The message on the plaque is actually an anagram! The ellipses after each of the words originally had players thinking that the message was just missing words, and needed to be filled in. As the solving continued, secret-finders learned that the message meant drastically different things depending on the language people had their client in. It was eventually noted that "is the key" could be formed out of some of the letters in the message. Players who played in other languages were able to make similar phrases using their version of the plaque message.

Eventually, it was found that the NPC Phil Moualblé had been stealthily added into the game with the launch of Patch 7.0.3, replacing another NPC as to not tip players off too easily. This goblin is found in Tarides du Nord, near the Flight Master in Ratchet.

/way Northern Barrens 69.0, 70.7 Racksum Greep

With the partial anagram of "is the key," the remaining letters in the message are "uprmacgsrkee." These letters can be rearranged to spell Racksum Greep! So, our full decoded anagram is "Racksum Greep is the key." Racksum is wearing an interesting set of clothing, and what we are after is his mask. This mask appears to be Shadoweave Mask, a crafted cloth head-piece. The pattern itself, Patron : Masque en tisse-ombre has a very low chance to drop from Forge-vapeur sombrefer in Gorge des Vents brûlants. If you have a Tailor and are willing to farm the mats and pattern, you can choose to do so. Otherwise, check your auction house, or see if anyone in Trade chat is willing to make one for you for a fee.

+1111111111The series of ones and zeroes are grouped together only in certain numbers: groups of 5, groups of 8, and groups of 24. The groups of 5 and 8 numbers only ever appear in pairs. Simply add together the number of ones for each group of 8 number, then add up the number of ones for its paired group of 5. Then, multiply the two numbers.

For example, the first two sets of numbers are "01110111" and "00100." Adding the ones in the 8-bit set yields "6," as there are six ones. Doing the same to the 5-bit set yields "1," as there is only a single one. Multiplying the two values, 6 and 1, gives us the number 6.

You can repeat this process for the next 3 pairs of 8-bit and 5-bit numbers, and you will obtain the numbers "12," "14," and "7." At this point, we have reached a string of 24 numbers, or a 24-bit value. To extract the number needed from this value, all we need to do is add up the ones. In the case of the first 24-bit number we encounter, when we add up the ones, we get the number "13."

Follow these steps for the rest of the 5, 8, and 24-bit numbers, and we receive the following numbers: 6 12 14 7 13 18 12 3 13 20 25 3 8 18 7 25 2 13

Each number corresponds to a letter, where 1 is A, 2 is B, 3 is C, and so on. When we convert our numbers to letters, we get: F L N G M R L C M T Y C H R G Y B M

Splitting up this string of letters gives us FLNGMRLC, MTYCHRG, and YBM. These happen to correspond to Battle Pet abilities belonging to the BlizzCon Murloc pet rewards from 2013, 2014, and 2015. Kaamurlott has Chute de Murloc, Grommie has Charge puissante, and Bourbidan has Rayon accablant. At level 25, these abilities deal 684, 560, and 1110 (370 x 3 rounds) damage each, respectively. Concatenating these values gives us the string 6845601110.

The next part of our instructions is "180," a hint that the value we have needs to be flipped around. Doing so gives us the number 0111065486. The last step, "+1111111111," simply tells us to increment each digit by 1. Doing this leaves us with the number 1222176597, or final solution!

Your maze is generated randomly upon zoning into the Endless Halls, and it will be unique to you and only you. There is no way to look up a step-by-step solution online, or get direct help from other players. The maze will also reset daily, meaning that if you choose to call it quits for the night and try again in the morning, you will end up with an entirely new map, and any and all progress you have made will be reset.

All orbs and runes will be in separate rooms. The orbs will never disappear, whether you click and acquire their aura or not. The runes, on the other hand, will disappear if you click on them while you have the correct color-orb buff on your character when doing so.

The following image was put together by Celestalon himself to explain the mechanics of the maze.

As you can see, there are several things that make the puzzle harder than it may seem at first glance. First and foremost, there is the teleportation trap room! There will be exactly one room that will teleport you randomly elsewhere in the maze upon entering it. If you do not keep track of where this room is, you can end up getting lost and confused very quickly.

The simplest way to check if you have been teleported at any point is to double back on every room you enter. While this takes additional time, it will likely end up saving you time in the end, if you know what room to avoid. If the room you double back into is different from the room you just came from, you will know you have been teleported. Likewise, if you enter a room, and the passageway from where you entered is blocked with rubble, you were teleported. Once you make note of where this room is, take every measure possible to avoid it.

The next wrench in the maze are the looping edges. Not only do the outer edges of the room loop back to one another, they do so with an additional offset. This means you can quickly re-encounter rooms you just passed through, though it does not mean you've been randomly teleported. You can always backtrack to make it back to the original room you were in, as these loops still abide by the existing connections of the rooms.

Last but not least are the "cross" rooms. While you will never find a room with 4 open passageways, 2 rooms "stacked" on top of each other may give the impression of this being the case when you map. The two rooms occupy the same spot in the grid, but their passageways run perpendicular to each other, and they do not actually intersect at any point. As long as you know of the existence of these rooms, they should not pose a problem to you when mapping.

As for mapping itself, you have several options. Of course, you can choose to forgo mapping altogether, and run in blind. While this may enable you to finish the maze in as few as 20 minutes, it also has the potentially of subjecting you to several hours of running around. Essentially, your completion of the maze using such a method is entirely dependent on luck.

The addon Lucid Nightmare Helper and the site http://endlessmap.info/ may help you map your maze. Unfortunately, these addons do not account for the teleportation room, so your map may be slightly inaccurate.

You can also map your maze by hand, either digitally or on a sheet of paper. Be sure to mark all runes and orbs, as well as the connections between the rooms.

If you choose to map either with the addon, site, or by hand, it is best to not pick up and match any runes or orbs until you have found them all. That way, you can use all of the runes as landmarks when running through your maze.

Fantastic guide, thank you, once I realised I needed to connect the rooms in the maze, I was all set, took an hour to complete the maze. I wouldn't have been able to do it without your guide.

Commentaire de syrlinus

Just did this. The addon helped hugely (still got lost but was able to complete the maze portion in about an hour and a half). One thing I will note is that the Quick instructions has the code wrong. The code should be 1-2-2-2-1-7-6-5-9-7 and not 1-2-2-2-7-6-5-9-7. There are 10 levels and you need to set them all.

Commentaire de Enzo89

What a fantastic guide, quest and journey! Everyone should do this quest the sheer madness of it and the Endless Halls is great even though i was totally lost for 6 hours. The mount is also very nice in my opinion. I wish more things were in this game like this. And the hall of the upside-down sinners ( i had no idea it was there) was even more shocking! 11/10 would recommend to a friend. Do this quest and give in to the madness!

This has to be one of the cooler things I've seen in this game. Amazing

Commentaire de Munnzie

Nightmare is the right word for this, the maze is horrible.

I found the best way was using the add on and marking the orbs and runes when I found them. Pickup the orbs as soon as you see them and hopefully you either already have or soon find the rune it goes with. Also go like 5/6 rooms from the first rune then turn back and follow a different path for 5/6 rooms. This way you have less chance of hitting the edge of the maze and overlapping paths early on.

As soon as the map starts to overlap too much, get to a rune, clear the map, remark the rune and start again. Obviously you will need to keep note of the runes you have cleared already.

All in took me about 3 hours with maybe an hour in the maze before I switched to the tactic above. 15 minutes later I was on my way to Karazhan to pick up my new mount.

Commentaire de iAmMzungu

Does the maze have a set size? Like, is it always an 8x8 grid of rooms that wrap around on the edges and the paths between the rooms are what change?

Commentaire de Gauban

First of all, thank you very much for this guide! :)

I watched some videos and read various comments on how to best get through this maze. This is what I think works very well:

1. Use the Lucid Nightmare helper addon. You are able to automatically map the rooms and mark orbs/runes/blocked paths.

2. Always look behind! Check the path you came from to make sure the path is still there and not some rocks. There is at least 1 teleporter room which will move you to a random spot on the map.

3. The map also has a finite size, although with different layouts. At the edges you will be teleported somewhere else but not necessarily on the same path if you would look at the map as a whole - it could be from left bottom to upper right.

4. Mark all the rocks/blocked paths, orbs and runes. Do NOT pick any of the orbs up yet. There are the only good and reliable waypoints you have. This is in my opinion one of the most important tips. I did my first run without and got lost. There was no chance to find my actual location easily as I already used 3/5 orbs, so only 4 instead of 10 „waypoints“ where left.

5. Move in small areas to test the limits of the paths. If you go up, up, right, down and the first room had rocks on the right side but the last room has a path on the right side of your perspective when you enter, stop now. Do not go in yet. First check some other paths on your way back that you left open the same way. This will create a "safe" but large map. This will enable you an overview and checking points if you get lost.

6. Use the addon's „jump over“ function which will pop up once you move over an existing room and keep doing the same thing until you re-discover a similar layout (i.e. long row of same paths blocked) and try to find any waypoint on your already discovered map. If you found it, hit CTRL and left click the room you know you are in, like a rune or orb you found before. Click left again to confirm and you cursor will move to the selected room. From there on I went on as before and moved into new areas or stayed in the second blue orb room for example and kept exploring different areas to not clutter the map with underpasses. The "Enable/Disable" function for the mapping did not work for me as it always created new rooms even on disabled. This would be even easier if you could turn mapping off once you are lost and walk around until you find something that looks similar - would be a lot less cluttered map as well if you want.

After you found everything needed, pick your route and do it.

As long as you always do "jump over" and not mess up somewhere it is a straightforward method.

Took me 2h12min to find all of them with almost all of them multiple times except the blue rune room. Probably 40-50 % of the time I was searching the blue rune room. Finished in 2h25min. Hope this helps someone.

Have fun and be patient! :)

If you want to follow the path and the next number is nowhere near, it is because I jumped to the original room. No. 78 for example is the red orb room, so I jumped back to No. 57 and went north. I tried to have the original rooms together on the map and explore further out even if the rooms are the same.

Commentaire de Sunreaver

Wow. Just wow. HUGE kudos to the players that figured all this out. Does it all have to be done in a single playthrough, or can you spread it out over days/weeks?

f this stupid maze lol. the addon helps a bit but i don't understand how some commenters say they did it in 15mins or even an hour with the addon. how is anyone supposed to accomplish this with out an addon? its been hours for me and i still get lost and havent even found everything and if i do find an orb and have already found a rune i cant get back. i've found the green rune several times in one run and one of the rooms had different exists. wtf? i jump rooms cause even though the addon tells me i'm in a room ive already been to the exists are different. so why should link them?

Amazing guide, couldn't have done it without your help!

The whole trip took me about 4 hours, with the maze taking me almost 2 hours to complete.
MS Paint was the tool I used for it. Just be patient with the maze and pay a lot of attention to every room you travel to.

Good luck!

Commentaire de Noctula

You remember those dreams where you are somewhere familiair but suddenly it isn't? You walk around a corner and expect to be at a certain place but you aren't? Well, you are going to relive that nightmare for this lucid mount.

If you realize that the maze is not a grid but more like a 3-dimensional map like a cube, sphere or even more complex form, you get a better understanding of it. The add-on only helps you with a 'mapping' of which directions you took. But don't expect to be in the same room after 3 right turns. Mark the rooms with the seals, take screenshots of the 'map' as soon as you have to jump over, because if you don't the map gets really unreadable. Chances that you can backtrack are slim because any room can be the one that teleports you somewhere randomly else in the maze and all the rooms look the same.

Use the add-on and thouroghly map which exits are closed of. That way you can recognize patterns. There are for instance not many rooms with only the south exit blocked off, followed by a room etc. See these 'patterns', combinations of three rooms, and you have a pretty unique combination, from where you can backtrack to the rooms with the seals once you have localized the orbs. By the way, take notes which seals you have done because they will pop-up again (which is handy for oriëntation). The orbs don't come back though.

Expect to have visited more than 100 rooms before you have stumbled over all the 5 seals and corresponding orbs. It takes an evening. And every maze is unique. People bluffing they did this in 15 minutes: "show me the mount" and learn to read the clock. Because you have to be incredibly lucky if you did it a short time. It's like hitting 5 times a wormhole in the right direction.

Good luck, I found this way more easy then getting Baa'l. But still annoying enought to have the satisfiying feeling I really earned that mount.

Commentaire de ForestNymph

Aptly named "Lucid Nightmare"...but I will have my mount tomorrow. It would have been impossible for me to do without the guide! Even so, I was stuck in Endless Halls for ** 5 ** days (about 2-3 hours/day) before finally finding all 5 orbs/runes. As the guide says, the maze changes each time you enter it. However, after a while, I began to recognize patterns. The thing I kept having problems with was the wretched teleport room and then figuring out where it dropped me. I used both the add-on and the endless halls mapping tool as well as keeping notes on paper (mostly to remind me which patterns overlapped...tonight, when I finally solved it, I found the purple rune about 8 times in totally different patterns so it was the focal point of my map...keeping notes on paper helped me easily remember which box numbers from the addon were the same rune or orb to use for reference points to getting back to where I needed to be and the purple orb/rune were the last ones I matched since the runes disappear when you match the correct orb to them).

If I had to give the most helpful hint about the Endless Halls maze, it's the hint that lets you know that the runes disappear after you put the correct orb on them while the orbs remain. Since the purple rune was the rune I ran across the most frequently, I knew not to match it until last or it would disappear and my main focal point would be gone. There's also a feature on the add-on that lets you outline the box you're in. When I figured THAT out, I outlined the boxes that the runes were in that I had successfully matched. That helped me make sense of the somewhat confounding map created after detours from the teleportation trap.

(Just in case you're wondering why I won't have my mount until tomorrow, I found the first 4 orbs and runes in about 2 hours tonight...but it took me another two hours to find the fifth orb and another hour to find the fifth rune. It's after midnight and it looks like the crypt might be a little challenging since there are hints about how to negotiate the crypt and what to do if you have trouble finding an entrance.)

Commentaire de Gamygyn

Great guide and a lot of great comments. not completing any orbs/altars until you have found them all is absolutely the BEST tip.
i would say the second best tip that is seldom mentioned (or offhandedly mentioned) is that the dungeon has multiple floors. it's why when you approach a certain room from a different side it seemingly has a different layout. the truth is that it doesnt, you're on a different floor. so when you map it, when you enter a room that should have a certain layout and it doesn't, you have probably moved up/down a floor. this is simple to map and will save you a TON of time and frustration.

the best explanation of this i found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJSxr8FRQcA

pay particular attention to how he maps with reference letters every time it "folds" into itself. this method works 100%. after i saw this video i mapped it easily and solved the labyrinth

Commentaire de Phoenix7700

Anyone doing the final puzzle in the endless halls, I spent about 2 hours looking for green and yellow orbs that weren't there because I had already turned them in and tried to reset the puzzle to get a new map because I wanted to have more points of reference for mapping it out. Turns out when I hearthstoned out and logged off it didn't fully reset the puzzle. The yellow and green runes re-spawned but not the orbs. I also didn't get a new map as I eventually noticed some similarities to the first map. After turning in the remaining orbs I was able to complete the halls, but anyone that is in the same situation might save some time unlike me by not looking for the same orbs you already turned in.

I feel embarrassed adding this comment however it would have saved me some time if the 'answer' was here after i had a brain malfunction and could'nt work out how to actually use the levers in Gnomeregan.
If you too couldn't work out how to engage the levers, right click on them to receive the option to raise and lower their values. doh!

Endless Halls: My experience

After many hours I learned to map this in pieces, the mistake being trying to map it onto a flat surface and expecting things to connect in the normal sense-usege of a 2-d plane.

I reasoned that if I was at a known point, (X in this case) and I could apply a formula (ie, E+E+N+W+etc) and arrive at another known point (Y) and always arrive at that point using that formula in that way, and reversing the sequence of moves brought me back to point X, then that map segment would have been verified as valid between those two points.

When I found out where an orb or rune was at in relation to another orb or rune, I made that as a single (complete) unit of "map"

My final "map" was 'all over the place' because instead of a single map, it was spread out into several units/pieces of map which were actually visual how-to instructions for moving between two known points, similar to how ones moves between busses to go somewhere in a city.

I spent much time running back and forth verifying the points at which various map pieces connected. I know I accidentally hit the teleporter twice because of the mental double-take that happened when things did not line up and in one case I came in from one direction and turned around and that direction was blocked. If you are paying attention and testing and verifying your moves each step of the way you will catch the subtle clues that you may have been teleported. There is no obvious sign that you may have been teleported other than your own good note-keeping along the way. I learned to make my pathway-formulas to steer away from the area on the map where I thought the teleporter might be located and many hours were sacrificed in debunking mapping-errors due to being teleported and finding out later.

Near the end, and before I clicked on anything, I spent even more time actually running the route I would soon take to solve the first orb/rune pair which were located furthest away from each other. Then using that room with the rune as a reference point (even though in the final solve, I would click the rune and the rune would disappear after I clicked on it), I actually ran the route I would take to gather the second orb/rune pair (being a pair I had chosen which seemed easiest to approach and second-most distant from each other) and complete it.
The idea was to continue this so that the fourth and final run between orb/rune would be the shortest run. I continued practicing this by dry-running my route for a while, not clicking on anything until I was confident I could navigate the entire entire solve like a well scripted football play, completely and without error, knowing that the orbs and runes would disappear after I had actually clicked on them.

When the actual solve began, I located my character at the purple orb and upon clicking on it, seeing it disappear from the room, and noticing purple glow on my druid, ran through various map-pieces to the associated purple rune elsewhere in the maze.

...

Even though the map was in many different pieces on different 2D surfaces, they all connected in game-space in such a way that I always knew where I was at and where I was going according to the route I had practiced.

I would advise starting this early in the day as it can take many hours to solve and many people do not have compound hours of interrupted game play available to them; from what I read online about the structure of that map, supposedly the instance resets every 24 hours and each reset generates a new random map, though I have not experienced this myself as I finished it the same day I started.

In my solve, the yellow orb/rune pair were spaced closest together so I solved them as the last pair (only 4 rooms apart).

After the solve in which the final rune disappeared, I left that room.
Apparently no matter which direction you go from the last-pair-solve-room you end up in a brightly colored room with your final clue.

Commentaire de lairdbochal

This is a fantastic guide - thank you so much! All in all, took about 7 hours, 3 of which were spent in the penultimate step of the Endless Halls maze.

Tips:

I used the Lucid Nightmare Helper app, and then fathomed there is a pattern...
Using the app (type "/lucid" for it to appear) make sure you mark up the rooms.
Don't worry about doubling back to make sure you know where the teleport room is.
Don't pick up any orbs until you find both an orb room and a circle room of same colour, then go and grab that orb and place it on the circle. Don't leave it all until the end because if you do enter a portal room without realising, you won't be able to find your way back.
It's up to you whether you clear the map or not. Also, contrary to other posts, it doesn't all reset...
When you're going around the maze, keep your directions consistent. I.e. either always go straight if you can, or left... Keep doing this and keep your progress tight around the rooms you've already been in. If after some time, you keep appearing to come back to the same room (maybe the same orb room), keep logging it, but then change up your direction - and keep that consistent, and tight against the rooms you've mapped out again...
If you then enter a room which can't be linked, just choose the "jump" button on the addon so it keeps track of where you are going. When you find another orb room and circle room of the same colour, go get the orb and match them.

This tactic dramatically sped up the progress once I realised it! Have fun, and stay patient :)

I really have to say the "Endless Halls" portion of this is the worst one. I spent around 3 hours there, carefully mapping with MS Paint. Once I had identified the teleport trap, it became much easier. I never got the map into an 8 by 8 grid, but that is thankfully not the objective there.

Amazing guide and the players that find these out are just crazy :D!

Also great tips in here... I took about 2h to finish the maze just 8 minutes before server shutdown for maintenance (totally forgot it).

1. I didn't use any addon because some comments said it's not totally reliable. Used a spreadsheet to map the maze, with O for open, B for bloqued and R for rune and 0 for the orbe. Marked the rune and orb with the corresponding colour. Example (it looks better on the spreadsheet):

*O**B***B
B*OO*OORB
*O**O***B

2. Great advise is to check the rooms, either go back or walk in circles and if you don't get the same layout after, map it to another point on the spreadsheet. After a while you'll be able to see where you jumped and join the parts.

3. You can grab one orb, but don't match it with the rune until you find all orbs and runes because it's your best reference for the map.

4. I wasn't sure on how the orbs looked like so I passed by the first one (the blue one) and didn't see it until the next one and walked a lot without any reference. The orb is like a flame on top of the stand lamps beside the square stone on the middle of the room.

5. Don't panic. It's treaky but the map after a while will help you and keep in mind that there's a portal room but it will just port you to another point on the map that sooner or later you'll identify.

6. After the last rune / orb is matched you need to get out of the room to get to the note, it's on the guide but you might miss it after 2h of maze run :D

Edit: for some reason point 1 example wasn't showing well, and had to represent spaces (or empty cells) with an asterisk.

Have fun

Anyone else had an issue with the "bejeweled" part of it not showing up after you click the mind Larva? It just showed 4 "?" Popp up and then disappears. I also killed all the bosses except C'thun as the guide said but the game is showing that I didn't kill the twins when I did. Help?

Took me a whole 3 hours to get the last runes in that maze, it was finally in a triple stacked room that I found it, beware of bad luck it can make your maze horrible.

About the maze, don't know if most of you have noticed but there's always a pattern and will repeat at infinite. At some point trying to run as much as one can in a direction you'll encounter same rune or orbs color again. It's exactly same thing that you found first time, work a bit around and you'll discover the missing runes/orbs. As someone said don't take any orb and click it's rune until you discover all of them, you'll going to use them as a reference point. try to use as much as you can any direction that will prevent overlapping rooms, using helper addon will make it a bit hard to see if you went that way or the way under. Always keep a paper and a pen at hand, taking notes where you think you need it it may help you later.
Don't be like me and play a bit with addon's interface since it's a very good tool. Keep markers(top left) for where runes will be and pick one rune as reference point when you'll encounter another portion with same pattern of placed runes. The mid left thingy that looks like an 8bit wheel :) will help you mark the closed exits, where the rocks are. Pretty much ;ole Hansel and Gretel leaving breadcrumbs behind. as for the 5 squares in lower left(for some reason on my interface 3 green and 2 black, they're just like markers above but use them to mark the borders of a room where you find the orbs, pay attention that the border is barely visible and since the colors are not displayed on the interface for those markers just try one by one till you find the corresponding color. Have phun!

PS: Do anyone missing "The Cube" movie, or the follow ups? Cause I think it's the best reference for this maze. :D

There is a modified version of the addon available, called LucidNightmareNavigator https://github.com/Debuggernaut/LucidNightmareNavigator/releases

I failed horribly with all kinds of manual maps no matter if pen and paper, Excel or the LucidNavigatorHelper addon but with this addon I finally succeeded!

Similar to the Helper addon you have to mark the walls in every room and mark the runes once you have found them but in addition it also allows you to mark the runes. The great thing about this addon is that you do not have to worry about the map, as the addon builds and utilizes the map itself in memory and once you have marked an already existing object it automatically adjusts its map and points you to the nearest unexplored hallway. Once you have found all objects you can select any orb or rune and it will navigate you right to it. Basically, all you have to do is mark carefully and follow the instructions in chat.

The only issue is the teleporter. It does not recognise it properly and will give you directions using the teleporter room, which will obviously fail. If you know the location of the teleporter you can go around it because at one point it will calculate another way to your loaction but if you want to be on the safe side, you should go exactly the way the addon suggests right from the beginning by setting walls and always hitting the Unexplored Territory direction button afterwards (not really necessary but you want to be on the safe side!) and once you have found the teleporter room (Always look back after entering a room. If the way is blocked, you have been teleported), note down the number and direction from the previous room and completely restart the maze by zoning out. Now use exactly the same way again and once you are in the room you have noted down, just put a wall in the direction of the teleporter. Now you don't have to worry about anything anymore and just mark and follow the directions.

Successfully completed this today! No issues other than it being quite time consuming - especially the Endless Halls. Would definitely recommend a thorough read-through of all comments above for this bit, they helped me out a lot.

A tip for the maze: I tried using the helper and navigator addons initially, but they don't account for certain things - you might find yourself confused and frustrated if you rely on them alone. I would recommend that you draft your own map as you go along. MS Excel worked just fine for me.

Oh, and something else: While it might seem pointless, it is a must to check there is no stone wall behind you each time you enter a room to make sure you haven't been teleported somewhere else in the maze. This will wreck your addon (if you're using one) and will certainly screw your self-drawn map up if you've opted to do it that way.

G'luck, all!

Fantastic guide, thank you so much, I thought the entire experience was amazing and I would never have gotten it done without all the great help on here ^^

As a note, doing the maze really made me think of the horror movie Cube (from I think 1997) - it was so similar that it almost made me wonder if it was an inspiration for this maze ^^ To anyone who hadn't seen it, I would highly recommend watching it as it's actually quite a good suspenseful and surreal film. If you've done the maze I think you'd be able to relate to it, haha! :D

Another note about the maze: some people said they finished it very quickly with the add-on, while others said that it still took them a very long time even with the add-on. In my experience, this also partly depends on the map you get, which happens by pure chance. On my first day doing this I got a more challenging map and I was at it for several hours without finishing. Came back the following day and completely by chance I got a much easier map, and I finished much more quickly.

A really important note about the Lucid Nightmare add-on for the maze: I was not aware that apparently in the add-on it's possible to change the position of your cursor within the map (thank you to Gauban for your comment about this: "hit CTRL and left click the room you know you are in, like a rune or orb you found before. Click left again to confirm and you cursor will move to the selected room." I could really have used this function while doing the maze for when I was teleported, because I had recognized where in my map I now appeared, but I thought I had no way of changing my cursor to there without having the add-on number the rooms wrong after teleporting me.

The last part of the quest was fun for me because back in TBC a friend and I had managed to explore the this area beneath Kara, as back then there was a way to get in by being feared inside in a duel (Bliz had later made this impossible). That adventure had been fun for me back in TBC, and it had been many years since I had been down there so it was very cool to visit again.

All in all THANK YOU so much for the fantastic guide and for all the very helpful comments on here, I enjoyed it tremendously even with the maze, haha!
