Defeat bosses around Pandaria while under the effects of Polyformic Acid Potion on Heroic Difficulty.

Polyformic Acid Science requires you to defeat six specific bosses across Pandaria dungeons on Heroic difficulty while under the effect of the Polyformic Acid Potion, obtained from Professor Slate in Scholomance.

1

Obtain Buff From Scholomance

Enter Scholomance (non-Heroic) and defeat Professor Slate. Loot the Empty Polyformic Acid Vial from his body, then click the Polyformic Acid Potion on the nearby table to receive the one-hour Polyformic Acid Potion buff, which persists through death.

2

Store Multiple Vials In Advance

Each time you store your disguise using the Empty Vial, it creates a Nearly Full Vial of Polyformic Acid (3 uses), which degrades into a Half Full Vial of Polyformic Acid (2 uses) and then a Nearly Empty Vial of Polyformic Acid (1 use). These three vials have different item IDs so you can carry one of each, giving you up to 6 stored hours of the buff. Run Scholomance three times on non-Heroic to collect all three vial types before starting your Heroic dungeon runs.

3

Defeat Trial of the King

Enter Mogu'Shan Palace on Heroic and defeat the Trial of the King, which is the first encounter in the dungeon. Leave after this kill and move to the next dungeon.

4

Defeat Commander Ri'mok

Enter Gate of the Setting Sun on Heroic and defeat Commander Ri'mok, the third boss of the dungeon. Leave after this kill and move to the next dungeon.

5

Defeat Vizier Jin'bak

Enter Siege of Niuzao Temple on Heroic and defeat Vizier Jin'bak, the first boss, at 35, 82 in Townlong Steppes. Leave after this kill and move to the next dungeon.

6

Defeat Gu Cloudstrike

Enter Shado-Pan Monastery on Heroic and defeat Gu Cloudstrike, the first boss, at 36, 47 in Kun-Lai Summit. Leave after this kill and move to the next dungeon.

7

Defeat Yan-Zhu the Uncasked

Enter Stormstout Brewery on Heroic and defeat Yan-Zhu the Uncasked, the third boss of the dungeon, at 36, 69 in Valley of the Four Winds. Leave after this kill and move to the next dungeon.

8

Defeat Liu Flameheart

Enter Temple of the Jade Serpent on Heroic and defeat Liu Flameheart, the third boss of the dungeon. Be aware that this dungeon has roleplay sequences that take time, so account for this when managing your one-hour buff.

Tips

  • The Polyformic Acid Potion buff is not removed by Druid shapeshifting, so Druids can freely change forms without losing progress.

  • Begin your boss runs with the Nearly Empty Vial of Polyformic Acid first so your longest-lasting vials remain fresh for later dungeons.

  • All six bosses must be killed on Heroic difficulty — normal mode kills do not count toward the achievement.
