Heroic Dungeons Overview
Glory of the Pandaria Hero
Glory of the Pandaria Hero requires you to complete 2-5 achievements in each dungeon. You can complete these in any order, except for Polyformic Acid Science, which requires you to kill various bosses while under the effect of the Polyformic Acid Potion buff from Scholomance, so it's recommended you start there!
Also, keep in mind that using this mount requires Cloud Serpent Riding from reaching Exalted with the Order of the Cloud Serpent. Check out our guide here for more details.
Scholomance
Attention to Detail: Defeat Jandice Barov without ever eliminating a false image in Scholomance on Heroic Difficulty.
At 66% and 33%, Jandice Barov will create multiple illusions of herself. Each of her illusions will have slight variations from the real Jandice. This mechanic can be completely avoided by fighting the boss in the alcove before her spawn location. Wait there when she spawns the images, and a few seconds later, the images will disappear.
Rattle No More: Defeat Rattlegore without allowing him to gain more than 5 stacks of Rusting in Scholomance on Heroic Difficulty.
Rattlegore gains stacks of Rusting when he successfully melee attacks; you must defeat him before this reaches 6 stacks. One method is to kite him when he is approaching 6 stacks until they drop, or you can have a second player tank him temporarily when he reaches 5 stacks. Alternatively, if your DPS is high enough, you can just kill him fast enough that he doesn't have time to stack this!
Polyformic Acid Science: Defeat bosses around Pandaria while under the effects of Polyformic Acid Potion on Heroic Difficulty.
Although this achievement isn't completed here, progressing it requires a buff acquired in Scholomance. After killing Professor Slate, you can click the Polyformic Acid Potion on his table to get the 60-minute duration buff Polyformic Acid Potion. You should also loot a Empty Polyformic Acid Vial from the Professor and use it to store this buff for later use up to 3 times.
School's Out Forever: Defeat 50 Expired Test Subjects within 20 seconds in Scholomance on Heroic Difficulty.
The final boss, Darkmaster Gandling, will periodically cast Harsh Lesson, teleporting a player to a locked room with 10 Expired Test Subjects. This room will be unlocked when he casts this again or when the player kills all of the Subjects. Players must avoid killing them and instead wait until they have cast Harsh Lesson enough times to spawn 50 Subjects, before stacking them all up and quickly killing them with AoE.
Gate of the Setting Sun
Bomberman: Trigger 15 explosions within 15 seconds during the Saboteur Kip'tilak encounter in Gate of the Setting Sun on Heroic Difficulty.
The first boss in Gate of the Setting Sun, Saboteur Kip'tilak, will Throw Explosives randomly, placing Stable Munitions around the room. At 70% and 30% health, he detonates all Munitions. He will also target players randomly with Sabotage; the targeted player must make sure that when the bombs from Sabotage explode, they do not hit any of the Stable Munitions, as that will detonate them.
To complete this achievement, deal damage to Kip'tilak until he's around 75% health, then wait until there are 15 Stable Munitions on the floor, avoiding detonating any of them early via Sabotage, then take him down below 70%, prompting him to detonate all the bombs and grant your group the achievement.
Polyformic Acid Science: Defeat Commander Ri'mok, the third boss, while under the effects of Polyformic Acid Potion.
Conscriptinator: Gain three stacks of Resin Residue by defeating Mantid Conscripts in Gate of the Setting Sun on Heroic Difficulty.
After defeating the first three bosses, head towards the final boss, but do not jump down to them. Instead, turn right at the spot on the wall where you normally jump down; there will be three Mantid Conscripts. They explode on death, debuffing nearby players with Resin Residue; simply kill them whilst in range to complete this achievement.
Mogu'shan Palace
Quarrelsome Quilen Quintet: Collect all the Jade Quilen located throughout Mogu'Shan Palace on Heroic Difficulty.
Five Jade Quilens are scattered through the instance. You can go back and complete this after your group has finished the dungeon. They can be found in the following locations:
On the right side of the alcove in the first room.
In the room with the first boss encounter.
Following the first boss encounter, on a ledge on the right-hand side after descending the stairs. Requires you to jump off the nearby brazier.
In an open vault to the northeast of the second boss.
In the north room, just before the final boss. Click the Scrying Orb to reveal the final Quillen.
Polyformic Acid Science: Defeat Haiyan the Unstoppable, the first boss, while under the effects of Polyformic Acid Potion.
Glintrok N' Roll: Defeat Gekkan and his Glintrok entourage in Mogu'shan Palace on Heroic difficulty within 5 minutes of being spotted by the Glintrok Scout.
What Does This Button Do?: Use Xin the Weaponmaster's secret defense mechanism against him in Mogu'shan Palace on Heroic difficulty.
In the northwest and southeast corners of the room are lion's head statues. At 66%, a red gem will spawn at one, and at 33%, one will spawn at the other. Damage the boss down to below 33%, then have players at both locations press the red gems within a few seconds of each other to complete this achievement.
Scarlet Halls
Humane Society: Defeat Houndmaster Braun without killing any hounds in Scarlet Halls on Heroic Difficulty.
Throw the buckets of meat to put any unavoidable hounds to sleep, and avoid using AoE when killing the Houndmaster.
Mosh Pit: Get a combination of 8 players and Scarlet Defenders caught up in Armsmaster Harlan's Blades of Light simultaneously and then defeat Armsmaster Harlan in Scarlet Halls on Heroic Difficulty.
Scarlet Monastery
Burning Man: Cause Brother Korloff to light six nearby training dummies on fire, and then defeat him, in Scarlet Monastery on Heroic Difficulty.
There are 3 training dummies to the east, and three to the west. Brother Korloff will ignite nearby dummies when he uses Blazing Fists and Firestorm Kick near them.
And Stay Dead!: Allow High Inquisitor Whitemane to cast Mass Resurrection, defeat all revived Scarlet Judicators, and then defeat Whitemane in Scarlet Monastery on Heroic Difficulty.
Shado-Pan Monastery
Polyformic Acid Science: Defeat Gu Cloudstrike, the first boss, while under the effects of Polyformic Acid Potion.
Respect: Bow to the Shado-Pan Novices when they bow to you after being defeated during the Master Snowdrift event in Shado-Pan Monastery on Heroic Difficulty.
The whole group should create a "/bow" macro, and whenever a Novice is defeated and turns friendly, target them and use the macro.
The Obvious Solution: Eliminate the remaining Sha imprisoned in the Sealed Chambers and then defeat the Sha of Violence in Shado-Pan Monastery on Heroic Difficulty.
On the left side is a trigger; pull this, defeat the mobs that spawn, and then defeat the Sha of Violence.
Hate Leads to Suffering: Defeat Taran Zhu while every party member is at maximum hatred in Shado-Pan Monastery on Heroic Difficulty.
Progress the boss fight as usual until they are on around 5-10% health, then wait until everyone has maximum hatred, and finish the boss.
Siege of Niuzao Temple
Polyformic Acid Science: Defeat Vizier Jin'bak, the first boss, while under the effects of Polyformic Acid Potion.
Where's My Air Support?: Defeat Commander Vo'jak after having killed the Sik'thik Amberwing in Siege of Niuzao Temple on Heroic Difficulty.
Return to Sender: Defeat General Pa'valak while he has 20 stacks of Detonate in the Siege of Niuzao Temple on Heroic Difficulty.
At 65% and 35%, General Pa'valak casts Bulwark, shielding himself. After a few seconds, bombs will fall from the sky around him; pick this up and throw them at him to stack the Detonate debuff.
Run with the Wind: Defeat Ner'onok in Siege of Niuzao Temple on Heroic Difficulty while under the effect of Tenwu's Resolve.
Tenwu of the Red Smoke can be found on the opposite side of the broken bridge during the Ner'onok encounter. Either jump whilst Nor'onok is casting Gusting Winds, or you can use Goblin Glider to reach him. He will grant you Tenwu's Resolve, a 2-minute buff, and teleport you back to the boss encounter.
Stormstout Brewery
How Did He Get Up There?: Find a way to get the Hozen Clinger to let go in Stormstout Brewery on any difficulty.
After defeating Ook-Ook, start heading towards the next boss and kill a Bopper, picking up the hammer it drops. When you enter the next floor of the building you defeated Ook-Ook in, there is a banner in the centre of the room, which the Hozen Clinger is hanging above.
Pull the aggroed mobs to beneath the Clinger, and when a Hopper begins casting Explosive Brew, use the hammer to launch them into the air, which should cause the Clinger to let go.
Ling-Ting's Herbal Journey: Collect all 30 Golden Hoplings hidden around the Stormstout Brewery on any difficulty.
Purchase a few Ling-Ting's Favorite Tea from Auntie Stormstout at the start of the instance. Using this grants the buff Ling-Ting's Herbal Journey, allowing you to see Golden Hoplings scattered throughout the instance. You can clear the instance first, and then hunt down the Hoplings, using the below macro to help you by marking the nearest one with a blue square.
/cleartarget
/target Jade Quilen

Keep Rollin' Rollin' Rollin': Kill Ook-Ook after assaulting him with 20 Rolling Brew Barrels in Stormstout Brewery on Heroic Difficulty.
Avoid attacking the boss, and hop onto barrels to roll them into him. This achievement can be a little buggy, so it is advisable to roll a few more than 20 barrels into him to make sure before killing him.
Hopocalypse Now!: Smash 100 Virmen with a single hammer swing in Stormstout Brewery on Heroic Difficulty.
Pick up a hammer after killing a Hopper, then simply wait outside the area you encounter Bopper in, and wait; Virmen will continually spawn, and once you have over 100, click the special button to swing your hammer.
Polyformic Acid Science: Defeat Yan-Zhu the Uncasked, the last boss, while under the effects of Polyformic Acid Potion.
Temple of the Jade Serpent
Hydrophobia: Defeat Wise Mari without being hit by Corrupted Water, Hydrolance, or Wash Away in Temple of the Jade Serpent on Heroic Difficulty.
Spells like Blink and Demonic Gateway can be used to avoid Wash Away whilst largely ignoring the other mechanics, or if your group is willing, you can simply stay out of the encounter while they defeat him!
Cleaning Up: Defeat the Sha of Doubt in Temple of the Jade Serpent while under the effects of Purified Water.
The main trick to this is defeating Lorewalker Stonestep before Wise Mari, which is the opposite of how most groups clear this dungeon. Once Wise Mari is vanquished, you will gain Purified Water for 5 minutes.
Polyformic Acid Science: Defeat Liu Flameheart, the third boss, while under the effects of Polyformic Acid Potion.
Seeds of Doubt: Defeat the Sha of Doubt in Temple of the Jade Serpent while under the effect of 4 Seeds of Doubt on Heroic difficulty.
During the add phase of this encounter, Crystals spawn around the room, which, when clicked, grant Seed of Doubt. One player needs to click on these crystals to gain 4 stacks of the buff, then defeat the boss. If struggling with the damage, you should play the encounter as usual until the boss is around 10%, then stop DPS and wait for an add phase, then click the crystals, before nuking down the adds and boss.
