"Lights Out" is a vehicle-esk world quest that can spawn when the Drustvar incursion is up. It requires you to take control of a soul, which you navigate towards Arom Strand to fill a progress bar, by killing Alliance soldiers, and then kill a commander.
When you first click the mask to start the quest you will be stationary. As soon as you press the '1' action button, your soul will start moving forward and you will only be able to turn it. The '2' action key becomes available at this point, which will instantly detonate the soul, killing it and everything nearby.
The achievement requires you to complete this world quest using a single soul only.
Some things to note:
- Never press the detonate button to kill the Alliance soldiers. You will fail the achievement. You will only use it to kill the commander at the end.
- Simply passing through the Alliance soldiers will 'scare them to death' and give you 2% progress per solider - so you need to scare 50 soldiers to fill the bar.
- If you hit any of the wooden or holy barriers you will detonate on them. Go around them, giving yourself plenty of space if possible.
- If you want to play it really safe, you can stick to only passing through the Alliance soldiers on patrol as they pose the least risk of you hitting a barrier.
- The commander can be tricky to get to without detonating on the barrier, but I was able to squeeze around the outside of it just to the left of the barrier, behind a tree.Your aim is to go through 50 Alliance soldiers without exploding on a barrier and after reaching 100% progress, to go and detonate on the commander. That will complete the world quest with one soul and grant you the achievement.
As a bit of extra info; Occasionally your soul may just randomly explode for no apparent reason. This is unfortunately just bad luck as it means a barrier has just respawned right under you.
Good luck. This is a bit of a finicky achievement. If you fail, remember you only need a 110 horde player to attempt this world quest. So alts come in very handy (not sure about class trials if you wanna go that route)
Edit: Currently the 'Toggle Run/Walk' button (default on the keyboard is " NumPad / ") will allow you to slow the soul down to a crawl, completely trivializing this achievement. This is obviously not intended, so may be hotfixed any day now.

You can use your toggle run/walk keybind for this one.
Besides, you're not in any hurry so you can run in circles until u feel safe about moving further because of all those respawning barriers.
Respawns are 30 seconds or something close to that.
As others have said, the trick to getting this achieve is to use the RP walk toggle after you get into your Doomsoul to make this a lot easier for yourself.
Run around and get the patrolling groups only. Do NOT go for any stationary mobs near any form of fencing or barricade. Just wait for the patrol packs to respawn (they respawn quickly) and run around in circles till you fill the bar. Then head north on the left side of the WQ area near the river to bypass the barricades. First you'll pass a tree stump, then you'll be faced with getting to the commander who is behind a full length barricade. The trick to getting to him is once again on the left side. Head to the base of the cliff and you should be able to squeeze through in-between a couple trees and the rock face. Once passed, just nuke the commander and you're done!
