Quest Log

Seeking the Baron

Seeking the Baron is a quest for level 10-55 in Maldraxxus. It is step 3 of 12 in the Ritual for the Damned storyline. It rewards 7,500 experience and money.

Description

Take this amulet. One like it is carried by each of the Four Horsemen.

The amulets are imbued with a power that links them to one another. That connection should help you locate Darion Mograine.

No doubt Darion has witnessed countless horrors in the Maw. Perhaps he has caught sight of the missing baron.

Let us hope he can lead you to our Azerothian allies as well.

To complete this quest you need to enter The Maw.
There's the flow of souls in the middle of Oribos you need to jump into to get to The Maw.
So, you need to use a teleportation pad to travel to the second level of Oribos and just jump into the flow.

If anyone is struggling to complete this quest once you've entered The Maw, disable your addons! Not sure if it's ElvUI, but the Complete Quest option wasn't available to me (conflicting with an addon). Reactivate your addons once completed! Hope this helps!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The MawMaldraxxus · Level 10-55

    <name>, your arrival has set Maldraxxus ablaze. If you have any honor, you will do as I ask. I believe I know where our answers may lie. The baron preceding Draka was lost to the Maw. It is said you have entered that dark abyss... and returned.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Hunt for the BaronMaldraxxus · Level 10-55

    <The amulet Bolvar gave you flickers with a faint red light, then grows dim. To be useful in finding Darion Mograine, you must find a way to restore its potency. You recall an area called Zovaal's Cauldron that was teeming with dark magic. Perhaps the amulet's power could be restored there.>

The storyline at a glance

Ritual for the Damned has 12 steps, from Among the Chosen to A Soul Saved.
