Kill Algalon the Observer on hard mode. Since Algalon has no normal mode, engaging him is enough to activate hard mode. To engage him, you will first have to do several other encounters on their hard mode:

Complete the Iron Council encounter on medium mode (Runemaster Molgeim last) or hard mode (Steelbreaker last)to allow 1 player to loot an Archivum Data Disc. This allows that player to obtain the sigils from Hodir, Thorim, Freya and Mimiron by killing them on their hard modes. These 4 sigils are required for the Algalon quest. Completing the Algalon quest rewards the Celestial Planetarium Key. Once Yogg-Saron has been killed, this key can be used to unlock the Planetarium where Algalon resides.

There are some who question the existance of Algalon's hard mode. Let this developer quote take away your doubts:

Hard mode is hard. Some hard modes are harder than others. Then there's Algalon the Raid Destroyer. He feeds off of your tears.

It is possible that your are not allowed to loose any raid members to Algalon during the raid lockout, since this is also true for the Heroic counterpart.

Because no one has tested either Yogg-Saron or Algalon, he will be the hardest boss in Ulduar simply because you need to have done hard modes on other bosses to even access him. Treat him as an optional extra boss and not an optional boss.

Completion of this achievement rewards you with the title: "Starcaller"

I think you mean to say "Kill Algalon the Observer".

Since he has no "normal mode", how can he have a hard mode?

This achievement requires only that you kill him in 10 man Ulduar and rewards the title "Starcaller <name>. There is a separate achievement to kill him in 25 man which rewards <name> the Astral Walker.

Looks like you only need one key per raid like Malygos.

What an awesome title-- it's perfect for a Balance Druid. :D

Algalon despawns one hour after you engage him and is gone for the remainder of the lockout. May be a while before we see any starcallers.

His model appears to be a modified Forsaken male, based on the casting animations and how he appears when idle.

The Algalon achievements have been adjusted in 3.1.2 so 10 and 25 match better.

10-man 25-man
Kill Observed Observed
<= iLvl 232* Kill Herald of the Titans --
Realm First Kill -- Celestial Defender
No Deaths (week) He Feeds On Your Tears He Feeds On Your Tears
* Blue posters confirmed Herald of the Titans changing to 232 (from 226) in 3.1.2. In game tooltip does not reflect this change.

Both versions also have Supermassive. Err, I mean Supermassive.

Prior to this patch, Observed was the "easiest" Algalon achievement on 10-man (required a kill), and the hardest on 25-man (no deaths in the lockout period). He Feeds was also inconsistent, requiring no deaths in the lockout period on 10 and only no deaths on the attempt in 25.

I guess Algalon shares something with a character of "X-men". To be precise, Silver Surfer.
Silver Surfer, err...I mean, Algalon, was sent to investigate and actually is a sort of herald, like Silver Surfer, both are observers, the eye of their masters. Both are sent to tasked to send a signal to start the destruction of the planets (in the case of Surfer, the Earth, in the case of Algalon, Azeroth) and both are cosmic entities.

His quotes also share some of the personality with Surfer.

Silver Surfer, herald of a superior cosmic being.
Algalon, herald of a superior cosmic race.
And all the things that share together that I listed before.
Call it a coincidence.

Completed world first by Ensidia, 18th May 2009. Only took a few hours of attempts...

EDIT: Yes, 1 hour per week. For a few weeks. That would be a few hours of attempts...

Комментарий от diablo451

Their Firefighter achievement was 27th Apr 2009, so that should be 4 hours of attempts and recovery. Well done indeed.

Комментарий от Malinq

Will the "Starcaller" title reward be removed from this achievement at any point? Basically, should I be worried about trying to complete this as soon as possible or can I chill and do it in Icecrown Citadel gear?
