For this achievement you will have to make groups of 2 people to do the Power Matrix. As of Patch 8.2 characters are geared so there is no need to empower the Reorigination Drive more than once.

After you run the Power Matrix three times, the Reorigination Blast is unleashed. After the blast ends, G'huun will lose the Blood Shield and you can nuke him from 100 to 0 very easily.(##RESPBREAK##)396##DELIM##Nightswifty##DELIM##

If your group is high enough ilvl, you do NOT have to run the 2nd set of orbs. This reduces the chance of mistakes made and having to wipe and reset. Just run the first set, get Ghuun out of the wall, and if your achievement tracking is still white, go to town on Ghuun. You will need to kill the blood feast adds but other than that it's plain and simple zerg at that point. My group did this tonight with an average ilvl of 376. (This is on Normal of course.)

Comment by DrHeckyll

Our group focused hard working the achievement mechanism whereby 2xteams (1 team for each side) of 2 orb carriers leap froged each other to pass the orb to each other and take turns dunking the orb. The orb teams took their time and communicated well so not to drop the orb and get max throwing distance for each orb pass. No lock portals could be used so it was slow going.

The result is P1 is extended with 4 Dark Young’s that must be killed (dps and healers can make full use of dark bargain buff many times). With a geared group you should be able to easily keep on top of tenticle spawns. By the time the 5th Dark Young spawns the beem should be dropped to finish it off. At this point ALL the achievement conditions are met so rather then risk an error we didn’t bother with the second beem. Just clear stacks and delete the chittering horror add as it spawns! (You can hero on the G’huun spawn since you are not waiting on a beem).

NB: average iLvL of the group was 376.3

Hey. Just got my Achievement today.

Mages Blink does NOT make it fail.
Monks transcendence DOES make it FAIL.

Haven't check Void elves Spatial Rift .

Killed it with 2 tanks, 3 healers, 10 dps in normal difficulty. Our ilvl was 365-380. We were sending orb groups in pairs.

If you are having decent ilvl and doing it in normal you are able to run orbs only in phase 1 and do not touch them in phase 2, just kill the boss. And you will get your achi.

Good luck and have fun!

If you're like me and you come here and read the comments wondering why you can't bring bigger teams to do this faster, the orb has a five second cooldown before you can throw it once you catch it. You honestly can have two people run each orb without losing any time as long as one of them is a healer. This is one of those achievements that sounds cool in theory (I had all sorts of ideas about races on each side), but the reality is you spend a lot of time twiddling your thumbs waiting for the CD to come up. Pretty sure not doing the second set of orbs was actually a time save for us, instead of making things simpler like I suspect that strat is supposed to be.

Comment by Nagratz

We just did this with 3 groups of 2 just to get G'huun out of the wall. You just have one person get the orb, throw it max distance to their team member and then moves forward to catch, and so on until you can dunk it.

Things we learned:

1. Voice is essential for the teams to know if they're standing in the right spot to catch.
2. Once thrown, the catcher cannot move while the orb is in the air on the way so you have to be properly positioned ahead of time before the throw. (see #1 above)

We dedicated one healer to go with each team while 2 healers stayed down below to heal the raid.

It's a slog to get G'huun from 90% all the way dead without a 2nd orb run but it wasn't too bad. We were mostly 370ish ilevel.

Comment by Genuyne

Warlock gates WILL fail this.

Comment by Aresk

For those who use DBM (or similar mods), you can type "/range 18" into chat to get a range indicator; as long as you are within that range, the person holding the orb can throw it to you. This made it much easier to coordinate in the PUG I completed this in, as the group wasn't using voice chat.

Comment by zirquel

Soulshape and Door of Shadows also causes it to fail.

Comment by Talfen

If you have a group of around 10 that is fairly well geared (Heroic VoI or so) you can burn G'huun in his tree form and ignore the first phase mechanics entirely. He heals 5% every .5 seconds, but you can burn through it. He will glitch out at about 50%, do the phase transition, then turn back into tree form. Continue to burn, turn away for fear, and kill him for the achieve. My guild just used this method and it worked like a charm, no throwing balls required.

Comment by Torthie

Currently soloable as a mage with some decent gear. Pick up the orb and only ever move with shimmer (does not count as moving for the achievement) Can use the alter time talent + shifting power to get shimmer charges back quicker. Dunk orb wait for 2 minute debuff (you can clean up adds during this time) then go to the other side and repeat until you have done 3 times boss will come out and you simply pop everything and burn him.

Something to note the Dark Young add has a knockback sometimes it hits sometimes it doesn't as you are out leveled but if it hits you you will fail the achievement so make sure to kill these fast ideally before they reach you (a good on use trinket is helpful for this)

Comment by Clypse

Using Vedrian comment, I was able to solo this as a 477 BM Hunter.
I had to use all CD with BL to be able to bypass the 5% HP regen.

The second phase is trickier because of the fear.
I first had to AFK for 10 min to have BL again (otherwise my DPS wasn't enough to overcome regen).
Then, I waited just after the fear cast to pop all CD (he casts it when the purple energy bar is full).
Had to turn around once when he was around 20% HP.

Not easy, but got it on first try.
Should be even easier next xpac if you love a simple burst strat like me.

Comment by Darkdefender

So I'm not sure how accurate this is, but currently using Alter Time after you grab the orb marks the achievement as failed(had it tracked and it went red as I used it to shorten my run time) so definitely DO NOT use it at the start of the orb run but at the end after you've deposited the orb already.

Comment by Deanscream

Just confirmed, the Weyrnstone from the Evoker's Weyrnstone CANNOT be used to move the orb, it will break the orb.

Comment by Dianora

While doable as a mage with shimmer, it's much easier with someone on the base to clear out the trash so they cannot move you.

Comment by dreknathal1

Solo'd this in DF as a DH. (500 Ilvl)

Soulscar was absolutely necessary to burst him down, the S3/4 tier bonus also helps.

Throw glaive to start, then pop all your CDs and burst him to 50%.

Let him cast Collapse.

Wait for your CDs and do it again. Make sure you keep Soulscar running and keep stacking damage up. He will die in the wall and the achivement will pop.

Comment by raven197

A group of 8 from my guild completed this by ignoring the orbs and just nuking down the boss. We had an average ilvl of 505 and that was enough to dps through the heal effect. It will heal itself to full a couple times due to it's phases, but just keep doing damage and you will get the achievement!

Comment by PyroAE

SOOOO I discovered something cool about this.
A very patient Mage can solo this by using blink to move, no walking at all, just blink/shimmer.

Just soloed as a Level 80 Fire Mage on Heroic

Comment by Codemaster92163

Now soloable as of The War Within.

You don't need to be a mage or anything fancy. Just get enough gear so that you can burst G'huun while he's still in the wall.

For reference, I'm an iLvl 590 feral druid, and I easily burned him on normal. I killed the adds just because I didn't want convoke to target something other than the boss, but yeah, it really only takes a few seconds to get this now with little to no fuss.
