Glory of the Ulduar Raider (10 player)

Enter Ulduar on 10-player difficulty. At max level this can be completed with a small group, as demonstrated by 8 players clearing it during Cataclysm. Not every achievement available inside Ulduar is required for the meta — only the specific sub-achievements listed under Glory of the Ulduar Raider (10 player) count toward progress.

For the Flame Leviathan vehicle achievement, use 2 Demolishers with 2 players each, 1 Siege Engine with 2 players, and 2 Choppers. Have Demolishers continuously hurl Pyrite Barrels at the boss, Choppers handle adds, and the Siege Engine attack directly — the fight should resolve in under a minute with consistent Pyrite usage.

For this Ignis the Furnace Master achievement, tank the boss in the water and have an off-tank pick up adds while DPS focuses accordingly — this is considered one of the easier achievements in the meta.

For this Hodir achievement, every player must prevent Biting Cold stacks from accumulating by either moving constantly or standing in Toasty Fire provided by the Mage NPCs — note that snow or powerful frost magic will extinguish those fires. Hodir has a 9-minute enrage timer, so account for time spent dodging Flash Freeze and Icicles while managing the debuff.

For this Mimiron hard mode achievement, activate the hard mode before the fight begins. Fire will periodically spawn in 3 areas of the room and chase raid members across all 4 phases, and Mimiron gains 25% more HP and deals 25% more damage per active machine. The enrage timer sits between 8 and 10 minutes — stay mobile and dodge fires consistently throughout every phase.

Once all required sub-achievements are completed, the Glory of the Ulduar Raider (10 player) meta-achievement is awarded along with the Reins of the Rusted Proto-Drake, accompanied by a letter from Brann Bronzebeard explaining the drake's origin as a recovered Iron Dwarf experiment hatchling.
