Entrance to this delve is, unsurprisingly, through a very deep sinkhole at:
/way Hallowfall 50.75, 50.25 The Sinkhole Entrance

Comment by BasedMike

Things that I found to be extremely useful in this delve:

Noggenfoger Elixir
Any form of underwater breathing

The skeleton form will give you underwater breathing, also it looks hella cool.

Each Delve has 4-5 Sturdy Chests
Most of the times you can collect then in 1 run, but Delve have multiple stories
Some chests need different storylines to be seen, so if you don't see the chest, you will have to try once more in another run/story

All Sturdy Chests and locations videos:

The Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole is wonderful here, and pretty much anywhere you need underwater breathing. No elixirs, no "works for 30 seconds" crap, you don't even need to have it equipped.

Comment by Aladrias

I couldn't find the treasure room, and I ended up killing everything in the delve before realising... it was back beside Cragpie, who is the last boss, and I didn't actually need to go through the whole Sinkhole back to the entrance. Bad design IMO, as I hadn't finished my % by the time I got to last boss, and thought there must be another boss.

Comment by Jatarri

On the guys holding the tentacles and further as adds, I found pet taunt does nothing. Feign death does nothing. He will still shoot at you. I recommend your 3 heals be available as a hunter. Exhilaration, CaveDweller delight and the Algari healing potions. These are on separate timers. And burn those down. Otherwise, I died more to falling..

Comment by Wyo1

my favorite delve so far. This could be the mariana trench of WOW...The undersea, "huge kraken story" is always cool, and you go very deep here. Love the starfish blizzard put onto the map for this delve. Its classy design. Hallowfall is a wonderful zone overall. One of the most diverse zones ever.

Comment by Aisenfaire

Water breathing elixirs work here and save you the headache of worrying about stupid air bubbles.

Draenic Water Breathing Elixir is the cheapest on the AH, only 40+g. It lasts for 2 hours. You will lose it if you die since it's an elixir.

Air bubbles will still give you a 5s 100% move speed buff Air Bubble, although it incorrectly says swim speed.

Note that if you want Just Keep Swimming, it's best to first enter the water and let your breath meter appear before using the elixir.

Comment by Velariana

Something I thought I'd point out since I didn't see it mentioned here... in the "Illusory Rescue" variant of this delve, the "real" captives are the ones with the underwater breathing buff. Those that don't have it are the ambushers. (It took me a couple of times doing this delve to figure this out.)

~~why this zone is listed in the wowhead database twice is beyond me...~~

Comment by genaia

Don't forget your Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole! can be equipped in among your Fishing profession tools

Comment by Hjorthie

The entrance to this delve is at
/way 50.66 53.42
in Hallowfall

Comment by AskMoo

What I'd like to know is this... If we're underwater, how can you fall off of the cliff and die?

Comment by Ehayen

I call this delve the "gotchatorium" because it is full of traps that add nothing to the game play experience and serve no purpose other than to GOTCHA.

Those ring things you're not supposed to step on, half buried in the ground so you can't see them until you're already on them.
Or positioned over a rise so you can't see them until you're already on them.
Quest objectives placed perilously close to the edge of cliffs that somehow exist in water that for some reason you can't swim in, that you can somehow "fall off of" to your doom, as if falling through water would kill you.
Placement of the air bubbles behind the boss so that if you're ranged you're forced to walk up to the boss.
Quest objectives behind stacks of hidden bombs that you can't see until they're already exploding on you.

This delve is trash and whoever designed it should be demoted or fired.

Comment by eeemilu

If you hate this/underwater stages as much as I do, please buy and equip something like Shimmerscale Diving Helmets (Zandalari Leatherworking) or what others have mentioned above. The helmets give you 15 minutes of uninterrupted breathing. As someone who couldn't complete these delves without something like this these are great. As much as I hate the word 'triggering', my father died in a sinkhole accident so if items like these weren't available there'd be absolutely no way I'd be touching this sort of content.
