Note - this part is automatic. It occurs when she dies. If she is already dead and you did not automatically complete the quest, you need to redo the dungeon and have her killed within reasonable distance.

No amount of clicking the item or targeting her corpse will complete the quest. She must die in front of you.

The title of this quest is a reference to the bible, especially to the old testament:

Genesis, 3:19
"By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."

It's quite a matching title - you have to kill Whitemane once and forever because she refuses to stay dead so she doesn't "return to dust" like she is supposed to be.

Description

<You take the second anointed blade in hand and feel the power of both swords course through you.> <There is but one thing left to do. As the mysterious, hooded woman explained, to put an end to the Scarlet Crusade, you must thrust both blades into the corpse of High Inquisitor Whitemane.>

Getting there

Inside the dungeon: Scarlet Monastery

The Crusade's fanatical leaders direct their followers from the Scarlet Cathedral, at the heart of the monastery grounds. This heavily guarded location functions as the order's headquarters, and some of the most zealous and intolerant crusaders roam the halls of this once-hallowed place.

Bosses in the Adventure Guide, in order: Thalnos the Soulrender, Brother Korloff, High Inquisitor Whitemane.

Entrance: Terrace of Repose, Tirisfal Glades at 84.8, 30.3.
