Where: The Azure Vault

  1. Defeat 9 Geode ChunksMillenia ago, Umbrelskul unwittingly meddled with raw arcane power. Riddled with crystalline growths, he was taken to the Azure Vault until a cure could be found. Sadly, the Vault was sealed away before the research was completed, leaving Umbrelskul sleeping in stasis... until now.

About The Azure Vault

Long ago, Malygos created the Azure Vault as a place for Sindragosa to catalogue and store any curious magical artifacts he found. Locked away and deserted millennia ago, the Vault has since fallen into disrepair, leaving it vulnerable to attacks from without... and within.

From the in-game Adventure Guide.

To get this Achievement, you'll see three purple "ores" or geodes, laying around the edge of the room. They'll be purple and look something in terms of an ore deposit. Have the tank pull the dragon to each location, and let the boss throw Dragon Strike, hitting the geode. This will spawn x3 small things that you need to kill. Do this on all three chunks and you'll have the achivement done.

We let the tank complete his lap with doing them all first, then pop'd cds and BL and killed the boss in regular fashion. Good luck!

Criteria:
Defeat Umbrelskul after smashing Shimmering Geodes with Dragon Strike and destroying 9 Geode Chunks in The Azure Vault on Mythic difficulty.

Strategy:
This is another achievement for the tanks. Around the room are three very bright purple geodes. The tank will need to position the boss in front of these, allowing them to be struck with Dragon Strike. Once struck, the geodes will break and three geode chunks will spawn. DPS these down, and rinse and repeat two more times. Once all 9 geodes are eliminated, defeat the boss as normal.
