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.
