Dawn of the Infinite in Midnight: What Changed
Updated 12 October 2026 for Midnight (level cap 90). The boss walkthrough below is based on the video by SoulSoBreezy recorded in October 2024; mechanics were checked against Wowhead spell data.
Dawn of the Infinite is the eight-boss mega-dungeon added in Dragonflight patch 10.1.5. It is a level 70 dungeon, and at level 90 you far outscale it. As of August 2026, wow.gg describes soloing it as possible for most classes. The one thing that can still kill you is the mechanics of the last boss, Chrono-Lord Deios.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Why run it? | Quantum cosmetics (transmog from the past) and a chance at the Reins of the Quantum Courser mount |
| Who drops the loot? | Chrono-Lord Deios, the eighth and final boss |
| Difficulty | The Courser is Mythic only (wow.gg) |
| Lockout | One loot chance per character per week from the final boss |
| Time per run | About 10 to 15 minutes from the entrance to Deios, depending on class and gear (wow.gg) |
| Drop chances | Courser 1.26% on Wowhead (176 of 13,985 recorded kills); Quantum Shoulders 4.90% |
The dungeon has two wings: Galakrond’s Fall (Chronikar, Manifested Timeways, Blight of Galakrond, Iridikron) and Murozond’s Rise (Tyr, Morchie, Time-Lost Battlefield, Deios). Our Mythic dungeon team can run it with you if you prefer a coach to the video.
Why Run Dawn of the Infinite?
Two reasons: quantum cosmetics and the Quantum Courser.
Quantum cosmetics
Deios can drop a quantum item. When you use it, it adds a random appearance of that type (shoulders, legs, a weapon type and so on) that you do not yet have in your collection, taken from the past. The items are bound to your Warband and need level 70 to use. Wowhead lists drop chances such as 4.90% for the Quantum Shoulders. The old version of this guide said you had to use them on characters level 70 or below; that is not what the item tooltip says.
| Quantum item | Type |
|---|---|
| Quantum Shoulders, Quantum Gloves, Quantum Legs, Quantum Chestpiece, Quantum Headpiece | Armor appearances |
| Quantum Sword, Axe, Mace, Knife, Knuckles, Warglaives, Staff, Polearm, Greatsword, Greataxe, Greathammer | Melee weapon appearances |
| Quantum Bow, Crossbow, Firearm, Wand, Focus, Shield | Ranged, caster and off-hand appearances |
Reins of the Quantum Courser
The Reins of the Quantum Courser drop from Deios on Mythic at roughly 1 to 3% (Wowhead’s sample gives 1.26%; Blizzard never published the rate). It is account-wide, and when you use it it becomes a random mount you do not own, from a pool of 16 that includes Deathcharger’s Reins, Reins of the Raven Lord, Swift White Hawkstrider, Reins of the Blue Proto-Drake, Reins of the Infinite Timereaver and Midnight’s Eternal Reins. If you already own all of them, the item cannot be used, but you can trade it to a player who was in your group.
Because the loot is locked per character each week, extra level 90 alts mean extra attempts. Fast classes such as Demon Hunter and Druid shorten each run. For mounts you can buy rather than farm, see our mount vendors guide.
Other Deios drops include the polearm Borrowed Time, and Iridikron drops the staff Iridal, the Earth’s Master.
Challenges of the Dungeon
Most bosses can be overpowered. Three fights need attention. The numbers and timings below come from SoulSoBreezy’s October 2024 video, recorded at level 80 in The War Within, so they are historical: at level 90 with Midnight gear you have far more damage. Use them to understand which fights have a hard limit.
Blight of Galakrond
The mechanic that ends solo runs is Corrosion. It lasts 15 seconds, deals damage every second, and when it expires it causes Corrupted Mind, which mind-controls you. In a group it passes to another player on contact. Alone, an expired Corrosion ends the attempt.
| Phase | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (to 80% health) | The boss swallows you, which clears all debuffs | Nothing special; Corrosion is not a risk |
| 2 (80% to 50%) | Corrosion is removed when the phase starts | Save your strongest cooldowns for the push to phase 3 |
| 3 (below 50%) | The boss splits into two that share one health pool | Burn it down before Corrosion expires |
In the video the window to reach phase 3 was 24 seconds and the finish took 30 seconds, which needed about 660 thousand and 880 thousand damage per second at that gear level. Treat those as a historical measurement of how hard this check was, not as a requirement for Midnight.
Iridikron
The difficulty is keeping both yourself and Chromie alive. Stonecracker Barrage sends three projectiles at Chromie and the damage has to be shared; she can take two hits by default, so heal her between the first and third or use a damage-reduction cooldown. The other mechanic is Cataclysmic Obliteration: a 30-second cast that damages everyone every 1.5 seconds and ends in unavoidable damage. Iridikron loses energy when he takes damage, and if his energy reaches zero the ability fails, so put all your damage on him during the cast.
Chrono-Lord Deios
Deios summons infinity spheres that fall slowly. Standing under a sphere slows its fall, and when one explodes it puts a brief debuff on you that increases damage from the next explosion, so stand under one sphere and let another explode, then move on once the debuff ends. In the video the player survived two explosions at once, so the margin was larger than it looked. wow.gg flags Deios as the only real risk of a solo clear at level 90.
Conclusion and FAQ
Can any class solo Dawn of the Infinite?
Most can at level 90. wow.gg (August 2026) says soloing has become possible for most classes. The two checks are Corrosion on Blight of Galakrond and the Chrono-Lord Deios mechanics, so keep a burst cooldown for phase 2 and a defensive for Iridikron’s barrage.
What does Deios drop?
Quantum cosmetics, the Quantum Courser mount, the polearm Borrowed Time, and other gear. The mount is Mythic only.
How often can I farm it?
Once per week per character from the final boss. A run takes about 10 to 15 minutes, so alts are the way to add attempts.
What is the Quantum Courser drop rate?
Blizzard has not published it. Wowhead’s drop data gives 1.26%; wow.gg says roughly 1 to 3%.
Do I need to dispel Corrosion?
You cannot rely on it. Corrosion lasts 15 seconds and ends in mind control. In phase 1 the swallow clears it, and in phase 2 the boss removes it, so the real task is to finish the phase 3 push in time.
Can I use quantum items on any character?
They need level 70 and are bound to your Warband, so any character of level 70 or above can use them.
