The legendary cloak in WoW has a hidden effect that you absolutely need. Otherwise, you’ll look quite old in the new raid Ny’alotha…
In World of Warcraft, the Patch 8.3 Visions of N’zoth has been live for nearly 2 weeks, and most players have likely already fought through the quest lines. Those who haven’t done so should do it quickly – otherwise, raid leaders might leave you at home and not take you to the new raid Ny’alotha. Because without the legendary cloak, you’re just dead weight.
What is the legendary cloak? The legendary cloak Ashjra’kamas will be granted to you during the quite long introductory quest line from Furorion. It starts not only at a powerful item level of 470 but also brings some really cool bonuses. Because:
- It reduces the corruption that your character suffers. You can wear more corrupted items simultaneously.
- It reduces the loss of sanity in the visions of N’Zoth. This way, you can delve deeper into the visions and obtain more loot.

You upgrade the cloak by visiting the visions, continuously enhancing it so that the passive bonuses become even stronger, and in the end, an active ability awaits you that temporarily makes you immune to N’zoth’s corruption. However, the cloak also has another effect that isn’t immediately obvious.
Cloak is needed in the fight against N’zoth: It is not immediately apparent that the cloak is a must in the two last boss fights of the new raid Ny’alotha.
In the battle against “The Corrupted Chassis of N’zoth” and “N’zoth the Corruptor,” the cloak is essential. Otherwise, you will succumb to N’zoth’s corruption.
What happens if you don’t wear a cloak? If you don’t wear your legendary cloak because you don’t have it or simply forgot it, you will be immediately controlled at the start of the two battles against N’zoth. The character will then count as an enemy for the rest of the raid. Your teammates will first have to kill the controlled characters and can then deal with the boss. This will be more difficult, as the fewer players that are alive, the harder it will be to manage the boss.
If you plan to raid in the next few days or at least want to check out the LFR of Ny’alotha, you should complete the quest and obtain the cloak. It is likely the best cloak you can get in this expansion.
Have you already obtained the cloak? Or were you without a cloak when facing N’zoth and experienced your blue wonder?
