Exciting Return: WoW Classic Season of Discovery Welcomes Back Key War Within Character

Xal’atath, the main villain of World of Warcraft: The War Within, may have just made her second appearance in Classic Season of Discovery. Some World of Warcraft fans believe that she is planning something significant in Season of Discovery that could tie it to the next retail expansion, even though her motives are currently unknown.

World of Warcraft has introduced some interesting changes to the Classic gameplay in Season of Discovery. In Phase 1, players encountered a Shadowy Figure during an endgame crafting questline. This mysterious entity resembles Xal’atath, the antagonist from The War Within, sparking speculation among fans about a possible connection between Season of Discovery and the retail World of Warcraft.

Now, Xal’atath could be making her second appearance in WoW Classic Season of Discovery. Like before, Phase 2 includes a long crafting questline involving the Shadowy Figure. As players progress through the quest, they come across a Spent Voidcore. After defeating some foes, the Shadowy Figure shows up and offers to charge the Voidcore for them at no cost. However, she expresses the hope that the character will show a similar level of generosity when they are in a position to help her. Wowhead has captured the exact dialogue of the Shadowy Figure from her second appearance in WoW Classic for fans who are interested.

A Shadowy Figure appears during a crafting quest at the level cap for WoW Classic Season of Discovery Phase 2, helping the player in hopes of them returning the favor later.

The same figure appeared in Season of Discovery Phase 1 for its capstone crafting quest.

Fans think this figure is Xal’atath, the antagonist of World of Warcraft: The War Within.

Xal’atath made her debut as the Legendary Shadow Priest dagger in Legion. She made a comeback in Battle for Azeroth, where players helped her assume a physical form. Although she was briefly shown in a cutscene during Patch 10.1.5 of the Dragonflight megadungeon, Dawn of the Infinite, she takes center stage in The War Within teasers, wielding the Darkheart – the same artifact seen in the cinematic where Iridikron also appeared.

Fans are already speculating about Xal’atath’s role in the Season of Discovery. Some believe that World of Warcraft might introduce an alternate timeline affected by Xal’atath and the Darkheart. Others suggest that WoW's Harbinger of the Void may be the catalyst for the Season of Discovery.

It's likely that the Shadowy Figure will make another appearance in upcoming phases of WoW Classic Season of Discovery. Fans will have to wait and see what her plans are, and whether World of Warcraft will connect Classic Season of Discovery with the retail version in some way.
