The Maw is a quest for level 10-55 in Maldraxxus. It is step 2 of 12 in the Ritual for the Damned storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Oribos at 40.0, 68.6. It rewards 925 experience and money.

Description

<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.

If the baron survived, he may know our next course of action.

You came here from Oribos. Return there, and see if you can find a way back to the Maw.

Bolvar: It would seem you must brave the horrors of the Maw once again, <name>. Bolvar: I know not how to locate this missing Maldraxxi baron, nor our living allies. But I believe I can help you find Darion Mograine. That's a start, at least. Bolvar: Honored Voice, we seek entrance to the Maw. Tal-Inara: There is but one path to that dark realm. The same route all souls destined for damnation must take. Tal-Inara: But be warned, mortal. Though you escaped the Maw once, you may not be so fortunate a second time. Bolvar: We know the risk. There is no choice but to try.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Among the ChosenMaldraxxus · Level 10-55

    Only one rune remains... We should return to the House of the Chosen and report to Margrave Krexus. He will want to know of our progress.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Seeking the BaronMaldraxxus · Level 10-55

    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.
