Tazavesh M0 is Hard Mode by default and is available on August 5 with the start of Season 3—both wings will be available in Heroic Group Finder, and drop Hero track gear.
New Delve: The Archival Assault
Found within the Azure Vaults within the Dragon Isles, you’ll encounter ethereals, ethereal pirates, and brokers who are plundering the Delve.
Use the Reshii Wraps to unlock unique challenge gateways to bosses or challenge rooms. You may also catch a glimpse of your friends within the Delve, or even mourn them as you observe their ghost from where they died.
This Season’s Nemesis is Nexus-Princess Ky’veza, and she has unfinished business. With a shady disappearance back in Nerub’ar Palace, you’ll get your chance to face her one-on-one.
Along the Delver’s Journey progression, unlock customizations for the new Season 3 mount—Delver’s Mana Skimmer to help you delve straight into adventure, or maybe other dimensions. There are also two new toys to fill out your Collection—the Delver’s Mana-Bound Ethergate, which opens a portal to return to the Explorers’ League home base in Dornogal, and the Etheric Brannmorpher, which summons an Ethereal Transmorpher that can change your appearance.
Face a New World Boss: Reshanor, The Untethered
The ethereals of K’aresh first witnessed this destructive maw of the void after Dimensius’s attack. They believe Reshanor has manifested as their eternal punishment, for it comes back around to keep eating them and their planet as he grows infinitely bigger over the years.
