Description

Since crossing into the Shadowlands, I've been so focused on our mission that I never even considered the souls of my family being here somewhere.

Whatever this realm called Maldraxxus is, I hope it is worthy of my father's service!

We must free him, <name>. There is... much I need to say to him.

Ran into a bug where I killed Deslan and credit was "given" however the quest wasn't completed. There was no text under the quest name in my log, no instructions or greyed text. Deslan even respawned and we fought again. Had to abandon and pick the quest back up. No issues the 2nd time.

Absolutely NOT a pushover. However, if you do happen to die, don't take the shortest route back when you're looking at the map. You'll be continually accosted then reach a bridge with 4 or 6 elites on it that you'll wind up taking at least 2 at a time. Take the long way around, across the 2 bridges. It will be clear when you look at the map. On the last bridge there's a patrolling elite I was able to take. At the end of the bridge there are 2 more elites. As soon as I agro'd them I hit Divine Steed (ret pally here). If you have some other similar mechanism, the two elites will go back to where they were, just don't stop running. I believe this is the same route you took when the cartel member was shielding you. Holy crap. Where's the Tylenol.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Delving DeeperMaldraxxus · Level 10-55

    It's quite a thrill to have a mortal for a business partner! The amulet really is intriguing. What's that? Oh yes, that baron you're searching for... Well it so happens that I learned of a Maldraxxi warlord being held in the lower courtyard of Perdition Hold.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Wake of AshesMaldraxxus · Level 10-55

    It feels as if the Maw itself is sentient... and taking notice of our presence. We must leave at once. Bolvar must be informed of what is happening here. I will bring my father with us. Lead the way out of here, <name>. With haste.
