WoW Midnight · Season 2
Midnight Delves Season 2
Every delve in the rotation with its zone and the story objectives the client ships, the tier ladder with sourced item levels, Bountiful keys, Valeera and the Azta'rec Nemesis fight.

What changed in Season 2
Delves are short solo or small-group scenarios. You pick a tier from 1 to 11, clear the story objectives and the end boss, and open a coffer at the end. A companion fights with you, and in Season 2 that companion is Valeera Sanguinar.
Our client data lists 12 delves with a Bountiful map pin and 45 story scenarios across them, so each delve plays out as one of several stories. The table below links each one to its full objective list.

Bountiful delves, Coffer Keys and shards
A Bountiful delve has a locked coffer at the end. A Restored Coffer Key opens it. The client describes the pieces like this:
- Coffer Key Shards: "Acquired from treasures, World Quests, and outdoor events throughout Midnight Zones. Entering a Delve combines 100 shards into a Restored Coffer Key." Source: TheWoWDB datamine of the retail client.
- Restored Coffer Key: "Restored from combining 100 Coffer Key Shards obtained from the outdoors. Opens a Bountiful Coffer within a Bountiful Delve." Source: TheWoWDB datamine of the retail client.
- Bounty's Remnants: "Obtained from completing bountiful delves. Use 100 Bounty's Remnants to open a Hidden Trove. It's contents depend on the completed Delve's Tier." Source: TheWoWDB datamine of the retail client.
- Untainted Mana-Crystals: "Can be earned after reaching rank 9 of the Delver's Journey. May be obtained from opening Bountiful Coffers with Restored Coffer Keys inside of bountiful delves at Tier 11. Can be traded with Zah'ran for powerful equipment." Source: TheWoWDB datamine of the retail client.
All 12 rotation delves have a Bountiful version of their map pin in the client, so any of them can come up Bountiful. Venomfall Deeps has no Bountiful pin. Which delves are Bountiful today is live server state. We do not track it, so this page does not claim a current list.
A hidden tracker currency in the client carries a designer note: Delver's Journey and companion experience from Bountiful end-of-run rewards count 28 times a week per account, and treasure chests are not bound by that cap. It is an internal note, not patch text, so treat it as a datamined hint. Source: TheWoWDB datamine of the retail client.
- Rank 6 of the Delver's Journey lets you buy 2 Restored Coffer Keys per week. Source: Conquest Capped: Midnight Delves Season 2, August 9, 2026; Warcraft Wiki: Midnight Season 2, October 5, 2026.
Nemesis: Azta'rec in Venomfall Deeps
- Azta'rec is the Season 2 Nemesis. His lair is Venomfall Deeps on the Coiled Isle. Source: Blizzard: Midnight Season 2 is Now Live!, August 18, 2026; Warcraft Wiki: Midnight Season 2, October 5, 2026.
- The two Nemesis difficulties open after a clean tier 7 clear and a clean tier 10 clear. Source: Conquest Capped: Midnight Delves Season 2, August 9, 2026.
The client files Venomfall Deeps on The Coiled Isle as one scenario with a single objective, "Azta'rec defeated". The Feats of Strength below are the client rows for this season's fight.
| Feat | Requirement | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| My Venomous Nemesis | Defeat Azta'rec in his lair during Midnight Season 2. | Reward: Apophic Patagia |
| Purging the Poison | Defeat Azta'rec in his lair on Tier ?? during Midnight Season 2. | Title: the Poisonous |
| Let Me Solo Him: Azta'rec | Defeat Azta'rec in his lair on Tier ?? without any other players in your party during Midnight Season 2. | Reward: Apophic Soul Crusher |
| Fabled Let Me Solo Him: Azta'rec | Defeat Azta'rec in his lair on Tier ?? without any other players in your party, within the first week of Midnight Season 2. | Title: Fabled Vanquisher of Azta'rec |

Companion: Valeera Sanguinar

- You set her role to Damage Dealer, Healer or Tank. Her poison is a separate choice node in the same menu as her Curios, so it does not depend on the role. Source: Conquest Capped: Midnight Delves Season 2, August 9, 2026.
