Defeat Xy'mox with all players under the effects of pilfered artifacts in the Sepulcher of the First Ones on Normal difficulty or higher.

Xy Never, Ever Marks the Spot. requires defeating Artificer Xy'mox in the Sepulcher of the First Ones on Normal difficulty or higher while every player in the raid carries all three pilfered artifact debuffs simultaneously.

1

Enter and pull Xy'mox

Enter the Sepulcher of the First Ones and engage Artificer Xy'mox. Three platforms in the encounter area each hold an artifact that spawns at specific health thresholds: one on the pull, one at 75%, and one at 50% while the boss is immune.

2

Assign players to artifacts

Assign dedicated players to collect each artifact as it spawns. Only one player needs to interact with each artifact, but the debuff it applies transfers to all players. Demon Hunters are recommended for this role due to their mobility, as a movement ability is required to reach each platform.

3

Collect all three debuffs

The three debuffs applied are Unstable Ephemera (a scaling damage-over-time effect), Crippling Ephemera (a 30% movement speed reduction), and Enfeebling Ephemera (a 25% maximum health reduction). All three must be active on every player when Xy'mox dies.

4

Avoid slow-removing abilities

Do not use any ability that removes movement speed reductions while Crippling Ephemera is active, as this will remove that debuff and fail the achievement. Abilities confirmed to cause failure include Freedom, Bladestorm, Posthaste, and Druid Shapeshifting. As of the June 6 hotfix, Blizzard fixed an issue where Crippling Ephemera could be prematurely removed, so this behavior may now be more forgiving than it previously was.

5

Defeat Xy'mox with all debuffs active

With all three debuffs on every player, push Xy'mox to zero health. Dying during the fight does not remove the debuffs, so the achievement is not lost if a player dies as long as they still carry all three when the boss is defeated.

Tips

  • Run the encounter with a smaller group to reduce chaos and make artifact assignment more manageable.

  • With Enfeebling Ephemera reducing maximum health by 25%, avoid mechanics that can one-shot players during the final push.
