The Path to Ascension: Breaching the Tomb
The “Breaching the Tomb” achievement is the key. It’s a comprehensive endeavor requiring you to complete several smaller, linked achievements. Let’s break it down:
1. Legionfall Commander
This is the foundation. You’ll need to establish a foothold on the Broken Shore by building structures and contributing resources to the war effort. Essentially, you need to unlock all the abilities available from the Legionfall Construction Table at Deliverance Point.
2. Assault on Broken Shore
Participate actively in the assaults launched by the Burning Legion across the Broken Shore. Completing these world quests and fending off the demonic incursions is crucial.
3. Champions of Legionfall
You need to recruit and equip your Class Hall champions. This involves sending them on missions and improving their item levels to a minimum of 850. Focus on completing champion equipment missions to reach this threshold quickly.
4. Defender of the Broken Isles
This one is straightforward: complete eight different World Quests in the Broken Isles regions (Azsuna, Highmountain, Stormheim, Suramar, and Val’sharah).
5. Armies of Legionfall
This achievement requires you to recruit troops for your Order Hall and send them on missions. Focus on missions that grant Legionfall War Supplies, as these are used in various other stages of the campaign.
6. Begin Construction
Contribute 100 Legionfall War Supplies to activate a building at Deliverance Point. This ties back to the Legionfall Commander achievement and reinforces the importance of managing your resources effectively.
7. Know Your Enemy
This involves completing various quests to gather intelligence on the Burning Legion. These quests typically involve defeating specific demons, collecting artifacts, or performing reconnaissance.
8. Vile Must Fall
This stage tasks you with defeating specific rare elite creatures on the Broken Shore. These creatures often require a group to defeat, so forming or joining a group is highly recommended.
9. Stand as One
Complete 10 World Quests on the Broken Shore with at least one other player. This encourages cooperative gameplay and provides an opportunity to team up with other players pursuing the same goals.
Reaping the Rewards
Once you complete all the achievements under the “Breaching the Tomb” umbrella, you will be rewarded with the final questline. This questline culminates in a final scenario and, ultimately, unlocks the Zenith Cloud Serpent for your Monk. Enjoy soaring through the skies on your magnificent new mount!
