A verified Blizzard quest record from The Maw. Use the archive brief, rewards, and linked research to finish it without losing your place.
What To Do
Complete the quest objective shown in your tracker in The Maw, then return to the turn-in NPC.
Quest Text
King Anduin has not been found inside Torghast. I fear we could spend eternity searching those endless corridors to no avail. We must know what fate has befallen him. To peer into the tower represents a grave risk, yet we have little choice. Stand with me, {name}. We will use the broken Helm of Domination to see into that hellish place. Perhaps together we can hold back the hungry darkness.
Plan the run before you travel
The Maw belongs to the Shadowlands archive. Start with its campaign track if this record is unavailable or the next step is missing.
Open the Wowhead page for coordinates, NPC spawn comments, cave entrances, and player-submitted route notes. WoW-God links out instead of copying community comments.
No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.
Pin the quest in-game, enable objective outlines, then use the exact-title references in the archive for NPC or object coordinates. Add a correction below if the live game differs from this record.
