This achievement is awarded for completig Mechagon on Hard mode. If nobody dies, Hertz Locker will be awarded too.
[item=168830] will be awarded to one player of the group, alongside an azerite 430 ilvl item.
Activating Hard mode:
- The [npc=150190] hovers over one of the first three bosses when you enter the dungeon. Normally, you would head to whatever boss doesn't have the HK-8 Aerial Oppression Unit over it, but for hard mode you must defeat each of the first three bosses while HK-8 Aerial Oppression Unit is over it!
This causes you to have to deal with Walkie Shockie X1 robots during the fight, which are immune to damage (but not crowd control) and slowly follow random players while using Static Discharge. Upon reaching full energy they will self destruct.- Upon defeating the first three bosses while [npc=150190] is above them, you will head to fight the aerial unit. This fight will replace the normal [npc=150295] with a [npc=155760], a harder hitting mob that also uses a move called Fulminating Burst, which adds a stacking mechanic throughout the fight.
The Walkie Shockie X1 robots you dealt with in the first three bosses return in this fight as Walkie Shockie X2 robots, which function the same but also have beams that connect between them which hurt when walked through.
The final change is reduced time to complete the hack in phase 2.- After defeating [npc=150190] you can continue the dungeon until you get to K.U.-J.0.
There will be a clickable pile of robo-waste on the ground that you must click before engaging the boss.
The only change to this fight is the addition of [spell=301850], which adds a stacking slow.- The final part of hard mode involves the fight with King Mechagon.
There will be a small red button on a pedestal that must be clicked before the encounter.
Clicking the button will add a robot to the fight that does nothing but deplete its own energy bar over the course of the fight from 100 to 0. Upon reaching 0 energy, the party will instantly wipe.
To counter this, there are 4 panels around the room that will activate when the robot reaches 35 energy, roughly every 45 seconds.
These panels will all display a color and icon in a random order before flashing a red skull and activating an input sequence just before the final 10 energy countdown.
4 members of the group must each stand at one of these panels just before the input sequence and click them in the correct order that they lit up in to bring the robot's energy back to 100 and start the process over until the boss is defeated.

How to solo Mechagon Hard Mode at 70:
1) Kill each of the first 3 bosses while HK-8 Aerial Oppression Unit is patrolling their area.
2) Kill HK-8 Aerial Oppression Unit:
- In hard mode, you don't have enough time to hack the towers before Annihilation finishes casting.
- To survive, run back to Rustbolt as soon as Tank Buster MK2 dies. (Facing Rustbolt, enter from the left, or you risk leaving via the huge instance portal).
- The most consistent place to stand, in my experience, is in the inn area. right on top of Niru Datagear.
- As soon as the Annihilation cast finishes, jump off the Rustbolt platform, toward the boss. Close the distance between you and the boss ASAP.
- If done correctly, the boss won't reset, and will instead begin chasing you. This will happen very shortly after leaving Rustbolt.
- Now you're home free. Hack the tower as normal, and kill the boss.
--- If he resets (or Annihilation kills you), you can try again as many times as needed.3) Before pulling K.U-J.0:
- Click the Robo-Waste pile in the boss room (on your left as you approach). It should fly into the furnace.
- Kill K.U.-J.0.
- Proceed to the final boss as normal.4) Before pulling King Mechagon, the final boss:
- If all other steps were followed, there should be a pedestal with a red button in the middle of the boss room.
- DO NOT CLICK THE BUTTON YET
- Pull the boss out of the room, and he will reset.
- Spam any instant-cast ability you have, such that you pull the boss immediately when he respawns.
- If done correctly, after some animations, the button will reappear and be clickable during the fight.
--- If the button isn't clickable a few seconds after pulling, reset the fight again. You can retry this as many times as needed.
- Click the button at any time before killing the boss (in phase 2). You can lower his health in phase 2 as much as you like before clicking the button, but it's generally not needed. You have about 45 seconds - 1 minute after clicking the button to kill the boss.
- Kill the boss.
