A new achievement in World of Warcraft requires you to be cruel to an old dragon. Why? Because you can.
Achievements in World of Warcraft are a frequently debated topic. While some players don’t care for the feature at all, others are mainly focused on collecting as many achievement points as possible. Others are only persuaded to do it when there is a cool reward.
However, some achievements in WoW are simply so creative and funny that every WoW fan probably wants to have them in their own collection. Especially with a new achievement, for which you have to be particularly cruel to one of the oldest dragons in World of Warcraft.
What kind of achievement is this? This refers to the achievement “That’s Just Cruel” and belongs to the achievements of leatherworkers in World of Warcraft. The achievement requires you to wear an Onyxia scale cloak and then head into the “Blackwing Lair” raid to slay Nefarian.
After that, you should also travel to the “Blackwing Descent” to repeat the whole thing – according to the description “so that the message really gets across.”
The longer you think about it, the meaner it gets. Because not only do you invade two different “habitats” of Nefarian to defeat him first in living and then in undead form, but you also showcase the scales of his previously murdered sister Onyxia. So you first kill Nefarian’s sister, fashion fancy clothing from her dead body, and then kill her brother. Twice.
Then you don’t really have to wonder why some dragons don’t think much of mortals.
Nefarian will surely think twice about whether he will show up a third time.
Are there more achievements like this? At least many that strike a similar chord. With Patch 10.1.7 Incarnation of Wrath, Blizzard added numerous new achievements for all professions in World of Warcraft. While some are absolute standard fare in the sense of “Craft 500 items of type XYZ,” there are also significantly more creative achievements.
For example, you need to read all 4 books of “Rituals of the New Moon,” an old recipe from “Wrath of the Lich King,” to receive a new toy that turns you into a wolf.
Leatherworkers must embark on a camping adventure and, while under the effect of a campfire, set up a tent, catch a fish, prepare a delicious meal, and take a S.E.L.F.I.E.
If you’re looking for rather unusual achievements to pass the time until Patch 10.2 Guardians of the Dream comes out, you should check out WoW now.
