Greetings, Denizens of the Azeroth Galaxy!

Brace yourselves! We’re about to venture into the depths of the Gulf of Memory a realm as treacherous as my Sith apprentices’ decision-making skills.
But fear not, for with this guide, we’ll conquer the mobs, dodge the traps, and outsmart those annoying plants on the ceiling.
Let’s dive in, shall we?

🌀The Innkeeper’s Note (TL;DR)

In the Gulf of Memory, you'll tackle three event versions, each packed with unique bosses, trash mobs, and loot. Make sure to stay on top of key mechanics to conquer Lumenia and Mul'tha'ul. This delve requires careful navigation of environmental hazards, mob packs, and timed objectives, so don't be caught unprepared! Below is everything you need for a smooth run.

• Watch the Ceiling!: Ceiling plants deal damage if you walk under them. Watch out for the green circles!

• Keybind Extra-Action Button: Alnmoth Munchies requires pollen collection, so keybinding your extra-action button is a must.

• Light vs. Darkness: Stay within lit areas during the "Descent of the Haranir" event to avoid hefty damage debuffs.

• Avoid the Tentacles: Mul'tha'ul’s tentacle mechanic can ruin your run if you aren’t careful, kite him away.

• Focus on the Adds: In Lumenia's fight, focus on adds and use the light zones to your advantage.

The Gulf of Memory Location

Western Harandar, located within the Den of Echoes, this delve sits between Eversong Woods and Zul'Aman, nestled in the heart of Harandar’s forgotten history.

📃 Versions of The Gulf of Memory Delve

There are 3 versions of the Gulf of Memory Delve, each with different mechanics and objectives:

1. Alnmoth Munchies

2. Sporasaur Special

3. Descent of the Haranir

📃 Alnmoth Munchies

In Alnmoth Munchies, you’ll use moths to contain the spread of Lightbloom throughout the delve.

⚡ Quick Guide

Starting the Delve:
Speak to Ashyao, who will give you the extra-action button to devour Lightbloom bushes and defeat Rutaani invaders. You’ll need to collect pollen and defeat enemies to fill the progress bar.

• Collect pollen by using the extra-action button to devour Lightbloom bushes.

• Defeat Rutaani invaders to fill the progress bar.

• Once the progress bar is filled, Lumenia, the boss for this version, will spawn.

Once you’ve collected enough pollen and defeated the required enemies, the boss fight with Lumenia will begin. Get ready to handle Radiant Command and Searing Light during the encounter!

Lumenia

Focus on adds summoned by Radiant Command, avoid Searing Light patches, and mitigate Malignant Gleam.

• Radiant Command: Summons an add that fixates on you. Focus down the add before it reaches you to avoid heavy damage.

• Searing Light: Spawns light zones that disorient you if you’re facing them. Turn away to avoid the effect.

• Malignant Gleam: Deals holy damage. Use cooldowns to mitigate this.

📃 Sporasaur Special

In the Sporasaur Special, you’re facing off against explosive monsters! It’s all about removing shields and strategically using spores.

⚡ Quick Guide

Starting the Delve:
It's time to defeat some enraged Sporasaurs!

• Defeat 3 Sporesaurous, bouncing spores back onto them to remove their damage reduction shields.

• Spores are indicated with a green circle on the ground (Careful, they explore!)

With the Sporasaur special, timing is everything. Keep your distance and be ready to bounce those spores!

Once this is done, you are ready to fight Lumenia!

Lumenia

Focus on adds summoned by Radiant Command, avoid Searing Light patches, and mitigate Malignant Gleam.

• Radiant Command: Summons an add that fixates on you. Focus down the add before it reaches you to avoid heavy damage.

• Searing Light: Spawns light zones that disorient you if you’re facing them. Turn away to avoid the effect.

• Malignant Gleam: Deals holy damage. Use cooldowns to mitigate this.

📃 Descent of the Haranir

As you descend into memory, the Haranir’s past comes alive with both danger and treasures. Keep your wits sharp!

⚡ Quick Guide

Starting the Delve:
Begin by lighting 8 candles to reduce the Darkness debuff which increases your damage taken by 25%. You’ll need to stay within the lit areas to avoid the Darkness.

• Light candles to keep the Darkness debuff at bay.

• Collect treasure from Kobolds or by looting trash heaps.

• Free 8 Haranir from webs in the Nerubian area.

• Defeat Abominations in the final area to fill the progress bar and summon the boss.

Once you’ve completed the objectives and filled the progress bar, the boss fight against Mul’tha’ul will begin. Prepare to handle Hopeless Curse and Tentacle Slam during the encounter!

Mul’tha’ul

Avoid the tentacles and use your movement skills to dodge the damage from his Unanswered Call.

• Hopeless Curse: Deals Shadow damage and reduces Haste and Movement Speed. Interrupt or dispel this as much as possible. Valeera healing will be handy here.

• Tear It Down: Spawns a tentacle that slams into players. Kite Mul'tha'ul away from these tentacles.

• Unanswered Call: Increases Mul'tha'ul’s damage. Stay away from him while he channels this ability.

The Delver’s Hub: Silvermoon City and The Bazaar

In an unprecedented move, the Midnight Delve operations have been centralized in Silvermoon City’s Bazaar district.
/way 51.72, 78.07
No more fragmented hubs! Here, you’ll collaborate with fellow adventurers, share knowledge, and accumulate power.
The Bazaar acts as a neutral ground for both the Horde and Alliance. But don’t mistake neutrality for weakness; this is where the power of the Void is confronted.

And speaking of power, Valeera Sanguinar, the masterful Delve companion, will be your guide.

Valeera Sanguinar: A Tactical Genius at Your Side

Valeera is no mere companion. She’s the embodiment of deadly precision, a tactical mastermind. You’ll find her divided into three specialized roles:

1. Damage Specialization: A burst of power, with Assassinate for swift, devastating kills and No Witnesses for momentum.

2. Healing Specialization: Proactive healing with Vampiric Reaping and Crimson Vial Fumes. It’s all about gathering health from the battlefield.

3. Tanking Specialization: Frontline control with abilities like Fan of Knives and Scar of Kathra'natir for damage mitigation.

Don’t you just love it when a warrior has the power of stealthy retribution?

What spec do you use for Valeera?

I haven't noticed much of a significant use in the DPS and Tank specs. Personally, I just use her as a healer, and it's the same with Brann.

Here is my current set (until I get her better skills)

Combate role - Healer
Combat Curio - Mantle of Stars
Utility Curio - Mandate of Sacred Death

Harandar

Journey to Harandar, where the Gulf of Memory and The Grudge Pit hold dark history and even darker power.

The Gulf of Memory

Delve into a sunken abyss where memories fade into nightmares. Every step forward is a journey into forgotten realms.

📜FAQ / Quick Tips

What are Delves in World of Warcraft: Midnight?

World of Warcraft: Midnight Delves are role-agnostic, instanced PvE adventures designed for solo players or small groups of up to five. These short, repeatable scenarios offer a dedicated endgame progression path alongside traditional raids and Mythic+ dungeons. They feature 11 difficulty tiers and rotating daily objectives to keep gameplay varied.

Who is the new Delve companion in the Midnight expansion?

Valeera Sanguinar is the new seasonal companion for Midnight, replacing Brann Bronzebeard. Players can customize her role to act as a Tank, Healer, or DPS to complement their class. Her power is further augmented by "Curios" slottable artifacts that provide massive combat spikes or utility, such as the defensive Mantle of Stars.

How do I progress the Delver’s Journey and reach Rank 10?

The Delver’s Journey is a seasonal progression track consisting of 10 ranks, requiring a total of 42,000 points to complete. You can earn progress points by finishing Bountiful Delves (50–150 points), opening Bountiful Coffers with Restored Coffer Keys (250 points), and completing the weekly quest, "The Key to Success" (1,500 points).

What are Bountiful Delves and how do I get the best loot?

Bountiful Delves are daily rotating versions of standard Delves that offer superior rewards. To access the best gear, you must use a Restored Coffer Key on the Bountiful Coffer at the end of the run. Standard Delves provide non-upgradeable gear, making Bountiful runs the priority for character progression.

How do I defeat Nullaeus and unlock the Arcanovoid Construct mount?

Nullaeus is the Season 1 Nemesis boss located in the Torment's Rise Delve within the Voidstorm zone. To unlock the Arcanovoid Construct mount, you must defeat him solo on the "Challenge Tier" difficulty before the season ends.
