Realizing Your Potential

Enter Ny'alotha, the Waking City on Normal difficulty or higher. This achievement can be completed solo at max level.

Create a macro with the following text to locate the Promising Specimen throughout the raid: /tar promis then /run SetRaidTarget("target", 8) then /cleartarget then /stopmacro then /ping [@target]. This marks each Promising Specimen with a blue square when you are near one.

Locate all three Promising Specimen before pulling Tek'ris. They appear slightly stealthed and resemble maggots but can be targeted with your macro. They are found in three areas: the hallway corridor just before the Hivemind boss room, the hallway leading to Xanesh, and along the top outer edge of the large maw area near the tentacles at the entrance leading toward Sha'dur. The maw specimen covers the most ground and can be harder to locate.

Click each Promising Specimen to receive a 2-hour buff. There are three distinct buffs, one from each Specimen. All three buffs can be held by a single player — you do not need three separate people. Do not die before pulling the boss, as the buffs are lost on death.

Once all three buffs are active, head to the Hivemind room and pull Tek'ris to begin the encounter.

During the fight, three Evolved Specimen will spawn from the players holding the buffs. Kill all three Evolved Specimen, then defeat the Hivemind to complete the achievement.
