Glory of the Hero - tips'n'tricks

There are lots of stairs in this zone and there are two ways to get to this boss. I have been pulling the boss to the stairs on the right pathway (the stairs leading down into the area before his room) and he still goes immune with 2 elementals occupying the guardians. Does a shaman have to sit with the elementals for some reason?

I think we are speaking about the same stairs. I've tanked him in the corner to the right side (facing down the stairs) of the foot of those stairs, right at that lil corner. My wife grabbed the adds right at the doorway to his chamber. Worked first try, so I didn't really bother with this anymore. Maybe you need a bit more distance between your tank and add positioning.
The boss hits like a girl (afaik your tank is sitting at 35k+ unbuffed health too), so am sure you can move him around a bit while in combat.

It kinda looked like this:

    X Boss spawn spot


         X Doorway (grab adds here)



                           X Boss fight spot
                      X Stairs

So leaving just earth elementals there will not stop immunity?

So leaving just earth elementals there will not stop immunity?

As long as your elementals grab all guardians, the boss shouldn't get the immunity. But well, as soon as the earth elemental starts to fight, its very likely other adds are able to rush past the doorway. That's why I've placed my wife (resto shaman) at the door, to grab all guardians.
The fight didn't last very long, so everything worked as planned for us.

The immunity is an aura the guardians have, which range is rather large. The elementals would be fine to use provided that you place them far enough away. The way I accomplished this achievment was a Lil different than most, there's a platform area outside just passed this bosses room that seems like a rather long run with 3 to4 trash pulls. What I did was to kill the trash then park all 4 ret pallys in the farthest little nook on this area right in front of the steps then go pull the boss to this spot. If all your toons can muster a solid 3.8 k burst dps and I assume you're usin shamans so its possible just to burst the boss before the add gets in range. This takes a little bit of luck as if the guardian spawns on the close side of the room you won't have enough time but it only took me 2 or 3 tries to do it and my pallies don't have sheer burn like shams do hehe. Good luck!

***the boss summons the guardian at 50 percent hps so save your burst burst for right at 50 and the blow him up ***
