The Power of the Maw

Enter the Maw with Kleia, then meet her outside Perdition Hold.

• Meet with Kleia
• Travel to the Maw
• Meet with Kleia outside Perdition Hold.

Lysonia flees to the Maw to enact her dark rituals. As the Maw Walker, you are the only one who can pursue her.

Take Kleia and my blade. She must be stopped.

You will receive:

• 4,750 XP

I can feel the oppression here, as if it were a real weight on my body.

As ever and always, no quest shortcuts here, so get to Oribos, head upstairs to the Ring of Transference, then check in with Kleia before jumping off:

• I never believed that fate would bring me here, yet here we stand.
• So... how do we get to the Maw?

Welp. Hopefully Ve'nari isn't too upset at the Maw Walker for breaking rule #0...

Head southwest, south of Zovaal's Cauldron, then take a left and head south to the Face of Oblivion and Perdition Hold.

Turn in and Ve'nari will chime in with a warning (won't trigger if the Maw progression is advanced):

Exposed Anima patterns reveal the player's vulnerabilities, increasing damage taken by 200% while in Perdition Hold. However, Kleia is in the party and Compassion is still tagging along, helping out with DPS.

Kleia also has some unique gossip text before starting the next quests:

• This place sends a shiver down my spine. My skin is prickling, constantly on edge. My body wants to flinch at every otherworldly sound.
• I am resolute. I am an Ascended of Bastion. It is my duty to seek out those who pose a threat not only to our ways, but the Shadowlands as a whole.
