Maw assaults, officially known as Covenant Assaults, are unlocked by progressing through a specific questline introduced in the Chains of Domination update and accepting a follow-up quest in Korthia.
These assaults provide various activities and rewards within the Maw and Korthia zones.
Prerequisites for Unlocking Maw Assaults
To gain access to Maw assaults and participate in their activities, you must fulfill two primary requirements:
- Complete Chapter 2 of the Chains of Domination Questline: Specifically, you need to finish the chapter titled "Maw Walkers." This questline is central to the Chains of Domination content and progresses the narrative within the Shadowlands.
- Pick Up the Breadcrumb Quest "A Unified Effort": After completing the "Maw Walkers" chapter, you must travel to Korthia and speak with Bolvar Fordragon. He will offer you the quest "A Unified Effort," which acts as the final step to activate the assaults.
Once these steps are completed, Covenant Assaults will begin to spawn regularly in the Maw, allowing you to participate and earn rewards.

What Are Maw Assaults?
Maw Assaults, or Covenant Assaults, are time-limited events in the Maw where one of the four Covenants (Kyrian, Necrolord, Night Fae, Venthyr) launches an offensive against the Jailer's forces. Participating in these assaults offers players opportunities to:
- Earn Stygia and Soul Cinders.
- Acquire reputation with factions like the Death's Advance.
- Obtain gear and other valuable items.
- Complete daily and weekly quests for additional rewards.
These events provide a structured way to engage with the challenging environment of the Maw, making it a more rewarding and accessible zone.
