Glory of the Dazar'alor Raider is the meta achievement for the Battle of Dazar'alor raid in Battle for Azeroth. This achievement rewards the

Overview
It is highly recommended that you plan your raid setup ahead of time, since there are a few factors that will make the achievements slightly easier. You can bring anywhere between 10 to 30 players as long as you have classes that can cover all buffs and debuffs, as well as some CC. There are also a few key classes which you should bring:
You need to make sure that your raid has:
Before you start the Champions of the Light boss fight, every member of the raid will have to click on the nearby
Mysterious Trashpile to get
Jani's Favor. Throughout the fight players will get transformed into Saurids and get an extra action button they can use to steal one shiny coin from the enemies.
For this achievement your raid group will have to steal 3 shiny coins from each of the enemy npcs, and then return them to the
Mysterious Trashpile before the transformation expires. Your group will have to steal 9 coins:
- 3 shiny coins from the Crusaders
- 3 shiny coins from the Disciples
- 3 shiny coins from the Champion
By the stairs before the boss fight against Grong you will find 6 clickable
Heavy Barrels. The raid team should pick them up and carry them to the boss area.
You will then need to pull the boss and let him hit the
Heavy Barrels with
Reverberating Slam (Horde) or
Deathly Slam (Alliance).
Each
Heavy Barrel that is destroyed will buff the boss with
Going Ape, granting Grong a 20% damage increase for 30 seconds.
Once all 6
Heavy Barrels have been destroyed, defeat the boss and you'll get the achievement.
For this achievement you will have to pick up the hidden
Jade Serpent Egg, avoid taking damage from fire spells and have the Monk cast
Dragon's Breath on it.
The egg is hidden, but will become visible when you get very close to it after you start the encounter. Since the boss areas are different for Horde and Alliance, the locations of the egg are also different.
You should pick up the egg after the first set of Living Bomb has been dealt with to avoid breaking it with
Explosion. The
Phoenix Strike in phase 2 also breaks the egg, so be ready to dodge the fire on the ground once bosses reach 60 energy.
At 100 energy the Monk transforms into a Jade Serpent. All players should then group up or form a line with the player carrying the egg and let it get hit by
Dragon's Breath. Defeat the boss and you'll get the achievement.
This achievement is personal. You will need to use the /praise emote on a
Singing Sunflower while buffed with
Brilliant Aura. The pet doesn’t have to be your own.
You can set the Sunflower as your focus target and use this macro so you can quickly praise it:
The
Brilliant Aura is a buff that requires one or more players to pick up the
Topaz of Brilliant Sunlight. These players need to gain 100 stacks of
Incandescence by simply staying away from other players.
At 100 stacks these players will gain the
Grossly Incandescent! buff. All players standing near the buffed player will be granted
Brilliant Aura. You will have to /praise the Sunflower while under the effect of the aura, and then kill the boss.
For this achievement you will need to leave alive at least one of the first
Ravenous Stalkers until the end of the fight.
Every 20 seconds the raptor will fixate a different player with
Mark of Prey. The fixated player will need to kite the raptor away from damage to avoid killing it.
Death Knight's
Death Grip can help keep the
Ravenous Stalker away from the raid to avoid damaging it.
To do this achievement you will need to keep the phantom adds alive until the end of the fight.
A third tank is ideal for this achievement as that player can pick up the adds and move them away from the raid. Simply tanking them away from incoming damage and ensuring
Grave Bolt is interrupted should be enough.
To complete this achievement you'll need one or more engineers that have
Blingtron 4000 or
Blingtron 5000.
Summon the Blingtrons before starting the fight, and shortly after the boss is engaged, the
Blingtron MK2 will spawn. Defeat it, then finish the boss fight and you will get the achievement.
Blingtron MK2 has only 2 abilities:
Blingstorm (AoE damage ability) and
Gold Chain Lightning (Chain Lightning ability, can be interrupted).
This achievement required you to summon
De Lurker Be'loa and then defeat the Stormwall Blockade encounter. You do not have to defeat the Lurker.
To summon
De Lurker Be'loa you need to click on a fish pool to the left of the docks after the boss has been engaged. Leave one player on the docks while the rest of the raid does the boss normally.
After clicking on the pool, the player will start pulling a rope out of the water for 2 minutes. The player will be constantly pulled towards the water, and have to dodge incoming waves and swirls to avoid dying.
Once
De Lurker Be'loa has been summoned, and after transitioning to the last phase, the raid will have to deal with its 2 abilities alongside the normal boss abilities:
To deal with the Lurker, you will need one Warlock to cast
Fear on it every 20 seconds.
If you don't have any Warlocks in the group, you will have to make a cc rotation to interrupt
Hydro Blast.
During the fight against Jaina Proudmoore, in the Howling Winds intermission, 3 snow mounds will spawn in the frozen area of the fight. Players need to run through the mounds before interrupting Jaina, or the snow will disappear.
Rogues and Demon Hunters are great for this because they can immune, rush through the narrow path, and start looking for the snow right away. Once all 3 mounds have been run through, players carrying the snow should stack near one of the barrels to create a
Frosty Snowmon.
The player targeted with
Broadside should drop this on the barrel, removing its
Refractive Ice buff. Destroy the barrel, and the explosion will melt the
Frosty Snowmon and grant you credit for the achievement.
Defeat the encounter and you'll get the final achievement in Dazar'alor. Congrats!
