More than 150,000 World of Warcraft players defeated Tier 11 Kindo'jan during the first week of Patch 12.1.5, according to a count published by Wowhead. The site puts the North American total above 70,000 kills and the European total above 82,000.
The Labyrinth of Kindo'jan shipped with Patch 12.1.5 alongside a limited-time Fabled achievement, Let Me Solo Him: Kindo'jan. As with earlier Nemesis bosses, the achievement is awarded to any player who defeats Kindo'jan during the patch's opening week. Wowhead reports that the window has since been extended by an additional week because of the number of bugs in Labyrinths.
Reaching the boss is not the walk-in fight earlier Nemesis encounters were. Kindo'jan becomes available only after all nine chambers of the Labyrinth have been completed, a run Wowhead says usually takes at least 45 to 60 minutes and that offers no save points along the way.
That structure also hands groups a considerable amount of power before the fight starts. Because the chambers have to be unlocked first, players arrive at the boss having already banked three advantages the site describes:
- Large amounts of stats accumulated from Mislaid Curiosities across the nine chambers
- Hexmasks collected along the way, which grant bonus damage
- Conduits picked up before the encounter begins
Wowhead says that combination likely makes the boss much easier than intended. Many players have claimed kills in under 90 seconds, finishing the fight before its Intermission phase.
The 150,000 figure covers the first week alone, across both North American and European servers. With the extension in place, Wowhead reports that a second week of the Fabled Let Me Solo Him window remains.
