A new secret has been uncovered in the World of Warcraft community. However, this comes with fresh puzzles.
For some, they are annoying, for others the best pastime in World of Warcraft – puzzles and secrets. WoW is full of them and almost always there is an exclusive reward at the end, such as a special mount, a pet, or a transmog item. Now the community has found a hidden area where all puzzles are honored and new ones are presented.
What has been found? If you dive at a very specific location, you will be teleported to a new position – a place that cannot be reached any other way. At this location, numerous NPCs wander around, and characters are honored for their previous puzzle achievements. You can join the Cabal of the Mindseekers and earn the title “Mindseeker”.
WoW Guide: How to become a Mindseeker
To become a Mindseeker, you need to travel to a location that has caused much speculation in the past: a sunken, glowing pearl deep on the ocean floor, which seems unreachable – but it can be reached.
To reach it, you need two things:
- Underwater breathing (either from a warlock, a potion, or quest progress in Vash’jir)
- A fast underwater mount (like a seahorse)
Proceed as follows:
- Travel to Vash’jir at coordinates 16 / 85, to the ocean surface. This is southwest of L’Ghorek.
- Swim straight south from there until you reach the exhaustion zone.
- Swim a short distance back until the exhaustion zone ends.
- Dive straight down now and push a little further south repeatedly – and pull back as soon as you reach the exhaustion zone.
- At some point, the screen will become dark blue at the edge. Shortly after, you will reach a depth, but the exhaustion zone also begins.
- Mount up on your seahorse (at the latest now) and swim straight towards the pearl.
If you have done everything correctly, you should reach the pearl before exhaustion drains your health points. Once you have “swum into the pearl,” you will be automatically teleported.
Where are you teleported to? It is a modified version of the Seat of Knowledge in Pandaria. Here you will find several NPCs and see through holograms which various puzzles you have already solved. Additionally, you can buy alcohol from a succubus, bind your hearthstone there, use various portals, and get hints on unsolved puzzles.
What are the requirements for the title? To become a Mindseeker, you must speak to Anakron. Although the requirements have not yet been fully confirmed, it seems that you must have solved at least 17 of the previous WoW puzzles. This corresponds to a large portion of the puzzles that have been published so far.
If you have not mastered so many puzzles yet – no worries. You can simply bind your hearthstone there and have quick access to this location again later to pick it up. Just keep in mind that you can quickly reach your capital using the housing system, even without using a hearthstone.
If you are hearing about the puzzles in World of Warcraft for the first time, don’t worry. We have already deciphered a large part of these secrets and packaged them into various guides for you: These are the greatest secrets of WoW and how to solve them.
