Midnight Mythic+ Season 2 Guide

Midnight's Season 2 starts the week of August 18, 2026, and will last until the end of the 12.1 patch cycle, which is expected to last around 6 months.

The following dungeons are on rotation this season:

• Altar of Fangs
• The Blinding Vale
• Den of Nalorakk
• Murder Row
• Voidscar Arena
• King's Rest
• Ruby Life Pools
• Temple of Sethraliss

If you ventured into Mythic+ in The War Within, many of the affixes in Midnight Season 2 will be familiar to you. Midnight introduces just one new affix this season with Lindormi's Guidance.

These key levels have long been considered "entry-level" or beginner keys, for those just exploring Mythic+. Lindormi's Guidance is a new affix this expansion designed to help newcomers learn the dungeon routes and understand mob counts. Lindormi's Guidance will also make deaths feel less punishing and help new players adjust to running dungeons on a timer.

Keys at this level now carry the affix system introduced in The War Within with Xal'atath's Bargains. These affixes buff either players or enemies, depending on how well the whole group addresses them.

• Xal'atath's Bargain: Ascendant: killing these Ascendant orbs is not an option due to the size of the absorb shield, so players should plan to bring dispels, interrupts, displacements, or other stops for this affix.
• Xal'atath's Bargain: Voidbound: all players must swap to the Voidbound Emissary and burn it down as quickly as possible, while kicking every cast of Dark Prayer.
• Xal'atath's Bargain: Pulsar: this is a simple affix with a huge window for players to run to each other and clear their Pulsars. Some groups stack up to make clearing instantaneous.
• Xal'atath's Bargain: Devour: contrary to popular belief, this is not purely a healer affix, and in fact traditional healer dispels will only handle two of the five Devours. Players should handle their own dispels if possible, including using class or racial abilities like Stoneform.

Keys between +5 and +11 contain only one of the four available Bargains every week on a rotating schedule.

• Fortified: groups may prefer to plan Bloodlust and talent around dangerous trash packs instead of bosses. Crowd Control and kicks are also increasingly important on Fortified weeks.
• Tyrannical: groups may prefer to plan for more single-target damage builds and save Bloodlust for scary bosses on Tyrannical weeks. However, trash packs will still need to die in good time, despite the increased focus on boss damage!

Between key levels +7 and +10, Fortified and Tyrannical rotate on a weekly basis. At +10 and up, both affixes are active every week, presenting an entirely new challenge!

Xal'atath's Guile replaces all of Xal'atath's previous Bargains. At key levels +12 and up, Guile makes deaths much more punishing, thus rewarding safer play, more personal responsibility, and coordinated use of defensives and healer cooldowns for dangerous situations.

Keep an eye on this space in the upcoming weeks, as we will update with the first few weeks' affix rotations as soon as possible. In the weeks following Season 2 start, we will be closely monitoring the affixes for each week so we can determine the full affix rotation on Week 10.

The Timeways can be accessed through a golden portal, located at 53.3,66.1 in Silvermoon City. Lindormi and Agmera are standing next to it.

On the other side of this portal you will find the portals to each of the Season 2 dungeons that are not current Midnight content.

In the table below, you will find the item level of loot received at the end of the run and in the Great Vault the following week.

Difficulty Level	End-of-Run Item Level	Weekly Reward Item Level
Mythic +2	Champion 2/6 (295)	Hero 1/6 (305)
Mythic +3	Champion 2/6 (295)	Hero 1/6 (305)
Mythic +4	Champion 3/6 (298)	Hero 2/6 (308)
Mythic +5	Champion 4/6 (302)	Hero 2/6 (308)
Mythic +6	Hero 1/6 (305)	Hero 3/6 (311)
Mythic +7	Hero 1/6 (305)	Hero 4/6 (315)
Mythic +8	Hero 2/6 (308)	Hero 4/6 (315)
Mythic +9	Hero 2/6 (308)	Hero 4/6 (315)
Mythic +10 and up	Hero 3/6 (311)	Myth 1/6 (318)

The Great Vault requires you to clear a certain number of Mythic+ Dungeons per week to unlock item choices in the Dungeons category. You can find more details about the Great Vault and the requirements in our separate guide.

Gear in the War Within can be upgraded with crests and gold at Cuzolth, the Item Upgrade Vendor, found at 48.3, 61.7 in Silvermoon City, alongside Vaskarn, the Crest Exchange NPC.

You will find more details about gear upgrading and tracks in our separate gear upgrading guide.

Seasonal rewards include a title, mount, dungeon teleports, and an item that unlocks additional visual effects for your tier sets.

• Midnight Keystone Master: Season 2 — Attain a Mythic+ Rating of at least 2,000 during The War Within Season 2. Rewards the Breath of Blight mount.
• Attaining Midnight Keystone Master: Season 2 will also grant you Midnight Season 2: Serpent Scion (if you have not yet attained it from Heroic or Mythic Ula'tek in the Venomous Abyss).
• Midnight Keystone Legend: Season 2 — Attain a Mythic+ Rating of at least 3,000 during The War Within Season 2. Rewards the Breath of Ruin mount.
• Dungeon Teleports — Earned for each dungeon by completing a +10 or higher in that dungeon.

The Keystone Master mount for Midnight Season 2 is the Breath of Blight skeletal bird.

The Keystone Legend mount for Midnight Season 2 is the Breath of Ruin skeletal bird.

As expected, you can earn dungeon teleports by completing a timed Keystone Level +10 or higher run for that dungeon.
