This page will cover everything you need to know about the Grudge Pit Delve in the Midnight Expansion, including strategies for events, trash, and bosses.
Getting into the Grudge Pit
MISSING is a Delve located on the Southeast side of Harandar, by the similarily-named Grudge Pit area.
This guide will provide all the specifics you need to complete the MISSING delve across all tiers of difficulties (from Tier 1 to Tier 11). We will cover delve events, optional bosses (rares), as well as end of the dungeon boss and their abilities. If you would like to learn about the rest of the Delves in Midnight, please see our overviews linked below.

Events and Trash Mobs in the Grudge Pit
Event #1: Arena Champion
In this event, you will participate in the sporeling's arena championship, where you'll fighters through waves of mobs until you face the Arena Champion - the final boss of the Delve.
In this variant, Sporbits from The War Within are back to help you deal damage to arena mobs.
Event #2: Dastardly Rotstalk
In this event variant, you're entering the Arena as the Dastardly Rotstalk, a heel wrestling character. Upset the audience by punting fans, defeating fan favorite fighters, taunting the crowd and more.
You're able to move while taunting the crowd.
Event #3: Lightbloom Invasion
In this event, you must help with an invasion of Lightbloom mobs. It goes through several waves, involving freeing fighters blowing up spawners and building defenses.
Brightthorn Boss Guide
Brightthorn is the boss of the Lightbloom Invasion event of the Grudge Pit. This is one of the easier Midnight delves bosses, with a very straightforward ability rotation; here is what you have to do to defeat her more easily:
Solar Charge has Brightthorn charging in your direction, you can simply sidestep it.
Solar Charge also leaves overbloom void zones on the floor that deal damage when stood on, so make
sure to avoid them.
Bloom Thorn is a simple holy damage ability and can be interrupted.
Blinding Burst has Blightthorn burst in holy light, disorienting anyone who's looking
at her at the end of the cast. To avoid the disorient, turn away from her.
Gyrospore Boss Guide
MISSING is the boss of the Arena Champion event of the Grudge Pit. This boss is a little harder than Brightthorn, but its abilities are also pretty easy to deal with; here is what you have to do to defeat him more easily:
Fungalstorm is Gyrospore's main ability - He spins around the room for a few seconds,
dropping void zones in the process. After Fungalstorm is done, Gyrospore becomes dizzy, taking
increased damage for 10 seconds.
Fungsplosion has Gyrospore explode in AOE damage after a few seconds. As the damage
is near his melee range, step back to avoid the damage.
Fungal Charge is a simple charge in your direction - Side step once you see the cast
and you'll avoid it.
Mycomight Boss Guide
MISSING is the boss of the Dastardly Rotstalk event of the Grudge Pit. This boss is definitely the easier of the 3 delve variants; here is what you have to do to defeat it more easily:
- MISSING gives you an AOE effect where you'll drop a poison cloud on the floor after a few seconds. Make sure to drop it away from the area you intend to fight Mycomight at, as standing in the poison cloud slows you and deals moderate Nature damage.
- MISSING sends shockwaves across the arena that deals heavy damage and stuns anyone caught on. They're pretty easy to spot, so make sure to dodge!
- MISSING has Mycomight fling a literal chair on you, with a knockback and disorient if you get hit. Sidestep the impact area.
