While it may seem obvious, the way back into the Maw is return to Oribos, go the Ring of Transference level (where the flightmaster hangs out), and jump into the column of light in the middle of the ring.

Thanks, was wondering how to get there.

Thank you very much for posting the way back. It was not obvious to me at all, obviously. :)

Description

Souls continue to pour into the Maw, and with them the anima that could help us. You were able to rescue me from that place. Can I count on your strength to repeat the same trick? Please, get us more willing souls so we can bolster this sanctum's power. Seek out what aid you can and do what we can't, Maw Walker. You are our last, best, hope.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Souls PlightLevel 60
Anima enables us to do many fings, but this sanctum can not function on anima alone. It'll require the combined effort of many souls workin' togeffer to unlock its full potential. The Soul Warden is eager to be of service ever since you rescued 'im from the Maw.

After this quest

Setting the Ground RulesThe Maw · Level 55-60
Back to rescue more souls? How intrepid. Though I must say, your earlier escapade has drawn the Jailer's attention... and his ire. After all, none have successfully eluded him before. Except for me.
