A Complete Achievement Guide for Fractured in Alterac Valley! Earn over 17,000 XP!

[@1TonyTopHat]

Between this and Mercenaries, guides like these are essential to complete otherwise bugged or misworded achievements and tasks. Much appreciated

[@megacool4690]

Thx so much for all the information! This is my favorite type of video you make!!

[@yellowpanther8228]

For the mage: "do you wanna build a snowtroll" achievement you can also use Potion of illusions on Clumsy Courier or additionally Dragoncaster/ Inkmaster Solia in wild. Making your final Snowgre 1/0 mana. it requires more setup but doesn't need RNG. Whatever you prefer.

[@crabby112]

I used the weapon and basically run all spell cost reduce cards (with brann). needed to pay like 2 mana eventually to complete that one.

[@johnherb4243]

I actually just got that one by chance the other day. I randomly generated build a snowman and my opponent just didn't kill the troll or brute before I cast snogre. Super lucky.

[@bobwinslow1920]

I used emperor thaurisan + enchantress to discount two arcane illuminaries and the snowman. then on combo turn you can play two arcane luminaries and all three stages with exactly 10 mana. Deck code: # AAEBAbTqAwTWEf3hAtjsA6CKBA3AAbQE9KsD97gD1OoD0+wD1OwD1uwDqIEEoZIE/J4E6J8E9aIEAA== #

[@KrivitskyM]

For "You Are In Irondeep Trouble" you can copy troggs yourself. Priest, Warrior and Druid can do that relatively consistently. The only detail is that you must end your turn with 7 troggs, even though the description doesn't mention it (it's not enough to merely control them at the same time). To reliably copy troggs, Warriors can use Sudden Genesis and Blood Warriors, Druids can use Solar Eclipse + Germination and Priests have a whole bunch of copying effects, so this is the class that I played. Enjoy this deck: AAEBAaSrBAAP0cECgvcCl4cD5ogDrKUD2awDk7oDlroDp8sD4t4D+98D+OMDrYoEiqME4aQEAA==

[@KrisOFiveHearthstone]

Thx Zeddy! Coming in with the clutch video literally a day before I decide it's time to get into those! :D

[@phillipdouglass7405]

As always zeddy, your my #1 guy for hearthstone news. This guide tops you off with the original content that everyone's been waiting for. I love how you are not a follower, I'll see you at a million subscribers next year.

[@realityboy9356]

Thank you for explaining all the bugs! I got really frustrated with all these achievements that just wouldn't proc.

[@KnownAsKenji]

@13:50 Don't forget Broom for this, you should be able to HK like that if it's not bugged, gives you a bit more reach for the HK.

[@shadowfurydono]

That's the good stuff. I am at 29k. Will easily get 30k+ after these achievements. You deserve some credit for that!

[@KnownAsKenji]

@13:31 Don't be afraid to go all-in on this one. Just pack a deck with 30 Freeze effects. Aggro opponents like Pirate Warrior won't be able to stop you from just playing green card and freezing everything for 8 turns or so.

[@KnownAsKenji]

@5:00 that's what I did, all in deck of 18 Poisonous Beasts. The poison helps the deck get to the late game, assuming the opponent is playing minions at all, this method is quick, and hilarious.

[@mythsealaes2206]

if you want to build a snow troll you can use Kaelthas Sunstrider and conjure mana biscuit archmage Vargoth can recast wildfire high priest Thekal may help with Brasswing achievement along with crystalizer garrison works with moarg artificer if you play guff and grim patron + spammy arcanist you don't need discounts cast scraps on test subject or play Paladin and use Lynnessa Sunsorrow + primalfin champion in reborn paladin irondeep trogg + whirlwind + double sudden genesis in warrior - you do need 1 tick of emperor on 2 of these rams have solid synergy with quest rogue(caverns)

[@noahdacheese839]

"Puppies!" Is pretty easy if you try using cube in wild to eat the puppies and summon them again. Just play anything that resummons your beasts/minions as well. You can play 10-20 pups a game against control decks, pretty easy at that point

[@blue-phoenix115]

Now this is an exceptional quality video that took a lot of time and effort!

[@TheFlashFan077]

Thank you for the guide Lord Zeddy :)

[@EcliserPvz]

For the priest "Salvation Army" achievement you can also use 3 radiant elementals, 3-health test subject, and you can trigger 10-12 times in 1 turn

[@mrsweetkandy7673]

I was waiting for this for the achievements i felt too lazy to build for, thanks a lot for this zeddy! I wish it wasn't bugged

[@JorisVDC]

For the Bloodseeker achievement I had to add more draw and some weapon creation to even get to the Bloodseeker. It took me far to long to bloody draw the weapon AND be able to attack with it. When I finally got it in my opening hand, the game crashed! Luckily cards like Hunter's Hunter's Pack and Pack Kodo come with secrets, so you can simultaneously work on that achievement.

[@hearthywatcher5179]

one again more great zeddy content. my only issue is I actually would have to do the guide and that's a lot of time. sadly no fair solution to it, but this is still a big time saver if I decide to finish it all at some point.

[@KnownAsKenji]

@17:43 I noticed this in a different way, Grimtotem glows yellow if there's an enemy collectible Legendary minion, but doesn't glow for a non-collectable Legendary such as a Sidequest reward, though it still can kill those so its actual in-game use isn't affected, but still, really weird.

[@Alex-vn1qr]

Thank you very much for the guide!

[@fossy365]

Video idea I had: The Zeddy Awards (or 'Zeddys'). Give nominations for different award categories (most toxic card/deck, best design, etc) and let your community vote for the winner. Then do a video where you read the winners in a tie. It would be mandatory for Nova to wear a bowtie.

[@salelkobou1971]

Thanks for this amazing guide and well done !! :)

[@KnownAsKenji]

For the Honorable Kill Achievement, if you feel like you need a boost, don't forget about Broom. In Wild, don't forget Houndmaster Shaw and even Warsong Commander. Other Rush enablers like that Trick card for Hunter will also work. Will you win? Arguable. But it lets you make HK plays on-point as opposed to playing them naked and hoping they live a turn in addition to the opponent playing out minions with workable stats. You could even go so far as Brewmaster and Shadowstep Broom, especially if limited to Standard.

[@Renoroc]

If you have Drakkari Enchanter, you can potentially double the amount of cubs summoned at the end of each turn and get 12 per game

[@mayeenmdtasin8584]

Peak instructional content. Thanks Zedd!

[@sovastudio8655]

Hi Zeddy. Google doc link says: file deleted. Pls give me a working link

[@hotpepper684]

Zeddy will save hearthstone.

[@ibilaibila]

Hi ^^ my little stone to the castle. For the hunter achievement " it's a trap " in mercenaries, the hero Tavish can cast 2 différents secrets and they count for the achievement. Not the better way to grind but if it could help somehone ^^ thx for all your work, your guides are really helpfull :) (sorry for the bad english)

[@2bad2slow28]

Great work. Much appreciated. Thx a lot!

[@nestlucky535]

Thanks for the guide, good work.

[@mtsoss1]

nice guide zeddy, keep up the good work

[@Jumbleman5]

Would you say this took more, less, or about the same amount of time to finish vs the stormwind expansion?

[@RomanCanda]

Your my new god, thanks a lot zeddy

[@sanpiero8963]

God bless you for this perfect guide

[@albinscott]

Instant like! thank you, Zeddy!

[@Chrysostomos]

I wait for your guides every xpac. Thanks, Zeddy!

[@argumentumadhominem3977]

I got the snowman achievement with yogg druid.

[@silvereloking6149]

Thank you.

[@KnownAsKenji]

I might make quite a few comments here. Achievement grinding while completing Daily Quests is all I've done this expansion. First off, if you're about to Concede and can get the opponent's life to 15, be a bro and do it.

[@KnownAsKenji]

@13:50 I'm really confused about this, I specifically pulled this off on an enemy Kazakus that was previously injured down to 1 health. I feel like these Achievements worked the first few days, but the patch glitched them.

[@KnownAsKenji]

Not the Yeti one though, that was broken day 1. I didn't know about the Core/Legacy thing btw, thanks for the tip.

[@MJZero254]

Thanks for this really appreciate your content

[@fabianshow6477]

great job! keep the good work!

[@herobrineez]

The Cariel (Prevent DMG with Immovable Weapon) is completable but you need to take at least 600 damage to face, with the weapon, it will prevent 300. I Queued with a hostage shaman with infinite shudderwock that gained over 2k attack, and got the achievement completed. 100% not worth it, waiting for the patch so my friends can complete it

[@ovinophile]

There’s really no excuse for so many achievement bugs. Automate some test cases or give a QA person half a day to make sure they all work.

[@Dej0kay]

bless you for this video

[@bonzostraguzzo]

thanks zeddy

[@bynoculars4376]

where is the boomkin achievement in the google doc?

[@locogato3488]

Thanks for the guide.

[@zhaf]

Dang! I stupidly did the Brasswing one in standard and not even enjoying playing the big paladin deck. I normally play in wild.

[@fluff0000zz]

This is amazing thank you

[@theotherguy4456]

Hey so I have tried to do the snow troll one and I have gotten the board state twice and it has not given me the achievement the only thing that was wields like one was golden and 2 were not not sure if this is a glitch but something I have experienced

[@kuman1212]

Good job but when you have only half of the expansion cards (most commons and rares) it is impossible.

[@ZeddyHearthstone]

You can try and draft some of the new cards in casual duels but yeah it's unfortunate how many are tied to epics and legendaries.

[@KnownAsKenji]

Just ignore the ones you can't get, the XP reward each is minimal.

[@JockyCGE]

I had to craft Treachery for that Hollow Abomination achievement for killing a legendary 😭😭 I played bloodmage thalnos on turn 8, gave it to my opponent with treachery, and played hollow abomination to kill it 😭

[@KnownAsKenji]

Never ever craft for Achievements, dood, wtf are you doing. I hope you can at least put that Trechary to good use, it does have meme applications.

[@Claptrap_]

Some years ago: we are introduce achievements. Everybody: yeah OK whatever. Today: OK so this only can be done in one turn. Tricky but 200 attack are doable.

[@WazzUp_]

Thank you

[@kornx10]

Thanx for the guide

[@disregardable]

Guide for new achievements would be nice.

Title: Fractured in Alterac Valley Description: United in Stormwind

[@ZeddyHearthstone]

Thanks fixed it

[@Elsuya_Milo]

To be honest, what's the diffrence?

[@kourii]

@@ZeddyHearthstone You got it Zeddy ;)

[@flour4798]

Very nice

[@huzzlin4979]

The amount of time spent to earn 100xp or 200xp, you're better off winning games. Anyone calculated if it's worth spending the grind for the achievements?

[@231alexx]

Thx zeddy for the chilwind yeti tip.

[@KnownAsKenji]

Same. Tried it multiple times since day 1 of expansion because it should've been easy. Nice to get that one cleared.

[@frankmad9623]

@@KnownAsKenji i don't get how to do this one, can you give me a deck code pls?

[@ChessHoodie]

The important information is how much time is needed to complete all of them? For the previous expansion, I spent at least 20 hours if not much more, I can't really tell. For me it was a challenge and I didn't follow any guides, although I was aware of your guide. In hindsight, it was a huge waste of time. I decided to do some of them this time around, but people should be warned that it can be dangerous, since time is precious

[@mrsweetkandy7673]

I recommend having normal play sessions vs achievement sessions, avoids feeling the grind suck your energy too much and gives you diversity

[@paavoautio1974]

Thanks for tip i got wing commander on first try

[@silva81]

What do i get from chests? Xp?

[@Hafanii]

100 to 500 xp

[@pathosprairie]

I don't think the KotFT Hero cards work, I won a game with Bloodreaver Gul'dan and didn't get credit for it.

[@justin_moh_9818]

What can u do with the golden coins ? They are so useless…

[@soapfoam]

i sware if it werent for cheevo hunting i wouldnt be a salty toxin. cheevos and bad designed quests like "hero power 50 times" which take forever without certain legendaries.

[@miguelcsaraujo]

Thanks for the public service;)!

[@jaygee5546]

Zedward. Are you the legend that shared this on reddit?

[@raduciungan7042]

The abomination achievement is so dumb. I killed a 1 health Flame Leviathan with the abomination battlecry and a 7 health Rokara with abomination at 7 attack by running into it and still didn't achieve it.

[@Ikobot.]

So broken achievments. How does Alterac addon pass QA?

[@jinleng74]

I have been looking for solution to the mystery achievement for this current expansion, which reward the Shimmering Snowflake card back. Can’t seems to find it.

[@marcitorodrigues5366]

honestly the XP is just not worth for the time you spend, but amazing video

[@KnownAsKenji]

There's niche circumstances that could work, like Daily Quest completing for classes you don't like, so you do that in whichever of Wild/Standard you don't typically try at, and throw some of this in at the same time. Or just in general, there's a few like the Reverse dooder that are easy to throw in a deck once and get, you just have to read and know it's there. You're right though, mathematically it's not worth it to get everything, more XP can always be earned by playing best deck and trying to win.
