You unlock the Voidwalker in World of Warcraft: Forever by finishing a Warlock class quest that opens at level 10 and ends with you beating a Summoned Voidwalker in a fight. So the earliest you get it is level 10, and the quest teaches Summon Voidwalker, not your trainer.
The chain starts somewhere different for each Warlock race, and each route sends you after a different item. Below is the route for Humans, Gnomes, Orcs, Trolls and Undead, how to win the fight, and what to do once your demon is out. Quest names and levels are checked against Forever’s own data as of November 8, and the coordinates are close enough to find each spot, so read them as “about”.
What You Need Before You Start
- Level 10. Summon Voidwalker’s tooltip requires it, and the first quest in the chain opens at the same level.
- Your Imp. You have had it since the start, and it does a lot of the work in the fight.
- A Soul Shard for afterward. Summon Voidwalker has a 10-second cast and costs a Soul Shard every time. Train Drain Soul at level 10 and use it to finish a monster. Blizzard cut Drain Soul’s chance to give a shard on damage ticks at launch, so the killing tick is the one that counts.
The First Quest for Each Race
| Race | First quest | Who gives it | Coordinates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Human | Gakin’s Summons | Remen Marcot, in the Goldshire inn, Elwynn Forest | 44.5, 66.3 |
| Gnome | The Slaughtered Lamb | Lago Blackwrench, Ironforge | 47.6, 9.3 |
| Orc, Troll | Gan’rul’s Summons | Ophek, Razor Hill, Durotar | 54.4, 41.3 |
| Undead | Halgar’s Summons | Ageron Kargal, upstairs in the Gallows’ End Tavern, Brill | 61.6, 52.7 |
Each of those is only a summons: it sends you to the city Warlock who runs the real quest.
Human and Gnome: Surena’s Choker
- Find Gakin the Darkbinder in the basement of The Slaughtered Lamb, in Stormwind’s Mage Quarter (39.2, 85.2). Turn in your summons and take Surena Caledon.
- Go to the Brackwell Pumpkin Patch in eastern Elwynn Forest (71.0, 80.8). Surena Caledon is level 9 and has two guards, so pull carefully and kill her for Surena’s Choker.
- Return to Gakin and take The Binding. He hands you a Bloodstone Choker.
- Use the choker on the summoning circle in the room below Gakin.
- Beat the Summoned Voidwalker, then go back up to Gakin to finish the quest and learn the spell.
Orc and Troll: The Tablet of Verga
- Find Gan’rul Bloodeye in the Cleft of Shadow, Orgrimmar (48.3, 45.3). Turn in your summons and take Creature of the Void.
- Climb Skull Rock, the cave east of Orgrimmar’s gate in Durotar. The Burning Blade Stash holding the Tablet of Verga sits at the top (51.6, 9.8).
- Fight your way up slowly. The cave is packed with Burning Blade Apprentices and Fanatics at levels 9 to 11, and Gazz’uz, level 14, stands by the stash. This is the hardest part of the Horde route, so a friend helps a lot here.
- Return to Gan’rul and take The Binding, which gives you Glyphs of Summoning.
- Use the glyphs at the purple circle in Neeru Fireblade’s tent, across the Cleft of Shadow.
- Beat the Summoned Voidwalker, then return to Gan’rul.
Undead: Egalin’s Grimoire
- Find Carendin Halgar in the Magic Quarter, Undercity (85.1, 26.0). Turn in your summons and take Creature of the Void.
- Go to the Scarlet tower in Tirisfal Glades (51.1, 67.6). Perrine’s Chest is on the ground floor, under the stairs.
- Clear the room first. Captain Perrine is level 9 and a Scarlet Zealot stands with him. Open the chest for Egalin’s Grimoire.
- Return to Carendin and take The Binding, which gives you Runes of Summoning.
- Use the runes on the circle below Carendin.
- Beat the Summoned Voidwalker yourself. If a city guard kills it for you, the kill does not count.
How to Win the Fight
The Summoned Voidwalker is level 10 and not elite, so any Warlock at the right level can solo it. Two things catch people out: it hits harder once it falls below about 30% Health, and it leaves after about 3 minutes, so you cannot stall forever.
- Start at full Health and Mana with your Imp out.
- Open with your damage over time spells: Bane of Agony, Corruption and Immolate.
- Let the Imp hold its attention while your spells tick and you keep casting.
- Use Fear if you need a breather. Your damage keeps ticking while it runs.
- Save your burst for the end, so the harder-hitting stretch below 30% is short.
If you lose, you do not need to redo the chain. The quest item stays with you until you turn the quest in, so walk back and use it again.
After You Unlock It
The Voidwalker is the demon to level with, and our Warlock leveling guide builds around it. A few Forever details are worth knowing:
- It is frailer than you remember, for now. Pets get 2 Health per point of your Stamina in Forever, down from 7.5. Blizzard’s November 6 hotfixes added about 40 base Health, and its class tuning post set November 10 hotfixes so Voidwalkers work about as well as they did in Classic Era.
- Some abilities come from Grimoires. Demon trainers sell them, and Blizzard’s launch notes lowered Warlock training costs to make room for that spending. Our guide to learning new abilities explains how training works.
- More demons follow. The Succubus or Incubus comes at level 20 and the Felhunter at level 30, each from its own class quest.
