Glory of the War Within Delver

The fact that the Nemesis achievement seems to be seasonal implies this is a seasonal reward? i.e. the dreaded FOMO 😤

Some initial tips as someone who has earnt this achievement in the first week of Season 1. Please bear in mind this is all current as of 15/09/2024, so it’s prone to changes through future hotfixes.

War Within Delves: Tier 8
If you’re going solo, I would recommend either using a tank class (I personally used Protection Warrior) or a pet class (e.g. BM Hunter with a Clefthoof to tank for you). You’ll still earn credit towards this achievement if it’s done in a group.

If you’re not a tank and do not have a pet class, this is still doable as long as you take your time especially if you’re undergeared. Use CC if you need to, be realistic with your pulls and see what works best between you and Brann synergistically.

As of today 15/09/2024, the easiest delve to earn this achievement is Tak-Rethan Abyss as you generally have much smaller packs of mobs in small controlled clusters (i.e. less likely to overpull accidentally). I used Draenic Water Breathing Elixir to completely bypass the breathing mechanic.

Delve Loremaster:
Delves rotate on a daily basis, so make a habit of checking which story variant is available for all delves in each zone. For non-bountiful delves I’d suggest just whacking through a Tier 1 to get it out of the way quickly.

Leave No Treasure Unfound:
The HandyNotes: The War Within addon will make this achievement much easier to earn. Also, there’s a useful guide from Neryssa here which provides you with the maps and coordinates to help you find the treasures. For those unaware (like myself), these are one-time treasures and will always be in the same location in their respective delve.

I got lucky and personally had to wait for single treasure which was locked behind a specific story variant of The Spiral Weave called "From the Weaver with Love". I am not aware of any others, but please comment below if you’ve found other treasures like this.

Sporesweeper:
In any Fungarian delve (e.g. Fungal Folly on Isle of Dorn) you can use the spores to deal the majority of the damage to packs, but just make sure you’re quick to get out of the AOE zone before it explodes. If possible, stun the Fungarian mobs and quickly dps down the spore for a very satisfying little explosion. If you’re melee, this achievement is all about timing your movement out of the explosion radius. Ranged will have a much easier time earning this. I suggest doing this achievement in Fungal Folly as there's a lot of room for you to either dodge the explosions or avoid the spores altogether.

I TAKE Candle:
Simple one here. Drop the enchanted candle or air totem and pull the mobs towards you.

Just Keep Swimming:
As I mentioned above, you can use a breathing elixir like Draenic Water Breathing Elixir and this will count towards the achievement. Walking through the bubbles will give you a nice little movement speed boost, so it’s still worth using them when you can.

Spider Senses:
Honestly, the best advice for this achievement is to take your time. The easiest delve and story variant for this achievement is Earthcrawl Mines; Fiery Grounds as you get given a flamethrower which can be used on the webs to clear a path for yourself.

Daystormer:
Avoid the purple rings in any Order of the Night delve (e.g. Nightfall Sanctum). As of 15/09/2024 you can step into the circle without setting off the artillery fire if you’re stealthed, but it’s probably best you don’t try this (just to be on the safe side). There is a story variant in Nightfall Sanctum called "Signal Noise" that allows you to move the purple circles, making this achievement significantly easier to earn.

Nemesis:
As of 15/09/2024, this fight is overtuned but doable in a highly-geared group (we were roughly 600-603 ilvl). We ignored the cocoons and focused solely on Zek’vir. The tank interrupted the boss and the DPS CC’d the spiders on rotation, and then interrupted them after that. Avoid the frontals and stay out of the fear zone (was roughly 15 yards). I expect there to be some significant changes to this fight in the near future.

Brann Development:
Brann will naturally gain EXP as you run through Delves, so as you’re working on the achievements above you’ll passively complete this. As of 15/09/2024, Brann will not gain EXP from non-bountiful Delves after reaching level 15. If you want to rush through this, run bountiful delves on your alts, otherwise you can just wait for the daily delve rotation.

I hope this was useful to you all. If you have any other tips please comment below to help our fellow TWW Season 1 Glory of the Delver gamers :)

For anyone confused about the My First Nemesis part of the achievement, it's not required and can't even be done anyways since it's a TWW Season 1 only achievement, so you'll only need to finish the other achievements as well as doing the Nemesis achievement for the current season, which is My New Nemesis for TWW Season 2 but would be something else in Season 3.
