Back from the Beyond

This is a new version of the achievement which is earnable after Shadowlands and rewards the mount Zovaal's Shadwbeast Collar.

The original Feat of Strength, which was only earnable during Shadowlands, is Back from the Beyond (Legacy). This Feat of Strength and the title 'Veilstrider' are no longer obtainable.

This is a 'mega-meta' achievement that brings together all the different activities for an expansion. It does not require high level dungeon or raid participation (just doing mythic 0 and LFR is enough to satisfy that element of the requirement), but does usually require completing most outdoor content, reputations and expansion features, and earning their respective meta achievements.

For people who enjoy overarching goals to work towards, this is a great introduction and a nice way to feel like you 'completed the expansion'. Unlike the original Feat, you can track this in game and monitor your progress. Enjoy!

I did this achievement pretty much from scratch the last month and I wanted to share some tips for people starting from scratch all in one place.

I used 4 alts for this as I needed rep from every covenant and I find it simpler to not switch. As long as your alt is over 70 its fine. ( I hate leveling ) . And assign one alt to the Maw and maw rep (probably your main) and and alt to focus on zerith mortis ( can also be your main but I split it between two )

You will need to get at minimum the following covenant buildings:

Venthyr - Ember Court Level 4
Night Fae - Mushroom Network Level 1 Minimum (Recommend Level 3 for faster rep gain)
Necrolord - Abominable Stitching Level 5, Anima Conductor Level 1
Kyrian- Path of Acsension Level 2

Anima and Cyphers- Farm anima in Zenith Mortis with rares and chests and the 500 anima world quests. I just did laps killing rares and farming treasure. You can also rekill the same rares for anima but it wont give enlightened rep the second time and they didnt come up on rare scanner for me after the first kill but they do respawn. Remember you can transfer anima between alts at the vendor next to the flight master to funnel it to the right alt.

From A to Zereth- After you have done the Zenith Mortis campaign on your chosen character, start doing Cypher of the First ones (The subquest for the achievement) as it takes a few days for some cyphers to unlock and it will block the treasures from Zereth Mortis subquest. Use the currency on the main Cyphers that take the longest as most only take 5 seconds and it will take a while to farm enough currency to unlock all.

Myths of the Shadowlands Dungeons + Fake It 'Til You Make It- If you played shadowlands at the start and have done all the other mythic dungeons apart from Tazavesh or if you just have Tazavesh to unlock, make sure you do these two achievements together as can be done it the same week if you run it on Heroic first then Mythic- youtube.com/watch?v=e6_pQ87vWYY this guide explains it perfectly

On the Offensive - You only need 4 of the subquests to complete this achievemnet but it still will probably require a couple resets. I chose to focus on United Front, Up for Grabs, A Sly Fox and This Army. This Army you can do three people each Necrolord Assault, its written how on the wow head guide. I would read the comments for each of the sub achievements closely as I could have saved myself a week by reading comments first. I was unlucky that some of the others require certain quests that just werent up. Each Covenant assualt has two possible sub achievements to complete.

Shadowlands Dilettante - Necrolord it the longest grind. I would prio this covenant and its subquests first as its weekly reset instead of venthyr ember court which is daily.

Walking in Maw-mphis - You will need 3 people for the rare subquest on this one, I would get this done ASAP by posting in the WOW Achivement discord group or making a group in wow via the Raids Legacy tab. (worked better than the 'Custom' tab for visibility. Just select Molten Core and write Maw Rares or the achievement name Better to Be Lucky Than Dead in the title)

Sanctum Superior- I would recommend Necrolord for the tier 3 sanctum Upgrades as you need the most upgrades at this covenant by the end anyway for the dilettante acheivement.

Finally finished this achievement today! just a few days after finishing A Farewell To Arms too, so here´s my tips and my experiencie doing every achievement required for this, I once again need to clarify that this was not done from scratch, in the sense that I was an active player during the entire shadowlands expansion.

I used a total of 3 toons to finish this, but only because I chose to, my advice would be to do it on 4 separate ones, 1 for every covenant, but since my main character advanced a lot of the necrolords and venthyr content during the expansion, I found it easier and less time consuming to just do both those covenant achievements with my main.

From the easiest and less time consuming ones:

1- Raid achievements for Castle Nathria, Sanctum of Domination and Sepulcher of the 1st ones are very easy to do now during the War Within expansion with a max level toon, the only bosses that do require a bit of knowledge of the encounter are Sire Denathrius, Kel´Thuzad. Sylvanas and the Jailer, the rest you can pretty much just rush down to kill.
2- Dead Men Tell Some Tales: I finished this achievement while it was still current content, with 4 separate toons, so I don´t have any advice for it, you would just have to do all questlines for every covenant
3- Myth of the Shadowlands Dungeons: again, super easy to now with a max level toon in The War Within, you will need to know some mechanics if you have never done some of them but they are very easy to understand
4- Re-Re-Re-Renowned: I also finished this as current content, luckily if you havent, they are very easy to obtain from almost every source of content from the expansion
5- Tower Ranger: Very easy to do now that we outlevel the content, the only ones that I did need to know what to do were the achievements necessary for Master of Torment, as they do require some knowledge of what to do, the rest are super easy if only a bit boring and a little time consuming
6- Chain of Domination: did as current content, just finish the storyline
7- Fake it ´Til you make it: this requires doing the hard mode for Tazavesh, very soloable now, you can do it in the same week just by running it on heroic 1st and then on mythic, look up a guide on Youtube for the whole thing, did have to spend a whole bunch of minutes hitting So´leah in order to kill her since I couldn´t do the mechanic properly but nothing can kill you thankfully
8- Many, Many Things: Did as current content, definitely choose just 1 toon to constantly run Torghast if you need this achievement, I did it exclusively on my main
9- Secret of the First Ones: Did as current content, super easy to do as well

These will take you a bit longer to do:

10- Sanctum Superior: For this you will need to farm a whole bunch of anima, which you should do flying around Zereth Mortis opening every single chest as well as killing the rares, boring but the fastest way to do so, I advice doing this on either the Necrolord or Venthyr toon, as they all need at least 3 or above on their covenant specific activities (Abominable Stitching and Ember Court) which you only need to upgrade to 2 on Kyrian and none at all for Night Fae, you will also need the souls from the Maw which is repeteable thankfully, you only need this on a single covenant, not all 4 of them.
11-From A to Zereth: I did some of Zereth Mortis content while it was still current, but only had the storyline achievement fully completed, managed to quickly complete Dune Dominance as well as both the treasures as well as the adventurer achievements and then the Cyphers, the rep for The Enlightened is definitely the most time consuming part of this whole achievement, as it does take a while to farm it, you will have to go there everyday for a few weeks to knock it out of your list, the Protoform synthesis I found only a bit time consuming, just try to focus on the easiest mounts to obtain the schematics for and the cheapest to craft, wowhead has a lot of good and clear info on everything, just for fun I obtained every single mount from this too
12- On the Offensive: this one is just particularly annoying since you need to wait for every covenant specific assault to change, thankfully you only need 4 of them, the ones I did where United Front, Hoarder of Torghast, The Zovaal Shuffle and Up For Grabs, they are the easiest to do in my opinion and you don´t have to wait for a few weeks or for a specific quest to be up
13- Walking in Maw-mphis: I despised the Maw as current content so I had to do most things from scratch, other than the exploring achievement of course, the one that will require a group to do is the Better to be Lucky Than Dead achievement, you will need 4 players to summon the Herald rares, in my case I set up a group on the LFG tab and somehow got 3 more players very quickly, dont be scared once you have the group you can do it, the other annoying part is farming the Ve´nari Rep but it just takes patience.
14- Shadowlands Dilettante, this one should be your biggest challenge to overcome, as you will need every achievement for all covenants, this is where having 4 separate toons comes in handy, kyrian is the easiest and the only 1 you can finish in a single day just by upgrading your Path of Ascencion to level 2, crafting the items for every boss is super easy to do in a single day and killing them is even easier, then comes the Venthyr, which you can finish in a single week by upgrading the ember court to level 4, the ember court can be done daily and you only need to have every Npc attend the ember court regardless of happiness, you need to level it just to reach honored and obtain the last invitation for Choofa, then for hardest you could with either of the last 2, Night Fae was the last one I needed to finish everything, only because the Merasmius Rep takes a whole bunch of weeks of dailies to reach exalted, but the quests are super easy to do, just upgrade the travel network to level 3 so you can do 3 dailies everyday, but the hardest and most time consuming is for sure Necrolords, as 1st of all you will need level 5 for this and that means a whole lot of flying around Zereth Mortis for anima for every upgrade, once you have that the part that makes this difficult is obtaining the Superior Parts, you obtain them from the NPC quest every week and the quest are on a weekly lockout, therefore you have to wait a whole bunch of weeks to finish them every single week in order to both craft everything needed as well as doing every quest needed as well, be prepared as the Things to Do When You´re Dead achievement is a whole test of your patience, but otherwise it is very clear on how to do.

Let me know if any info provided needs to be updated but otherwise good luck everybody! This super cool mount was definitely worth it :)
