In World of Warcraft: Midnight Season 2, each Mythic+ dungeon has its own Keystone Hero achievement. Complete that dungeon at Mythic+ level 10 or higher within the time limit to unlock a permanent teleport directly to its entrance. You do not need to reach the seasonal 2,500 Mythic+ rating for the dungeon portals; that rating belongs to the separate Midnight Keystone Hero: Season 2 achievement.
How Keystone Hero Portals Work in Midnight Season 2
Keystone Hero portals are individual dungeon rewards. A timed Mythic+ 10 run unlocks the teleport for that specific dungeon. Completing a different dungeon at the same level does not grant the missing portal.
- Difficulty: Mythic+ 10 or higher.
- Completion: The key must be completed within the timer.
- Reward: The associated Keystone Hero achievement and a teleport to that dungeon.
- Season: The achievements belong to the Midnight Season 2 dungeon rotation.
- Scope: The portal reward is account-wide according to the current achievement data.
- Cooldown: The current PTR data does not provide a finalized separate cooldown value for the Season 2 portals.
The seasonal Midnight Keystone Hero achievement is different. It requires at least 2,500 Mythic+ rating and does not replace the eight dungeon-specific achievements. You can unlock all available portals without reaching 2,500 rating, provided you time a +10 in every dungeon.
All Midnight Season 2 Dungeon Teleports
| Dungeon | Expansion or season | Portal requirement | Achievement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Altar of Fangs | Midnight Patch 12.1 | Time Mythic+ 10 or higher | Keystone Hero: Altar of Fangs |
| Murder Row | Midnight | Time Mythic+ 10 or higher | Keystone Hero: Murder Row |
| Den of Nalorakk | Midnight | Time Mythic+ 10 or higher | Keystone Hero: Den of Nalorakk |
| The Blinding Vale | Midnight | Time Mythic+ 10 or higher | Keystone Hero: The Blinding Vale |
| Voidscar Arena | Midnight | Time Mythic+ 10 or higher | Keystone Hero: Voidscar Arena |
| Ruby Life Pools | Dragonflight | Time Mythic+ 10 or higher | Keystone Hero: Ruby Life Pools (Midnight Season 2) |
| Temple of Sethraliss | Battle for Azeroth | Time Mythic+ 10 or higher | Keystone Hero: Temple of Sethraliss |
| Kings' Rest | Battle for Azeroth | Time Mythic+ 10 or higher | Keystone Hero: Kings' Rest |
The teleport is attached to the dungeon-specific achievement rather than to a separate consumable item. After the achievement is awarded, the dungeon teleport becomes available through the game’s Mythic+ teleport interface.

How to Unlock Every Portal
- Obtain or join a Mythic+ key for one of the eight Season 2 dungeons.
- Run the dungeon at level 10 or higher.
- Complete the dungeon before the timer expires.
- Confirm that the corresponding Keystone Hero achievement appears in the achievements interface.
- Repeat the process for the remaining seven dungeons.
A failed or untimed run does not award the dungeon’s Keystone Hero achievement. You can still gain loot, Mythic+ rating and other progression from an untimed key, but the portal requires a timed completion.
Is a +10 Required for Midnight Season 2 Portals?
Yes. The current Patch 12.1 PTR achievement data lists Mythic+ level 10 or higher, completed within the time limit, for the Season 2 dungeon-specific Keystone Hero achievements. This is the final requirement currently documented for the portals.
Higher keys also count. A timed +11, +12 or higher completion awards the same dungeon portal, so there is no separate reason to push a particular dungeon above +10 solely for teleport access.
Do You Need 2,500 Mythic+ Rating for the Portals?
No. The 2,500 rating requirement belongs to Midnight Keystone Hero: Season 2, a seasonal Feat of Strength. It is separate from the individual dungeon achievements.
- Dungeon portal: Time that specific dungeon at Mythic+ 10 or higher.
- Seasonal Keystone Hero achievement: Reach 2,500 Mythic+ rating.
- Keystone Master: Reach 2,000 rating for the season’s Master reward.
Your rating can help you qualify for stronger groups, but the game checks the timed completion of each dungeon for the corresponding teleport.
Midnight Season 2 Mythic+ Rotation
Season 2 contains five Midnight dungeons and three returning dungeons. Altar of Fangs is the new Patch 12.1 dungeon and joins the Mythic+ rotation when Season 2 begins, one week after the Curse of Ula’tek content update launches.
| Dungeon group | Dungeons |
|---|---|
| New Midnight Season 2 dungeon | Altar of Fangs |
| Midnight dungeons | Murder Row, Den of Nalorakk, The Blinding Vale, Voidscar Arena |
| Returning dungeons | Ruby Life Pools, Temple of Sethraliss, Kings' Rest |
The returning dungeons are part of the Season 2 portal collection. Their previous expansion does not change the requirement: you must time the current Season 2 Mythic+ version at level 10 or higher.
What Is the Difference Between a Dungeon Portal and the Season 2 Keystone Hero Reward?
The dungeon portal is a convenience reward earned eight times, once for each dungeon. The seasonal Keystone Hero achievement is a rating milestone earned once.
For example, reaching 2,500 rating does not automatically unlock the Altar of Fangs or Kings' Rest teleport. You still need to time a +10 or higher in each dungeon whose portal you want.
Conversely, completing all eight timed +10 runs unlocks the full Season 2 portal collection even if your total rating remains below 2,500.
Account-Wide Portal Rules
The current achievement data identifies the dungeon teleport rewards as account-wide. This means the unlock is intended to be available to other characters on the same World of Warcraft account after one character earns the achievement.
The portal does not unlock dungeons outside the Season 2 rotation. Earlier Midnight Season 1 portals and portals from older expansions remain separate achievements. A Season 2 completion also does not retroactively grant the Season 1 dungeons that are absent from the current rotation.
If a portal does not appear immediately after a successful run, check the following:
- Verify that the key was at least level 10.
- Confirm that the timer was successfully beaten.
- Check that the correct Season 2 dungeon was completed rather than a similarly named non-keystone version.
- Relog or change zones if the achievement has been awarded but the teleport interface has not refreshed.
- Check the achievement on the character that completed the run before testing another character.
When Should You Start Collecting the Portals?
A practical starting order is to collect the portals while progressing through your normal Mythic+ rating. Once your group is comfortable with a dungeon at +10, completing it within the timer provides both rating and the permanent travel unlock.
Do not treat every +10 as identical. The five Midnight dungeons and the three returning dungeons have different layouts, timers and encounter demands. The safest approach is to prepare for each dungeon separately, use the current season’s routes and mechanics, and avoid relying on Season 1 routes or older Battle for Azeroth strategies without checking the Season 2 updates.
For a group pushing specifically for portals, the important objective is not a high score or a fast leaderboard time. It is a clean, timed completion at +10 or higher. A higher key is useful only when the group is already comfortable with the dungeon and wants additional rating or rewards.
Common Mistakes When Unlocking Keystone Hero Teleports
- Confusing 2,500 rating with portal access: The seasonal achievement and dungeon achievements are separate.
- Completing a +10 after the timer: An untimed key does not unlock the portal.
- Assuming one portal unlocks the whole rotation: Every dungeon has its own Keystone Hero achievement.
- Using an old dungeon version: Only the current Season 2 Mythic+ version satisfies the requirement.
- Ignoring returning-dungeon changes: Temple of Sethraliss, Kings' Rest and Ruby Life Pools receive Season 2 updates and should not be approached solely from their original expansion guides.
- Expecting an item in the bags: The reward is connected to the achievement and teleport interface, not necessarily a tradable or consumable portal item.
- Assuming the portal is a direct group summon: The teleport moves the individual player; it does not replace a Warlock summon or automatically transport the entire party.
