I’m soloing ICC on a DPS lvl 110 so that I can complete this achievement in order to get the the Reins of the Icebound Frostbrood Vanquisher. I know now that there are certain parts you can’t complete on your own (“Portal Jockey,” “Been Waiting a Long Time for This,” “Once Bitten, Twice Shy”).
But the problem is that there are a few parts that I can solo do, but they are showing that I haven’t done them (“Storming the Citadel,” “The Crimson Hold,” “The Plagueworks,” “Full House.”)
These are just achievements you get when you kill bosses, which I have done, but is showing that I haven’t.
So my question is why can’t I complete these 4 parts of in the Glory of the Icecrown Raider 25 person achievement? Do I have to be in a group to get it? Has it happened to anyone else? How do I solve it?
Help is much appreciated please.
Portal Jockey is soloable by healers. Bandages and Bandage Guns used to work on normal - maybe they still do. If you bring a healer friend with you - you should be fine. Or, if you have a healer alt - the alt could earn the achieve and you would have progress toward the meta.
Been Waiting A Long Time for This is soloable by Pet Classes only. If you don’t have a pet class, I think you’d need a tank class to help. Here’s a link to a thread on the subject of this achievement:
Once Bitten Twice Shy is soloable - but takes two runs. One run you need big stick dps: food, flask, potions, runes, and drums or heroism/bloodlust/timewarp/ancient hysteria - and kill her before she bites you. One run you must let her bite you and kill her before you become mind controlled (this one is typically easy because you get a dps boost when she bites you).
Storming the Citadel, The Crimson Hold, and The Plagueworks are achievements for clearing a specific wing of the raid and should be earned upon a full clear. They are not required for the meta achievement.
Full House is soloable and requires waiting around at the 2nd boss until the 5 different types of adds are out / transformed - then killing the boss without killing the adds (one of each type of add must be up when the boss dies - human melee, human caster, skeletal melee, skeletal caster and the one I call the big ugly).
