Dimbly drafted an EOTD2 write-up earlier this week. I'm including it here, and have also incorporated it into the main strategy post.
Dimby's EOTD2 Write-up
Yay! It's My Turn To Break a Box in The Kar'zok event; How Do I Get My EoD2 Achievement?
- Where is the box I have to break?
The box you have to break is in the room behind Snowblaze. There is a purple barrier that you have to get past. If you run into the purple barrier you will be tossed back about 500 units into the room.
- How do I get past the purple barrier?
There are two ways to get past the purple barrier, the proper way and the cheaty way.
The proper way:
The purple barrier is brought down by exposure to shield fragments from the Frost/Flame Assaulters' shield. When an Assaulter is caught in the targeted aura that Snowblaze casts on players, that Assaulter's shield will break. There is an emote that indicates that this has happened. When an Assaulter's shield shatters a fragment of that shield drops to the ground. That fragment must be picked up from the ground, equipped in a secondary slot, and brought to the purple barrier at Snowblaze. With the fragment equipped one may pass safely through the purple barrier. When the equipped fragment makes contact with the purple barrier the purple barrier and the shield fragment are weakened. When the fragment has contacted the barrier 3 times that fragment is destroyed. When the barrier comes into contact with a fragment 9 times, the barrier is destroyed. So, 3 shield fragments will bring down the purple barrier eliminating the need to have the fragment equipped to pass through the barrier safely.
The cheaty way:
You may pass through the purple barrier using Shadow Step effects (ie Mistwalk for druids) if you angle it just right.
- How do I break the box? Now what?
So, finding yourself inside of Snowblaze's room there are 6 boxes scattered around the room that can be targeted and broken. You need to break one (and ONLY ONE) of those boxes. You may break the box using a melee weapon or spells or by using a pet. Do NOT use your pet to break your box! When the box is broken you will receive a buff call Unstable Potion (greenish icon). This buff has a 5 minute timer attached to it. Before Unstable Potion wears off you need to position yourself in front of either Snowblaze or The Reaper and be hit with Breath of Atrebe. When you are hit with Breath of Atrebe you receive an additional buff called Unstable Infusion (reddish icon). When you receive Unstable Infusion you are assured of receiving your EoD2 achievement BUT ONLY when the event is won. After receiving Unstable Infusion you may safely die.
- My pet broke open the box, how come I didn't get the Unstable Potion buff?
YOU FOOL! If your pet breaks open the box, your pet will receive the Unstable Potion buff instead of you. Now even though pets are people too, they are not willing to share the achievement with you. You are SOL. Don't let your pet break the box!
- I broke open the box and got the Unstable Potion buff, but I died. Now what?
YOU FOOL! If you have broken open your box and received the buff Unstable Potion, but you are silly enough to die before being hit with Breath of Atrebe you will lose Unstable Potion and you will not receive your EoD2 achievement. You are SOL. Don't die before being hit with Breath of Atrebe!
- I broke open the box and got the Unstable Potion buff and to be safe I gated out.
YOU FOOL! If you have broken your box and received the buff Unstable Potion, but you are silly enough leave the zone or instance before being hit with Breath of Atrebe, you will lose Unstable Potion and you will not receive your EoD2 achievement. You are SOL. Don't leave the zone/instance before being hit with Breath of Atrebe!
And that's all there is to it.
