Navigating the Horrific Vision of Orgrimmar efficiently is the key to saving Sanity and maximing rewards! This week’s optimal route, mapped out by Miefnerz and Vegabundo_, lets you full-clear the city with minimal backtracking and includes a shortcut to Thrall. Let’s break it down step-by-step!
Start in Valley of Strength
- At the beginning of your run, immediately take out the two mobs standing in front of Thrall’s building. This will let you engage Thrall immediately after you’re done with all the zones, saving both time and Sanity.
- Next, identify the bad potion color! Enter the second building to your left. Inside, you will find two corpses on the ground next to a potion. Whatever the color is, that’s the bad potion for your run, and you should avoid drinking it as it will drain your Sanity. In our example, it was blue, but this changes with each run, so be sure to check every time.

Here’s also a useful WeakAura for Horrific Visions that allows you to easily mark the bad potion color.
Once those two things are out of your way, you’re ready to begin your route!
Recommended Route
- Head to The Valley of Wisdom and complete all objectives there first.
- Proceed to The Valley of Spirits as your second zone of the run and clear all the objectives there.
- Make your way to The Drag and complete it.
- Wrap up your run in The Valley of Honor. This is where you’ll face Misha and then Rexxar, who can be a tough fight, so watch your Sanity! You will find specific tips in our Horrific Vision of Orgrimmar strategy guide.
- Once Rexxar is down, a totem will appear on the ground. Interacting with it teleports you straight to the start (Valley of Strength).
- If you cleared the two mobs in front of his building at the start (as previously recommended), you can immediately engage Thrall and finish your run!
