Skittering Breach is a Delve located on the East side of Hallowfall, Khaz Algar.

This guide will providing the all the specifics you need to complete Skittering Breach across all tiers of difficulties (from Tier 1 to Tier 11). We will cover delve events, optional bosses (rares), as well as, end of the dungeon boss and their abilities. If you like to learn about the rest of the Delves in Season 1, please see our overviews linked below.

There are 2 versions of this Delve, each of them offer different end boss and have different events:

• Option 1: You need to destroy 0/5 Shadow Totems and clear the surrounding Shadow patches with Light Dash (extra action button) dash, facing Nerl'athekk the Skulking boss at the end.
• Option 2: You will have to confront Speaker Xanventh, chase her and complete the Order of the Night repelled event before engaging her as a final boss (much longer path than the Option 1).

Clear the any non-boss-enemies around the Shadow Totems and use the Light Dash (extra action button) dash to clear the nearby Shadow patches.

• Interrupt Shadow Elemental's Death Bolt. Any spare kicks (or stops) should go for Inflict Death cast.
• Beware of Nerubian Slasher's Jagged Slash frontal (sidestep it).
• Interrupt Nerubian Threadmancer's Web Bolt.
• Any spare kicks should go for Webbed Aegis coming from Nerubian Captain. In addition, you should be careful when they cast Wide Swipe frontal cone.
• Sidestep the Skittering Swarmer's Skittering Charge. Be careful at the quantity of mobs you pull with this mob, due to their Poisoned Claws, they hit quite hard.
• Once you get to the final totem, you will see Nerubian Darkcaster, although it is optional non-boss-enemy, in case you engage it, interrupt Shadow Bolt at all times. Any spare kicks should be used for Shadows of Strife.

• Use the Light Dash (extra action button) dashes to clear the surrounding Shadow patches.
• Outrange the Darkrift Smash.
• Interrupt Shadow Drain channel.
• During Lurking Call channel, avoid any ground swirlies.

Clear your way inside the secret chamber and confront Speaker Xanventh. Once you drop her to 70% HP she will retreat, starting Event #2.

• Nightfall Initiate does only auto-attacks.
• Nightfall Executor will Stab you (heavy physical damage ability).

Chase Speaker Xanventh and engage against him. He will retreat at 40% HP starting the final Event 3 prior appearing as a final boss.

• Interrupt Weeping Shade's Death Bolt.
• Any spare interrupts should go for Nightfall Shadeguard's Blessing of Dusk.
• Interrupt (or any other form of stops) Nightfall Hopestealer's Shadow Bolt.

Repel enough non-boss-enemies to complete the final event of the Delve.

• Devouring Shade is the only "mini-boss" in this area, with an incredibly strong tank-buster hit Shadow Strike. Avoid its Umbral Slam frontal at all costs.
• Nightfall Inquisitor is the most important non-boss-enemy in this area due to its Shadow Barrier immunity, which must be stopped at all costs. In addition, any spare kicks should go for Shadow Bolt.

• Interrupt Blessing of Dusk at all times.
• Sidestep the Shadow Wave frontal ability.
• Outrange the Shadowspin channel (5 yards).
