On the platforms in the south and the north there are 5 untargetable mobs, which spawn when you begin the fight. In order to kill them, you have to move the Boss close to the wall and group up right before barrage is about to happen. If done correctly, the mobs will die from the barrage damage in one cast.

Where: Hellfire Citadel
- Kill 10 Hellfire Guardians and defeat Iron ReaverThe schematics for the Iron Reaver were found in the workshop of Blackfuse himself after the fall of Orgrimmar, drawing inspiration from the mighty constructs of the Legion and designed to be the nefarious goblin's masterwork. The project was completed after his death, and represents the pinnacle of the Iron Horde's military might.

About Hellfire Citadel
When Garrosh encouraged Grommash to begin construction of this massive stronghold at the heart of Tanaan Jungle, to serve as a staging ground for the assault of Azeroth, he even suggested the name Hellfire, pulled from a different time and a different land. He dreamed of seeing mighty orcish iron towering over an unblighted landscape, so very different from the wasteland he had known in Outland. But even as times change, so too do they stay the same.
From the in-game Adventure Guide.

Easy Achievement for Level 120 Battle for Azeroth and beyond...
1) Normal Difficulty.
2) Begin fight, then make sure that the Hellfire Guardians are standing on top of the walls on the north and south side, there should be 5 on each wall, for a total of 10.
3) Situate yourself between the boss and the Guardians and eventually boss will cast Barrage. I had a pet, so it was easy to keep aggro on boss and tell pet where to stand. The barrage is what kills the guardians on the wall.
4) Get the five down on the one side, and then run to the other side and get the 5 down there. The achievement will turn white when it's complete.
5) Nuke down boss after all Guardians killed.
6) Profit. Achievement Completed.
Crazy easy at max level. Just run into the boss, no need to attack, then bring it over to the Northern wall. It'll cast Barrage which will kill the guys on top of the walls. Repeat until one side is done, then head over to the Southern wall and rinse and repeat!
