What a thrill...

Commento di YariniCeteri

Edit: At long last, we got it. I would like to extend full credit to the following players, who reached out to me on Btag with a theory and allowed me to join them to test various things. Unlike some groups, they had no issue with me sharing their strat here.

Big thanks to: Darte-Stormreaver, Novath-Stormreaver, Aeglour-Stormreaver, Durtyd-Blackrock and Citadel-Blackrock.

As for the achievement itself, we believe it's slightly bugged. After the egg hatches we think the snake should simply become attackable but currently evade bugs. This is the unfortunate part because as far as we can tell this achievement requires a DK at the moment.

The Solid Egg is atop the bones that extend over the room, on the right hand side of the room. It can be seen in this screenshot. It's invisible but can be revealed with ground effects that damage it, Flare and Spectral Sight. Once revealed it can be killed, but according to their group this caused it to despawn until the boss was reset. Instead they caused it to hatch by damaging it with a single ability (just enough to reveal it) and then positioning the boss nearby. Their positioning was extremely precise, though it's unclear how much precision is required. In this wide-angle shot, red is where the egg is during the encounter, green is where the group was stacked and orange is where the tank held the boss. On a subsequent pull it was suggested that the tank had to be close enough to hit the egg with ranged abilities (Throw Glaive in his case).

Once the boss is in position you need to wait for a Blinding Sand cast. We believe that you need to have at least one person get disoriented by the Blind, as this happened every time we had it hatch. At any rate it didn't hurt to do, so we did. It was a little hit and miss, but if the egg doesn't hatch, wait for another blind.

Once the egg does hatch is where the problem starts for a lot of groups. This is what the mob does after being hatched. The mob evade bugs and will not come down no matter what you do. If you run far enough away (we just went to the opposite side of the room) then the snake drops combat and chills up on top of the bones doing nothing. Their group realised that once this happened they were able to hit it with a single ability before it would re-engage and evade bug again. With a DK in group, the first ability (before it enters combat and evade bugs) can be a Death Grip, which pulls it down into the arena and stops it from evading. I believe they tried using Sigil of Chains before I was brought in which did not move the snake. This is why I say that we believe a DK is necessary at the moment. If I hear in the future this is no longer the case, I'll update this post.

Once the snake is gripped down, you just need to kill it (he does nothing but melee swing) and once he dies he becomes clickable. You do a short cast called 'Snake Eater' and then get a 10 minute buff (also called Snake Eater) at which point the achievement pops up without you needing to kill boss.

This is what you look like after eating the snake and getting your costume.

Edit 2: According to Exsecutor you can grip the egg down before it hatches (still avoid killing it) and then hit it with Noxious Breath to hatch it. Thanks for the idea!

Edit 3: According to Nokomanida-Mal'ganis (US) you can circumvent the need for a DK with a priest by mind controlling the snake after it drops combat and jumping it off the bones. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks again to the players I mentioned above and to the long list of people who have been adding me to suggest things over the past few days. Almost there on these metas, now let's go find a mummy shall we?

My btag is FrostyShot#1667 if you have any questions about the metas. (US Servers)

Small explanation of the achievement: After revealing the Egg with Flare We used Death Grip to pull the egg downstairs, then proceeded to make the boss use the Noxious Breath towards the egg which will damage the egg. After reaching low hp it will be ready to hatch and requires the boss to cast Blinding Sand towards the egg to hatch it. Kill the Solid Snake and right click its corpse. As seen in the video, you do not need to kill the boss to get the achievement.

Here's the video of our achievement completion.

I'm still, in a dream of a Snake Eater...

Commento di karnageGB

My group found that the blind wasnt hatching it after 2 blinds of all of us being blinded ontop of the egg (I has gripped it down).

We then accidentally got the breath that leaves stuff on the group onto the egg then it hatched.

Commento di roffedarotch

priest can mindcontroll the egg and jump down with it

got it to smoldering but never managed to get it to hatch with different combos of breath and blind

Commento di raiseDshields

We also used a death knight to drag it down, and what definitely worked (we did it multiple times) was having the egg be hit by three abilities: the breath, the blinding sand, and the burrow (we pulled the egg onto where she circles around). The second it was hit by the third ability, the egg hatched, even though it was at high health.

Commento di Teelie

How my group did this and what we learned:

1. The easy part. First you need to see the egg, and you have to use stealth vision or an AoE to find it. And then you have to grip it down somehow. My group used a DK. So you engage the boss with the group while the DK pulls down the egg at the same time. Then one DPS in the group starts hitting the egg, taking it to 1-5k hp. The rest has to CHILL with the DPS, if he gets below 80-90% somewhere, then the egg will not "burst" later.

2. So you got the egg at 1-5k hp, and you probably cleared the first phase of the boss doing Burrow, now you need to get the boss semi-close (30 yard range should be OK, preferably less though). And it is important that at least someone looks at the boss, so you get blinded. Otherwise for some reason the egg won't pop open.

3. Then you just cleave the boss and the new snake that spawned, and when it dies it is important that you interact with the snake, so you get a 10 minute buff on you. When you get this buff you have completed the achievement. So it is vital that you click this as soon as it is dead, in case you somehow wipe on the boss and then can't interact with it afterwards.

Commento di Testz

Currently my group tried this for about an hr and this achievement is NOT possible without an DK to grip the egg down.

Our group tried all positions to have the toxic breath and blind hit the egg with no luck. So it was not possible for us even have the egg hatch.

If anyone has done this without a DK please share a video or how it was done. Blizzard really needs to fix this as this is the only achievement left for my group.

Commento di kimnaa

Our team dealers have just succeeded without DK.

We could not drag down 'solid eggs'
In its original position, it was possible to turn a 'solid eggs' into a 'solid snake'.
But we could not kill because of the bug.

So our two rogues and warlocks found a way to go up.

> First of all, make 'solid eggs' visible,
> The rogue moves to the 'solid eggs' position using the 'Shadow Step (?)' Skill,
> The position of the rogue, the Warlock uses the 'position converter' to move,
> The Warlock has designated 'circle teleport'.
> Again, the rogue moves to the Warlock position using the skill.

The problem is that I do not know how to get other classes.
I am a priest, and I could not.
Only two rogues and warlock have completed the achievement.

The way to break eggs is simple.
Phase 1: Shoot 'Noxious Breath' in front of the eggs.
Phase 2: Shoot 'Blinding Sand' in front of the eggs.

kill Solid Snake. Click dead Solid Snake.

Commento di Madkreig

After having tried this with 2 groups, the only way my friends and I have found is by using a death knight.

Pull the boss, grip the egg down and make it get hit by a noxious breath by standing close to it. If it gains a green tint and starts smoking a little you have succeeded. After this, dps the boss until he goes down. Kill off the adds and then stack on top of the egg before the boss comes up. For the egg to hatch, the boss must cast Blinding Sands in the direction of the egg. The cast is aimed at a random group member so make sure you stack up, as he will cast it just a second or two after unburrowing.

This should make the egg hatch, spawning Solid Snake. Kill it and interact with the body and you'll get the achi. You do not need to kill the boss to get it.

If you have problems finding the egg, look at the pictures in YariniCeteri's comment.

Commento di ShadeolTheFox

My group was having problems with mind controlling the snake after breaking the egg. We found that you could mind control the egg after it turns green (from being hit by the poison breath), jump down, and then un-MC right before Blinding Sands finishes. If you do it right, the egg should be hit by Blinding Sands before it teleports away, dropping the Solid Snake on the ground and letting you kill it with no issue.

Commento di CrockettMaster

If you accidentally kill the egg, don't worry! Resetting the encounter will respawn the egg.

Commento di DrHeckyll

We used a mage to revel the egg before the encounter. At first we tried a monk with ring of peace to try to push the egg of its perch and it did move slightly but not fall off then move back again.

In the end we brought in a DK to grab the egg at the start of the fight. We then had all sorts of issues getting it to hatch. First we had to make sure that the egg was low on health (sub 5k). Then we had to make sure the egg was inside the encounter area as the boss would sometimes spawn behind the egg in P2 and bug out.

To counter this the DK used grip again to place the egg in a better position. Finally we made sue the egg was 'blinded' in the first or send blind after P2. FINALLY - once the snake is hatched ANY party member can click the dead snake (2-3 second cast) and the achievement was awarded for everyone. ND: you don't have to kill the boss and he is easy to reset (which we did everytime the egg died without hatching) VID: https://youtu.be/GeCmMLnbhyA

Commento di eppon

Having now done this achievement several times in a row, I can say for a fact what is needed to get it done. NOTE: The boss does NOT need to die to get this done. You can reset her and do it again another time. However, resetting or killing the boss will despawn the egg and the snake, even if ithe solid snake is dead. So all players need to be alive to get their personal achievement when it is possible.
The boss will not spit poison in phase 2, so if you fail to hit it, push her to phase 3 where she does it again. The boss only does the Blinding sands in phases 2 and 3.
Ensuring it can get to the players it targets is hard, having a DK grip the egg down to keep it from despawning or evading is recommended. The egg can be gripped down before starting the fight.

1. Reveal the egg, using flare or ground-based stealth-breaking effects.
2. Get the egg hit by poison spit to make it green AND make sure the blinding sands is cast with the boss looking AT the egg itself. Players do not need to get hit by it, they simply need to stand in a manner that makes the boss look toward the egg when she casts it. These two things can happen in either order.
3. Kill the Solid snake.
4. Click the Solid Snake's corpse. Every player needs to do this personally. The achievement is gained instantly.

Commento di Maylin

You can do this with a priest Mind Controlling.

1: Mind control egg before pull and get hit by the Noxious Breath Breath. The Egg will resets.
2: Push to phase 2 if the egg is green.
3: Mind control again and then drop mind control before Blinding Sand cast finishes.( You can spin the egg before dropping Mind control to delay the egg from teleporting up again )

Commento di Ainarsong

Okay. I think I've finally figured out exactly how this achievement works.

In order to have the solid egg turn into the solid snake, you need to following to occur.

1. Reveal the egg with flare, or some sort of ground based aoe (we tried death and decay and rain of fire; they worked. starfall didn't for some reason.)
2. Have the egg hit by the Noxious Breath attack. The egg will turn green and smoke will start coming out.
3. Have the egg hit by the Blinding Sand attack. The egg will hatch, you will be able to attack the solid snake, kill it, and click its corpse to complete the achievement.

Issues we had were: the egg hatching on top of the skeleton and then evading/generally bugging out, not being able to bring the egg down to the floor to be easily targeted with the breath/blind attack with our group composition. When we MC'ed the egg, it would reset its position upon the end of the MC channel.

We ended up bringing in a Death Knight to grip the egg into an area where we could stack up and get breathed/blinded to spawn it.

Commento di Spasticon

Solid Snake corpse will despawn when boss dies. "Looting" it is a 3 second channel. Each member must do this during the fight, before the boss dies to get credit.

Commento di Magisch

We did this with a Death Knight to grip the egg down.

Following strategy worked:

Pre-Fight:
1. Use Death and Decay to reveal the egg atop the bone structure.
2. Grip the Egg Down from its perch.

During the fight:
1. Stack up in front of the egg so the first Noxious Breath hits it. (The Egg should now smolder green)
2. Carefully (!) dps the egg down to about 10% HP
-- Second Phase --
3. Stack up on the egg to guarantee blinding sand facing towards the egg (The egg should now hatch)
4. Defeat Serpente Solido
5. Click on the corpse of Serpente Solido to channel Mangiatore di Serpenti

Commento di Elyssaelina

1. Dk grip the egg down before the fight. We did also try a rogue shadowstep after using a hunter flare to reveal, but it seemed to be out of line of sight.

2. Tank boss in middle, everyone else sitting between boss and egg until the egg is covered in green (Noxious breath).

3. Dps/heals sit on top of egg until it gets hit by the sand (Blinding sand), it will hatch immediately afterwards

4. Kill hatched "solid snake"

5. Eat body (click on it)

You get the achievement immediately afterwards, you don't need to kill the boss for it.

Commento di Coldaria

The easiest way to do this achievement either with a Death Knight or a Priest, is to poison the egg while its on the skeleton. THEN just as the boss finishes burrowing, have the player Death Grip or Mind Control to bring the egg down for the Blinding Sand to hatch the egg and spawn the Solid Snake.

This method avoids having the egg return to its spot on the skeleton or having the Solid Snake spawn on the skeleton.

Commento di Oceandust

If you kill the Solid Egg by mistake after pulling it down to the ground, you can just reset the boss and the egg will respawn. You don't need to reset the instance. It takes a few minutes for it to respawn on top of the skeleton after resetting the boss.

Edit: If you're having difficulties resetting the boss, you have to wait for the small snakes to hatch and kite them up the ramp. Just kiting the boss up the ramp won't reset the fight, he will follow you all the way to the entrance.

Commento di Jackdawz

Patch 9.0.5

Shadowpriest Solo

Probably one of the trickiest solo thing i've ever done, if the positioning and the timing is bad is a 100% fail :D

-full dps on boss and make it burrow;
-dots on ads;
-position for shadow crash to reveal and mind control the egg (must be in range and line of sight);
-dismiss the egg when the boss is done with burrow;
-hatch egg with blinding sand;
-profit!

Commento di mwills

I was able to do it more or less by myself on my warrior. However, I had to use other toons. I used a trial account character to keep the group active as I switched between toons on my main account. My warrior cleared up to Merektha. I then switched to my dk to reveal and pull the egg down without pulling Merektha. I then switched back to the warrior and followed eppon's instructions to get the achievement. The egg stayed on the ground and unstealthed while I switched toons.

Commento di Chaosrider

I was able to solo this on my hunter by swapping to SV.

Drop a flare to be able to see the egg. In P1, misdirect to your pet and micro it a little so the boss is facing towards the egg to make sure Noxious Breath hits. Once it turns green you're good to move out of the way and wait for the boss to Burrow.
Once it's underground, kill the snakes that spawn and then harpoon up to the Solid Egg. Command your pet to stay under the bone arch and a little bit in front of it. When the boss spawns for P2 it will cast Blinding Sand. If you've positioned your pet correctly the Solid Snake should spawn. This may take a few tries and if you run out of Blinding Sands you can just feign death + play dead to reset the boss.
Pop all your cooldowns and quickly kill the Solid Snake. If you don't kill it fast enough the boss eventually teleports you back down to the arena and the Solid Snake will start evading. Once it's dead eat the snake while you're still on the bone arch and win.

edit: spelling

Commento di SilverDragon234

"This is Snake. I'm done here."

Commento di ifloops

Be advised, if using a DK to pull the egg, the Defile talent prevents you from unstealthing it.

Commento di Wyler

Was able to duo this with a mage and priest:

1. Mage went fire and used flamestrike to reveal the egg.
2. We start the encounter and positioned the boss so that noxious breath hit the egg. I think this step could be done before or after the next step (the MCing).
3. Priest mind controlled the egg (before it turns into the solid snake), jumped it down, and we stuck it in front of the boss. It was amusing seeing an egg running around trying to get in front of the boss.
4. A couple times we failed to get everything done and the egg just kinda returns to its spot up on the bones. No problem repeating previous steps until we got it to turn into the solid snake.
5. From there, just kill the snake, interact with the corpse, and that was it.

We were able to run out of the room a couple times to reset the encounter while we were learning what to do and when (and swap specs a little - priest changed to healer spec to give us better longevity in the fight).

Commento di tooltip

Due to the mechanics involved, this achievement is all but impossible to solo unless you're the "correct" class.

Commento di NoNick1337

To solo this I've used two characters on the same account: My main - warrior and an alt - DK (lvl 53, but that doesn't matter. He didn't participate in combat). HEADS UP: To quickly log back and forth between the characters I alt+F4'ed and relaunched the game as it was much faster than waiting the 20 seconds for the logout.

I've parked both of the characters right before the entrance to the dungeon. As DK i entered the dungeon on Mythic difficulty and then while inside I created a group in Premade Finder under custom. Then I switched to my warrior and signed up to the group. Switched back to DK to accept the invite and then back to warrior to confirm the invitation and to enter the dungeon. I was on my warrior and inside I could still see my offline DK standing thus we were in the same instance. As warrior I cleared until the boss spawned then logged onto DK. As DK i walked to the boss and without pulling the boss i used Death and Decay to reveal the egg and Death Grip to pull the egg down. That's all i needed from my DK, so I left him near the egg and logged onto my warrior. I pulled the boss, turned it towards the egg and after 10 seconds it cast the Breath on the egg and the egg has turned slightly green. After one underground phase the boss has casted the Blinding attack and the egg has hatched. I killed the add and clicked on its corpse. That granted me the achievement (both the warrior and the DK. The DK died during combat).

The patch of the comment is 10.0, but i did it on the last day of 9.2.7.

Commento di ctothek

As a DK.

1. DnD the Egg on top of the skeleton and pull it down.
2. Aggro boss and put infront of egg.
3. He hit the egg with Noxious Breath once and once with another ability.
4. Solid Snake spawns from egg, kill Solid Snake.
5. Click his body.
6. Kill boss.
7. Done.

I was stunned but I only had to use IBF once.

Commento di Locopoco

As a DK revelated the egg, death griped it down, got it hatched, killed the snake clicked on it to get buff, kill boss.....no Achieve, did this 7 times, took photos and still got told by Blizz that I was lying ....

Commento di hotcore
