This quest has been bugged for a long time, and for me it was the Shadowlands introduction that overwrote the quest-phase.

What worked for me, is to abandon the introduction quest ''Shadowlands: A Chilling Summons''. This gives you about 5 seconds to run and click the Bwonsamdi Death Gate before the same quest is force-accepted, and you phase out again. Didn't have to kill any Ghouls.

If you've already completed the introduction quest, I have no idea how you can solve this problem, if you have it at all.

Description

I be havin' many rivals when it comes to claimin' souls. But it takes some serious mojo to do to Vol'jin what ya describe. Dat kind of power smells of old magic. Icecrown. It be more dan a pretty throne. It be an anchor dat holds dis world to da next, ya might say. I gonna open a death gate, and ya can go through and ask da Lich King if he be treadin' on Ol' Bwonsamdi's ground.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Confront The Val'kyrLevel 50

    Vol'jin's spirit is growing in power. I should no longer have to maintain a ritual to keep him here. Dis is fortunate, since Bwonsamdi warned me dat Eyir will likely not be pleased with my presence. Apparently she and Bwonsamdi have a past de loa was unwilling to discuss.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Mysteries of DeathLevel 50

    Hmph. Well, da Lich King and dat bossy val'kyr not be me only rivals. But dey were da ones most likely ta be behind all dis. Someone be playin' with very ancient mojo. Tell Vol'jin's spirit dat da answers he be lookin' for not be found in da world of da living.
