What To Do

Quest Text
This lich seeks a reward for his assault on the House of Eyes. But the power he craves will be his downfall. We will use our knowledge of his secret ritual to lure him out of the House of Rituals. Take these crystals, {name}. Charge them with anima reclaimed from Mor'Bitan's slain minions. But fracture them first, so that they shatter as the ritual nears completion... but not before Mor'Bitan believes that it has begun. That is when we will strike.
Plan the run before you travel
Maldraxxus 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.
