Burned Bridge

Rexxar's Boars cast Void Quills which if you spawn more than one at a time will be very difficult to interrupt all of them.

Inquisitor Darkspeak casts Agonizing Torment often and if you're solo, you probably won't be able to interrupt all of them.

Magister Umbric casts Entropic Missiles often and especially if you're solo, you'll have to choose between saving your Sanity or ending up Polymorphed.

Each area will consist of 2 Madnesses (instead of 1).

Faceless Mask of Dark Imagination

Unlock Strategy for Faceless Masks

Unlock Faceless Mask of the Long Night by full clearing a Horrific Vision.

On your next Horrific Vision run, activate Faceless Mask of the Long Night and clear the Valley of Wisdom (Orgrimmar) or Mage Quarter (Stormwind). Doing so will unlock the masks tied to those zones which are significantly less impactful on your ability to clear.

Using your new Faceless Mask, clear the Lost Areas of both Orgrimmar and Stormwind to collect all the remaining masks.

Looking forward to fetching Dark Imagination tomorrow, having messed around too much last week.

Definitely at a level where I can do Orgrimmar with 4 masks, likely Stormwind as well. Long Night is still up for debate though but with 65% reduction with the next upgrade, I'll bet a 5 mask run might be approaching soon enough.

Comment by Pwuebear

It would be useful to add and build on a section covering all possible sanity loss effects for when you want to have Faceless Mask of the Daredevil active.

Comment by flossie116

Would be nice to have a list of recommended mask combinations for easiest clear too (ie: 1 mask X > Y > Z > etc, 2 masks: X+Y, 3 masks: X+Y+Z and any tips for clears with that specific set up. As someone just starting mask runs, trying to decide which are the easiest can be a little daunting (and thank you for the fantastic guide!).

Comment by Agrado

Something I wish the guide had told me: when you get the Faceless Mask of the Long Night it gives you a quest. Turning in the quest involves clicking the altar where you put the mask. This click does not activate the actual mask! You presumably have to click the altar again in order to activate it so as to not waste an entire run through the vision.

I feel like the gear reward item level section should be in this section or at least both.

https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/horrific-visions-potions-guide

1.1.1. Finding the Bad Potion in Stormwind
As soon as you zone into the Horrific Vision, you will be faced with the first set of trash in Cathedral Square. At the back of the current street, there is a pack of 2 mobs, a Fallen Voidspeaker and a Fallen Heartpiercer.

Potion Location in Stormwind
Just behind them, there is the corpse of Morgan Pestle that will always have one of the potions next to it. Whichever colour is there will be your bad potion for that run.

1.1.2. Finding the Bad Potion in Orgrimmar
Just as in Stormwind, there is a corpse in Orgrimmar that shows which potion is the bad one for that run.

On the left side of Thrall's building, head into the hut located just before the Blacksmith's building. There, you will find a corpse of a Voidbound Ravager next to a potion. This is the colour of potion that is bad for your current run.

since there is not guide here about,

In SW the toy vendor can be a free sanity regain,

Drop a train set, he will search his bags for train wrecker

kite away while needing to BURST his 3 bots down in 10 secs

if you fail just run away, (hes got a hard leash from where he is pulled) 30 min toy cd so it pretty much 1 attempt per run

for Free 200 sanity gain (i use before i hit final mage district)

Comment by Netspook

Some info is a bit vague here.

For example, it just says that each mask gives mobs increased health and damage, not how much.

Well, it's 25% each, so if you're wearing 2, mobs will have 50% more health and do 50% more damage.

Which suggests that a run will all masks means 125% increased health and damage for all mobs, unless it caps at some point. Don't know, haven't done this with more than 2 masks yet.

As of when I'm typing, this hasn't been highlighted so I'd like to share a couple of small but important pieces of information.
- Vessel of Horrific Visions is consumed upon entering the portal by M.O.T.H.E.R.. The potion will still show up in your bags where you're with Wrathion in the preparation/ masks area, but make no mistake, it has been consumed whether you enter the actual instance or not. Yes, it shows up when you enter the instance for the first time, but I didn't pay attention to the writing. I lost two Vessels because they were still sitting in my bags when I changed my mind and hearthed out after turning in the quests for masks.
I confirmed with other friends who are "smart" like me and have too much time on their hands. They tried various methods of leaving including Hearthstone, clicking on the gate and leaving, summoned out, using toys, and using a mage portal out. In case of forced disconnect (pulling the plug or shutting their computer off using the power button), if they re-entered the game quickly enough, they were able to stay in the preparation area, but that's about it.

- This is probably a very minor thing, but cooking fires disappear within a second or two in the preparation area inside the instance, so come in prepared. I love the 2% health food, but if you're a class that has plenty of self heals, go for stats, stats, and more stats.

Good luck and happy hunting!

Unless you have a nice friend that runs you through visions with multiple masks on so you could get them ahead of schedule, we have to start with Mask of the Long Night, which reduces sanity by 50%. If you can finish the vision with this mask on, other one mask clears will seem easier. As a warrior, I found that the Mask of Dark Imaginations, where an enemy spawns below 50% sanity is the easiest. I find it easier than Burned Bridges because I have been stunned inside my own footsteps and that in combination with other masks really hurts my sanity, HP, and feelings. This becomes even more relevant in tight area fights like Mathias Shaw and Alleria where positioning yourself becomes important, as well as in the early stages where our corruption resistance is lower.

When running 2 masks, the choice is generally Dark Imaginations and Burned Bridges because at lower corruption resists and lower ilvl gear, these would be the easiest to navigate even as melee.

When running 3 masks, I had a little more resistance and a lot more gear, so using Dark Imaginations, Burned Bridges was the easy choice, and it was just a tossup between Pained and Daredevil. Pained can really create some pain if you get the wrong debuff combo, so I went with Daredevil and paid attention to stuns/ bad stuff on the ground/ positioning. Now that blizzard has reduced the requirements to upgrade the cloak from lvl 12 to lvl 15, unless you feel absolutely comfortable moving on, focus on looting chests and Lost Crystals to maximize momento gains per run instead of going to 4 or 5 masks while worrying about time running out.

When running 4 masks, I avoid putting on Mask of the Daredevil (400% more sanity loss from enemy abilities) and Mask of the Long Night (50% less base sanity) at the same time for obvious reasons.

I tend to only put on Long Night for the 5 mask run because at higher cloak levels, default sanity loss per second from zones is low, the mobs aren't all that challenging to kill, so they don't really cause any significant amount of sanity loss. This is more important in Stormwind where the last boss, Alleria isn't melee friendly and uptime on her is much lower than on Thrall. In Orgrimmar, Rexxar is the only fight that could potentially dole out a lot of sanity damage, but if you're getting harassed by the dogs or his traps to the extent of losing all sanity, your HP loss will also be pretty dramatic. Therefore once again, Long Night is the worse choice at least as a melee class.

So "Increases Corrupted Mementos gained." does stack, Thank you!

I wish they would have put it on the tool tip like the rest of the %'s.

"Faceless Mask Details
All 5 Faceless Masks share this same effect. If multiple masks are active, their effects are added.
+25% Health of all enemies
+25% Damage of all enemies
+20% Corrupted Mementos gained"

So if you want more Corrupted Mementos ware more masks.

"+20% Corrupted Mementos gained" for each mask worn=

-1 mask +20%
-2 masks +40%
-3 masks +60%
-4 masks +80%
-5 masks +100%

This says it, but I didn't realize. You have to get 2 masks from Stormwind and 2 from Orgimmar, you can't get all 4 from one vision.

Comment by Wyo1

if i queue up with a friend , and he will activate 2 of the 5 faceless masks, and then leaves the party, will this count for me as a solo Run?
