Glory of the Hero: Don't Look Up

Don't Look Up
Clear the hallway before Scourgelord Tyrannus in The Pit of Saron on Heroic Difficulty without anyone taking icicle damage on the first try.

This particular achievement was a bit more stressful than others simply because it must be executed perfectly on the first try. I was not sure if my pet would count as "anyone" so I made sure he was dismissed before running to the first safe platform halfway down the hall. I laid a frost trap down to keep the mobs along the way off me and ended up using Deterrence for good measure, as well. This is how it went:

1. Dismiss pet
2. Run up to the first platform, keeping the mobs off you any way you want
3. Feign Death when you reach the platform in the middle
4. Break feign death by summoning your pet
5. Move your pet to one side of the platform while you stand on the other
6. Misdirect incoming waves to pet
7. Secure the platform
8. Put your pet on a mob and run up the remainder of the hallway, leaving the pet behind
9. Misdirect all mobs along the way to your pet
10. Feign Death at the end, just off of the snow pathway

This method causes all the guards along the hallway to reset and leaves you with only the small pack of 4 at the end to kill to get the achievement. It also makes managing your pet simple, in the event that icicle damage on it will cause the achievemen to fail.

BE CAREFUL WHEN RUNNING UP THE PATH...THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE WAY WILL BE ENTIRELY BLOCKED IF YOU AREN'T CAREFUL!
