Description

So, they are creating magical beasts deep within the Warrens. Their power is... substantial.

Maw Walker, I must trust in you to handle this. While I can provide insight, in combat I must admit your prowess exceeds my own.

Hunt the beasts that they train to hunt us. Show the Mawsworn that we too can bare fangs.

To do this quest, you have to do the event when it appears in the Warrens.

Similar to the [spell=347208], you'll see a big event icon appear in the Warrens when it's live. The specific event changes every week--the one I did doesn't even seem to be in the database yet (Hunt: Anima Devourers). It works the same way as the [spell=347208]. Progress the bar by killing the relevant mobs mentioned for it until the bar reaches 100%. The bar is progressable by anyone in the area, not just your own kills. A boss will spawn when the bar is 100%, and you kill that.

Be warned that the mobs needed for the one I did were all elites that hit pretty hard, and the boss was also pretty beefy. I do not recommend attempting to solo them as a non-tank, and it might take a tank a good while to kill anything solo. There wasn't anyone there at all when I did this with a friend, and I'm on a very high pop server. Bring friends or a premade!

Also, since I see a lot of comments about needing war mode on, we were war mode off when we did this.

12/27/20 - QUEST CURRENTLY BROKEN.

No quest objectives show on the map and the quest details are super cryptic. I'll update this post once I figure it out. So far, by these posts, it seems you have to be lucky to see the quest objectives.

------------

12/29/20 UPDATE - Seems the quest is now fixed after maintenance.


  2. Get into a group - ensure phasing is correct by returning to Oribos, then jumping into the MAW.

  4. Ensure "The Hunt" is active in The Beastwarrens section of the map (south east).

  6. Kill 6 Shadehound Devourers (I farmed at /way 52,78).

  8. A "Gourged Devourer" elite will appear. (You'll need a group to kill him).

  10. Once you get him down to about 75% HP, he will travel to the underground cave near /way 52,78 to finish the fight. Follow and kill him.

  12. Quest complete!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rule 6: Concealment is EverythingThe Maw · Level 60

    I have made a startling discovery, <name>. Do you recall how the captured agents of my cartel were taken to the Beastwarrens? The Mawsworn seem to think they possess a means of tracking me. And now, strange new runes empower the Jailer's hounds. Clearly, we cannot have that.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rule 6 Addendum: Save Me At Any CostThe Maw · Level 60

    You! You, there! Wait! You are the infamous Maw Walker, yes? I have heard much about you. Please, help me! My compatriots have been drained of their essence. The Mawsworn are using it to fashion their foul runes. One of them bound me here, and I am sure to be next on his list.
