alright this is one of the hardest achievement so far in the raid

so basically there are 6 artifacts around the entire fight i got all of their locations there will be one when the boss moves to the second room and when you reach there, you will find a hidden on in the back of the room and the last 4 when you are walking to the last room

you need the 6 players to gather up next to the pillar? idk what i want to call the glowing thing there and be close to it or anyone of them i didn't try the others but you will spawn 6 adds you have to kill them ASAP and use BL here because these adds heal the boss so much to the point if you are slow you might see something like, you reached the last room with 30%? you might see the boss 45%-60% so you need to be fast here

To get the achievement, you need to have six people each pick up one of the strange artifacts around the boss encounter, and then kill the adds that spawn in the last room.

Every person who grabs an artifact must make it to the final room alive or the adds will not spawn.

Six artifact locations:
1. On the path from the first room to the second room, on the right side. It's in-between two of the hexagonal pillars near the ledge.
2. Inside the second room, behind a statue on the northwest side of the room.
3. On the path from the second room to the third room, on the left side of the bridge. This one is closer to the door and is below the ledge.
4. On the path from the second room to the third room, on the right side in the corner after the bridge.
5. On the path from the second room to the third room, after the corner on the left side. This one is below the ledge and can be hard to see.
6. On the path from the second room to the third room, after the corner on the right side. It's right behind the little alcove in the map.

After getting all six artifacts and making it to the last room, six adds will spawn once the door closes. They all chain cast a spell that does damage and heals the boss. Use lust/hero here to try and burn them down quickly. Then kill the boss as normal.

Halondrus - Shimmering Secrets
- Pick up and bring 6 Strange Artifact to the final room. Each artifact spawns an add, kill them and defeat the boss.

- Assigning players to the artifacts is recommended. Mobile classes are great. Ability to deal with knockbacks is a huge bonus.

There are 6 Strange Artifact you need to collect during this fight.

The locations are:
On the bridge from the first to second room on the right near the end.
In the second room on the left (as you enter) at the edge.
On the bridge from the second to third room on the left near the start
On the bridge from the second to third room on the right near the start.
On the bridge from the second to third room on the left near the end
On the bridge from the second to third room on the right near the end.

Players who have collected a Strange Artifact cannot die. Once you make it to room three, the 6 Strange Construct will appear. You will need to defeat all six, then you can defeat the boss.

(Side note: if you are doing Anduin's achievement later, you need to send a stealthy over to the raised hexagon platform directly opposite the boss room have them click on the Haunting Memory behind the trash. It looks like a small glowing golden orb and is located about halfway down against the wall on the left. There are three of them you need to collect and this is one of them).

I've added a screenshot where I numbered the positions of the artifacts 1-6 in their proper placements on the path. That should be approved in a few hours hopefully.
First Bridge:
Number 1 is out the first door once it crumbles, look to the right near the end of the bridge.
Second Room:
Number 2 is in the room you stop in to fight the boss again. Go to the left and it's hiding behind part of the wall.
Second Bridge:
Number 3 is on the way to the third room, to the left side near the door you just came out of.
Number 4 is on the way to the third room, to the right side near the door you just came out of.
Number 5 is on the way to the third room, closer to the entrance of the third room on the left side.
Number 6 is on the way to the third room, closer to the entrance of the third room, on the right side and is hiding behind part of the wall and near an edge (behind the shatter orb).
Third Room:
Like others have said, once you have them all and are in the third room, the door will close and the adds will spawn shortly after.
I would blood lust here and you want to burn them very quickly and have lots of aoe because they cast and heal the boss up.
Good Luck and have fun!

We had an artifact holder die just outside the final wall but all six adds still spawned.

Comment by Clypse

Just to be clear, you can't solo it at the present moment.
This is because you can't pick more than one artifact per toon.
Maybe it will change in later xpacs.
