O Icoron toma pouco dano quando ele está inteiro, o segredo é esperar ele se dividir e matar os Glóbulo de Linfa o mais rápido possível sem deixar eles chegarem perto de onde o boss se dividiu, quando ele se reconstruir novamente ele vai estar com menos vida do que quando ele se dividiu, faça isso sucessivamente (ele se divide várias vezes) até que ele morra.

This is an semi easy archivement. You need to kill his "Ichor Globules" wich are also known as Adds, ASAP.
The adds will spawn all over the place. The best thing is to stay at the stairs near the Portal.

If they get killed all nearby Players will get thrown away. So its far more easier to have a full Ranged DPS grp.

The tank needs to stay at Icherons spawning point ( The place where you are able to hit him after spawn) and Taunt him as soon as possible.

Just before he splits, have someone click an activation crystal, which has about a 6s cast time. It will fill the room with lightning and kill all the globules. Achievement complete.

We tanked her in the middle of the room and everytime she split we clicked an activation crystal.

It worked for us, but keep an eye on her body at all times so that no globule sneaks past you.

As of December 6, 2008 there seems to be a bug that makes this fairly easy.

Ichoron happened to be our first boss. We managed to kill him, allowing only 1 add to merge - pitiful. Interestingly, I (tankadin), our priest healer and shaman all died - all 3 characters in our party who could rez. Of course, the instance wouldn't let us help our poor two rogues, so we had to wait for the waves to destroy the shield, and reset the whole instance.

On the second run, Ichoron again (as it should be), we did well - his bubble shattered, we killed the adds, but when it was time for him to come back to life, two Ichorons spawned - the one we were fighting now, and the one we had already killed.* The one from the last attempt had virtually no hit points and only protective bubble on, so the DPS killed him in only a few hits - and we got the achievement.

*I suspect this happened because of the mechanics of the encounter - the "coming back to life" spell probably resurrects any Ichorons in range, and we had both of them relatively close next to each other. So the spell brough both.

It is worth noting that if you fail the achievement, resetting the instance event for "another shot" at the boss does not work. Once he has died once, all of the following attempts the boss is replaced by a similar NPC named Swirling Water Revenant ; and EVEN IF you manage to keep all of the water globules away from him, the achievement will not be completed. This, I assume, is part of the same constituency that contributes to him not dropping loot each consecutive time.

It's actually pretty easy once you know exactly what you're doing. A few important points:

*Dps is more or less unimportant for this boss. Unless I'm mistaken until the last 'combined' phase (at which point he won't split again anyway) he has charges on his water shield which prevent almost all damage, and get reduced by 1 whenever he's attacked. At 0 charges he explodes and splits. Having one dpser stay off the boss and stand ready next to the switches will not make this fight more difficult.
*The switches have a ~6 sec cast time.
*The insta-kill aura seems to pulse 3 to 4 times, and takes a few secs after the end of the cast time to actually start pulsing. Whilst I wasn't the one using the switches, it certainly looked like using the switches very early (~8 charges left on shield) was very handy, as the final pulses of the aura came as the elementals started spawning - meaning they barely moved at all.
*The non-switch users job during the splits is to snare/stun the globules that get close to the body if they aren't killed immediately.
*Tank the boss in the centre of the lower area.

Just completed this before server shutdown tonight. We actually 4 manned it. We had one DPS still in PvP instance so we thought we would start VH without him. We got to the first boss (Ichoron) and basically we just pulled the switches for the 3 splits. Continued DPSing him down in between. Absolutely no problem at all. Needless to say the lock in PvP immediately called for a summon.

Also, the 5 of us have only just begun heroics and we are far from fully epicced out. We have a few epics between us but we are mostly made up of crafted items, regular instance drops and quest rewards. It just shows that you don't have to be geared to do this instance or the achievement, just have a good functioning group working together.

We unfortunately didn't get to finish the entire instance because we started it with 20 minutes to go before shutdown. We got the second boss down and then hearthed out.

Comentado por INvShika

slow down dps so the shield doesnt break before your crystal clicker has time to move and click

Comentado por Bobblybook

Easy achievement. Just a couple of points:

This is order of crystals I find easiest:

One to the left of the pool he spawns in (if you're standing at the entrance to VH). Use this first for convenience, especially if you're ranged dps.

Second to the right of the steps as you stand at the entrance to VH. Just down the stairs, to the right, on the wall. Use this second.

Third is in the left corner (standing at the entrance to VH) on the wall, between the entrance and the Ethereal boss. Use this third.

By knowing where the crystals are in advance, you can ran straight there as soon as you click the previous one, which means no matter how quick your group is on dpsing the boss, you will always be ready to click. As others have said, having 1 less dps to break his bubble makes little difference to your group, and as a shadow priest I thew on dots as I ran, and still had ample time to click.

Comentado por 243700

As long as the boss doesn't die, you can try again for the achievement. You just can't kill him. Once he is dead you get the Swirling Water Revnant instead, but if you think they came together, wipe and start over

Comentado por 243700

Oh, its also a lot easier now as the crystals click instantly, there is no "cast time"

Comentado por roguearthur

Why am i the only person that can't do this? I've done the boss 3 times now. we hit the crystal right when they spawn. kill them before they really can move, none "merge". I tank him in the middle while a range dps hits it.

Comentado por 213077

This is one of the last 3 achievements I need, I'm just curious before I run it and mess up. Where do the adds spawn from? Say if the boss was tanked in the center of the room, where would they spawn around him, how many adds are we talking, and how much time is there between them spawning and reaching the boss. I just ask because of how random this boss is to spawn, and I want to get it right.

If I were to leave a tree druid at the top of the stairs, and have him hit the switch a second or two after the adds spawn, will that do it? Do they only spawn once? I know it's a couple questions, but it's a few I don't believe were covered above.

Comentado por 247829

Does a different person have to click the crystals each time or can it be done with one person?

Sorry to ask but where is the crystals? Can't seem to find them. :S

Comentado por Chorolass

Just attempted using the crystals. Did not work. Going to try again in future. They may have taken out the ability to get this achievement witht he crystals in 3.1. Will keep you all updated.

Comentado por LurkerPatrol

Added a screenshot to help those who are having trouble finding what items to click for this achievement.

Obviously it will take some time to get approved, and I hope they do approve of it.

Basically they are little red crystals on golden holders and they are spread all across the walls of the instance. Look especially near the holding/stasis pens for the bosses.

As you come inside the instance, make sure you take a good and long look at the female NPC standing at the very entrance. To her left (your right) will be this very sort of crystal. Once you start the instance by talking to her, she will activate it and bolts of lightning will pretty much kill everything (as you've probably seen). This same effect is achieved when you press any of the other crystals strewn about.

I just recently got the achievement and it took no time at all. The crystals activate instantly so, it should go quickly and smoothly.

Comentado por throatslit

Just a quick note also...

The crystals seem to be only be able to be used once. So through the fight, you will click all of the 3 crystals around the room once each; one new crystal each split.

This is one of 2 achievements I have left for the Red-Proto.

Fluffed it the first time as I tried clicking the crystal I had successfully clicked previously - no zappy zappy, no achievement. Stuffed it again this morning, as through lack of communication someone else clicked a crystal, and so no third crystal was available for the third split.

Good luck everyone.

Due the the nature of H VH, players become saved as the first boss is revealed, rather than after he is downed. This is to prevent people from avoiding the harder bosses. However, if the random number generator has been unkind to you and you have been having trouble attempting this achievement, this mechanic can be used to your advantage.

You can either run another character, or have one of your helpful friends, run this dungeon. If Ichoron comes, simply wipe it and find something else to do. Now, all group members are saved to an H VH where Ichoron will be guaranteed to come. Later, form a group with one of the original members, and a bunch of people who don't have the achievement.

It is best to bring guildies who are generally more willing to help you out, but you can also find puggers who are willing to take the wipe if you toss them some gold to cover repairs and time (I paid 100g to a couple of them). Just don't try to run this if its the daily.

WIth the 3.2 lockout extensions, you can actually keep the saved instance more than 1 day if your unlucky friend is not available for a few days.

Is it just me or does ichoron not spawn alot?
This is my last achievement for Glory and i'm sacrificing my exams to get this done but the daily grind of the same bosses without Ichoron is quickly becoming annoying..

Comentado por 493233

He used to spawn pretty often before. Now he's one of the rarest spawns in the boss cycle inside Violet Hold. Even with the random heroic option, having this run 3-4 times per day proves to be a pain.

It's also one of the 5 last achievements I need for the Red Proto-Drake and I already have the strange feeling it's going to last until it's the last one in there. Annoying, isn't it ?

Comentado por 500891

I failed the first time because i went to the wrong crystal. Two of the crystals are located on the left and right side of the entrance, mounted on the walls, closer to the portal spawns. The third is located on the wall where Ichoron spawns from the water.

The crystal located at the entrance door should not be used when attempting to complete this achieve. It won't activate.

Comentado por 357015

I've not seen anyone else say it, so I'll just put it here.

There are actually 5 crystals in the instance, the one at the entrance can NOT be used.

The first 3 are on the lower floor, one left, one right and the middle one left to Ichoron's cell.
The remaining 2 are on the higher floor, 1 left of the Voidwalker boss, and the other one to the left of Moragg's cell. Can be handy if someone accidentally uses a crystal when they shouldn't have.

I achieved this through solo tactics with my hunter in full heroic gear. It's sadly a huge RnG about whether or not he will appear. For those of you are soloing the instance for the achievement, here are some tips so you are more prepared for the battle of Heroic Violet Hold.

If you are fighting Erekem, you need to remember that killing his adds will give him a DPS buff. The best thing you can do is just single target kill Erekem with burst DPS. From a hunter's perspective, just send your pet in and let him have fun while you keep aggro on your pet.

If you are fighting, Xevozz YOU MUST KITE HIM! You cannot stand there and let the balls hit him. I know in 80, we all just kited to avoid the AOE of the balls, but I didn't realize until 85 that they give him a percentage increase on damage. He was hitting my pet for over 40k with both of his orbs touching him. So just kite him around the dungeon to avoid that accident.

The other three bosses are all tank and spank, nothing too serious.

With Ichoron you need to be careful about this achievement. There is no burst DPS for this guy, so don't waste your cooldowns trying to get him down faster. Instead, just take your time and blow your fastest shots so you can get in and get out. Each time he is up and walking he has 32, or 36, charges on his protective bubble. Once those shots are done, he will explode and shoot you (if you are close to him) a good distance whichever way your back is turned. To counteract this, make sure your back is turned to an active crystal on the wall at all times. There are three of these crystals. Two against the wall on the main floor next the entrance (This is the lowest floor, the one you are fighting the boss on), and then one near the water area where the boss comes out at.) Immediately after his bubble bursts, hit a crystal. Ichor spawns will begin to appear. You MUST watch the ones spawning closest to the boss. If they come to him, even when he is down, you will lose the achievement credit. It will take three seconds for the beams to shoot out and kill all of the Ichor spawns.

You will follow this tactic 3 times before it will be just the boss that you need to dps without his bubble. Please note: The Ichor spawns will not appear while the boss is up. Once the crystal has been activated, you will have no worries until the next time the bubble breaks. After the boss is down and achievement complete, either finish the dungeon or strip your clothes and go die. It's the fastest way out.

Good luck!

I have tried this twice in the last couple days, hit the lever after she splits. No achievement. I opened a ticket after the first time, I got some generic response that if I died and released I wouldn't get the achievement. Duh. Anyway, this is my last one until I get Glory of the Hero. This is getting a bit upsetting....

Comentado por Talendrel

Let me be the first to say: I HATE THIS ACHIEVEMENT! ()I have spend a total of 24 runs in 24 days pulling Ichoris 4 times in that period of time. All 4 times I have done this fight 100% perfectly I hit the switches exactly as he bursts. I hit all 3 different switches. (even though there are in fact 2 more up top) I even did all of this with all 4 other guildies popping aoe's left and right! These are not lvl 65 guildies either, we are ALL 85's (I myself am geared @ 363) so believe me they are not fail aoe's. We did all this in addition to hitting the switches (crystals) the second he bursts! (and we've done it 4 TIMES!) And yet...NO ACHIEVEMENT! Since this is a random spawn and it is, in fact the last achv. nessesary for for my main Talendrel, I can truthfully say this is jacked! I of corse opened a ticket the 1st time this happended only to have it cancelled after 8 days! The 2nd ticket only took a mere 5 day (drenched in sarcasm) and when I got the GM (after actually calling WoW) they said "We have tested it, it works fine..bye!" So you see my friend, tis obvious why it is that I HATE THIS ACHIEVEMENT! So in clonclusion after 23 days and 4 Ichoron attemps @ And so, it is with no amount of uncertainty when I say, the GM I spoke to is an all out Idiot, and this Achievement IS, in fact, GLITCHED! I dont know about you guys, but I don't spend my money on this "game" so it can stress me to the point of pulling my own hair out! I pay my money for this game to *pauses for dramatic effect* idk...HAVE FUN! Thank you for listening to my crazy person rant. It is only as such due to my lack of completion on this Hell's spawned Achievement! (And yes I have read every single entry in here, and every single youtube video on At this point I care not for a silly mount. Only that I keep my sanity.

Soloed this as a Feral Bear.

I would drag Ichoron close to a Crystal. Watch his Protective Bubble stack. When it got down to ~3 I would activate the Crystal and then go back to melee. He would split. The Globules would spawn and would essentially be mowed down. Repeat 3 times.

The only issue I had was that a portal opened while I was still on the Ichoron encounter, so I was dealing with them an Ichoron at the same time. Not a problem though.

Comentado por 753585

2 manned this achievement with me (shadowpriest) and a fury warrior. was really easy by using the crystals the warrior tanked the boss in the water and I used the crystals all 3 times. warrior only needed a few heals but nothing serious. After the third crystal we downed the boss and we got the achievement as well as the Glory of the Hero (since this was our last)

Comentado por kerrymayall

For those of you attempting to solo this achievement but experiencing frustration with it, I can offer the following advice:

* Refrain from fighting the boss near the switches. Others have been successful doing this, but even if you time it so well that the adds do not even appear there is a chance one will have actually spawned right beside the boss in the microseconds before it got zapped.

* The easiest solution I found was to fight him just outside the entrance to the water and aim your back towards one of the switches. This way when his shield bursts you get knocked back to the general vicinity of the switch, and because you fought him near the water, where no adds spawn, you will have plenty of time to activate the switch.

* Figure out where the 3 ground floor switches are (one is right next to the water pool), and remember if you stuff it up just wipe it because the instance will reset and you can start again from scratch.

That's all.

Comentado por Morotak

Solo'ed as a frost mage, Korasu on server Zul'jin

First know where your switches are. One by the water, one by Lavanthor on the wall of the raised platform and one to left of the entrance (facing into VH).

For those unfamiliar to the fight itself, Ichoron spawns with a shield that has a set number of charges, either 36 or 32. Those shield charges dissapear when an attack lands on him from any source (except DoTs, though not sure), so your water elemental and mirror image attacks do register as hits that lower his shield. As soon as his shield charges are zero he vanishes and summons the globules. He does this 3 times.

You'll want to "tank" him (?) the entire time just at water's edge.

For the first switch, stand your back to the switch near the water and keep your shields up and interrupt and watch his stacks go down as you attack.

For the second switch, you might want to evocate here while he is recouping, then burn him. At around 10 stacks on his bubble left let go of your frostfire orb and turn around at 3 stacks, blink at 1. The blink should take you straight to the switch by Lavanthor.

For the third, tank again in the same spot. Use your mage spell reset cooldown and let lose with another frostfire orb and a set of mirror images. at around 6,7 stacks left, blink away and get to the last switch asap and let lose when he loses his stacks.

If executed properly, should get your achievement.

Good luck!

The easiest way for me, as an enhancement shaman, was to tank him near the switches, then down the shields until 4 or 5, and use flame shock, when he was with the last shield, I pressed the switch, flame shock work to down the last shield.

It worked cause the globules spawn instantly when the shield is over and the security measure take a while to start and stay up a couple seconds.

i tried a few of thetactics listed here to solo this,but what worked for me was to tank the boss near one of the switches, and watch what shields on the boss when it gets to 5 hit the switch, nuke boss and the adds will die right as they spawn. Repeat this another 2 times and you should get it.

5.0.4 - Easiest way to do this achv is to tank/dps him by the waters edge and have someone else click on the crystal with 2-3 charges left on his shield. It worked like a charm! Sometimes you will get LUCKY and they will get owned so fast they wont actually spawn. Good Luck!

Did it solo on pre-Mop fire mage lvl390ish GS. No group needed.
Took a few tries because of a timer misunderstanding.
Stay by the switch (start with 3 on the main floor and keep in mind the other two just in case). He gonna push you toward the wall but the switch should be reachable, keep the right distance. Dont get crazy on DPS. Watch his shield. When it gets to zero be ready for heavy push back and then quick click of the switch. Dont use switch when the shield is on. Looks like that suggestion is out dated.
Seems like the archievement is not bugged. Just need to be quick. Gl. Definetly solo-able at 85. Took 3 switches for me.

After killing "her" way too many times today and not getting the achievement: I think it's pretty safe to say that you really only get one try to do it even if it's possible to kill Ichoron as many times as you want.

And yes, for my final attempt of the day, I did have the boss in the water and used the levers right before the shied burst. There was no way one of the elementals made it to Ichoron.

I just hope it won't be too long till the RNG lets me fight it so I can try again.

This is trivial to solo as a level 90 Windwalker monk. I stood near the water's edge as suggested, and hit the switch right as the shield got to 4 stacks. Waited for what seemed like forever for him to reappear, and then I was able to finish him off immediately with Touch of Death. I only have about 300k health -- if I had better gear from heroics/raids I'd probably be able to Touch of Death him before his shield even goes off.

For anyone attempting this at level 100, your damage is so high that if you have heavy hitting abilities (like an arcane mage) you can kill him before his shield breaks even once, automatically getting you this achievement. Easy peasy.

I guess I am the only one that is not getting this achievement ;_;

I do this EVERY day on all of my toons that are 90 - 100. NO globules EVER get anywhere near since I do the crystal trick. I also always run in Heroic.

However, I notice that after his shield breaks once that during the 2nd time trying to break the shield suddenly he has the "mind control" looking buff/debuff on him and the next attack "one shots" him. Even killing him during the 2nd phase, shield only breaking once and NO globules ever getting anywhere close, I keep being denied the achievement.

Anyone out there have similar issues or a cheat/trick that I am not doing? Just seems odd that even though NO globules get anywhere near (I have noticed its easier using the crystals now) I am STILL denied my achievement.

Thanks in advance :)

The most helpful comment of all the ones below, for me, was to watch his shields decrease and to hit the button when he has one shield left. As a lvl 100 Ret Pally, I took off most of my gear and then wound up not hitting him at all (afraid I would accidentally kill him again). Once you hit the button, when he comes back his health will be greatly reduced anyway. The hardest part of this achievement is the RNG.

Hi guys, first wowhead comment here, because I think it's worth noticing it ;)

I was struggling to get this achievement since a very long time, failing, trying again months later, failing again...
So today I was motivated and tried again, with all my alts, not an Ichoron in sight, until it came to my monk turn. He runs toward me, I'm standing strong against a cristal, thinking "this is it, my time to shine..."
... Touch of Death, one-shot, no globules, achievement pop.

Not sure if it's a bug or not, but yeah, monks can one shot him and win the achievement. At least mine could. :)

Voilà, I hope it'll help some people !

Just DPS Ichoron once he leaves his cell. You can one-shot him, without worrying about any mechanics and such.

Comentado por swotam

Just a tip for those who might be getting tired of running The Violet Hold trying to get Ichoron to spawn, and getting other bosses instead. Once you clear the first 6 portals you'll get the first boss. If it's not Ichoron just logout and wait a few minutes. When you login you can run out, reset the instance, and try again. As long as you don't kill the first boss you can repeatedly reset the instance until you get Ichoron as the first boss.

Once he spawns just fight him near one of the switches to activate the defence system, and when you see the message about his shield breaking just click the switch and it will kill the spawns. Drag him over to another switch and repeat as required.

If you think you messed it up, try to drop aggro and logout or just close the WOW app and when you login again you'll be able to run the instance from the beginning and try on him again. As long as you don't reset the instance, you'll get the same bosses each time.

It's an annoying achievement to get and using the switches to kill the spawns definitely helps. Resetting the instance is a fast(er) way to get him to spawn as opposed to running it on Heroic once a day and hoping to get him.

Finally got this done tonight, if I ever set foot inside The Violet Hold again it will be too soon...

There is a shortcut for this if you dont wanna wait for the lock to reset each day ..... take care of the 1st 6 portals watch for the npc to open 1 of the cages ... if it does not go to Ichoron 1st hearth out quickly or port to Dalaran if your a mage and do not attack the 1st boss, reset all instances and try again you can do this unlimited times and not have to worry about the daily lock. If you kill the 1st boss and its not the correct 1 the lock will engage and ull have to wait.
