As players work through the Venthyr campaign in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, they may receive an indication that they need to rescue Laurent from the Ember Ward to continue. However, there is not a great deal of in-game instruction on how to perform this rescue, and indeed some fans may find themselves stuck on this step.
Many gamers need help locating Laurent in World of Warcraft and even more need assistance in trying to rescue the character. For gamers stuck in either part of the process, the guide below should have all the information for anybody wanting help at any stage of the process.
Updated May 18th, 2023 by Hodey Johns: Laurent's Rescue quest hasn't changed with all the new updates to Shadowlands, but some additional information was needed since this quest chain is so crucial to the Revendreth storyline and progression. If players choose this Covenant for their characters, they will need to finish this storyline. So this article has been updated to include additional information to make things a little easier for players looking to get this quest chain completed quickly. This article now has more info on the quest chain itself, ways to earn the Renown needed to start the chain, and other tidbits to help out. Finally, the map location has been added and the information has been condensed, when possible, to make it easier to find specific information. Readers who would like elaboration will find what they need in the text.
Laurent's Location
Laurent can be found at coordinates 26, 49 in Revendreth, a location that is situated just to the southwest of Sinfall. Players can use a variety of AddOns to view these coordinates on the in-game map, and those that do should be able to find Laurent very easily.
However, fans that prefer to forego the installation of any new AddOns can use this map to learn the precise position of this Shadowlands NPC. Gamers are still finding hidden gems in this controversial expansion, so be on the lookout for more secrets.
How To Save Laurent
Upon finding Laurent at this location, players should complete the quest chain that he has to offer. More specifically, the chain of interest is the one that makes up the Mirror Marker of the Master storyline, and it includes quests like An Unfortunate Situation and When Only Ash Remains.
After working through all of the tasks in this chain, fans should find that Laurent has returned to their Covenant Sanctums in Shadowlands, and they will able to continue the campaign from there. It's not as tedious as finding all of the snail pets, but it is a somewhat lengthy chain that includes:
- An Unfortunate Situation
- Foraging for Fragments
- Moving Mirrors
- Light Punishment
- When Only Ash Remains
- Escaping the Master
- We Need More Power
- Mirror Making, Not Breaking
Renown Requirements
-
Renown 22 with chosen Covenant by doing the following:
- Torghast
- Anima
- Players can progress the story of their chosen Covenant
- Raids, Dungeons, Callings (to catch up on Renown)
While many players will already have obtained the requisite level of Renown before they are instructed to rescue Laurent from the Ember Ward, some fans may still need to rank up a bit. Fortunately, there are several ways to earn reputation and a catch-up feature has been employed in recent patches to make this process go more quickly. Cross-faction guilds are still wonky but this reputation system is still straightforward.
