Rule 1: Have an Escape Plan

Rescue 5 souls and retrieve 60 Stygia.

Stronger enemies will have a higher chance to drop large amounts of Stygia.

Use the Stygia to purchase a Cypher of Relocation from Ve'nari.

• Souls taken into the Soulkeeper (5)
• Stygia (60)
• More Stygia can be found from powerful foes
• Purchase a Cypher of Relocation

Many doomed souls suffer within the Maw. You must be careful if you do not wish to join them.

Your Soulkeeper can hold a small number of souls until you return to your covenant. But that will be of little benefit if you do not survive this place yourself.

There is a substance, stygia, that is found on some creatures within the Maw. The stronger the soul, the more stygia they have.

Collect some of it for me and I can fashion it into many things you will find quite useful.

You will receive:

• 7,500 XP
• +1 reputation with Ve'nari

I will gladly assist you in the acquisition of survival tools... provided you bring me the stygia.

You seem to have a knack for drawing the Jailer's attention.

This changes the terms of our arrangement.

Exit the refuge and look all over for mobs to kill and Soul Cages to open. Cages are marked on the minimap with treasure chests. Open a cage to free a Caged Soul, then click on the Caged Soul to actually advance the quest. Wailing Souls also count - interact with one between its Overwhelming Misery casts to collect it. Each soul is worth roughly twenty Stygia, so just freeing the souls will gather enough stygia for the quest.

A good target as far as mobs to kill go are elites - marked with skulls on the minimap. They will drop a significant amount of stygia, but are under the Jailer's eye.

Acquire 60 stygia:

This unlocks the Eye of the Jailer mechanic.

Return to Ve'nari and purchase the Cypher of Relocation from her.

• Description
• Until the emergence of mortals who could walk the Maw, the Mawsworn didn't bother chasing their enemies for long. You pose a rather unique threat, to them and to me.
• I can help you better understand your enemy, and operate within the Maw. Know that I shall not do so without the benefits of your labor.
• Fetch me some stygia from beyond my cloak's protection. For your trouble, I will trade a Cypher of Relocation.
• Completion
• Ably done, Maw Walker. I am certain this is all most overwhelming.
• Make sure you hold on tight to that cypher. You'll need it.
