The Traitor King (25 player)
Kill 25 Swarm Scarabs within 30 seconds in 25-player mode.
The Traitor King (25 player) is a 10-point achievement earned by killing 25 Swarm Scarabs within 30 seconds during the Anub'arak encounter in Trial of the Crusader.
Enter Trial of the Crusader
Enter the raid on 25-player mode and pull Anub'arak by walking over him to aggro him. Do not deal enough damage to push him below 35% health, as that triggers phase 3 and he will no longer submerge.
Let Anub'arak Submerge
When Anub'arak submerges in phase 2, he will follow you underground — let him catch up and stand still until he re-emerges. Each submerge spawns 12 Swarm Scarabs, so three submerges are needed to accumulate 25 or more.
Disable Passive Damage Abilities
Before the fight, disable any passive damage talents or abilities (for example, a Protection Paladin should turn off Holy Shield) to avoid accidentally killing Swarm Scarabs or pushing Anub'arak into phase 3 prematurely.
AoE Down 25 Scarabs
After the third submerge, allow the Swarm Scarabs to accumulate and then AoE them all down within 30 seconds. The debuff the Scarabs apply is not lethal at max level, so focus entirely on killing at least 25 within the time window.
Track Scarab Count
Use this macro to count only Swarm Scarabs via visible nameplates before you AoE: /run local t,c,p="Swarm Scarab",0 for i=1,10000 do p=_G["NamePlate"..i] if p and p:IsVisible() then c=c+(select(2,p:GetChildren()):GetRegions():GetText()==t and 1 or 0) end end print(t,":",c)
Tips
See the video guide for a visual walkthrough of the submerge phases and scarab positioning.
You do not need to kill Anub'arak to earn this achievement — just AoE the Swarm Scarabs and leave if desired.
