Vision of N'Zoth
Last wiki revision 2023-10-02
The Visions of N'Zoth are a new instanced content in patch 8.3.0. Titanic Research Archive and Ashjra'kamas, Shroud of Resolve legendary cloak are used in the visions.
After being freed from the Last Prison during the Fourth War, N'Zoth began trying to tear down the veil separating the physical world from Ny'alotha unleashing nightmares and visions of a future in which the Old Gods are ascendant unto Azeroth.
''As despair and madness consume the land, the heroes of the Horde and the Alliance will need to fight for their sanity—and the fate of their wounded world. Delve further into the future that the Old God N’Zoth envisions for Azeroth and gird your mind against his maddening Assaults and Horrific Visions.''
From Uldum and the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, players may access the:
- Vision of the Twisting Sands
- Vale of Eternal Twilight
Players may receive Coalescing Visions once per day, with a larger amount once per week. The first weekly completion may also grant Breath of Everlasting Spirit.
From the Chamber of Heart, players may access the:
- Vision of Stormwind
- Vision of Orgrimmar
Players seeking bigger challenges and the next exchelon of rewards can adventure into bonus areas of Heroic Visions to discover Faceless Masks.
Completing a Horrific Vision may reward up to item level 470, divided into tiers listed below. However, it is only possible to receive each tier once per week. Subsequent runs will grant the highest-remaining eligible tier.
There are five faceless masks in total. The first requires completing all five objectives in a single visit, and the remainder are only possible with at least one mask active:
- Faceless Mask of the Long Night - reduces Sanity cap by 50%
- Faceless Mask of the Burned Bridge - spawns void zones behind they player
- Faceless Mask of the Daredevil - increases incoming sanity damage from creatures by 400%
- Faceless Mask of the Pained - unlocks additonal madnesses
- Faceless Mask of the Dark Imagination - while below 50% sanity, summons enemies
Collecting all five awards the achievement Horrific Masquerade.
- The visions are first entered in questing Investigating the Halls, Descending Into Madness and Into the Darkest Depths.
- Entering the mind of N'Zoth is also done in the N'Zoth the Corruptor raid fight.
- The visions share a similar thematic to Hearthstone: Whispers of the Old Gods.
- PTR strings of patch 8.3.0 suggested that Stormheim would be attacked by N'Zoth's forces.
- It is unclear if the Visions of N'Zoth are versions of Azeroth in Ny'alotha or only versions of Azeroth from N'Zoth's mind.
- The Realm of Y'Shaarj is very similar to the Visions of N'Zoth, and it could be simply a vision of Y'Shaarj.
