Judging by the criteria : "defeat the two dragons in a flamboyant manner" , i'm guessing it's a placeholder.

Commento di narnith

Probably have to kill them with everyone wearing nothing but this.

Commento di Velrras

From a dialogue of level 85 raid Nefarian, it seems that he comes back has an undead dragon and he says he brings a guest, said guest being his sister Onyxia, which will probably be undead too. Seems you'll have to defeat both at the same time.

I hope Onyxia still gives epic head.

Commento di 312553

Defeating in a flamboyant manner: using a raid made completely of Blood Elves.

Shouldn't be too hard to get a group for this.

Commento di SirRaven

This could be much like Thorim's hard mode encounter, forcing his wife to enter the encounter.

Commento di Laira2814

Seems very much like Neck-Deep in Vile, where a ranged heavy raid composition is absolutely required to obtain this achievement. Sorry melee . . .

Commento di greydust

We tried this achievement today, and successfully brought Nefarian below 50% before he landed.
However, the achievement tracking remained red and we didn't get the achievement after we defeat Nefarian.

What we've done/not done in this try:
a. We did brought him under 50% before he landed but he release electrocute the moment he landed.
b. When lava started going down, Nefarian is at approximately 52%.

Do we have to brought him below 50% before lava starting fade away? Or this achievement is simply bugged?

Edit:
For those of you who never saw the 'original text' that was on this page, it said:
Defeat the two dragons in a flamboyant manner.

NOT what it says now.
So those commenting in response to the original text are definitely not crazy.../end edit

Well, the definition/s of flamboyant:
1. strikingly bold or brilliant; showy: flamboyant colors.
2. conspicuously dashing and colorful

SO...perhaps everyone should dress up in their seasonal event attire of choice and have at the pair?
Imagine a raid full of gnome Santas and Mrs. Santas all sporting pumpkin heads!
The healers could shoot off the occasional firework in between heals! lol

Commento di Namnalia

In order to get this achievement, you have to bring Nefarian to sub-50% (meaning you will get full five crackles) before phase three starts.

Probably the only way to do this currently is getting three crackles in phase one. This is achieved by triggering the third crackle (bring Nef below 70%) and kill Onyxia before it actually hits (if you don't do this, she will overload and simply kill your raid). The time window for this is roughly 5 seconds and afterwards you will have to heal up your raid before everybody swims to his platform. (We actually had to do this at our firstkill as we were not able to keep people up during crackle in P2).
In P2, you simply assign your range DPS to Nefarian straight away, the raid does NOT take any more damage whether the adds are alive or not. The only thing necessary is to beat the adds and the next 20% of Nefarian within the two minutes this phase overs - As Nef hast 28.5m HP in 10-man/ 98M in 25-man, that takes very strong DPS on him (roughly 47k / 163k by ranged dds only). Probably achievable with decent debuffs and heroism in P2. On the plus side, phase three will be a walk in the park as Nef is already below 50%. Have fun!

EDIT: Mind that you can only damage Nefarian for 15% of his HP in P2 (did not know that when writing the above) so while it is true that you must get 3 crackles in P1, you also have to bring Nefarian to <65% before he starts P2, meaning Heroism right before he hits 70% is highly recommended.

Commento di Ashvael

Kill 2 adds in P2 and then have everyone swim through the lava onto the one platform where the add is still alive. This will make the healing far easier (especially due to spells like Pioggia Curativa, , and ) and more stable, as well as the use of cooldowns like Parola del Potere: Barriera better.
If you struggle with swimming through the lava, consider using your holy priest/resto druid for at least one of the platforms to heal through the damage directly while swimming via HoTs, Preghiera di Guarigione and the like.

Then it's simply a matter of DPS/Healer mana which shouldn't be a problem at all if you're in decent raid gear.

Commento di Rammurg

We've tried this achievement for 3 or 4 weeks with no success. Each time we took 3 Cracles in phase one, and 2 in phase two.

On the first we simply made sure Nefarian is below 50% when he touches the ground - no achievement.
2nd week, we managed to get a few more %'s off him before he touched the ground - no achievement.
3rd week, in addition to DPSing Nefarian below 50% we left one add alive and killed it after Nefarian had landed - still no achievement.
And finally this week we left all 3 adds alive to be killed after Nefarian had landed - still no luck.

According to GuildOx, 3 guilds have done this achievement so far. Anyone happen to know what we're doing wrong ? Clearly it's not working the way the description states, at least.

Commento di 324199

This achievement is working as intended, but to get it you need to do the following. Using heroism/bloodlust is optional, but helps.

1. You will need three crackles in p1, use heroism bit before you get the third.
2. Right before the crackle hits for the third time, kill Onyxia.
3. You must dps Nefarian to below 65% while he's walking to the middle.
4. You can only dps Nefarian down by 15% during the p2. If you reach those 15% the landing begins. This is why he must be below 65% when p2 begins.
5. Have the adds finished off fast once you have burned Nefarian below 50%.
6. Kill Nefarian.

Commento di Ritavu

I can confirm that as of patch 4.1, although the achievement tracker had turned red ("failed") during the fight, by following Keoren's steps, my raid was able to complete the achievement.

I can imagine this misleading bug has discouraged many raids who were attempting this feat.

Commento di Mihir

The achievement started out as red for us, but once he landed at 49%, it turned white.

Commento di 612611

We did it on 10man today after a couple wipes.
We blown Heroism at 75%
We did killed onyxia when Nefarian was on 69% ( had 1 range manage to get him down at the right time )
This way we got Nefarian at 62% before he went up, had to slow down dps to not get an electrocute in transision

This achievement is working and is trackable. It will turn red in the fight but will turn back to white once you reached him below 50% and you didnt fail.

Commento di Erethzium

Quite easy after the 4.2 nerfs to normal modes.

Nuked ony down to ~10% and then nuked Nef, it was nuts, with the DPS in mostly 372 gear, we were getting crackles every 10-15 seconds! Pushed 3 crackles in P1 then killed Ony, pushed 2 more crackles in P2 then killed it normally from there.

With the nerfs, Crackle doesn't really hit very hard, maybe 60k at most, and both bosses have severely reduced HP so they go down fast.

Commento di wowgeek123

Cata 4.3.2, completed this achievement in two weeks. The first week we spent wiping and getting used to it. It's a good idea not to PuG this because many PuGed people don't even know Nefarian without any twists. We found this out.

The achievement's wording makes it seem pretty simplistic, but in reality it's really not what it appears to be. One complication is that Nefarian can only be damaged a maximum of 15% in phase 2, so you will need to burn him down to 65% or lower in phase one. ****Phase one ends when Onyxia dies, not when Nefarian walks into the middle and takes off. ***** Which means that your DPS have to be really good in order for that last crackle to not cause Onyxia to blow up.

Our raid group stopped DPS completely on Onyxia at 30%, with me (warlock) and the DK tank getting her health down little by little as the raid nuked Nefarian.
DPS tends to be ahead of the crackle, which takes a little bit of time before it goes out. So Nefarian was at 67% when it went off.

Each crackle causes Onyxia's bar to increase by a TON. If your DPS is bad, the third crackle will cause her to explode, which causes a DPS requirement of about 20k for each of your 5 DPS.

On our successful attempt, we got Nefarian down to 63% when we took out the last 2% of Ony's health.

Make sure that pillars are assigned and that the interupters are on the ball. Wiping in P2 after downing P1 correctly is bad.

Have two of the pillars kill their adds immediately, and have a third pillar get the add down to about 20%. After an add dies on your pillar, all DPS should be on Nef.

Do not end Phase 2 by killing the third add, let phase 2 end by taking nef down another 15%. Not doing so is a loss of percentage points on his health. As soon as phase two ends (the lava starts to recede) kill the third add. Then have everyone jump down, blow Lust/Warp, and kill Nef.

Phase three is the same, except that is quite a bit shorter than usual. We actually ended up wiping in Phase 3 once after doing Phase 1 and 2 right. That was a really big bummer.

Paladin healers make good interupters, as so Shaman healers. Healing in phase 2 should not be rough, and the crackles aren't that bad. But missing an interupt for even 1 tick is a wipe, so make sure you don't miss one.

It's a good idea to have your two tanks interupters on their designated pillars, because their DPS output is low, and most can't touch Nef at all. Plus each tanking class has a 10 second CD interupt, which is perfect for the adds.

Hope this helps, completed in 10 man.

* Also, we completed this achievement without any melee DPS. They are bad for this achievement and bad for Nef in general.

Commento di Emsarrev

This is very easy to do nowadays following the strategy Keoren posted up here. If you have some dps that are level 90 and somewhat geared you can easily dps nefarian to 65% and then kill Onyxia before she explodes.

Commento di Vertixio

I did it week ago with 3 ppl: guardian druid (me) retribution paladin (brother)and mage (friend).We tried it another way. We tried to burst nefarian. Near 20% paladin popped bubble,and onyxia killed me and mage near 5% of nefarian. Dots finished him.

I think it will work with dispersion/ice block/etc. to survive onyxia boom

Commento di 798034

killed this with a 2man team. ret pally and my lock. we burned nef down to 30% in p1 and ignored onyxia. killed her and nef took off. burned nef while he was flying didnt even bother with killing the adds. and we got the achieve.

Commento di neopatra

OK, Forget the strategies of old times...

TL;DR:
Ignore adds the whole time. nuke nefarian to less than 60%, then nuke onixya and kill her. nefarian will fly and nuke him till he dead. get achiev.

These days you do it like this:
get down to boss and do nothing. wait till Nefarian will get down.
nuke Nefarian to less than 60% (could be any number between 60% to 30%, dosn't matter).
now nuke onyxia and kill her. nefarian will fly up when onyxia dead.
nuke Nefarian and kill him - get the achieve. (nefarian will get back to ground once you damaged him 15% of his health).

*done that with 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 dps (one of them flex soo geared, the other lower than that).

*you can ignore adds the whole fight.

*at phase 3 when you nuke nefarian do death, lava will also come. make sure to stand with your healer on one of the platform so you won't die in the lava and out of line of sight of the healer. when you standing on it, nefarian should be already less than 50%. you can also kill now the add on your platform if you short on healing.

*as always - if you not tank, don't stand in front of dragon bosses.

*achievement tracker dosn't work here and only when nefarian dead too you know that you succeeded.

Commento di bluudbath

Easily soloable now.

Commento di 1386771

Attempted this twice today.

First attempt, I was with a group. We simply waited for Nefarion to come down, burned him down, and Onyxia died from cleave damage - No achievement. I assume it is because we did not reach the final phase.

Second attempt, I solo'd this on a ~535 Destruction Warlock. Very very easy to kill. I got Nefarion down to ~60% and killed Onyxia, sending it to phase 2. During P2, I simply stood on one of the pillars, ignored the adds, and burned Nefarion down to about 20-30%; thus sending him into P3. Upon killing him, I once again did not receive the achievement. I have no idea why this strategy did not work, but be warned.

Any suggestions?

Commento di ralphie

You can't just zerg it. I killed Nef while he was still on the ground and didn't get achieve.

Commento di Larcin

Did this on 10N with a Prot War & Mage (Mage had to take the legendary cloak off to avoid doing too much damage - 1x Arcane Blast took off 10% of Nef's HP).

If you don't have a healer, use personal defensive/healing CDs during P2 (pillars). We ignored all the Animated Bone Warriors, and didn't need to use Bloodlust.

Phase 1:

Start the encounter but don't kill Onyxia - wait for Nefarian to land
DPS Nefarian to ~60-70% HP (i.e. 3-4x "crackles", aka Electrocute)
Kill Onyxia

Phase 2:

Jump on the pillars and interrupt the Chromatic Prototypes
DPS Nefarian to ~45-49% HP
Kill the 3x Chromatic Prototypes on the pillars

Phase 3:

Wait for Nefarian to land (Since 6.0.3 killing Nefarian before he lands has still awarded achievement for some)
Kill Nefarian

Commento di nyctric

It seems some people are being granted this achievement and others aren't.
I have tracked this achievement and it was flagged as complete (with the golden tick saying I've done it) but I was not granted.
It is a bit annoying cause this is the final achievement I need for my Glory of the Cataclysm Raider.

Commento di Grummulthrus

As of 6.0.2: Nefarian must land in P3 to grant this achievement, but you can DPS him down arbitrarily in P1.

Commento di HikariOblivion

In the age of overpowering encounters to the point of triviality, the following information feels important: Phase 3 MUST begin for this achievement to count. That is to say, you need to have Nefarian enter the air phase, and complete his final descent to get this.

First attempt Nefarian died on Phase 1, didn't get it. Second attempt Nefarian barely exited the air phase, didn't count. Third attempt Nefarian landed fully and was able to talk a bit after landing, success. On the third attempt I was very careful not to push him too hard, got him to 60-ish on first phase, before burning Onyxia. then during air phase i burned Nefarian carefully to push him over 50, to 40-ish. Final phase I burned Nef hard and got achievement.

Commento di streathh

soloable, like the rest of the Raid Achieves. played as a Hunter ilv 550ish, Tank Pet really helps tho.

completely ignore Adds.

Phase 1:
- WAIT for Neferain to land & dont kill Onyxia, you can DPS her down as low as you are comfortable with
*if you can slow or CC the adds, it helps as they hit heavy. 4mio HP each, so no use killing them

Phase 2:
- Nefarian lands (WAIT for his actual landing)
-> DPS him below 50% HP, but dont go under 15% HP (15% starts Phase 4, but you need Phase 3 for the Achieve)
-> kill Onyxia

Phase 3:
- Nefarian takes of, Lava is rising, Pillars "spawning"
-> hop onto a Pillar (the Lava still ticks high) and DPS Nefarian (at below 15% Phase 4 starts)

Phase 4:
- Nefarian lands for the last time, fully healed (again WAIT and let him touch the ground)
**u can kill the remaining adds in the transition phase, but they do little damage so no worry there
-> DPS him to Oblivion, cheer for your Achievement

Commento di zatos0

With the current patch, we did it pretty easy.
We were 8 dps, just a bit geared.

First of all we went down, pulled onyxia, then we taked him slow down.
After that when nefarian went down, we just attacked him, he was at 20% circa when he took off.
when into the air, we nuked him down.

The phase that is a must for this achiv, is the flying one, the pillar phase!

Commento di 114233

Managed to solo this achievement as arcane mage 557 ilvl.This is how I did it:

Phase1:Burned down onyxia about at 25%.Also used slow on the adds and ran around in circles and popped blazing speed to avoid some hits by Onyxia and leave behind the adds until Nefarian land.

Phase2:When he did land I used mirror images and poped time warp and arcane power and tried to dps him as much as possible.Mirror images died pretty fast since they were getting hit by 3 adds,Onyxia and Nefarian,so used blink to get some dinstance and cast one more arcane blast on Nefarian.When he was at about 65% I used 2 charges of supernova on him so Onyxia died by the aoe and triggered the next phase.While Nefarian was heading to the center in order to fly,I continued to dps him so I had him at about 30%-35% by the time he took off.

Phase3:I jumped on a pillar dps'd him,silenced the add on my pillar and poped Iceblock to avoid the damage until he land.

Phase4:I took off the Iceblock used Cold Snap for the heal and burned him down.

Gained the achieve when he died.
Hope that helped.

Commento di kuunkulta

I just soloed this by accident as a frost mage. I was following the step-by-step guides from other posters, but during Nefarian's air phase I forgot to dismiss my elemental. While I was concentrating on getting up to a pillar and disposing the add, my elemental killed Nefarian and I got the achievement.

I guess he doesn't have to land anymore for achievement. But I recommend waiting for him to land to make sure, at least until someone else can confirm that he can be killed during air phase for ach.

Commento di ratspootin

550 BM hunter with Spirit Beast

I tried this on my higher ilvl destro lock and didn't get the achievement so it was hunter time. I had my pet grab Onyxia's aggro, then had him tank the adds. Once Nefarian landed, I got Nefarian down to 45%~ then killed Onyxia. Hopped up on my pillar and killed my add, then nuke Nefarian until he landed. Jumped off the pillar and popped my CDs once he landed. So he died while he was on the ground after the lava part.

The only thing I did differently with my warlock is I didn't get Nefarian below 50% BEFORE I killed Oynxia. So while most of the strats say you need to drop him below 50% during the pillars, that didn't get me the achievement--dropping him to 50% before I killed Oynxia did.

Commento di 1384561

Right, this $%^& was really heard to pull off, especially since as a frost mage I don't have much to heal myself with but with some practice and some gear it's definitely doable.
My ilvl is 555 - the main problem was surviving the overwhelming damage you get with all those jerks hitting the living crap out of you, so after many deaths I came up with a strategy that turned out to be effective.
Here's what I did:

1) Before going down I put on an Ice Barrier and made sure it was almost off cd when engaging Onyxia
2) Shoot just one Ice Lance then let your watery elemental buddy hit her while you run around like a looney
3) Freeze / Slow skellies if you run onto any before Nefarian lands down
4) As soon as Nefarian is on the ground I popped Mirror Image + Icy Veins and dpsed him down as much as possible (around 50 - 60%)
5) At this point your Water Elemental is probably dead so just make quick work of what's left of Onyxia's hp (for me it was only like 30k so she died with 1-2 unbuffed ice lances) in order to have Nefarian fly up
6) Try to get onto the pillar ASAP, kill that chromatic useless sod and then conjure first another Water Elemental then hit Time Warp and dps the living crap out of Nefarian until he lands again (roughly 15%) - I had to Ice Block here to avoid some damage just before he was gonna reach 15% thus I let a few of my elemental's waterbolts start the last phase
7) Waited for him to actually touch the ground and finished him off with a couple of spells

It was a royal pain in the backside but in the end this worked for me, hope it helps.

Commento di joeboto

just did it with 581 shadow priest. on 10m normal mode.

swp onyxia, run like headless chicken while waiting on nefarian.
once nefarian down, nuke onyxia and nuke nefarian until the pillars up.
once pillars up, get on one pillar, kill 1 add, nuke nefarian till oblivion while hes on air. achievement GETTO!

Commento di 976941

Now at level 100 make sure you don't dps to much, I simply nuked him down the second he tried to land which resulted in him and Onyxia dying at the same time. The lava also spawned even though both were dead so that's another thing to keep in mind. So my advice, follow old tacts written by Keroen and make sure not to nuke him. You got loads of time because they barely damage anything at all. Good luck! :)

Commento di Nejosan

A combination from a Cataclysm strategy comment and the answer from a GM gave me the hint how to do it. For those who never raided in Cataclysm, here is what you have to do to get credit for this achieve:

1. Engage the boss by jumping down into the pit. Do not hit Onyxia. Run around waiting to get range on Nefarian.
2. When Nefarian comes down, DPS him down to around 60%. Stop DPS and don't use dots.
3. Kill Onyxia when Nefarian is at 60%.
4. Magma will rise from the floor. Get up on one of the columns and kill the add in it.
5. When you are in the column, deal about 15%-20% of his health to Nefarian, but don't kill him.
6. He will emote he's about to land. Allow him to land.
7. When he has landed, kill him.

Hope this was helpful!

2. Wait for Nefarian to drop down
3. DPS Nefarian down to 50%
4. Kill onyxia
5. Kill adds on all three platforms - will be a lot of lava damage ( wait for debuff to drop and use cooldowns)
6. Wait for Nefarian to come back down and aggro
7. Kill and profit

Soloed with Hunter 680 with no pet on.

1. Jump down and start encounter
2. Wait for Nefarian to drop down
3. DPS Nefarian down to about 50-60%
4. Kill Onyxia
5. Stay as close to the pillar, when lava comes, jump asap and use your healing stuff. Kill add on pillar.
6. Nuke Nefarian to about 25%
7. When lava drops down, nuke till the achieve comes.

Commento di ZombieLaserbeam

I killed the $%^&er before he came down, did not get the achiev T.T

Commento di Ental

TL/DR: Apparently you can damage him below the magic 50-60% health which was never said before. Never fear, no reason to restart fight, just keep him above the 25% mark so he will at least take off and land for the actual achievement.

There are a bunch of comments already on this, and there are two very good guides for WoD already out there:

1. Engage the boss by jumping down into the pit. Do not hit Onyxia. Run around waiting to get range on Nefarian.
2. When Nefarian comes down, DPS him down to around 60%. Stop DPS and don't use dots.
3. Kill Onyxia when Nefarian is at 60%.
4. Magma will rise from the floor. Get up on one of the columns and kill the add in it.
5. When you are in the column, deal about 15%-20% of his health to Nefarian, but don't kill him.
6. He will emote he's about to land. Allow him to land.
7. When he has landed, kill him.

Thank you, Nejosan!

But I wanted to add a few things I experienced for those trying it for the first time. When you jump down, dont even bother Onyxia. She breathes and she swipes her tail, stay in front of her. Adds will come out: they will hurt a bit if you aren't a healing class, so do what you can to avoid or punch them in the face (watch out for multistrike!). Once Nefarian landed I just beat him down to ~60% - or so I thought - he was actually closer to 39%! I thought I was screwed, and being tired I just decided to finish fight and wait for reset tomorrow. I killed Onyxia, lava began filling room, adds died, and I jumped up on top of pillar.

At this point I was close to 50% health myself on my Gladiator warrior. I punched the add on the pillar, then heroic threw my way to 25% health on Neffy. He lands, I wait for lava to clear, jump down and punch him a few times in the face; whammo! He dies, I get this achievement as well as the meta (was apparently last one I needed).

Apparently you can damage him below the magic 50-60% health which was never said before. Never fear, no reason to restart fight, just keep him above the 25% mark so he will at least take off and land for the actual achievement. I also want to point out that if you do not get him below 50% before he lands (derp) you won't get achievement. I couldn't find "throw" on my rogue and he landed at 51%. Talk about pissed!

3. Killed Onyxia
4. Nef flies up but dies from frost fever before landing.

I always believed that this achievement is a reference to the song "Keep It In The Family" by Anthrax, off of their 1990 album "Persistence of Time"

Commento di Guldoran

Another achievement that has done nothing but waste my time. I tried this a long time ago on my druid. I did everything right and yet did not get the achievement. I was so ticked off I just said forget it and never tried it again. Wel lI came back to WoW a few months ago and decided to start farming mounts again. I realized this achievement was still not done so I went in to do it again and out of moonkin form Nefarian died in 2 solar wraths. I didn't expect him to die that fast given none of the other bosses died that fast in the raid. I tried to cancel the second one before he died but it was too late. So now I have to log on another character, fly all the way over here, clear the whole dungeon again and hope I don't kill Nefarian in one hit. This achievement should be changed because literally almost everything a level 110 has will 1 shot him as far as I know. It's kind of hard to do an achievement like this when the boss has to be alive until a certain point and damaged below a certain point before that. I seriously hate these old achievements and hate it even more that mounts are locked behind them.

Commento di Razorgrin

382 MM hunter. My first auto-shot hit him for ~40% of his health; my second crit him for the rest.

I'll try it naked tomorrow.

Commento di CarlKorgall

Relevant to patch 8+, you must be very careful when you take him down when he's in the air. You need to bring him down slowly so that he lands before you kill him off. Once he went into the air for the lava phase I oneshot him from 58% and didn't get the achievement.

The standard strategy provided still works: Ony to 20%, Nef to below 50%, Kill Ony and Kill Nef in Phase 3.

I watched a video that had this strategy but there was a problem when I went to do it.

The magma didn't drain after I killed one Chromo guy like in the video.
Blizz may have changed the mechanic.

So now you have to kill all three Chromo guys on pylons for the magma to drain and then you can kill Nefarian.

NOTE: Check gear for items that summon a helper pet randomly, this may overkill Onyxia or Nefarian

Commento di Shpace

Unequipping all my gear besides the weapon made it easy to follow steps from top rated comment

Commento di LurkerPatrol

So I did this on my 120 fire mage, and I was a dumb dumb. I started the fight after clicking the orb, and just ran around and waited for Nefarian to land. I then right click attacked him with my wand, trying to get his HP down to about 60%. After getting impatient, I hit him with a scorch and it both got him to 60% and it managed to kill onyxia with a dot somehow. I thought I had messed it up and wasn't supposed to do that so I killed myself in the magma and tried again. I reread the top comment and realized I was right. But on the second try I instagibbed them both so I failed it.

I went onto my 120 assassination rogue (ilvl 427). I started the fight and ran around but decided to take off my weapons. Once nefarian landed I punched him until he got to around 47%. I then killed onyxia with mutilate.

Nefarian rose up and magma poured in, I got on one of the columns and killed the mob that was standing on there but felt like I could do nothing. There was no ranged attack I could do that would hit nefarian without killing him and I couldn't melee him. I tried to swim into the lava to see if could somehow punch nefarian down, but to no avail and I was going to die, so had to rush back to the column and drink a potion. I then tried to attack nefarian with a poisoned knife. It did barely any damage but then started ticking dots! I had no poisons on so I was scared this would kill him. It ticked off just enough to make him land, and then I could kill him and get the achievement.

So tips if you're doing this on an assassination rogue like me, take your weapons off, remove your poisons, you can keep the rest of your gear on or take em off for safety. Right click attack nefarian to between 45-60%. Kill Onyxia after that. Throw a poisoned knife at Nefarian when the magma stage happens. Pray to god it doesn't tick him down too much. DPS down once he lands.

If you're a fire mage, don't use scorch out of impatience, just right click spam the wand until he goes down to 60% then do the rest.

So I try on my shaman. Everything but flame shock would 1shot, so I try to reach onyxia before flame shock finishes Nef and Ony despawns and no achievement.
I try again on my priest in disc, got him low, 1 hp ony, let Nef land and then kill him, no achievement.
I try once again on my warrior, heroic throw dealing 2mil of his 3mil hp was perfectly fine, but oh the one time in the instance it crits and 1shots nefarion and... i get the achievement this time? Didn't have to jump down, just 1tapped him by accident and it gave me the achievement.

In Dragonflight, you can get this achievement by simply one-shotting Nefarian with a ranged ability once he finishes the RP and becomes attackable. Make sure you're on Normal difficulty--for whatever reason, this seems to not work in Heroic.

So I've read almost every post, and honestly it's a headache.......
I followed everyones tip, but nothing worked.

Nuking Nefarian right after RP does NOT give you the achieve.
Everyone here has written a book of their own, making it complicated.

Did this on Heroic-25-man
I'm gonna make it simple for you guys;

1) Jump down and just hit Onyxia, and make sure she's under 50% at least. Honestly, you could probably smack her as hard as you like, and she probably wouldn't die, yet.

2) Nefarian lands. Hit him, and make sure you have him over 60%, and Kill Onyxia to probably start the next phase.

3) Nefarian flies again, and lava fills up the room. NOW kill Nefarian, and achievement will pop up with lag.

So;

Encounter starts.

- Jump down, and smack Onyxa.
- Once Nefarian lands, pinky-finger-hit him, and kill Onyxia.
- Nefarian flies, and lava fills, and kill Nefarian before lava empties.

Maybe you don't have to hit Nefarian at all when he lands, and just kill onyxia to start lava-phase.
Trying almost 10 times is enough for me though.

Good luck!

Just did this today on 25 Heroic.

Touched the orb to start the fight.
Waited for Nefarian to fly over to me and nuked him.

Commento di Helianthus394

Like other comments posted, this is what worked for me just now. In Heroic, on my level 70 hunter.
I got naked except for my bow. I then touched the orb and jumped down, Waited till Nef flew into range, then I carefully damaged him to under 50%, then killed Ony, then finally shot him while he was flying. Boom. Achievement done. Did a little lava swimming during all of that, but you get it.

Nei Sotterranei dell'Ala Nera, porta la salute di Nefarian sotto il 50% prima che atterri per lo scontro finale, poi sconfiggilo.
