Burning Bright
Redeem Kael'thas after lighting all four of the room's braziers in Castle Nathria on Normal difficulty or higher.
Burning Bright is a 10-point achievement earned by lighting all four braziers in the Shade of Kael'thas encounter inside Castle Nathria on Normal difficulty or higher, then defeating him.
Clear the Boss Room
Enter Castle Nathria and kill High Torturer Darithos along with any remaining trash in the boss room before the encounter begins.
Enter Phase 2
The achievement can only be completed during phase 2, when the Shade of Kael'thas becomes active. When he descends from his pedestal and summons phoenixes, do not kill the boss or the phoenixes yet.
Light the Fiery Brazier
The Fiery Brazier sits in one corner of the room and must be hit by Fiery Strike. Position yourself or the boss so that Fiery Strike connects with the brazier to light it.
Light the Blazing Brazier
The Blazing Brazier must be hit by Blazing Surge. On Normal difficulty, Blazing Surge always targets the current tank, so stand between the boss and this brazier to light it.
Light the Embered Brazier
The Embered Brazier must be hit by Ember Blast. Position yourself near this brazier so the Ember Blast connects with it.
Light the Smoldering Brazier
The Smoldering Brazier is lit by Smoldering Remnants, which are left behind by a Reborn Phoenix. Kite or kill a phoenix directly on top of this brazier so the Smoldering Plumage it drops lights it.
Kill the Shade of Kael'thas
Once all four braziers are lit, defeat the Shade of Kael'thas to earn the achievement. Bring a healing ability, potion, or bandage, as some of the boss's spells hit hard and bypass shields.
Tips
This encounter is soloable at level 80. A Protection Paladin can use Lay on Hands and similar self-heals to survive the harder-hitting spells.
One reported solo order is Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Right, then Bottom Left, saving the phoenix-lit brazier for last so you can kill the phoenix directly on top of it.
