Just a note, if you do not pick up the vial pretty quickly after the debuff wears off, it will despawn, and you will have to reset the boss and start over.
Here's a tip for anyone doing this achievement in Dragonflight & Beyond.
Once you put the [spell=333162] into one of the cauldrons, the potion will *STAY AT THE SAME CAULDRON* you deposited it into. You will then get a 59 second debuff called Volatile coating [spell=333252] which means you can't carry the potion again for that time. Be warned, the potion will despawn after about 66 seconds, so there is a 6-7 second window in which you need to pick up the [spell=333162] again and take it to a new cauldron.
This means it should take you about 4 1/2 minutes to fill every cauldron with the [spell=333162]. Simply kill the Volatile Slime twice, kill the boss and you'll have your Going Viral achievement!
