Pick up “Nola’s Last Wish” from Alyx in WoW’s 20th Anniversary Celebration area, then talk to Lashk to learn the news about Nola. From here, you need to head to Vol’dun in Zandalar.

Horde players can quickly get to Zandalar by taking the portal to Zuldazar. Alliance players who have played through the Battle for Azeroth campaign can take the boat to Zandalar in Boralus. Alternatively, an Alliance-friendly boat in the Echo Isles (Kalimdor) takes you straight there.

If you’re interested, Elder Kuppaka at Tortaka Refuge provides some extra information, but you can skip ahead to picking up the clue needed for the quest.

Clue location

  • A map of Vol'dun showing the location of Nola's Last Wish
  • Nola's Last Wish among scrolls

To find Nola’s Last Wish (the item, not the quest!), head to Tortaka Refuge in Vol’dun. Look for the small Tortollan encampment overlooking the naga area, then pick up Nola’s Last Wish among the scrolls.

Finally, talk to Scrollsage Nala, who asks you to let Lashk know that “this old Tortollan has made it to the water.” Who’s cutting onions in here?

Return to Lask in WoW’s 20th Anniversary Celebration area to hand in ” the quest and receive 5 Bronze Celebration Tokens. Completing this quest also ticks off the “The Case of an Old Soul” part of the “Assistant to the Assistant Guest Relations Manager” Achievement.

This article is in tribute to Maryann Strossner, who provided one of the most iconic lines in World of Warcraft and brought joy to the entire community with her positivity and love for the role.
