How to get Cutting Edge: Ula'tek
Cutting Edge: Ula'tek has 1 requirement. Defeat 
Ula'tek in the Venomous Abyss on Mythic difficulty before the next raid tier is released.
- Join a Mythic raid. Mythic is the top difficulty of the Venomous Abyss, above Raid Finder, Normal and Heroic.
- Reach the last boss. Ula'tek is the 8th and final boss, behind
The Coiled Altar. - Kill her on Mythic. The achievement pops on the kill for every player in the raid.
- Collect Ahead of the Curve too. Ahead of the Curve: Ula'tek asks for Heroic or higher, so the same Mythic kill earns it.
- Finish inside Season 2. The feat stays open until the next raid tier is released.
Our Mythic raid team can also clear the Venomous Abyss with you and get the Cutting Edge kill on your character.
Cutting Edge: Ula’tek on your character
Our raid team clears the Venomous Abyss on Mythic with you. Season 2 Mythic+ has its own card.
Cutting Edge and Ahead of the Curve on Ula'tek
| Achievement | Kill needed | Open until |
|---|---|---|
| Cutting Edge: Ula'tek | Ula'tek on Mythic | The next raid tier |
| Ahead of the Curve: Ula'tek | Ula'tek on Heroic or Mythic | The next raid tier |
Both feats arrived with the raid in the week of 18 August 2026. Normal, Heroic and Mythic opened together that week, and EU realms followed on 19 August.
A Heroic kill gives Ahead of the Curve only. Cutting Edge needs the Mythic version of the fight.
How long Cutting Edge: Ula'tek stays open
Cutting Edge: Ula'tek counts during Midnight Season 2. Blizzard ties its end to the release of the next raid tier.
Patch 12.1.5 arrived on 13 October 2026 with the Season 2 mid-season refresh. It added The Unbinding of Kith'ix, a raid with a single boss.
Blizzard has not dated the next raid tier yet. Until it lands, every Mythic Ula'tek kill still awards Cutting Edge.
Mythic+, Delves and the rest of the season are covered in our Midnight Season 2 guide.
