Ritualist Who?

There's some correct info and some incorrect info posted here. I've been working on this achievement a lot the past few days and have nailed a few things down. You do not have to wait the full hour or the 60-65 minutes Mapekz suggests below. The shortest reset time I have had so far is at about 31 minutes. I'll try to narrow that down closer later, it may be a little less than 31 minutes. -Edit: Down from 60 minutes to 50 minutes, 45 minutes and now to 31 minutes minimum time between resets. Just tried 30 minutes and there was no reset yet so it's somewhere between 30 and 31.

You do not have to list a group under Raids (Legacy) or any of the other things Mapekz mentions below.

My reset times are calculated from the exact time the character selection screen comes up after logging out to the exact time I start loading that character back in (I made notes on the time to the second). I do not know what will happen if you sit there for a while after killing the Ritualists. I log out immediately after killing the 6th Ritualist. Reset times may start when the 6th Ritualist dies regardless of when you log out, I don't know yet. I may try sitting there for a while before logging out to see what happens. -Edit: I stayed logged in 15 minutes after killing the Ritualists then logged out. Logging in 35 minutes after the 6th one died did not result in a reset. It appears that the reset timer starts counting down when you log off so logging off as soon as possible is recommended and start timing when you get to the selection screen.

I have simply been clearing ToT to the Animus room, then opening the doors and killing the 2 Guards just inside and then carefully pulling and killing the 6 Ritualists outside the door to avoid targeting and inadvertently attacking the Anima Orb. You can't hit the orb while the Ritualists are still alive but if you're out of range when they die you won't hit the Anima Orb by mistake. Hunters know what I mean. ; ) Once they are down I log out at the top of the stairs outside the doors to the room and log back in later (about 31 minutes). Unless you have the exact time you logged out down to the second I recommend going with 32 - 35.

DO NOT ATTACK THE ANIMA ORB! If you kill it you will not get a reset again. If you attack it accidentally, invis, shadowmeld, FD or use some method to get out of combat immediately. Killing the Anima Orb will prevent the Ritualists from resetting again until your lockout expires.

When you log back in YOU DO NOT HAVE TO RUN ALL THE WAY BACK. If you wait more than 60 minutes you'll be just inside ToT where you initially zone in. If you log back in less than 50 minutes later you should be on the stairs near the Animus room. If you wind up at the entrance, simply zone out of ToT using the swirly portal then zone back in and you will pop up on the stairs directly across from the Dark Animus room doors and thus avoiding the long 7+ minute run from the ToT entrance to the Animus room.

WARNING! If you log back in before the Ritualists are reset, the doors to the room will still be open and you'll be able to see into the Animus room and no new Ritualists will be up. If this happens you will need to RESTART your reset timer all over again and wait at least 31 minutes again for another reset.

Keep doing this until you have killed all the Ritualists on the list (obviously). You will probably get stuck with one last Ritualist to go for many resets. Don't give up, eventually he'll spawn.

Good luck everybody. I have one last Ritualist left (Thal) and then I'll get the Meta Achievement and my mount. I hope this post helps you get yours.

P.S. If you're a coder, use tabs not spaces. ;)

It's possible to do a manual reset of the instance and then get different ritualists, and repeat this until you get all the ones you need. We did this tonight when we were missing 3 of them.

Easy Achievement for Level 120 Battle for Azeroth and beyond, and should be doable in a single instance ID...

1. Normal/Heroic Difficulty and doable on only one character.

2. Clear instance bosses up to Dark Animus' chamber.

3. Single target pull adds away from the Orb in the middle.

4. Do not kill the orb whatever you do.

5. Kill the mobs you just pulled, check your achievement tab to see which ones you still need.

6. Log off for 31+ minutes. Then log back in.

7. The Ritualists have reset, but with different names. Zone out and zone back in and you can easily run to the Dark Animus' chamber much quicker.

8. Single target pull the mobs away from the Orb in the middle, then kill the adds.

9. Rinse and Repeat the above until you have all the Ritualist names checked off on your achievement tab.

10. ?

11. Profit. Achievement Completed.
