The Fastest and Easiest Delves in Midnight Season 1

Totem Annihilation - Take the bird at the start and then work your way up the north structure for the easiest clear. Avoiding the lightning from the captured loa is paramount as it does a significant amount of damage.

Ritual Interrupted - Navigate towards the southern structure freeing furbolg as you go. Consider picking up the haunted weapons as they can deal decent damage.

Invasive Glow - The bomb at the start of the instance scales with difficulty tier to do upwards of 90% of your total damage when you keep the DoT up on enemies consistently. Makes for an especially easy Tier 11 Delve for undergeared players.

Academy Under Siege - There's a number of powerful items scattered about that can do some fairly good damage or provide absorb shield. Helpful but still not as good as Invasive Glow.

Faculty of Fear - The revelation mechanic just adds a lot of time. You won't need to reveal all the NPC's but still a fair number.

Ogre Powered - Another straightforward path to the boss with an easy objective requiring no backtracking. Unstable Aberrations do leash so be sure to kill them before moving on.

Focusers Under Pressure - Collecting the crystals requires a fairly large loop and even a slight bit of backtracking adding some significant time to this Delve.

Leyline Technician - Inspecting the leylines adds a lot of time. It's just not as quick as the kill to progress objectives of Ogre Powered.

Arena Champion - After a short killing objective, you'll need to defeat two named enemies. Once defeated, collect mold samples from Moldering Fighters that appeared in the arena both alive and already dead.

Dastardly Rootstalks - Taunt the crowd to fill up the Angry Fans bar. Simply use your extra action in the spotlights. Afterwards click dirt piles and defeat the spawned enemies just not too many at a time or risk being overwhelmed .

Lightbloom Invasion - Free the entangled fighters and defeat the Lightbloom attacks. Defend the barricades then defeat the Thornmaws using nearby barrels.

Sporasaurus Surprise - Clocking in at one of the fastest clear times, this Delve can be drastically sped up by kiting the dinosaurs and kicking their spores back at them to break their shield and deal extra damage.

Alnmoth Munchies & Descent of the Haranir - While both utilize the same relatively quick patching it's the extra objectives of these stories that adds considerable time.

Holding the Line - To start avoid the underpowered Artifact weapons and head down the staircase at the beginning for the fastest route of barricades to repair and ending near the boss. Complete the objective by killing enemies instead of healing allies for the fastest results.

Bombing Run & March of the Arcane Brigade - The extra objectives of destroying the void portals or activating the sentinels just takes so much longer and doesn't make for the most direct path to the boss.

Calamitous - Kill enemies and collect nearby orbs that can be used to destroy Void stabilizers.

Stolen Mana - Use the Galvanic Rifle to destroy mana barrels and free eight prisoners from Mana Siphoners.

Captured Wildlife - Free imprisoned wildlife from nearby cages. Once freed the animals will attack nearby enemies offering some extra damage. Once enough are freed, use the worm bait on Void Researchers to kill 4 of them and spawn the boss.

Traitor's Due - This version tasks you with defeating void foci and the subsequent elites. Use the Eyes of Antenorian to help deal a bit of additional damage.

Mirror Shine - You'll need to counteract the darkness by moving mirrors to reflect light to destroy Shadow Nexus around the Delve. The moving of the mirrors is tedious and you need to wary of positioning to avoid the damage taken debuff.

Shadowy Supplies - Relatively straightforward, collect supplies from around the area or from defeated enemies. The issue here is having to collect 30 supplies which can be fairly slow.

Core of the Problem - You can click on portals throughout the delve to travel to other parts of the delve similar to flight points. Simply kill enemies and collect orbs to complete the objective.

Not What I Expected - Click Lightbloom crates and activate the Sanctum Security system while defeating enemies to complete the objective. Enter Displacement Portals to spawn clones of yourself to help in combat.

The Gravitational Effect - While the other 2 story variants are relatively straightforward, the mechanic in this one requires you to fly around the room to collect Singularity coils. While fun, the mechanic tends to add a fair amount of time and can break up the route significantly.

Loose Loa - Use the Evasive Elixir before you're hit by the patrolling rampaging Loa to avoid being stunned and significant damage. Defeat Vilebranch Charmers and destroy Hex totems to complete the objective.

Party Crasher - Simply avoid the traps to prevent getting stunned while defeating 4 Twilight Summoners. This is the most straightforward, but still requires you to hit levers along the way.

Trapped - While trying to save hostages, you'll be trapped and teleported to the interior of the Delve. You'll need to make your way back to the entrance while rescuing hostages.

Comment by Chainsathanks for that, 8 weeks in the patch lolComment by molemanWoWme when i publish misinformation, sporasaur special is the fastest and its not even closeComment by Slawo"Ritual Interrupted" Should be S-tier.
You can just skip all trashComment by d3zmondHow about which one is more fun? Why is it always just "here are pro tactics so we can play the game even less"?Comment by ssithlMoleman's Delve Compendium googlesheet has been my go to.. for the last 8 weeks :PComment by molemanWoW"Ritual Interrupted" Should be S-tier.
You can just skip all trashComment by WeereaGrudge pit has RP slowdown, but you also don't need to go hunting around to find the extra loot triggers (nemesis packs and sanctified banner) that tends to even it out. Honestly this this is way too subjectiveComment by codeblue2024The Grudge Pit is by far the easiest and fastest hidden mislaid curios do not even exist - it is simple to clear solo or drag people through as they can sit at the door. Collegiate Calamity is ok if you want to skip objectives but its too large and spread out to be considered S tier.Comment by WaffleDinoMirror Shine isn’t low enough. God awful story, easy skip after the achievementComment by WalkerfinGrudge pit easiest no need search anything pretty see all in entrence since its round arena shape just watch out not pull all elites same time can easily solo tier 11Comment by diablowowMirror Shine isn’t low enough. God awful story, easy skip after the achievementlikeComment by SineralSunkiller stories with Esuritus at the boss should be at the bottom. If you're both undergeared and a class without sufficient stuns or ways to deal with the adds quickly, you're gonna have a hard, slow time. Just my opinion imo...like most of these Wowhead artcles.Comment by ShurqElalleinvasive glow is definitely the easiest. i spam the extra action button and that is it, its like99% of my dmg even on bossComment by LeovanniGrudge pit is fastest by far if you bring a group. Literally just pull the entire room. Plus you only need 1 person to run around doing the mechanics.
For some reason tank Valeria doesn't really die in this dungeon (if everyone in group is a DPS).
Literally just did as aff/shadow/tank Valeria and the longest part was killing the last boss.

Collegiate is often glitchy and one shotting Valeria for me plus travel time and awkwardly spaced groups makes mass pulling way harder.
Really annoying when I want all 4 banners and they are at the 4 farthest points from each other.

Totem ahnillation is also extremely fast and easy. Grab drums and masks whenever you see one. The abominations may kill tank Valeria but they also have a lot of slow cast times that make them very easy to kite or just ignore as you move on. Only thing that slows down this one is when banners spawn in the middle of the map instead of all around the temple.

Pro tip for enclave, save the one shot scroll for the last boss to deal 30% health instantly.

Also only use mandate. The one shot is extremely frequent and will save you so much time.Comment by Dezzuzuyou don't even go anywhere in the grudge pit. easily the fastest for me.Comment by SanjaruThe fastest by far is Twilight Crypts Trapped , 3 min in 11 : you run and click all levers, die, and just have one pack and boss to kill (or only boss if stealth)Comment by Chr1st0phHow about which one is more fun? Why is it always just "here are pro tactics so we can play the game even less"?Comment by DianoraMirror Shine isn’t low enough. God awful story, easy skip after the achievementComment by BigoleChrist we're using that idiotic ranking system for delves now too lmao :D

How about which one is more fun? Why is it always just "here are pro tactics so we can play the game even less"?Comment by salateurThe Gulf of Memory is a no-no for me in all worldlines.
One of the longest imo.
