Unending Torment is a five-part Horde chain that starts inside Ruins of Lordaeron and finishes in the Undercity. Only the first item comes from the dungeon: the Abominable Head, dropped by The Baron. The rest is a short errand run around the Apothecarium, and along the way you find out whose head it is: Othmar Garithos.

Step by step

  1. Kill The Baron in Ruins of Lordaeron. He is the abomination in King’s Alley (the encounter list calls him The Butcher). Loot the Abominable Head and right-click it to start part 1.

  2. Part 1: bring the head to Master Apothecary Faranell in the Apothecarium (48.7, 69.0).

  3. Part 2: Faranell sends you to the body of Othmar. It is an Unfinished Abomination in the Undercity, at about 46.0, 62.0. Bring the Head of the Baron to it.

  4. Part 3: report back to Faranell. This is the step where you choose your item reward.

  5. Part 4: collect three reagents in the Undercity:

    • Toxic Skullcap from Tawny Grisette in the Trade Quarter (64.7, 49.5)
    • Blisterweed from a plant near the Herbalism trainer (53.8, 49.2)
    • Essence of Agony from Ezekiel Graves, the poison vendor in the Rogues’ Quarter (75.5, 51.6)

    Bring all three back to Faranell.

  6. Part 5: Faranell gives you a Hissing Serum. Inject it into the system above Othmar’s body (around 45.4, 63.5), then return to Faranell to finish the chain.

Rewards

At part 3, choose one:

  • Monstrous Cleaver: two-handed sword, 40–60 damage, 3.3 speed, +6 Stamina and Attack Power
  • Grave Shroud: cloak, +3 Stamina, +3 Strength
  • Slain Baron’s Signet: ring, +3 Stamina and a small defense bonus

ForeverDB lists 3,450 XP for part 1 and 1,650 XP plus 13 silver for each of parts 2 to 5. These are the same three items Alliance players get from Abominable Creatures, their quest for The Baron’s head.

Tips / common problems

  • The head does not always drop. Our dungeon notes and player reports agree it is not on every kill. If it did not drop, the only fix is another run.
  • Start it before you leave the dungeon. Right-click the head right away so it does not sit forgotten in your bags.
  • Clear the banshees before The Baron. Their silence can lock out your healer. His Knockout stuns the tank for 6 seconds, so do not fight him with your back to an uncleared pack.
  • The reagents are not drops. Toxic Skullcap and Essence of Agony come from NPCs in town. If you cannot find Blisterweed, look around the Herbalism trainer: it is a clickable plant there.
  • Do not confuse the heads. The Alliance quest Abominable Creatures asks for the Head of the Baron from the same boss. That is a different quest for the other faction.

Questions & answers

How do you start Unending Torment in WoW Forever?

Loot the Abominable Head from The Baron, the abomination boss in Ruins of Lordaeron. Right-click the head to start the quest, then bring it to Master Apothecary Faranell in the Undercity Apothecarium.

The Abominable Head did not drop. What now?

The head is not on every kill of The Baron. If it did not drop, you have to run the dungeon again. Nobody on your team can trade theirs to you, as it starts a quest.

Where are Toxic Skullcap, Blisterweed and Essence of Agony?

All three are in the Undercity. Toxic Skullcap comes from Tawny Grisette in the Trade Quarter (64.7, 49.5), Blisterweed from a plant near the Herbalism trainer (53.8, 49.2), and Essence of Agony from Ezekiel Graves, the poison vendor in the Rogues' Quarter (75.5, 51.6).

What is the reward for Unending Torment?

At the third step you choose Monstrous Cleaver (two-handed sword), Grave Shroud (cloak) or Slain Baron's Signet (ring). Each step also gives XP and a little money.
