Kill the Flame Leviathan on the hardest hard-mode on normal difficulty.

There are 4 defence towers in the gauntlet leading to the Flame Leviathan which can be activated by talking to the Lore Keeper of Norgannon before talking to Brann to start the gauntlet. Activating a tower and leaving it intact will activate a unique Orbital Defense System on the Leviathan. Each Defense System grants the Leviathan an extra ability, increases his health by 40% (multiplicative!), gives him a unique buff, converts all dropped Emblems of Valor to Emblems of Conquest and increases the number of Emblems. Killing the Leviathan with all Defence Systems active is the hardest hard mode and allows the raid to get the Orbit-uary achievement, 3 Emblems of Conquest and 1 piece of loot from the Hard-Mode loot table, in addition to the normal loot.

The following abilities complicate the fight when all 4 Defense Systems are active:

The Flame Leviathan has 88 million HP
Tower of Storms: Thorim's Hammer - Physical damage. Extra damage at point of impact. Also increases physical damage by 25%
Tower of Flames: Mimiron's Inferno - Fire damage and a AoE damage zone. Also increases fire damage by 50%
Tower of Frost: Hodir's Fury - Frost damage and entombs vehicles near the impact point in ice. Entombed vehicles are stunned for 1 minute, taking damage over time. The tomb can be destroyed with fire damage, a single cannon shot will suffice. ~~Also slows players for 20%~~
Tower of Nature: Freya's Ward - Nature damage and summons Writhing Lasher and Ward of Life adds. Also decreases fire damage taken by Leviathan by 10%

Ahah, ok. Thanks for clearing that up for me!

Rumors have been spreading within my guild that activating hard mode on Flame Leviathan activates hard mode for the rest of the instance. I was under the assumption that you could do Flame on hard mode, receive your extra loot and better emblems, and continue to do the rest easy-mode. Anyone confirm? :)

Each boss has an individual and unique hard mode. These are all mutually exclusive of each other. Therefore when you do Flame Leviathan on hard mode, everything else is by default, easy mode. You have to engage hard mode on each boss or meet certain criteria.

you are correct; your guild is mistaken.

We attempted this today (which means post-nerf of course)

Setup:
2 Demolishers (5 people, with 1 pre-loaded)
2 Siege Engines (4 people)
1 Chopper

Basics:
Stack about 10 pyrite on each corner before you start (more the merrier, but we weren't exactly patient about it)
Do not launch until he starts chasing someone
Demolishers stay at the far south corners (one on each side), and just unload the crap out of FL in the beginning
We had the issue with the demolishers with 3 people getting initial kite like at least 90% (out of like 15 or so attempts) of the time (might be just our luck). This is probably not intended, however, since there are couple times that demolisher isn't targeted first.
Blue (Frost) and Red (Fire) beams are random movement, just dodge 'em. Green (Adds) are always at the 4 corners.
The Blue beam doesn't instant freeze you if you go under it, you see this huge snowflake (for lack of better description) that falls into the ground, which will THEN freeze you if you're in the beam (not much a big issue if you get frozen since 1 blast from the demolisher will break you, which is not the case pre-nerf; this is the lesser of all evils).
Red beam will drop a huge fireball in the ground then fall in a random STRAIGHT path making a line of fire (avoid this at all cause because it's insanely massive damage)
Will be an AOE unavoidable raid wise damage pulse from Thorim in addition to a ground effect that does huge huge damage to you. The ground effect looks like when you destroy a spark in the Malygos encounter and should be avoided at all cause.
2 Type of adds. These generally rape chopper and demolishers quick if left alone. All vulnerable to Tar. Small ones will die from two Siege Engine's "1" Attack, or one "3" attack. Big one will die from around four to five "1" attack, or two to three "3" attack.
Each pyrite takes 10 out of your 100 pyrite reserve. Each pick up will refill 50, each rush takes around 50.
ONLY LAUNCHER CASTERS (it doesn't matter if they can't self heal, but if it's a melee, they can't reach bother Turrets).

Tactics:
First overload
Demolisher drivers, go nuts on pyrites, unload as much as you can. If you're demolisher and you have initial aggro and you feel that you can't keep up the stacks while kiting don't bother wasting your pyrite just yet. Just run. If you don't get targeted or confident that you can launch, kite, and stacking pyrite, both should be at max range (if possible) spamming pyrites. If you position correctly and not have initial aggro, you can sit there and spam pyrite, because the moment he switches target and gets close to you, he should have overloaded.
Second overload
Choppers be quick to pick up your passenger, and the one being picked up will have to call it over vent to have the one about to be launched to grab 1 more stack of pyrite, speed boost, then load him/herself into the catapult. Adds will start spawning at this point as well as all the all orbital system will be online, so beam dodging will become important.
Siege Engine Perspective
As driver, you kill adds. Before each switch, he'll toss up flame vent, time yourself so you know when to switch back and forth between adds and FL to interrupt.
As gunner, your "1" attack will destroy the small and big adds quick, use it often. If no adds are up, for the love of god, SHOOT DOWN MORE PYRITES.
Chopper Perspective
Spray Tar everywhere. Fly around and have fun watching TV while rest of the team calling out every single little thing on vent. Well not really. You're the squishiest one out there. If you die the raid wipe because it's extremely (almost impossible outside a paladin) to survive after getting ejected from FL without being picked up.
Demolishers Perspective
As driver, you stack more pyrite, once a stack of 10's up there, DO NOT LET IT DROP, you lose SO MUCH damage if you let it drop even once. If he target you, you should be at max range, you should still be unloading damage on him. The moment he gets close to you speed and get away, but BACK pedal if you have to once you're far to make your stack DOES NOT fall off. You need to be aware of pyrite on the ground. I just call for speed at 80/100 pyrite, do one more stack to refresh the stacking, run to the nearest pile of pyrite, grab one and start unloading again. Remember, you use pyrite super quick, if you notice the ground's running dry, call it out to the raid early because you use up an amazing amount of pyrite super quick.
As gunner, you shoot down more pyrite, grab every single pyrite you see on the ground as soon as you hit below 75. If you have time, kill little adds, but preferably shoot down more pyrite.
Third Overload
If you get here with everyone alive it's pretty much waiting to collect loot.

Additional Tips:
Siege stick close to your demolishers to kill adds please. Chopper really just spray target in flame's path, but not during his flame vent sessions if somehow none of the siege are close to stop it. Always kite at the edge. Be smart about shielding if you're a Siege Gunner (especially during Thorim's ability). Siege driver if you rush through beams, you don't take damage (but ONLY if you're end COMPLETELY away from the beams and the line of fire). Demolishers driver don't be shy on using your pyrite to speed up, once you keep a stack of 10, just make sure you don't let it fall off. Demolisher Gunner make sure to keep your pyrite barrel full the entire time if possible and shoot down more if you see the tank going dry, only attack adds when the ground's full of pyrites. Aim to take 33% of his health at each overload.

I didn't bother grammar check this because it's way too much stuff to go through. I tried to make it as easy to read as possible format wise. Hope this helps people trying to get it.

EDIT: Changed the pyrite value thanks for marklartank's correction, I forgot I was using an UI that shows my energy at max is 50, not 100 like the Blizzard default's.

Tower of Storms: Thorim's Hammer - Physical damage. Extra damage at point of impact. Also increases physical damage by 25%

Tower of Flames: Mimiron's Inferno - Fire damage and a AoE damage zone. Also increases fire damage by 50%

The tomb can be destroyed with fire damage, a single cannon shot will suffice. Please keep in find that this NO LONGER slows players by 20%.

It's an achievement series. I believe that if you haven't completed the 1/2/3 tower achievements yet and click Orbit-uary in the Glory of the Raider achievement it will go to the lowest one in the series that you haven't completed. The same way if you click the recipes link in the Chef meta achievement or the 1000 fish caught in the fishing meta achievement it will link to the current lowest level step in the series you haven't completed.

Orbit-uary is required for the Glory of the Raider achievements.

This is completely true. And yet it was downrated? ...

And he never said it will not give you all 4 achievements. He just said if you CLICK it, you cannot see the "orbit-uary" achievement. You can only SEE the lowest one in the series. If you go from 0->4 towers, first you will see the "1 tower up" achiev, then you will see "orbit-uary". You will never see the 2/3 achievs, even though you have completed them.

Commento di Anxa

Completed on 7/19/10 with three wipes for people to get the hang of some unfamiliar roles. A group experienced with FL should have zero problems skipping 1-3 and going for all four orbital defense measures.

I 2manned this one today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVKK0Q72t-w

Commento di tarunloko

I can confirm that in Cataclysm this achievement has become incredibly easy, due to the increased gear ilevel vehicles now have from 3-6 million health, making it almost impossible for them to die on the boss

Commento di 293216

If anyone on the Smolderthorn realm does this please let me join you. I have been looking to do this for a very long time and noone raids on my server. I will do just about anything for this since it is the very last one I need to complete the meta.
