Return Lost Souls

Return Lost Souls is a quest for level 60. It is step 33 of 33 in the Loyal to the Primus storyline, the final step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Maldraxxus at 50.0, 71.6. It rewards money.

Description

Maw Walker, I'm sure you've seen firsthand the souls that continue to pour into the Maw.

We must act now to cut off the Jailer's power, denying him as many souls as possible. That power belongs to the Necrolords.

I shall direct your efforts to save these souls, and help find them a place among the armies of Maldraxxus.

Return to the Maw and rescue those that you can.

If the quest doesn't show up after you change Covenant, relog.

I changed covenant when my old Ardenweald was at Renown 80, finished my Necrolord introquest and the 'Return Lost Souls' quest didn't show up,

I thought at first maybe I had to just do more of the Necrolord campaign but I was at 4/9 when I decided to relog. The quest finally showed up.

2 years later, Blizzard still hasn't fixed the weird glitch where the quest may not show up on a fresh level 60, and you have to relog to see it. Wasted an hour doing other things like "wait, do you have to go see Ve'nari to unlock it? Maybe find 1000 anima?"
Yeah I'm just a bit salty.

Aside from that, it indeed is quite easy to just do a level 1 run of Torghast, but maybe not the fastest way. There's largely enough souls in the Cauldron to finish the quest in 5-10 minutes.
