Hello,
I was going to write down how to avoid spells from Remants but they just nerfed all spell damage on all missions on today's patch (2024-12-5).

Anyway, the Silence from [54643] Malicious Eye still happens, so I recommend that you DA your healer when emoted (on first stage, when Remants aren't active) and kill remants and give Lenses to healers>tank>dps at latter stage. Bascially when Remants are active you kill them for lenses, when they are passives at early stage just ignore them and DA your healer throught the emote.
The silence is still 60 seconds, and altho they reduced the spell damage from all missions by like 1/5 of what they were, if you don't have any sort of self healing adds may kill you.

Your tank isn't going to get Blind emote if tanking the boss, but the trick that I propose you will have your pets on aggro on MT, so your tank may get silenced.. Since today patch it isn't a blind so your tank isn't a headless chicken anymore. But, you would say... why pets on boss?

If you are tired of being summoned around when boss ports, the easy way to fix is to have your pets turn taunt on and tank boss.

This is the most important thing to keep in mind on ToB Missions: bosses aren't immune pet aggro.

This means your pets and swarm pets can tank everything.

So, during this mission, you keep pet tanking the boss, healing it, while your tank toon tanks the adds while your other group members are clearing adds. Once adds die, you swap to boss. Once adds spawn, you fd your tank or just let the pet get aggro back. Usually at the last stage I just go on clearing adds and pets/swarmpets are doing the boss dps. If I turn all my group dps to boss I will spawn many adds.

Like all other missions on this expansion: You need to go slow on dps if you can't handle adds. The only mission you can try burning is Brood architect since it forces a phase swap and you have some kind of breakdown that will interrupt it cascading and netting you too much adds.

Good luck and have fun!
 
Like you said its all about the adds. Very easy to over dps the boss and get overwhelmed on adds.
On this mission its something like 2 mobs every 1% after 20%.
 
How does one achieve this?

What is the "Final Battle". Him at 8%? Cause I am smoking all the red blobs as they spawn and still have yet to get this achieve.

Kill slowly. Its VERY easy to accidentally kill the boss before the last 2 remnants pop. You need to wait for them to pop, and kill them, then kill the boss.
 
Gotten this cheeve every time, so far.

Way I have done it, is very slowly beat on boss - no caster dots/melee dps on him. The only person DPSing the boss is my tank.
You can kill remnants before the.. 30? 40? 50? phase, but they never aggro or engage you. Somewhere between 30 and 50, remnants will start spawning and engage you. From here out, I put all DPS on remnants, then the energizer bunnies that spawn.. Remnants will take priority so i ensure they're dead, then the enrgists. After those are dead, i'll beat on the boss some. It's a rinse repeat after that. When I'm focused on the adds, I make sure the boss is hitting my back, though.
 
i end up killing all Remnants i seen and i got the ach
just have to do it fast as soon as they pop up
 
I meant they all have to die to get the achv?
Only the ones that go aggro. Which happens sometime after 50% iirc. Prior to that they spawn and are non aggro and wander off - they also dont drop (or didn't) the blocker until they start aggroing you. that was when i started killing them first to get the cheeve

Should note that was done in the pre-nerf version. Haven't tried it since they fixed the mission.
 
I'm clearly doing something wrong on this, even though I ensure all remnants are dead before I kill the boss.

I did get the achievement once but have failed lately (and I still need it on one toon). Lately, there are 2 that seem to spawn when he is at about 2% - which I think is too late. I guess on my next try I will try to stop any damage to him at 5% or maybe 10% and just wait to see if they pop sooner than 2%.

I'll just have to try to go slower - maybe they are popping at 5% but he drops to 2% too fast. It's a little confusing (but just killing all remnants before the boss dies is clearly not enough and it's frustrating!).
 
I finally got the remnant achievement this morning (I had one toon that still needed it). Basically, I just paused everyone except my tank and heals from about 30% and took it very slowly. On the last spawn, I left an energist up until all remnants were dead (some spawn around 2%), then killed the last energist, then the boss. Watch pets, watch anything damaging the boss. It was frustrating but this seemed to work.
 
seems bugged- i've done it twice where all the remnants are dead and no cheese...

Hello,

For the achievement, you only need to kill the passive remnants, which happen on the first phases of the Fight (while boss is going inactive and roaming in circles).

Passive Remnants come in waves of two.

Their loot doesn't go to adv window since they are passive, so you must loot the corpse (and give a lense to your healer or whoever you don't want to be silenced).

Actually, if the achievement text is correct, you only need to kill the passive remnants that spawn the second time he goes inactive. I can confirm that I didn't kill the first two ones, only the second wave.

This passive remnants explode after some time, causing an AE dot. This is the same dot you get you when you kill them. So likely you 'll be always having the dot, but they nerfed the dot and it doesn't do damage anymore.

The Active Remnants don't count for the achievement, or atleast didn't count for me when I did it.

Good luck.
 
Sounds like I'm going to have to send my SK with 5 healers and limp dick this mission to get that achievement
 
It's really not bad, but it seems like several of us have had different experiences with it.

I did it with a NoS era raid geared SK, and healing with a shaman was never an issue. Defensive discs if adds stack up, but if you're slow rolling it they won't. Whatever you use, ka, rgm, cwtn, modbot, etc, find a setting to flag the boss as not a valid target for melee or nukes or dots, that way just your tank can slowly grind it down and control the add wave spawns. Your tank/dps switches to the adds soon as they spawn, and it'll be real smooth.

Try to keep your tanks back to the boss, drop your DS if needed as well.

This list has been modified during patch, disregard.
 
So got this today. Had to hold "The Custodian" at 2% for quite awhile to get the last two remnants to spawn. Was a bitch, cause I killed "The Custodian" before I killed the last remnant. So rinse, repeat killed both Remnants (lens appeared in loot window for both kills) and got the Achv. Good luck out there!
