The running down the tunnel allows the adds to attack the boss while chasing our tank. Then, if you're lucky, you can kill off the other adds (I adrenaline rush + blade flurry + FoK to kill off the adds and managed to survive), but usually you'll probably die to the 800 adds.

Good luck with the achievement :D

Kommentar von 336076

Ok i just did this achievement with Crashing trashing racer tactic and even when everything was done perfect we didnt got credited kill after he was down.My mate tho confirmed me that he done it with both rogue vanishing and using racer in past week.So i am wondering anyone here done it lately?And what in our group went wrong?Is it random when you will get achiev. or what?Any answer would be welcome considering this is one of last i need.

Kommentar von 336076

Ok i tried again and it worked :) I guess with that method its RNG sometimes it works sometimes doesnt

Kommentar von Neryssa

I can confirm that the despawn method still works as of 3.0.9, did it with Feign Death.

Kommentar von Priderage

Indeed, the way we (accidentally!) did this achievement was that someone died to the first pack, which despawned all of the mobs - we res'd this person (was out of combat, but Rebirth was used), ran down, waited for Hadronox to spawn and killed her.

Kommentar von Ajaco

We tried this tactic today, a druid pulled, shadowmelded - first mobs despawned, and we ran and killed him. We did not get the achievement. So this does NOT work as of 3.1.0

Kommentar von nosound

Khenra

Worked for us today very well, the boss was on 3% when first add made it to us. The best possible tactics.

Kommentar von 266777

did this last night consisting of:

prot pally, unholy DK, arms warrior, combat rogue (me) and disc priest

I pulled the first mob, then vanished and the mobs disappeared. So we ran into his chamber, waited for him to respawn, killed him and got achiev. Adds came after he had died.

Very easy way to get achiev

Kommentar von 19196

Did this today with a modified hunter feign death strat. I as the resto shaman sacrificed myself to the crushers, die, they despawn, we run down to Hadronox, he respawns as we get to the bottom of the tunnel. DK tank stays in tunnel to gather adds. 4 of us blast boss down. Everyone lived.

Super simple for us in naxx10/25 gear. Resto Shaman, Warrior Tank, Warlock, DK tank, Boomkin

You can also do this strat with a soulstone.

Kommentar von clic

Despawn tech still works as of 1st June, as a reminder you just have to have one guy pull the first 3 static mobs and die/vanish/feint death while the others stay on the platform above. Then as the mobs despawn run down to where Hadronox spawns (on top of the web just before the hole leading to Anub Arak) and burn him down.

Kommentar von 386965

We tried a hunter feigning death and also a rogue vanishing... didn't seem to work for us.

Our method - worked perfectly... you basically have to be prepared to sacrifice someone.

A DPS ran into the mobs that start the fight whilst running toward the way down to Hadronox.
Said DPS died, everything despawned.
Rest of the party ran down to Hadronox, ressing said DPS on the way
Fought Hadronox as normal but in his original spawn point.
Got the achievement.

Kommentar von 326601

Crashin' Thrashin' Racer.

Kommentar von 133284

Just to confirm, after all the nay-sayers above, this DOES still work with a shadowmeld. Got the achievement a couple of days ago.

1) All party was out of LoS on the ramp above the first pack of three mobs.

2) Nelf Druid engaged the crusher from range and shadowmelded.

3) Upon despawn, everyone quickly ran down the ramp and zerged Hadronox.

I have a feeling that the people complaining about not getting the achievement when trying to reset the encounter in this way may have lost the dps race...

Kommentar von 344929

We did it today with no abusing game mechaincs,because we didnt have hunter/rogue or crashin' trashin' racers.

Group Compositon

DK - DPS but she was off tanking Crushers
Warlock (me)
Paladin - Healer
Priest - Shadow,but she throwed some heals
Paladin - Tank

DK was off tanking Crushers,and when we killed them,he was just standing there to pickup incoming non-elite adds from healers.When Hadronox was in end of tunel,Pala tank pulled him,and we first killed adds who were attacking boss because if they are still alive,Hadronox will constanly reset to full hp.Then we nuked boss,got achivement,continued and completed Gotta Go! for Anub'Arak.

Kommentar von synth7

Worked just now, 6:44PM 7/13/2009

Me (rogue) ran in and despawned adds, we all ran down and burned boss. Cakewalk.

Kommentar von EskimoBob

Heres how my group did it. The pally tank rushed in while we were talking about what we were gonna do. We followed expecting a possible wipe. I aoed the mobs rushing in while concentrating my DPS on the boss. And somehow we survived with near full health up till the very end when I and the off tank died from a few choice crits.

Kommentar von 168407

The feign death/fight resetting method still works after 3.2. I did it with my mage. Our pally tank bubbled me and I slowfalled down, starting the event. I popped invisibility and just managed to go invisible before the mobs hit me. It's a big more tricky as a mage since it isn't instant but it still worked. It's also a good idea to leave CC in place for any adds that come down the hallway.

Kommentar von mickytk

My group found a strange method for this last night. We weren't going for the achievement, but somehow we accidently got pulled into the melee around Hadronox while he was still smacking adds on his way up the tunnel. I was the tank (frost DK), naturally i started grabbing the aggro and laying down all the AOE i could manage.

He still managed to take out adds with poison clouds despite his attention being all on me, so his health was constantly respawning (and so were the adds, there was something like 20 or 25 at this point).
I swear our healer was working overtime to keep me alive.

Anyway, for about 15 or 20 seconds he didnt drop any clouds, and during that time, the adds killed him - doing tons and tons of damage, and we got the achievement.

Of course, then they all turned on me and I had to pop every cooldown I had.

But yeah, we got the achievement =)

Kommentar von balatro

Shadowmelding didn't work for us as of August 07, 2009.

we stayed up in the room above, rogue ran in to aggro, shadowmelded and adds ran past him, up the ramp to us. we ran out to reset, tried further back, same thing.

So, we one upped the encounter and brought the adds with us to engage the boss. Pally grabbed them all and boss and we focus fired the boss down. Got the achievement that way.

Uld 25 hard mode geared group, lowest dps was 7.5k so that helped

Pally tank - put out about 3.5k dps
Rogue - approx. 8k
Arms warrior - 7.5k
DK - 7.5k
Pally healer - spammed HL the whole fight for about 25k each and blew DS when group got low

Kommentar von 135354

If you go for the reset method, be prepared cause you won't have much time before the repop adds spawn and come after you. Very easy to aggro them and get stuck or spread out down the hallway.

On the bright side, if you have a self-healing tank like a pally, its possible to do this without a healer... Just don't smack hammer or consecrate out of habit. :D

Kommentar von 405574

Did this the "fun" way. Had me healing (holy) and Hadronox bugged out, engaging us and neglecting to web the doors (lazy bastard). So for 5 minutes or more, we would get him down very low, and then he'd heal himself all the way to full with leech poison on those adds. Eventually, we managed to coordinate trinket/CD popping and get him down after he topped himself off.

This was a melee-stacked group (pure coincidence, everyone loves death knights), and we would not have been able to do this without the +50% physical damage debuff applied by adds (and I contributed with dots during the burn). Final healing looked like this:

http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/3489/hadronoxdenied.png

Total healing:
Me: 1.16 million healing done, 130 prayer of mending bounces (totaling 500k healing), and 2 lightwell clicks.
Ret pally with a very commanding 545k healing done through judgement of light, much of it done to hadronox's adds.

Kommentar von vrigorgana

Shouldn't this say "...Heroic Difficulty before she webs the top doors..." or am I confusing my giant female spiders?

Kommentar von davidr64

Did this without a Crashin' Thrashin' Racer, and without forcing a reset with FD/SM/Vanish/whatever.

Setup:

Prot Pally Tank
Fury Warrior (me, usually our main tank, but dual spec'd fury)
Disc Priest
Elemental Shaman
Affliction Warlock

Strategy:
Pull Hadronox just before she closes the doors and drag her up the side ramp. Use the Fury Warrior's healing debuff to stave off her healing while the rest of the group nukes her down.

Tactics:

You have plenty of time to kill the three crushers. Take them on as normal pulls.
When the crushers are all dead, the tank moves to the entrance of the hallway where Hadronox approaches. Grab her with a ranged attack, OR have a party member snag her to get aggro and the tank taunts off.
Pull Hadronox to the bottom of the ramp that leads into the room from the first boss. You don't need to move up this ramp, just get her at the bottom of it. (This creates a small bit of distance between the spawns and Hadronox.)
Once Hadronox is in position, Bloodlust and crank up the single-target DPS. You do not want to use AoE here, except for any AoE the tank needs to maintain threat.
The fury warrior's talent Furious Attacks will quickly stack to 2 on Hadronox, and any mobs that die around her while diseased/poisoned will only heal her for a small amount, allowing your group to pretty much just cut through her.
Once Hadronox is dead, be ready to deal with the swarms of mobs that she was tanking for you while she was alive. Someone in your group is probably going to die after the achievement is earned. :)

Considerations:

A Mortal Strike warrior or a rogue with Wound Poison could take the Fury warrior's place here.
Effectively any tank with a decent amount of mitigation/avoidance could take the place of the Prot pally here.
Any good single-target DPS could take the place of the Elemental shaman, but remember that you would lose out on Bloodlust this way (not recommended).
Effectively any good single-target DPS could take the place of the Affliction warlock.
Effectively any healer could take the place of the Disc priest here, especially those with good AoE healing.
If you are also going for the Gotta Go! achievement (kill the last boss of the instance in 4 minutes or less), a group with this much single-target DPS could effortlessly pull it off.

Optional Recommendations:
Our group did not need to do any of this, but we found some of these to be quite beneficial in different ways.

Harass your warlock about his DPS, no matter how high it is.
Unrelentingly question your warlock's sexuality, even if he/she is married or has a significant other.
Have your Fury warrior drink tea while doing this achievement.
/laugh at your warlock when you get a free moment.
Love your warlock. :)
Ignore all of these optional recommendations.
If you choose to follow any of them (which you shouldn't), use your better judgement and don't hurt anyone's feelings, you jerk.

Love,
Afternoon

we tried the strat of me jumping down, dieing, at which it reset, everyone else runs down and I being ressed. We also, for certainty, had hadronox tag a spider before we tagged him. We thought it to be nearly impossible, and then my Living Bombs went off :P (about 50 mobs around him, living bomb criiting almost 45% of the time, for 4,5k each crit).

For those interested, our group was made up of:

Pally (prot)
Lock (destro)
DK (unholy)
Pally (holy)
Me (FFB mage)

Kommentar von Scharr

I don't know how we did this, honestly.

Our group was debating it, as we were just really out farming for badges. After hemming and hawing, we decided we hadn't the DPS, and just went for the kill. Dropped the Crusher packs, and Hadronox walks on up. I, as the tank, wait a moment before attacking, so the spiders moves into the main chamber, and out of the hall.

Then, the jerk shoots out a bajillion web strands and drags us all in. Reflexively, the party mashes a bunch of buttons while trying to reposition. Then... Hadronox falls over, dead. Achievement earned.

Yay for that half-a-second gap where the adds really hurt her, but she doesn't heal back yet?

I asked my friend to help me with this one today and we used a 'trick' I'm not sure others know about. I'll try and explain it as simply as possible.

Step 1: Have group standing on the bridge just after the first boss.

Step 2: Tell your mage (ONLY) to run down to the trash, aggro them, and go invisible. This should reset the mobs.

Step 3: Almost immediately after the mage goes invisble, have the rest of your party (which should still be standing on the bridge) jump off the side of the bridge and run all the way down the tunnel to where there's a hole, as quickly as they can (mage included.)

Step 4: Do not jump down the hole (which leads to Anub'arak), instead, wait a few moments and Hadronox should spawn right in front of you.

Step 5: DPS Hadronox.

...grats on your achievement! :)

Hunter FD method still works as of patch 3.3.

Kommentar von MilknessDalvengy

I got my achievement through a bug. Let him kill the spiders, engage him, achievement. Weird.

Kommentar von benefactorsama

Using the Chrashin' Thrashin' Racer in Heroic AN to bug Hadronox did NOT work. Unsure if the Vanish/Feign/Shadowmeld tricks will work, but, I can say without a doubt that the Crursher at the start of the "event" did not notice the Racer.

Kommentar von 276691

The feign death/vanish/shadowmeld tactic does not appear to work any longer (3.3.2). Yesterday our rogue stealthed in, attacked a Crusher, then vanished, and all that happened was the mobs started running after me (prot warrior standing in the far corner). We then tried to kill the boss while all the spider adds were still on him, but he was getting healed by the poison too fast and so we wiped. We didn't know not to AOE the spiders.

However, there does seem to be an extremely easy way of doing this that does not involve dying. On the next attempt, as soon as Hadronox came out, I accidentally charged him -- got too jumpy, I guess! -- so I backed out and stopped attacking. He targeted me for a second, but then returned to his little spider buddies. Because we were put in combat with him, we were occasionally sucked in by his web grabs or hit with the single-target poison, but we simply kept backing up and waited until all the spider adds were dead. Then the fight proceeded as usual (plus the web grab, which I don't think is normally used?). When we killed him we unexpectedly got the achievement.

Kommentar von 441773

Got this achievement kinda by accident. We killed the 3 groups, then the fire mage we were with put Living Bomb on the boss as he came up to us. For some reason this caused him not to cast the webs. Nearly all of the adds were dead when the mage finally got agro & I taunted off. We then nuked the boss down.

Kommentar von Fjesruller

Here's an alternative strategy of how to do this achi.

Me (on my decent geared prot pally) and my somewhat better geared lock friend queued for AN, hoping to get in group with a class able to bug Hadronox. However, we ended up with an elemental shammy, a death knight and a resto druid, all decently geared. The main tac was to run straight down to the boss, relying on that my incredible faceroll power would get us through it. Unfortunately, we ended up with a *!@#load of adds, constantly healing the hungry boss.
At some point during the heat of the fight I yelled to the DK "OT the adds further up in the hallway", it took a while before he realized what I requested him to do, but when he finally got to it he died in a few seconds. As the druid later ran out of mana, the shammy, my lock friend and the druid himself followed the DK to the spirit world. Me however, jumped down to the level below Hadronox (place with that big hole in the ground) as a last resort to avoid repair bills. This kept me and the boss in combat for long enough to let the rest of the group corpse run.
As we wanted to try again, the lock threw up a summoning portal in order to give me a summon which I could not accept due to the fact that I was still in combat. I waited for about a min or so, then I realized that a HS to Dalaran would get me out of combat. As soon as I got to Dalaran Hadronox got in combat with the lock and ran up to the entrance of the instance where the group were waiting for me and killed him. The DK, who now was a bit more self-confident with his tanking skills tanked the boss while I accepted the summoning back to AN. When I got there the druid CR'ed the lock while I taunted the boss, popped wings and we finally got him down.

Best thing is, we even got achi.

Kommentar von kilorat

I just did this now with the crashin thrashin racer, just agro any of the adds and boss + all adds will reset. then run all the way down to before that part you jump down, and boss will respawn right there.

Kommentar von Amnistic

It is annoying every time he kills a spider, he regains health.. This is ridiculous. I could try the suggestions above to nuke that freaky arachnopod!

Kommentar von sopor30

The Crashin' Thrashin' Racer DOES work. I confirmed it today with a group. The only trick to making sure that it works is to right click and attack the elite mob with it. Doing so will cause the Crashin' Thrashin' Racer to explode and the mobs should then disappear.

Kommentar von 253413

Hey people.

The bug that people usually use for this boss by making adds despawn etc to just have the boss left seems to be non-working as of recent patch.

ive done the bugged way twice and havent gotten credit.

As to how blizzard has intended us to do this (done it the bugged way on several chars since release) i do not know.

My guess is that you need to kill the adds repeatedly , thus have someone assigned for it. And burn down the boss fast meanwhile.

Anyways, bugged mode by despawning the adds does not work!

Kommentar von 682137

I don't know how he did it, but when I did this on heroic, a rogue pull the first guy and creeps ran to the side, they disappeared, and we ran past to kill Hadronax without any creeps. This got us the achievement and the guy said it was a bug. Just putting this out here.

Kommentar von Revrant

Ohhh boy, got this one by accident, I decided to pull him before he hit the top of the webway, I assumed as always he would web after a little while, unfortunately the encounter bugged and he WOULD NOT web the gateways.

We lost two people, our healer was a shaman and tried to abandon the situation and run out after about four minutes, the only way we survived was I pulled the boss way up to the entrance and zerged him before the next wave of adds came, blowing all my tanking CDs in the process.

I was lambasted for pulling early, nice to know I wasn't crazy in thinking he's SUPPOSED to web the gateways, I won't be doing that again in any case.

Kommentar von Spectaculo

I can confirm that the hunter feign death trick works as of 4.0.6.

We had two hunters, a DK and a lock in group. Have a hunter run into the first group alone and when he gets aggro, feign death. The adds will despawn, Hadronox will despawn, and the encounter will reset. Now, have your entire group quickly begin the run down the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel, in the room you normally jump down through, Hadronox will respawn. You can then take him down normally and you will get the achieve.

Kommentar von jprich

At 85 no trickery needed.
We snuck down the right side into the cave outran the smaller enemies and wasted Hadd where she stood.

Two 85 fury warriors and an 85 arcane mage.

Kommentar von Iroared

Soloed as 85 ret (355 ilvl), just ran in and zerged, he didn't have time to heal from the adds apparently.

Kommentar von Noobalator

Easily done as an 85 Hunter, didn't even worry about popping a mend pet. MM spec burned down with a trinket+rapid fire Aimed Shots, hit Readiness and repeat, got a small heal on as I finished off with Kill shots.

Kommentar von Darkicon

Easily done as a hunter. Jumped off the ledge to bypass the Anub'ar Crusher's group, used my parachute so I don't take damage, ran down to Hadronox, popped FD to despawn the mobs that were on me and DPS'd Hadronox. For 10-15 seconds he'll be basically invulnerable due to the poisoned mobs but after that he stopped poisoning them.

Kommentar von gamefreek2910

This is soloable as of 4.2. I did this as an 85 frost DK with no resets, just ran down the ramp, army of the dead/minion and bursted the boss.

Kommentar von Derpson

Just solod this as a frost DK. Pretty easy, just jumped down, killed the three big mobs and their adds, then when boss came I just nuked him really quick before all the mobs on him died. My item level is 389.

Kommentar von Grimtongue

As of 4.3 this easily soloed by a 80 Blood DK (twink), so any 85 should have little problem with it. Simply run all the way down to his spawn point, right before the spot where you drop down and DPS him. For whatever reason, he does not benefit from heals at that spot.

Kommentar von 961094

Basically engage him as soon as he comes up as usual (before he blocks the door off obviously.

Kommentar von Damselfly

I was confused by all the differing explanations for the achieve, so I followed the one I read that made the most sense for 4.3.3. I did this achieve as an 85 frost DK, in full PvP gear, half Conquest, half honor.

What I did was run straight down the tunnel following the running mobs to Hadronox. (I did not engage the 3 mobs waiting for you in front of the tunnel, since I think when you kill them it makes Hadronox run up the tunnel to meet you. When he runs up the tunnel, he webs it shut and the achieve is a fail. To be safe, I avoided them, and also did not kill any mobs that I aggroed on the way down toward Hadronox just to be safe. They were only a mild annoyance, slowing me once and did not get my hp down much at all.)

Once I was at the bottom of the tunnel with Hadronox, I engaged it and burst everything that was not an aoe. I don't know if aoeing is safe or not, but again just to be safe I single-targetted, as all the differing suggestions on this achieve were confusing to me.
Hadronox did not heal at all, and it went down very fast, in less than 10 seconds maybe. I got the achieve. After it was dead, I commenced clearing the adds and mobs, popping army and all my aoe/heals.

I personally believe you're fine killing the mobs around Hadronox as long as he doesn't run to the top of the tunnel, but I wanted my proto right away, or else I would have tested things out just to forward the info. :) Maybe someone else out there will?

So I hope this comment helps some folks. :) If you're squishy, you can likely do this easy with someone else tanking the mobs for you. GL!

Kommentar von Nyctalops

As of 4.3.4, the hunter 'jump off the side, run in and feign death to despawn Hadronox and his adds, then kill him on the respawn' method worked fine for me. If you don't have a parachute, you might try camouflaging to sneak by the mobs in the main room. Just remember to make sure you have Hadronox engaged before you feign.

Kommentar von Agonizedtank

solo with np as a blood dk tank pve gear 375
run downstairs and nuke him with army of dead / rise dead
i think u can AOE if you want, i single target it

Kommentar von 918562

Ok as some people might want to quickly solo this, it's of course very easy now, all you have to do is go straight down at the boss and nuke it, especially if you're lvl 85-90 it will be just that easy.

Kommentar von juliaz

Nuke it.

Kommentar von soupsong

Just go in and one shot him. No special considerations as of The War Within. EZ Achieve.
Godspeed, oldie achievement hunter!
