Tazavesh, the Veiled Market, Healer Guide

Updated 1 year ago for patch 9.2.7 by Preston. View the change log.

This page covers healer-focused strategies for the Tazavesh, the Veiled Market dungeon in Shadowlands. While it's tailored for healers, other roles may also find the information useful. If you have any suggestions or feedback, you can leave a comment below or tweet @PrestonDvorak.

This guide has been updated and maintained based on my own experiences as well as Dungeon Journal and combat log information. I'll continue to update it as-needed.



Tazavesh Hard Mode

In addition to the regular mythic dungeon, Tazavesh also has a special hard mode that can be activated.

Unlocking Hard Mode

To gain access to the option, you'll first need to complete the following steps during a regular run of the dungeon.

  1. After Zo'phex, find the Questionable Trader down a nearby set of stairs.
  2. Purchase Fraudulent Credentials.
  3. Before engaging Au'myza's Oasis, talk to Au'manal to exchange your Fraudulent Credentials for Passably-Forged Credentials.

Activating Hard Mode

Upon entering a fresh Tazavesh instance you can disguise yourself as a broker using Passably-Forged Credentials and talk to Fe'tajid to activate hard mode. Note that you have to do this before activating the initial trash mobs at the front gate or Fe'tajid will disappear.



 Bosses

Below are guides for the bosses in Tazavesh, including their abilities, healer notes, and addon settings.

Zo'phex Dungeon Journal Model Zo'phex

Hard Mode Differences

  • Players end up sneaking by all the nearby trash, which becomes hostile once the encounter starts, making maneuvering much more difficult.
  • Portalmancer Zo'honn is present during the encounter.

    • During Grip of Hunger, run against the pull to stay more than 20-yards away from Alcruxx to avoid the heavy damage.
    • Stay more than 12-yards away from the Grand Consumption orbs to avoid the detonation that deals moderate damage and heals Alcruux.
    • When affected by Gluttony, run over Volatile Anima orbs from Achillite, detailed below.
  • Achillite
    • When affected by Purification Protocol (dispel, magic), stay more than 25-yards away from other players until the effect expires or is dispelled.
    • During Flagellation Protocol, Achillite gains a damage absorption shield and begins dealing heavy damage to the tank. The damage absorption shield must be depleted or purged to interrupt the effect.
    • During Venting Protocol, stay more than 8-yards away from Achillite to avoid the light damage over time and knock back effect.
      • The player affected by Gluttony must run over Volatile Anima orbs to remove them from the area and gain stacks of Devoured Anima, increasing damage dealt.
      • If a player not affected by Gluttony runs over an orb, they take moderate damage and gain stacks of Volatile Anima, reducing damage dealt.
  • Venza Goldfuse

Hard Mode Differences

  • Bosses now activate on a timer. Achillite joins the encounter after ~30-seconds and Venza Goldfuse joins after ~60-seconds.
