Diablo 3 Achievements Guide - Act III Challenges

Act III Challenges

No Reinforcements (10 Points)
Destroy the Demon Gates before any Demon Troopers can spawn while fighting Azmodan on Hell difficulty or higher.

You have to focus on the Demon Gates that spawn and ignore Azmodan until you destroy the gates, to get this achievement.

Hot Foot (10 Points)
Kill Azmodan without walking over the bloody demonic ground on Hell difficulty or higher

You need to avoid taking damage from those black goos on the floor. Be on the move constantly for this one. If you take any dmg from the demonic ground, you will not get this achievement.

Be Cool (10 Points)
Kill Azmodan without getting hit by a fireball on Hell difficulty or higher

Azmodan Adds (10 Pts)
Kill Azmodan without killing any of his minions on Hell difficulty or higher

Your follower might be a problem here, because he will attempt to kill the minions. If you are having problems with this achievement, considering facing Azmodan without a follower.

Burning Bright (10 Points)
Light the fires before killing the Demonic Hell Bearers at the 5 Signal Beacons on the Skycrown Battlements

This is when you enter Skycrown Battlements during "The Siege of Bastion's Keep" quest. Ignore any Demonic Hellbearer until you are done lighting the five signal beacons.

No Man Left Behind (10 Points)
Achievement rewards: Banner Accent
Keep all soldiers alive while raising the catapults on the Stonefront

This is during the "Turning the Tide" quest, with the objective of protecting the recruits as they raise the catapult. For the first catapult, patrol the walls, kill the monsters as soon as they climb up so that they don't make it to the soldiers. The second catapult is tougher because the Hell Bearers spawn close to the soldiers, so you have to act quickly. For the third catapult, there is only one soldier to watch. You have to help him raise the catapult, though, so keep a constant watch on the soldier, and aid him if any demon is getting too close.

Knock Knock
Get Demonic Tremors to burst through 5 different doorways without leaving the same level of the Keep Depths

At level 2 of Keep Depths there is a Demonic Tremor, lure it and have it chase you through five doorways to get this achievement.

Achievement Reward: Banner Sigil
Kill Ghom without getting hit by his gas attack

Takes a Lickin' (10 Points)
Get licked by 5 different Soul Rippers, Soul Lashers, or Soul Devourers at once.

Get a bunch of those together, and stay near them without killing them until they perform the attack. You might have to gain a few levels so that you can withstand the damage.

Tear Down This Tower (10 Points)
