Dropping Some Eaves

Gameplay Achievements

I have run CoS over 20 times on multiple toons trying to get this achievement. I have killed all the sentries before they could alert anyone, i have disabled all the beacons, i have only used enforcers to draw away bodyguards from second boss. I have also picked the spy correctly on the first try on almost every single attempt. Yet i still have yet to see the correct dialogue needed to get this achievement. Is this achievement RNG based? Or just bugged? I know a GM hinted at it being RNG based but I just talked to one today who said there were specific steps to take. If so what are they?

Only thing you didn't mention was whether you opened the door before the role play was over or not. I typically don't open the door until I hear the role play over. Some say it doesn't matter - some say it does.

Some say as long as you don't run into the room - did you open the door and run into the room?

Never heard about needing a quest to be up.

Also, even with not opening the door, it may be RNG.

I would love to get a blue post about this!

I struggled with this for weeks also. Wasn't sure what I was doing wrong. I'm still not sure honestly.

Not sure if if actually matters but I killed all the sentries and disabled the beacons. There is so much misinformation out there about this achievement a blue post about it would be nice.

There's a great post in WoWhead that explains how to do it.

I pulled several times solo and nothing, but then I did it in the specific way highlighted and I got it straight away.

The reason you have to disable the beacons is so no notifications of your presence reaches Elisande’s ears. She has to think it’s the rebellion within the city that’s causing problems, not outsiders (thus the dialogue). I personally think you have to disable the beacons before you kill the sentries, or don’t kill the sentries at all.
By “only used enforcers” I assume you mean you didn’t interact with anything else, that’s good. If anyone runs away screaming/yelling “INTRUDERS” or the like, you’ve lost.
You also do have to get the spy on the first attempt (there are older comments on Wowhead that say you don’t need to get the spy, but those are pre-hotfix, when the achievement was RNG based)…It is NOT RNG based anymore, choosing someone who isn’t the spy starts people muttering in the party, and gives Elisande the chance to hear about your presence.

Correct dialogue for the achievement: Elisande says: You throw a party for vapid nobles even as rebels leave corpses strewn about our streets?

Pretty sure you would know before going in the room if you had triggered the achievement, the dialogue starts as/before you are opening the door.

You can definitely open the door and run into the room prior to the appropriate dialog starting - I would recommend against it.

I’m pretty sure the actions that proc the dialogue happen before the door, but I agree that if you can enter the room before the dialogue starts that is probably a baaad idea.

Hello! I realize this is an older post, but also an important one for players like me who like to go back and finish achievements.

I just completed this achievement by watching a video on Youtube. I kept failing even though I completed all the mentioned steps. What I learned later was, both achievements cannot be done in the same run.

Explanation: The first one: Waiting for Gerdo, requires you to kill all five Sentries first. Then, you have to engage the boss and wait for him to call for backup Signal Beacon. Once the guards have appeared, you can either kite the Boss and Adds to all 5 beacons to shut them down depending on your character level/endurance or kill the adds right away and then drag the boss to each beacon. Side Tip: Gerdo will also have a count of how many beacons are still activated attached to his name tag.

Summary: You cannot complete both achievements in one run because the first requires the FIRST BOSS to be alive and the beacons to be shut down during his encounter and the second requires all five Sentries dead and the beacons to be shut down BEFORE engaging the FIRST BOSS.

Location of Sentries:
1st one is near the first beacon
2nd one is patrolling the docks to the left of the 1st Sentry area
3rd one is patrolling in the courtyard area right after and just behind the 1st one
4th one is standing in the doorway next to the 2nd beacon
5th one is patrolling the bridge with two mobs right behind the 2nd Beacon
