Quest Log

The Jailer's Defeat

The Jailer's Defeat is a quest for level 60 in Zereth Mortis, added in Shadowlands. It is step 1 of 5 in the Epilogue: Judgment storyline, the opening step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Zereth Mortis at 35.0, 64.8.

Description

At long last, we have thwarted the Jailer's schemes.

Both the Forge of Afterlives and Azeroth's world-soul have been restored, and the Shadowlands can now begin to recover from the anima drought.

I know it is in your nature to push ever forward. But this was a monumental victory, and it deserves a moment of reflection.

Did blizzard seriously just spoil me the ending of the expansion just because i did story quests? Without giving me a chance/quest to do the raid first? What a joke this game has become. That's the last straw honestly who is running wow these days? Worst expansion to date i can't believe it

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.

    With the Jailer defeated, we must now turn our attention to healing the wounds he inflicted upon the Shadowlands. That process begins with Sylvanas Windrunner. Though she proved instrumental to our victory, the terrible atrocities she committed have been neither forgotten nor forgiven.
