Darkheart Thicket is located in Val'sharah at the base of the World Tree. It is the heart of the Nightmare corruption that is spreading throughout the zone.

Darkheart Thicket is one of the dungeons in World of Warcraft: Legion located with Val'sharah at the base of the World Tree Shaladrassil. Part of the experience has players rescuing Malfurion Stormrage from the Emerald Nightmareby cutting their way through to the heart of the Thicket.

The dungeon is part of Legion's scalable content, meaning the dungeons do not have to be played in level-order.[1]

Encounters

• Archdruid Glaidalis – Glaidalis was once known as among the most talented shapeshifters in all of Azeroth, and the elders of Moonglade would regularly send their most promising disciples to his care for instruction. But as has sadly too often been the case, those who are closest to nature are often the first to fall into the Nightmare's clutches.
• Oakheart – An ancient who formed from an offshoot of Shaladrassil itself, Oakheart has survived the Sundering, the Cataclysm, and countless blights. The ancient was able to weather these storms by drawing strength from the essence of the Dream itself. But now, that wellspring has become his undoing.
• Dresaron – Once a young green drake, tending to whelps in the shadow of the great world tree, Dresaron is now engulfed in nightmare, lost in a fog of hatred and fear. He lashes out with powerful wings and a withering breath, unleashing his rage on any who stumble into his clutches.
• Shade of Xavius – Once a powerful mage, and a councilor to Queen Azshara, Xavius forged a pact with Sargeras to enable the Legion's first invasion of Azeroth. Cursed and tormented in the wake of that defeat, Xavius now projects his true power from the Nightmare into our world, focusing his dark might to break the spirit of his old rival, Malfurion.

Dungeon Journal

In the shadow of Shaladrassil, the Nightmare permeates every inch on the once-lush forest. Where the eldest and greatest druids once tended to the woods, meditating beneath the great world tree, corruption and madness now reign. Deep within the tangled thicket, the Nightmare Lord Xavius works to break the will of his greatest prize.
