Difficult to Solo even at Level 120 Battle for Azeroth and beyond, and you are required to have a pet with aggro...

1) Normal Difficulty

2) Maggot's spawn during the fight, use /Tar Maggot and mark them with a skull so you can easily find them.

3) Begin Fight with your pet attacking butcher but then being passive, pet just needs aggro. Do not attack Butcher at all.

4) You have to be on the other side of the fight zone (without your pet despawning due to the range) to avoid cleave stacks.

5) Once a maggot is located, order your pet to your side and run towards the maggot. The Butcher will kill the maggot.

6) Make sure your pet stays where the maggot died, while you run as fast as you can to the other side of the fight zone.

7) Let cleave stacks drop off.

8) Target another maggot, rinse & repeat the above, once you have all six you are good to go.

9) Kill Butcher.

10) Profit. Achievement Completed.

My guild completed this achievement successfully tonight. Here's what we learned:

Best way to do this was just spam the macro as soon as the fight starts, then have the tank drag Butcher over to where your marked maggot is and turn him away from it. Then have your dps group that will be soaking cleave stand on the maggot. As soon as the cleave goes off and kills the maggot, spam the macro again. It'll find the next maggot even from across the arena. Rinse and repeat until your macro doesn't find anymore maggots, then you can kill the boss and ding the achievement.

The macro posted by Sameri was super helpful. Here's the macro again:

/target Maggot
/script SetRaidTarget("target",8);

You just need one person who is responsible to set this up.

Helpful tips:

1. You can't taunt or grip the maggots in, the only thing you can do is target/mark them. They're immune to player damage or attacks. You have to run Butcher to them for this achievement.

2. You can't just wait for bounding cleaves to kill the maggots, you'll run into enrage timer before he does 6 that way.

3. You might want to bring extra heals since all the running around for the maggots will prolong the fight more than you're used to and there's no dps pressure since you have all that extra time.

4. This is obvious, but don't push him below 30% until the last maggot is killed.

5. Super important - if you're tracking the achievement it will not turn yellow when the 6th maggot is killed. I just ran around the arena to make sure the macro didn't pick up anymore maggots and then we went ahead and killed the boss and got the cheevo. I'm pretty sure one of his cleaves killed two maggots.

6. We saw maggots in both pools of water (north and south) and against the west wall near the ribs. Be prepared to run pretty far to get each maggot cleaved down.

Good luck!
