TzKal-Zuk (HM) Grandmaster Speed Killer is an achievement that requires the player to defeat TzKal-Zuk in hard mode in less than 13 minutes and 30 seconds.
Strategy
[edit | edit source]The player must defeat both Zuk and the seventeen waves in a very short amount of time.
Players are recommended to use Necromancy for this achievement, as it has stronger AoE capabilities compared to magic. Spam Threads of Fate with high-damaging abilities such as four or five stack Volley of Souls, Death guard specials and Spectral Scythe. Enemies will need to be lured in order to have them targeted. Darkness, along with defensive abilities such as Devotion and Reflect, are essentially mandatory to survive otherwise fatal damage due to not using safespots.
The player should reach Zuk within 9-10 minutes, allowing for the rest of the time to fight him and the Conduit of Ful. Zuk will force an Igneous Rain mechanic should the player somehow deal 800,000 damage in one attack cycle. It is very unlikely for most players to achieve this damage, so it should be split into two cycles. Try to deal at least 400,000-450,000 damage within the first cycle and allot the time during Igenous Rain to reset damage rotations.
For the Conduit of Ful, make sure to apply Death Mark all five times; this reduces overall damage needed from 250,000 to 200,000.
