TheTormentors of Torghastevent is a weekly event that takes place in the original areas of the Maw. This may confuse many since most of the new 9.1 content inShadowlandsis concentrated in Korthia. However, the event essentially mirrors the Wrath of the Jailor, which endedwith 9.1’s release.

Each week, players will have the chance tounlock unique limited-time rewards. At the start of a new week, the rewards are reset, incentivizing players to participate in the event at least once every seven days. This guide will cover all of the possible spawn locations and explain everything else people need to know about the event.
Updated on Aug 01, 2025 by Payton Lott:The 9.1.5 update brought a number of QOL changes toShadowlands. Each WoW character will receive more Soul Cinders for each event completed during the week. Additionally, players will now be able to scrap their legendaries to recover the Soul Cinders used for upgrades. Thankfully, it now only takes a couple of weeks to collect enough Soul Cinders for rank 6. This updated guide also includes the names ofall fifteen Tormentors players will encounter. No detailed guide is needed for the fights, as each of the Tormentors can be defeated in just a couple of minutes.
Tormentors of Torghast Event Timer
Every two hours, the event will spawn in one of the locations throughout the Maw. For EU and Eastern Time players, this will be on the odd-numbered hours. For Central and Pacific time players, the event begins on even-numbered hours.Tormentors of Torghastwill begin at the following six different locations:

The exact coordinates of the event are not important, because thelocation of the Tormentors will appear on the map.Once the event has begun, the crossed swords icon will appear on the map where the event is taking place. While the spawn points are random, players can at least rule out the prior location from the list of possible spawn points.
Anyone trying to attend the event shouldhang around a central location and be ready on their mount before the event begins.The Maw is large, but those in a central location will have time to join the fight before it ends.
Tormentors Of Torghast Basics
At the start of the event, there will be three separate elite mobs, which are Lieutenant mobs. Once those three mobs are defeated, a boss mob (Tormentor) will spawn. For the elite enemies, people will want at least two other characters helping them out.
Group up and use basic strategies to take down the Tormentors and secure the loot. People that have high gear characters should not struggle if they have a little help from others on the server. There are a total of 15 different possible Tormentors, each with unique abilities and weaknesses. For the sake of brevity, this guide will not break all of them down in detail.
Tormentors
On populated servers, fighting the Tormentors will usually be a complete joke. A lot of users will struggle to even get to the fight before the Tormentor goes down. Using LFG and timing the spawns is important if players want to get the weekly cache from the mob bosses. Most of the time, all that players need to do is show up, and the Tormentors will fall in just a few minutes. All fifteen of the Tormentors are included below:
Loot And Rewards
The primary draw of the event is that upon completion,gamers will receive Soul Cinders.The reward is limited to one per week, but it is only one of three different methods to acquire Soul Cinders in 9.1. After the 9.1.5 update, the Tormentors event drops significantly more Soul Cinders in each cache. Now, participants will get 50+ Soul Cinders in each cache, with drop rates of the resource increased throughoutShadowlands. Therefore, everyone should be trying to play through the event at least once per week.
Additionally, players can get Soul Cinders from theCovenant Assault, as well as the Layer 9+ Torghast runs.Out of the three options, the Tormenters of Torghast is the least stressful. The event is less time demanding as well, because there will be a lot of characters on the server joining in.

Gamers that farm the event a second time will get a consolation prize of Death’s Advance Rep and some Soul Ash. Anyone looking to increase their rep or acquire some Soul Ash may consider joining the event. For most people, doing the event for a second or third time should not be a priority.
Why Soul Cinders Are Important
Patch 9.1 introduced Legendary ranks 5 and 6 toShadowlands. Gamers will no longer be able to just use Soul Ash for upgrades, and will not need Soul Cinders to get their armor up to level 262. Both the events andthe Torghast layerslimit the total amount of Soul Cinders a character can collect per week, with the Torghast layer 12 being the most fruitful method. In the new update, Soul Cinders have become the most valuable currency, becausethey are the only items that can be used to reach the max gear level.
Chain of Bahmetra
Each cache has a small chance to drop theChain of Bahmetra mount.It is a very rare drop that will likely take at least a few weeks to get. Gamers that have multiple alts can speed up the process by looting the cache once a week on each account. The mount is cool, but playing the same Tormentors of Torghast event over and over can get repetitive.Most gamers will get the mount eventually if they participate each week.
Other Tormentors Of Torghast Drops
The Tormentor’s Cache will always containWarped Phantasma.This Legendary item begins a quest called “Phantasmagoria”. Anyone looking for quick XP or Ve’nari rep will want to complete it. Additionally, the event has the chance to drop a weekly legendary item. Last week, the item was the Chain of Bahmethra mount.

For each week until the event ends, gamers will have the chance to collect the legendary item. It should be noted that the itemwill only appear in the Tormentor’s Cache,which can only be looted once per week by a character.
