Description

I created Domination as a tool to punish Zovaal. My anger informed that creation, and now we pay the price for my hubris. Even Eternal Ones err on occasion. But we are not without hope. Take the half of the broken Helm of Domination, and test it upon one of your own. If it retains enough power, it can then be used to test it elsewhere in Zereth Mortis.

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.

  • Our Last OptionOribos · Level 60

    Zovaal has blocked our pursuit. If we are to defeat him, we must find a way to withstand Domination. But to overcome it, we need to understand how it works. The Primus of Maldraxxus created Domination, he will be able to tell us more.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Elder EruZereth Mortis · Level 60

    Since we have earned the trust of the Enlightened, I have learned more about their explorations into Zereth Mortis. They know more than they are willing to tell, but often do not act on that knowledge. Perhaps where they observe, we can be a catalyst for action.
