At some point in the coming weeks, Patch 11.1.5 will land on the live servers of World of Warcraft. Included: a shadow worm mount that you must conquer a particularly tough challenge to earn.
What kind of mount is this? The shadow worm, officially named “Ny’alothan Shadow Worm,” is coming to Azeroth with WoW Patch 11.1.5 and is one of the new rewards you can earn through the returned version of a content from the expansion Battle for Azeroth.
Specifically, the Disturbing Visions from Patch 8.3 will celebrate their comeback with the next content patch. They will take you into the nightmarish versions of the faction capitals Orgrimmar and Stormwind as dreamed up by N’Zoth’s mind.
Your job: Prevent these visions from becoming reality! For this, you must find and defeat Alleria or Thrall. Additionally, you can also complete several optional tasks and hard modes during each run. Back then, through the Disturbing Visions, you could upgrade the legendary cloak Ashjra’kamas, thereby increasing resistance to N’Zoth’s corruption.

From Hard Mode to Super Hard Mode
What changes with the new version? Those who wanted to tackle the toughest version of the Disturbing Visions back then could activate a total of five masks and thus as many affixes that significantly affected the difficulty of the challenge – at least until the nerfs.
There will be those five masks again this time. Additionally, you should also be able to unlock three more masks, allowing a total of eight affixes to be activated in the new version of the visions.
Those who activate all eight masks in Stormwind and Orgrimmar and successfully complete the resulting madness in each Disturbing Vision will earn the achievements “Beyond the Most Horrific Vision of Stormwind” and “Beyond the Most Horrific Vision of Orgrimmar.”
You need these for the new achievement “Mastering the Visions,” which rewards you with the already mentioned shadow worm mount.
What else does Patch 11.1.5 bring? The interim patch also includes the comeback of the Disturbing Visions, the new Glory faction Nightfall, adjustments to Children’s Week, and the boss event “Cunning Duos.”
As of now, there is no release date. However, the release candidate has already gone live on the PTR, which suggests a timely launch. Additionally, Children’s Week is likely to start on April 28, 2025. Since the patch brings various adjustments for the event, it must be released beforehand.
