WoW Midnight Delves are short PvE instances that can be completed solo or in a group of 2–5 players. Delves have their own mechanics, difficulty progression, and reward system, and also function as a separate branch of endgame content. They have difficulty levels, seasonal changes, and their own rewards that scale with character development.

The new expansion adds new instances, and in WoW Midnight there are 11 new delves:

• The Shadow Enclave;
• Collegiate Calamity;
• Parhelion Plaza;
• The Darkway;
• Twilight Crypts;
• Atal’Aman;
• The Grudge Pit;
• The Gulf of Memory;
• Sunkiller Sanctum;
• Shadowguard Point;
• Torment’s Rise

These delves are Midnight-themed and feature scenarios in all new zones: Silvermoon and Eversong Woods, the Voidstorm, Harandar, and Zul’Aman. Here we offer a fresh glance at all new Midnight delves, their locations, and basics. By the way, our professional delvers can help you with any Delves, just ask!

How to Unlock Midnight Delves?

In Midnight, you need to be level 90 to enter and complete a delve of any tier in any zone. Also, you should have appropriate gear. It’s not an obligatory requirement, but with poor equipment, you have lower chances of completing the delve.

Since Midnight delve tiers unlock gradually, you need to start with tier-1 delves, and we advise you to pick up related quests at the delve hub (The Bazaar) in Silvermoon. Valeera Sanguinar will give you your first introductory quests to begin delving.

How to Find Midnight Delves?

All Midnight delves are marked on the map with a door icon. If the door glows, it’s a Bountiful delve with better rewards. Below is a full list of Midnight delves locations:

📌 Midnight delve map coordinates will be added soon.

How to Complete Midnight Delves?

To complete Midnight Delve, first find the entrance on the Midnight map, select the difficulty level, and enter (solo or in a group of up to 5 people). After entering, the main Delve objective is activated, which is displayed in the quest tracker on the right.

📌 Pay attention to quests that may be given by NPCs or posted as notes on the wall in the delve.

Further, everything depends on the specific scenario. In one Delve, you need to clear several areas; in another, complete a series of tasks and hold your position. Almost always, the final point is a boss or a key encounter, after which a reward chest opens. With the Delves Bundle, you can easily get multiple delves completed and all rewards gathered for you.

Midnight Delves Tips And Tricks

To successfully complete Midnight delves, it is important to follow the basic principles:

1. Do not ignore the mechanics of mobs and elites.
2. Control your positioning in narrow locations.
3. Use abilities based on timing, not cooldowns.
4. Keep an eye on resources at great difficulty levels.
5. Use consumables and buffs like in dungeons.
6. Focus on Bountiful delves for better rewards

Unlike Mythic+, there is no strict timer in WoW Midnight Delves. Therefore, the emphasis shifts from speed to control and stability.

Midnight Delves Changes

Midnight delves are an extension of the system that was originally established in The War Within, and the way that the system works, the rewards, and the difficulty have all changed in a number of key ways. If you have run Delves in TWW, then you will see that there is a greater emphasis on execution in Midnight WoW.

Key Midnight delves changes vs TWW:

• Seasonal High-Skill Challenge Added. Midnight introduces a Torment’s Rise challenge that requires defeating Nullaeus.
• New Achievement Structure. Achievements such as Fabled Let Me Solo Him: Nullaeus now allow for showing off solo mastery and mechanical skill.
• Higher Mechanical Difficulty. Enemy abilities in Midnight delves require tighter positioning, interrupt discipline, and defensive timing.
• More Defined Tier Scaling. Difficulty tiers in Midnight scale more aggressively.
• Stronger Integration with Seasonal Progression. Midnight connects Delves to the broader Season 1 progression path.

Midnight Delves Levels

In WoW Midnight delves level system is the basis of all progression. You can choose different tiers of delves to complete, and the strength of the enemies and the quality of the rewards directly depend on this. There are 11 difficulty levels in Midnight Delves, which are unlocked gradually:

• First, the basic tiers (1-3) are available, designed for comfortable completion.
• Next are the more challenging versions with stronger mobs, additional mechanics, and increased damage (4-8).
• Finally, there are the highest and most difficult levels (9-11), which combine all the enhancements of the previous levels but also offer additional rewards.

A solo player at a high tier will face a serious challenge, but will still be able to complete the content with the right build. That’s why our Delve Tiers Unlock is very helpful even if you have no team yet. What changes as you level up in WoW Midnight Delves:

• Enemy health and damage increase.
• Modifiers or additional mechanics are added.
• The quality of equipment from the final chest improves.
• The chance of rare rewards increases.

✏️ The optimal strategy is to gradually increase the Delves level as your item level increases. Jumping straight to the maximum tier is rarely justified. It is better to consistently complete a comfortable difficulty and move up step by step.

Midnight Delves Seasons

Seasons in Midnight delves work on the same logic as raids or Mythic+. The season starts on the set date and brings new reward levels, new seasonal achievements, updated modifiers, etc. Each new season in Midnight resets Delves progression, raises the item level cap, and adds new endgame goals.

✏️ If you farm Delves regularly, the start of the season is the best time to quickly reach the current gear level.

Midnight Delves Season Schedule:

Midnight Delves Companion

In WoW Midnight Delves, you have a companion who helps you complete content solo or in a small group. Valeera Sanguinar is the Midnight delve companion. She accompanies you in Delves and acts as a hybrid support fighter.

The companion in Midnight delves participates in battles, deals damage or heals you, uses abilities, and partially compensates for the lack of a full group. Over time, you can gain companion XP and upgrade them. Their effectiveness grows with the progression of Delves, and some talents and improvements are unlocked as you progress through the content.

Midnight Delve Mechanics

Each Midnight delve has a set of active elements: from combat modifiers to interactive objects. Basic mechanics form the foundation of Delves, while seasonal mechanics add variety and increase difficulty at higher levels. Core Midnight delves mechanics include:

• Environmental Hazards — traps, damage zones, destructible objects.
• Elite Modifiers — empowered mobs with additional effects.
• Objective-Based Phases — defending a point, collecting artifacts, and clearing waves.
• Boss-Specific Abilities — unique mechanics for final bosses.
• Scaling Pressure — increased damage and enemy density at higher tiers.

Also, in delves, you can find Curio Containers, caches with a companion XP, extra challenges, and more.

Midnight Nemesis Delve

WoW Midnight Delves Season 1 features a separate challenge within Torment’s Rise — a battle against Nullaeus. This mechanic is similar to battles against Zekvir or Ky’veza in previous seasons. The main focus in Nemesis Delve is on solo playthroughs and time-limited achievements.

Defeating Nullaeus in the Nemesis Delve is a must if you want to get the Glory of the Midnight Delver achievement. But even if you are not sure your skill matches this encounter, our team is here to help.

📌 The new Nemesis Delve, Torment’s Rise, is available for players who have completed Delve tiers 7 and 10.

Nemesis Delve Season 1 Achievements

• Fabled Let Me Solo Him: Nullaeus — Enter the top 1000 players in the region by defeating Nullaeus solo before the start of the next Delves season. Reward: Fabled Vanquisher of Nullaeus title.
• Let Me Solo Him: Nullaeus — Defeat Nullaeus solo before the end of the season.
• Lighting the Dark — Defeat Nullaeus at the required difficulty level before the end of the season.

This set of achievements enhances the competitive element of WoW Midnight Delves. It’s not just progress that matters here, but speed and individual control over mechanics. For players who enjoy solo challenges, Nullaeus has become the main focus of the first season.

Midnight Curio Containers

Midnight curio containers, also known as mislaid curiosities, are special rewards that you can find while completing WoW Midnight delves. They function as a separate loot system and often spawn helping buffs and consumables, or companions’ curios that can be very helpful, especially in higher-tier delves.
