Classic Glory of the Cataclysm Raider Boost

Here are the achievements comprising the Glory of the Cataclysm Raider meta-achievement, with some additional commentary.

The following achievements are earned simply by finishing a boss fight on Heroic difficulty:

• Blackwing Descent:
  • Heroic: Omnotron Defense System;
  • Heroic: Magmaw;
  • Heroic: Chimaeron;
  • Heroic: Atramedes;
  • Heroic: Maloriak;
  • Heroic: Nefarian;
• The Bastion of Twilight:
  • Heroic: Halfus Wyrmbreaker;
  • Heroic: Valiona and Theralion;
  • Heroic: Ascendant Council;
  • Heroic: Cho’gall;
• Throne of the Four Winds:
  • Heroic: Conclave of Wind;
  • Heroic: Al’Akir.

Next are conditional achievements that require specific strategies to earn them:

• Blackwing Descent:
  • Achieve-a-tron — during the Omnotron Defense System boss fight, players should evade the bosses’ specific attacks; if one of those lands on someone, the achievement will not pop;
  • Full of Sound and Fury — during the Chimaeron boss fight, no more than two raid members are allowed to die;
  • Parasite Evening — during the Magmaw boss fight, no one in the raid group should be affected by the Parasitic Infection;
  • Silence is Golden — during the Atramedes boss fight, given that the dragon is blind, your sound bar (representing the unique boss mechanic) is now allowed to exceed the 50% mark;
  • Aberrant Behavior — during the Maloriak boss fight, you have to kill 12 of his Aberration adds within 10 seconds and then successfully finish the fight with him;
  • Keeping it in the Family — during the Nefarian boss fight, you have to damage him for more than 50% of his HP before he lands at the final (third) phase, then finish him off;
• The Bastion of Twilight:
  • The Only Escape — during the Halfus Wyrmbreaker boss fight, you have to defeat the boss within 10 seconds of killing the two drakes present in this fight;
  • Double Dragon — during the Valiona and Theralion boss fight, your raid group has to kill 6 Twilight Fiend adds in the Twilight Realm segment of the fight;
  • Elementary — during the Elementium Monstrosity part of the Ascended Council boss fight, the boss must be allowed to create only one ice AoE patch on the ground with his Cryogenic Aura; do not let him move, as he forms new AoE areas when moving;
  • The Abyss Will Gaze Back Into You — during the Cho’gall boss fight, defeat him before any of your group members has their Corrupted Blood meter exceed the 30% mark;
• Throne of the Four Winds:
  • Stay Chill — during the Conclave of Wind boss fight, defeat the bosses when everyone in your raid group has 7 or more Wind Chill stacks on them;
  • Four Play — during the Al’Akir boss fight, kill him while he’s affected by the Feedback debuff (it stacks); to apply it, kill his Stormling adds to get a 20-second window when you can defeat him for the achievement.
    These achievements do not affect all the loot dropped by bosses, as raid gear rewards are only affected by the loot lists and the WoW RNG system.
