Tazavesh Hard Mode Megadungeon Guide - How to Do Hard Mode Deathless
The Tazavesh, the Veiled Market megadungeon returns in The War Within Patch 11.2 with a major twist – it is now permanently set to Hard Mode difficulty when not running Mythic+. This new baseline challenge is tuned to the equivalent of Mythic+10, and all eight bosses come with exclusive Hard Mode mechanics not found in the standard Mythic+ versions.
This guide will cover:
How Hard Mode works in Tazavesh 11.2
The One-Shot Deathless Challenge and its rewards
Boss loot, vault progression, and achievements
How to get your guaranteed Mythic track gear
How to Access Hard Mode Tazavesh in Patch 11.2
In Patch 11.2, no attunement is required to start Hard Mode. If you queue or enter Tazavesh outside of Mythic+, it will automatically be Hard Mode by default.
Includes both wings: Streets of Wonder + So’leah’s Gambit
Total bosses: 8 encounters
Start by speaking to Al’dalil at the entrance – you’ll have 2 minutes to prepare before the Hard Mode mechanics activate.
The One-Shot Deathless Challenge
Hard Mode Tazavesh offers a unique twist – the Deathless and One-Shot Deathless challenges:
Deathless Tazavesh
Complete the entire dungeon without a single player death.
If a party member dies, the Street Smart buff is removed from everyone and the attempt fails for that week.
Deaths inside Mythic+ do not count, but pre-start deaths before the key begins do count.
One-Shot Deathless
Achieve Deathless on your very first Hard Mode attempt of the week.
Every player must enter with Street Smart active and keep it until the last boss is defeated.
Reward: Guaranteed Mythic 1/6 track gear from the Tazavesh loot table, randomly chosen from any boss drop.
Achievement: Flawless Transaction for completing Deathless Hard Mode.
Cheese Prevention – What Won’t Work
Blizzard implemented anti-exploit measures for this challenge:
If one player lacks Street Smart, the buff is removed for all players at the next boss kill.
Swapping in fresh characters with the buff before the final boss does not work.
