Originally a line in an audio skit by The Dead Alewives. The skit has been used in many videos since, and this line has gained traction as a meme on its own.

Commento di Bzarth

To get this achievement, as written must kill a creature in the dark for each of the three phases. First Phase is 100-65% Second Phase is 65%-30% and the last phase is below 30%. The creatures in the dark spawn in the darkness surrounding the bosses room. To find these we had a demon hunter use spectral sight to find the creature then hit them with a glaive toss to bring them into the boss room.

Commento di carlwikrus

Have a demon hunter use spectral sight during EVERY phase of the xavius encounter to track down where the creature in the darkness is. Use throw glaive and pull the mob into the boss.

Commento di DrHeckyll

The add pats outside the playable area and must be taunted in - so we used a hDH to break off and locate the add for each phase - made sure we just cleaved the add with the boss so as to only get one P1 add as per usual fight - made sure all adds were dead for clean transitions. In p2 we focused the add. In p3 we delayed hero till add was located then burned the add and the boss.

Does the Potion work too to see hidden demons for the achievement ? we dont have a Demonhunter in our raid

Commento di Fierylady2

Just tried this using Truthguard and we were not able to find them. Had to get demon hunters to do it.

Commento di fouts85

Yes ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-leYc4oC83E Thanks Blizzard :D

Commento di marclar

Does anyone know if this item Cappuccio del Gran Signore Illidari works ?

Commento di Kurotowa

What's needed isn't Detect Demons but See Invisibility. In addition to a DH's Spectral Sight, you can use Elisir Individua Invisibilità Inferiore or Essenza Eterea Diluita to see the Creatures in the Dark.

Commento di WedgeMcCloud

Just finished an achievement run tonight that got this achievement. We experienced the same issues others described with Glaive Toss with our Havoc DH and figured out the problem is the travel time.

By the time the ability would have reached the mob, it seems that it is no longer attackable due to Spectral Sight ending in the time it takes to reach the mob. Our DH, however, improvised and used his talent and was able to always pull it. This seems to be because it is instant and thus the lack of a travel time meant it would hit while Spectral Sight is still up and reliably pull - although we had to wait for its 2 minute cooldown each phase.

My personal recommendation and plan for subsequent achievement runs would be to bring a Vengeance DH, as taunting with Tormento should be able to pull instantly and cause no waits for cooldowns (with Marchiatura Ardente providing a backup ability should taunt somehow cause issues).

Commento di Foresee

Hey guys, maybe a bit late now, but my guild was doing this tonight and i discovered that my Warlock's Eye of Kilrogg could see the guys from unlimited range!

The Demon Hunter in my group could also see my Eye, so i i just called out when i could see it and a general area, and then he came over to grab it.

Commento di frmorrison

Glaive Toss and Torrent (taunt) do not work. Nemeis is a 100% chance to pull him. Make sure you stay away from the dark area while slight is up.

Commento di 718478

Bring a Vengeance Demon Hunter ask them to stand in the centre of the room

As soon as Xavius is pulled use Spectral Sight and look for a Creature of Madness
Infernal Strike over near it but do not enter the mist on the edge of the room or it ends your Spectral Sight

Torment to taunt the Creature of Madness and ask the raid to nuke it then DPS Xavius down to 65%
Repeat the exercise then DPS Xavius down to 30% for the last phase and find and kill the last CoM

Do not land on an enemy with the Infernal Strike or it ends your Spectral Sight

Commento di Phyranum

We did it with only a warlock. He stood at the edge of the room and invoked an eye of killrog. When the mob passed by him he spamed conflagration to pull it. No DH needed !

Commento di Esploratore

For those who like me have problems finding enough people for achis like these, we were able to 8-man this one, we used 2 dhs dps, so they pulled the adds with nemesis, which has 50 yards range but 2 min cd, so having 2 of them they alternated the use of the ability and in general didn't have to wait long till cd was ready for each creature of madness.

Boss has 520 mil hp on 10 normal and adds have far higher hp than I'd have thought, 70 mil or so, think those might not scale down with less people; xavius does.

So overall we had 1 dk tank, 2 warriors, 1 hunter, 1 priest, 2 dhs as dps and 1 priest as healer.

In general we had around 930-900 item level, a bit lower than we could have had, but DHs, even in 900-910 item level, were incredibly useful.

Also, we focused down tentacles as fast as possible in the last phase, since I read they break spectral sight, they can be killed like instantly in this gear.

Commento di sadistic12345

i thought its a yugioh refference when yugi destroyed the shadow castle

Commento di Djuntas

Im wondering if the Illidian leather helm also works for this. We had a DH who solo this now while we waited, at 120.

Commento di sadistic12345

is this a refference to yugioh where he attacks the moon?

Commento di Zombzar

If you spec into Netherwalk (+100% speed, immune to dmg for 5 sec) and you pop Netherwalk and then Spectral Sight right after, you have a small window in which you can walk through the dark area without spectral sight breaking, allowing you to get in range to taunt the creature. You can alternate this with Spectral Sight > Nemesis.

Commento di Spiel

Soloed as demo warlock (~390 ilvl), was not an easy one. Starting a fight in sleep mode is mandatory or else you will get mind controlled too fast. Killed Xavius with 3 sec until second mind control (first one negated by sleep mode).

Commento di Sipder2

To solo Attacco all'oscurità you need DH or Lock:

I recommend you create macro to pull creature of madness FAST
for example:
/tar creature of madness
/use Nemesis

On first phase DH use Vista Spettrale > to aggro creature of madness.
On phase 2 and 3 DH use Calcafatuo > Vista Spettrale > to aggro creature of madness.

Warlock use Occhio di Kilrogg + any ranged skill to aggro creature of madness.

Is very important memorize the creature of madness START LOCATION, use raid marks to make everything easier.
click here to see my raid marks locations.

On first phase (EXACTLY 100% HP) creature of madness starts on the left side of the boss.
Exactly location here.

On second phase (EXACTLY 65% HP) creature of madness starts at your back. Use Metamorfosi Demoniaca to get there fast.
Exactly location here.

On the last phase (EXACTLY 30% HP) creature of madness starts on the right side of the boss's initial area.
Exactly location here.

So... when you kill the three creatures of madness just nuke the boss fast or you will die for mind control.

Commento di Empress48

If you are looking to solo this, and you are a stubborn player like me who does not play a lock or dh and who refuses to ask for help from one, then you may be happy to hear that it is in fact possible to solo this with any class. Albeit, with a bit of extra prep and challenge.

It requires getting this item from Stratholme from the Nerubian boss in the Baron Rivendare side:

Occhio di Arachnida

This functions like Eye of Kilrogg and allows you to see invisible mobs, including the ones needed for this achievement. The only caveat is that it is unique and has only 3 charges. That means that after getting one, you have exactly one shot at completing this achievement before you have to go all the way back to Stratholme to farm another one. It is possible to farm multiple by letting the extras go to your mailbox via postmaster, however.

I'd recommend watching a video to find exactly where the adds spawn. Position yourself so that the add will move in front of you, tag the boss, turn your character to face where the add will be and then use the eye. Once you've used the eye you'll have to tag the mob with a ranged ability which will then break the channel for the eye. You won't be able to reposition once you've used the eye, so if the mob doesn't move in range and in front of your character then you will not have a chance to tag them while the eye is out. Tag and kill the add. Then just reposition yourself to a point where you'll be in range and facing the second add, wait for the 1 min cd on the item, get the boss to 65%, use they eye and tag and kill the second add. Then wait for the insanity bar to fill because it will teleport you. Move to the location for the third add, wait for the 1 min cd on the item, get the boss to 30%, use they eye and tag and kill the third add. Then quickly kill the boss before you get MC'd.

Did it myself as mage. It took three attempts.

Commento di Aesirel

Does anyone know if Pozione della Visione Oscurata works to find the Creatures in the Dark?

Commento di Manuelando

Is Extremely frustrating to notice is IMPOSSIBLE SOLO it with Warlock.

----> When use Eye of Killrog and dismiss it, i still see the mob but still untouchable.
I tried to position my self in good range to hit istantly using a macro..... useless attempt, is untouchble.

I wonder WHY NOBODY SAID THAT? g*$$#@M(#@*#@% !

Commento di LurkerPatrol

Ok so just managed this on my Demon Hunter (ilvl 260 but that doesn't really matter), it took a few tries and a few mess-ups and having to redo things but I'll lay out everything I did in case it helps someone out who's struggling.

Premise

You need to kill 3 Creatura della Follia before dropping the boss Xavius. These creatures will spawn once during each phase and there are 3 phases. They are hidden/obscured behind the stage and can only be seen using DH Vista Spettrale (or warlock's Occhio di Kilrogg). The first phase is right at 100%, so as soon as you engage the fight with Xavius the Creatura della Follia will spawn. The second phase is the moment you drop Xavius to 65% exactly, and the final/third phase is when you drop Xavius to 30%

I did/re-did this on heroic because I accidentally killed the boss on normal, but it can be done on any difficulty.

Pre-fight setup

You need to set up your Vista Spettrale spell somewhere convenient and next to it make a macro for targeting the creature and taunting it. I used

/tar Creature of Madness
/cast Torment

You also need Metamorfosi Demoniaca, Calcafatuo, and Vilscatto handy

Make a raid by going into the LFR/LFG menu, setting up a group for legacy raid, and making it private. Make the name anything you want, I just made it garbage like "asdasd". This gives you the ability to use raid world markers which makes this entire fight so much easier.

From here on out, I am going to refer to the stage that the fight takes place in as "the bowl", and I will treat it as such in diagrams and explanations.

Kill the initial mobs in the bowl and wait for xavius to come out, but don't engage the fight. You can now setup your world markers. Here are a couple screenshots I took of the markers: https://imgur.com/a/rIOYOTX

And here is a diagram I made to show where you set up the markers: https://i.imgur.com/wD5mNaT.png

Green triangle goes on/behind the boss spawn point
Red X goes to the left center-ish of the circle
Blue square goes to the right center-ish of the circle
Yellow star goes in between the green triangle and red X
Purple diamond goes in between the green triangle and the blue square
Moon goes directly behind you if you were positioned in the middle of the circle
Orange circle goes between X and Moon and is only for positional/orientational help, otherwise optional

This is based off of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2I9FOwrLhk but often its much easier to see a picture than to watch a video and have to scroll backwards and forwards so I made this diagram.

Once you finish putting the markers, position yourself near the X and the star until you're within range of throwing a glaive at xavius.

Reminder: in order for spectral sight to stay active, you cannot take damage

The fight

Throw a glaive at xavius, and IMMEDIATELY hit spectral sight and spam the macro button. If you can't torment it, you weren't far out of the bowl enough, you gotta go towards the fog. Once you succeed, focus all DPS on the creature of madness and bring it down as fast as you can, do not hit xavius with any AOE or any other spells that could damage him, leave him be for now.

Move xavius back towards the green triangle, just to give yourself distance for phase 2. At around 15 seconds left for spectral sight (or depending on how much damage you do in general) start dpsing down xavius to 65%. Get your Metamorfosi Demoniaca and Vilscatto ready, and start looking towards the moon icon. Once you have him at 65%, hit Metamorfosi Demoniaca and jump towards moon. Hit Vilscatto twice and do your Vista Spettrale and spam the macro. You should be able to grab the creature. DPS the creature down, do not hit Xavius, so no AoE.

Xavius will start attacking you at this point, your corruption level will go up quite a bit, but don't fret. Wait until 15 seconds left for spectral sight (depending on how much damage you do), and start DPSing Xavius down to 30%. As you near it, get Calcafatuo and Vilscatto ready. Face towards the purple diamond and once you get xavius to 30% immediately hit Calcafatuo and rush towards the purple diamond. Hit Vista Spettrale and spam the macro. You may need to go deeper into the fog to grab this one (so use Vilscatto if need be). If you succeed, dps the creature down, no AoE.

If you succeeded in dropping the third creature: Kill Xavius and you have the achievement.

If you failed at dropping the third creature: let the corruption reach 100%. It will give you a refresh of your abilities and you can then use Calcafatuo and Vista Spettrale again. Do this towards the GREEN TRIANGLE. This is the alternate spawn point for the third creature in case you fail.

If you failed to grab any creature:

Don't dps the boss
Target yourself (with F1)
Let the corruption reach 100%
After it reaches 100% the second time, you will die and respawn back at cenarius (right before xavius) and you can do the whole fight over again
Double check positioning of your markers, readjust as needed
(Semi optional) Change the name of your group/the description so that the raid group doesn't disappear and you can retain your markers

PHEW. GOOD LUCK!

I confirm that this can be soloed by any class providing you have Orb of Revelation obtained for the quest Spy vs Spy from the Korthia campaign in Shadowlands.

My only eligible character for this quest was a rogue.

Once you obtain the item, I recommend you put it on your action bar with an easy key binding. It has a cast time and running around clicking on it is not an option.

Then you create a macro with your ranged instant ability. I used Shuriken Toss, which has a 30 yd range. If you use a ranged class with 40 yd range ability you are golden.
The macro was:
/tar Creature of Madness
/cast Shuriken Toss

I placed this macro button next to my Orb of Revelation button.

Once you are at the boss, it is fundamental to place position markers as recommended by LurkerPatrol in his comment: https://i.imgur.com/wD5mNaT.png

At the beginning I did not take that seriously, but honestly knowing the spawning spots of these things is essential. Forget about chasing them because any damage you take will immediately break the orb vision. So you need to be placed at the right position at every cast.

Firs spawn is at red X marker. Position yourself inside the fog because if you are too far you are not going to hit it (maybe with 40 yd it is easier). Range pull the boss and immediately face the fog, activate your orb and spam your macro. You should be able to hit and pull the add. Kill it.

Move to moon, the boss will follow you. Do not start attacking before because if you are not a DH you cannot jump that far. But if you ranged of course you can kite. Just be aware that at 60% you should be on the right spot (moon). Then repeat as above: face the fog, activate your orb and spam your macro.

Move to purple. DPS the boss until 30%. The add will not appear immediately as in the first two cases. Stay there and keep activating the orb and spamming the macro key facing the fog. You have enough time. It will show up eventually.

The good thing about rogue is that I could always vanish reset if things were not going smoothly. Basically if you miss either of the first two adds, you can reset.

Good luck

Commento di Crusherix

Sadly Bengala does not reveal mob despite it saying it reveals invisible targets.

Commento di Cadoz

So I used the same strat as the fine commentors below, DH and spectral sight.

However I could not make it work correctly and after some testing I realized that the adds didn't spawn in the correct locations.

Clearly illustrated here is the locations of the adds for me, hope it helps if you are facing the same issue.
