About The Nighthold

The largest structure in the Broken Isles, and among the grandest in all of Azeroth, the Nighthold stands as a testament to the achievements of the nightborne civilization. Centered around the Nightwell, the fount of arcane power that has sustained Suramar for centuries, these grounds were built as a haven from the worries of the world. But as a felstorm churns above the former temple of Elune across the bay, and Gul'dan himself now resides within the palace's walls, those worries now begin, not end, here.

From the in-game Adventure Guide.

So just did this solo on my ilvl 236 balance druid in shadowlands in mythic. This required quite a bit of luck to get and there was some confusing aspects of it.

Kriellya posted crucial information that led to the success and reception of this achievement and so a lot of this will be mirrored but I am also adding my own experience and information to it.

There are blue circles around the path the boss goes around. You will be given a time bomb and when it goes off, you need to be standing in one of these circles. You need to do this for as many time bombs as you get from the boss and then dps down the boss and you get the achievement.

At the start, you need to aggro the boss but do not dps him down or anything, just hit him once or taunt him to start attacking you. Try to be on one of the blue circles or close to it when you do this.

You will receive a time bomb, stand on the blue circle and wait for it to go off. If you're lucky, he'll only give you one before he goes into power overwhelming. If you're unlucky he'll give you two and it doesn't stack, and you're %^&* out of luck and you can just dps down the boss or reset the fight by killing your character.

If you're very lucky, he'll give you one with a short duration, you'll set it off on a blue circle and then he'll give you another one before he goes into power overwhelming.

As Kriellya said, do not remove him from power overwhelming when you have chronometric particles or time bomb on you, otherwise you will be instakilled. Let both of those dissipate before you remove him from power overwhelming.

When you've applied the time bomb to one circle, move to the next one and set it off. Keep doing this for AS MANY AS HE DROPS.

This is where the confusion comes in, the achievement clearly says "light up all the spotlights" which in my mind was all the blue circles. Turns out this isn't the case, you just need to do it for as many time bombs as he drops. I managed to do all but 4 circles and then he went into full power mode and started running around the whole area. I just decided to dps him down, thinking I had lost the achievement. After he died, it popped randomly!

All the best for everyone trying to go for this solo in SL. You can do it, you don't really need heals, I didn't do any on my druid, and you don't need a pet class.

Me and my guild found something.

You need to detonate the debuff [spell=206618] on the purple/blue circles on the floor around the nightwell.

It will make a pillar of light appear on the circles.

We cant get enough of them before enrage timer, so we still might be missing something or maybe its bugged.

Attempted with 30 people, most above 880 on normal.
