Glutton for Shadowy Punishment
In Archmage Xylem's Trial of Shadow in Azshara, trap 20 Weeping Souls without taking damage.
Glutton for Shadowy Punishment is a 10-point achievement earned in Archmage Xylem's Trial of Shadow in Azshara by successfully trapping 20 Weeping Souls without taking damage.
Reach the Trial Location
Travel to the unnamed island in the top of Azshara, just north-east of Darnassian Base Camp. On the south-west of that island is a portal — take it and do not stop on the way up the mountain or a frost ball will knock you down. At the top, click the crystal to open the portal, then click the portal itself to enter the Shadow trial instance.
Mount Up Before Starting
You can mount during this achievement, and a 100% speed mount lets you outrun the Weeping Soul spawns entirely, making kiting them into the rune platforms straightforward.
Stack Souls Then Kite
Wait around for a couple of minutes until 20 or more Weeping Souls are following you, then use a movement ability or your mount to run them all over a single rune platform at once, which can grant credit for up to 19 traps in a single pass.
Kill Souls That Break Through
If a Weeping Soul is about to pass beyond the rune platforms, you or a companion can kill it and you will still receive credit toward the achievement — use a friend stationed at your last line of defense to handle any escapees.
Tips
Having a friend present to kill any Weeping Soul that slips past the final rune platform removes virtually all risk of failing the achievement.
Letting souls accumulate for 2+ minutes before kiting allows you to trap large groups over a single rune, completing most of the 20-soul requirement in one run.
