Took the Red Eye Down
Defeat Il'gynoth in The Emerald Nightmare after inflicting 20 Nightmare Explosions on the Eye of Il'gynoth within 10 seconds on Normal difficulty or higher.
Took the Red Eye Down is a 10-point achievement earned by defeating Il'gynoth in The Emerald Nightmare after triggering 20 Nightmare Explosions on the Eye of Il'gynoth within 10 seconds on Normal difficulty or higher.
Enter on Normal Difficulty
Enter The Emerald Nightmare on Normal difficulty or higher and begin the Il'gynoth encounter, dealing minimal opening damage to Il'gynoth itself.
Kill Tentacles, Spare Ichors
Kill all tentacles and horror-type enemies during phase 1 — Dominator Tentacles, Deathglare Tentacles, Nightmare Horrors, and Corruptor Tentacles — but do not attack the red blob Nightmare Ichors that spawn from each kill. Nightmare Ichors have very low health at max level, so remove any AoE-triggering trinkets before the fight to avoid accidentally killing them.
Kite and Accumulate Ichors
Kite the Nightmare Ichors around the full arena using the entire space available, aiming to accumulate at least 20 and ideally 22–27 before proceeding. The full first-phase spawn order — Dominator x2, Deathglare x1, Nightmare Horror x1, Corruptor x2, Deathglare x2 — yields exactly 20 Ichors, so clearing all spawns in order confirms you have enough.
Cluster Ichors Under the Eye
Once you have at least 20 Nightmare Ichors, herd them into a tight cluster directly in front of or under the Eye of Il'gynoth, then use a single AoE ability to detonate all of them simultaneously within 10 seconds.
Survive the Explosions
The combined explosions deal heavy damage, so use defensive and healing cooldowns immediately, then step away from the blasts. If done correctly, the Eye opens and the fight transitions to phase 2.
Defeat Il'gynoth
Enter the eye and kill Il'gynoth in phase 2 to complete the encounter and earn the achievement.
Tips
A macro can help you count Nightmare Ichors on screen:
/run local t,c="Nightmare Ichor",0 for i=1,10000 do local p=C_NamePlate.GetNamePlateForUnit("nameplate"..i) if p and p:IsVisible() and p:GetChildren():GetRegions():GetText()==t then c=c+1 end end print(t,":",c)See the video guide at https://youtu.be/7YOPeYiVudY for a visual walkthrough of the Ichor kiting and detonation step.
