About Neltharus
Beneath the Obsidian Citadel lies Neltharus, home of the black dragonflight's hoard and the secrets behind their legendary forging. When the djaradin woke from their slumber, they chose Neltharus as the point of entry for their attack. Surprised to find it deserted, they quickly laid claim to its secrets for themselves... as well as the rest of the Obsidian Citadel.

Got this achievement august 1, 2025,
so i cant confirm 100% but i tried this 3 separate times, first just burned him down in a few seconds without getting hit by anything ...no achievement i thought it was a fluke so i did it again later on, same thing few seconds burn once again nothing.... so tried a different approach clear the mobs just for room and visibility and just fight him in the open and make sure he casts atleast all of the abilities once and dodge them. the heated swing only the aoe last hit is the one to dodge, the swirlies are easy enough and it didnt seem like being solo he cast anything else. after 30-40 seconds of fight time and him casting his rotation finished him off and it popped. my guess is he cant be burned super fast and actually has to cast the abilities then you actively have to dodge them, just incase anyone was in the same boat as me.
Tried this achievement yesterday 2 times.
Noone got the achievement despite noone being hit by a single mechanic (even by damage taken logs).
The only thing both our runs had in common is that we bursted the boss with 4 dps 1 tank and we reset the dungeon before we got to the boss.
