An achievement that can be earned during the fight with one of the five Crusader's Coliseum bosses, Argent Confessor Paletress. She is not on PTR yet, so the specifics of this achievement isn't known yet.

Speculations from World of Raids points out that you may be able to fight a boss during the spell that you have experienced before. Maybe we'll be able to partially fulfill the dream of killing Van Cleef as a raid boss.

Comment by Faradize

You have earned the achievement: !

Comment by Alcanarias

I'm slightly disappointed that Kael'Thas isn't on this list, which undoubtedly means he won't be one of the possible memories. It would have been good to see him come back after that setback in Magister's Terrace, even if it was in memory form.

Comment by Freigedank

Trial of the Champion was merely a setback...

Comment by 439430

all of these comments are all well and good. but, how do you "suppress the memory"? every time the preisty lady cast the memory, it was uninterruptable. so any tip would be appreciated here. thanks!

Comment by Lmjkdd6

Nope it's pretty much random. You can get a boss even if you've never killed it, but in the "lore" you've already cleared all of the instances.

Comment by TegoZanduba

If you get one you've already gotten -- with the consent of your group -- you can wipe and next attempt it'll be random again which one you get.

Who wants to spend 500g repairs to see Hogger?

Comment by 184074

It seems like this boss (and subsequently, the achievement), randomly picks one person in the group, and then picks a mob on the list that killed you the most.

I don't really have a lot of proof for this (my deadliest mob is Sarth, and he's not on the list), but I get Heigan way too often for it to be a coincidence. I know my guild (before I joined) racked up a lot of Illidan deaths and lots of us have seen him too.

Perhaps I just need to go die to Hogger ~30 times.

Comment by RogueLeader

After beating this place to death on a more or less daily basis on 9 different 80s over the last couple months, I noticed I've never seen quite a few of these pop up, and have seen others quite often. So I'm wondering if this (read: certain oft-appearing memories, not necessarily the same ones as I) is a commonplace thing due to RNG, or if there are a few omitted memories.

Often shown up:

Ignvar
Kalithresh
Eck
Cyanigosa
Delrissa

Never appeared:

Illidan
Vashj
Vezax
Algalon
Thunderaan
Hakkar

Comment by Daralyn

I'cant figure out this...

At Trial of champion get credit for... it is mean that you can do it on normal mod or only heroic (cuz that name is Grand Champion)

asking because i think if i can do it solo at 85... i don't think i can do this on hero by myself and ppl don't want to go here ussualy

Comment by Ghaleon

You'll need at least 2 people to beat the first jousting encounter. This is not soloable, due to the fact that they trample anything in melee range.

To clarify, Paletress IS soloable. The first boss (the jousting encounter), which you must complete first, is NOT soloable.

Comment by SoooWhoCares

Got the achiev. Then I was curious if it was possible to get credit for the other bosses too if they ever appear. Two tries - just to be sure (yes, on hc; yes, with bosses I haven't had before and yes I got the boss for that twice) - none counted. So you'll be stuck with the 5 bosses you got the achiev for and the others will remain greyed out (marked as never met) even though you probably beat them.

Meh.

Comment by fday

During heroic Trial of the Champion, memories of the past are summoned by Argent Confessor Paletress. Distinct five of them must be killed.

Comment by Tiefflieger

Some short infos for this achievement:

You can do this dungeon once a day
It's all about the second boss.
Either of Argent Confessor Paletress or Eadric the Pure appear as the second boss. It's random which one appears, you'll need Argent Confessor Paletress
Don't kill Argent Confessor Paletress right away
Wait until she summons the memory. However you must at least hit her once, but you cannot kill her with just one hit.
By resetting the boss, you can re randomize which memory is summoned by Argent Confessor Paletress if she's active.
By resetting the boss, you cannot re-randomize if Argent Confessor Paletress or Eadric the Pure appears.
Reset the boss by leaving the instance
I suggest burning down the first trash unmounted while they only have one shield buff

Comment by Systex

@#$% this achievement, I'm on 4/5 and I've been doing this dungeon for 2 weeks now and always get Eadric the Pure...

Comment by Gormadok

drama -4 memories and then algalon dozen of times.

Comment by 484545

Is this achievement bugged or broken? I've run ToC through Paletress 4 or 5 times now (resetting when I get Eadric the Pure). I bought a low level, white quality bow, and fight with no gear on to ensure I don't one-shot the memory, but even though I've killed 4 different memories that I did not previously have credit for, I'm not getting credit for them. I only need one more for the achievement, so this is really frustrating. Do you have to ill her slower than I am, or what?

Comment by rhymanoserous

Resetting the Confessor does NOT work. I just made a wowhead account right now and this is my first post just to vent my frustration. I get to Confessor and, with no gear on, punch her with my 110 hunter to 50% or 25% on the dot (i do 25% damage per hit every time) and she ONLY spawns Hogger. I FD or FD and leave instance and she only spawns Hogger about a dozen times now. They must have hot fixed it to emphasize "separate visits" text in achievement. Very recently I might add since I see people in comments using the reset mechanic in early 2016.

Comment by Tontons

It seems she has been patched so the achievement is available in higher levels - I did 1 hit and did not kill her but got her down to 1 HP instead.

Comment by Zackaryu

For those of you who are still running for this Achievement, I can confirm that these are indeed MEMORIES, ergo, you have to have beaten five of the specified bosses previously on the character you go with.

I'd recommend going as Hunter or Rogue, because if Paletress summons a memory you already have, you can simply Feign Death or Vanish to reset the boss fight, and she'll summon something else.

Comment by ZaHunter14

I was wondering if you have to have defeated the memories with that character before they will appear.
My rogue alt hasn't done many of the older raids, main reason I was doing the achieve with a rogue was to be able to use Vanish, but he was getting only Cyanigosa, Mutanus and Ingvar.
I went in with my Warrior and got a different memory.
This has been my main since TBC so has done quite a lot more than my rogue alt.
I will stick with the warrior even though we have no reset ability.

Basically Argent Confesor Paletress summon a "memory" of a boss you have already killed in past. No Hogger kills = no Hogger memory.

Comment by Wildcupcake

A few things to say about this achievement.. From 2018.

The dungeon has to be on Heroic difficulty.
It's a random spawn between her and Eadric the Pure and you can't reset the dungeon to get a new try on the spawn. The boss will be active until the dungeon resets.
She will only summon a memory when shes below 50% health, making it slightly harder for high level characters to complete the achievement. I suggest removing all your gear and only hit her with your fist 2-3 times. This makes it doable.
You HAVE to kill her after the memory, in order to get credit towards the achievement. This means you can't reset the fight and get all 5 memories in 1 day.
You only need 5 memories in order to complete the achievement. BUT! She will only show memories of the bosses you have killed during your time in WoW on that specific character. This means, if you literally haven't killed any of the mentioned bosses above, you simply won't get any memories.

Comment by Mapekz

To add to what everyone else has said, you do not have to do anything special to get credit for this achievement. The Confessor puts up an immunity bubble that prevents her from dying until you kill the memory. You don't have to worry about killing her slowly to ensure you get credit for defeating the memory.

Comment by Mirades

You can farm more than just 5 Bosses for the achievement. But you can't get all (atleast not anymore, dunno if they will fix it). I'm very sure you can not get Hogger, Hakkar, Thunderaan and Onyxia. I tried farming them for hours! i resetted all 25sec with my hunter and got like every other Boss 20+ times. But not once i got one of those. And the last thousand tries i farmed the other ones to try and complete the achievement 100% i oviously didn't get one of those 4 Bosses either. So i'm very sure they are not possible to get atm.

Comment by adamfazai

You have to have only 5 memories

Also have to kill her after u kill the memory
in order to memory activates for achievement.

Comment by saoky

You can do this achievement in one day as hunter.

1. Attack boss (she will survive with 0 HP)
2. She will summon a memory
3. Kill the memory
4. Feign Death after killing the memory as soon as possible
5. She will reset and you can start a new fight where she will summon another memory

Comment by Ignissimo

Is it possible to kill all 25? What will happen then?

Comment by vyndrian

You can only summon shadows of bosses you have killed in the past. Some of these are no longer possible to kill:

Hogger -- Hogger started off as an elite quest mob in Elwynn Forest. As of Cataclysm, Hogger was moved from Elwynn Forest to the Stormwind Stockade dungeon. This achievement does not track new Hogger kills; thus, only toons who killed Hogger pre-Cataclysm can spawn him as a shadow.

Hakkar -- Hakkar started off as a boss within the Zul'Gurub raid. As of Cataclysm, Zul'Gurub was redesigned as a dungeon and Hakkar was removed. As of Battle for Azeroth, Hakkar can be fought and defeated within the De Other Side dungeon. This achievement does not track new Hakkar kills; thus, only toons who killed Hakkar pre-Cataclysm can spawn him as a shadow.

Onyxia -- Onyxia started off as a boss within Onyxia's Lair. As of patch 3.2, Onyxia's Lair was redesigned to accommodate max-level players to celebrate Warcraft's fifth anniversary. This achievement does not track Onyxia kills within the redesigned Onyxia's Lair raid OR Onyxia kills within the Blackrock Descent raid added in Cataclysm; thus, only toons who killed Onyxia pre-patch 3.2 can spawn her as a shadow.

Ignis, Vezax, & Algalon -- These three started off as bosses within Ulduar. As of Legion, Ulduar was redesigned to accommodate Timewalking raids, removing the 10- and 25-man variants of the raid and replacing it with a scaling raid system. This achievement does not track Ignis, Vezax, or Algalon kills made within the redesigned Ulduar raid; thus, only toons who killed these bosses pre-patch 7.3.5 can spawn them as shadows.

Thunderaan IS still possible to summon; however, you must kill Thunderaan, who is only spawned during the legendary questline for Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker in the original Silithus zone (changed to Silithus: The Wound in Battle for Azeroth). You must complete the questline yourself or be present and participate in someone else's kill.

Hope this clears things up!

Comment by Gaidrus

very terrible annoying achievement. if you want to get that achievement faster, maybe do it with more than 1 character. because if you are unlucky like me, you get from 13 days 8 days just the other boss, where you cant progress to this achievement.

Comment by Rogoni

As of the date of July 1st 2023, I was able to do all 5 in a single day on a hunter.
The way I did it was:
- Keep the Achievement tab open so you can track the memories (I don't suggest 'tracking' the achievement because 25 memories won't fit)
- Tag the boss with tranquilizing shot macro ( /cast Tranquilizing Shot) so I dont kill her right way
- (optional) Kick one cast so she gets away from the center
- When she is a bit far from the center, you hit her (she won't die, but instead remain with 1 life)
- See which memory spawned
- if it is NOT one that you want, / / / any reset spell
- if it is one that you want, kill it and KEEP LOOKING AT THE ACHIEVEMENT, as soon as the memory was tagged successfully for the achievement, Feign Death instantly
As far as I got to test, she only 'dies' for real when she reaches some distance near the center, so if you feign death or something before she gets to the center, you can pretty much reset the fight

Video of me doing the last attempt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8M7z45qGi8

Comment by Greggy

Update as of Dragonflight (2/12/2024)
Completed as a 474 Frost Mage

Heroic Difficulty
Keep your "Argent Lance" equipped for this fight (received from weapon rack before you encounter the 1st boss
When you start the 2nd Boss fight, you will either have "Argent Confessor Paletress" or "Eadric the Pure" spawn. If Eadric spawns, exit Dungeon and re-enter until Argent Confessor Paletress spwans as the 2nd Boss
You will need to have some sort of Interruption to stop her "Renew" (she uses between 55% & 70%
Once she reaches 50% health, kill her and the Memory that spawns

If you did this correctly, you should get the Achievement
