This page will cover everything you need to know about the The Darkway Delve in the Midnight Expansion, including strategies for events, trash, and bosses.

1.

Getting into The Darkway

The Darkway is a Delve located on the Northern side of Silvermoon City, Eversong Woods.

This guide will provide all the specifics you need to complete the Darkway Delve across all tiers of difficulty (from Tier 1 to Tier 11). We will cover Delve events, optional bosses (rares), as well as the Delve 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 Darkway

3.1.

Event #1: Focusers Under Pressure

In this event, the Twilight's Blade has invaded the Arcway to sabotage the Ley Lines that nourish the Shal'dorei people. To do this, you must traverse the Delve in search of Ley Line focusers and bring them back to the center of the Delve.

3.2.

Event #2: Leyline Technician

In this event, you must traverse the Arcway and realign Ley Line conduits, much like you had to do during the Suramar storyline in the Legion expansion. This time, tapping a Ley Line conduit only once per leyline crossed is enough - No mini-games required!

You will need to use the Ley Line conduits to empower three focus crystals in the Arcway, while killing members of the Twilight's Blade in the process.

3.3.

Event #3: Ogre Powered

This is a pretty straightforward event. Once you reach the middle portion of the Arcway to confront Infiltrator Gulkat, you must kill 7 Unstable Aberration. They're pretty simple enemies, but make sure to interrupt their Arcane Deluge casts.

Infiltrator Gulkat Delve Boss Guide

Infiltrator Gulkat is the final boss of all event variants in The Darkway, and is a pretty straightforward fight; here is what you have to do to defeat him more easily:

  • Make sure to interrupt Twilight Seekers Icon Twilight Seekers.
  • Abyssal Burst Icon Abyssal Burst deals damage in a cone in front of Gulkat - Dodge it.
  • The illusions summoned by Illusory Deceit Icon Illusory Deceit explode after a few seconds, keep your distance while dealing with Gulkat's abilities.
