The world quest “The Spider on the Wall” (engl. “The Spider on the Wall”) causes confused players in World of Warcraft time and again. MeinMMO explains to you how to solve this annoying quest.
What kind of quest is this? “The Spider on the Wall” can be found in the southwest of Maldraxxus at the House of the Chosen. There, Khaliiq, one of Lady Vashj’s handmaidens, is waiting for you.
For Khaliiq, you need to infiltrate the troops in the area unseen and steal three documents from important NPCs you find there. We explain how exactly that works here in the guide.
Solving “The Spider on the Wall” – Here’s how
What you need to do: Speak with Khaliiq to receive two new abilities. The first one passively disguises you similarly to a rogue or a feral druid in stealth mode. The other is called “Widow’s Venom” and can stun enemies.
You must move away from Khaliiq and visit three NPCs. You can find them at the following coordinates:
- Mel’san at 33.6/74.0 for the courier letter
- Supplier Kem at 37.4/73.1 for the supplier scroll
- Captain Hawken at 35.2/79.5 for the patrol setup
- In our guide, we explain how to display coordinates in WoW.
Once you have approached the NPCs, you must right-click on them. You should see a loot symbol and can steal the documents with a click. Once you have all the documents, you can return to Khaliiq with a new ability.
What is important? Always be careful that the other troops in the area do not see you. Most cannot detect you anyway, but some have a light blue eye above their head. These units can uncover you. Use Widow’s Venom to stun them or avoid them broadly. If you can’t find Widow’s Venom, use the following macro:

The wowhead reader and YouTuber Sipder shows in a video how the quest goes from start to finish. We have embedded the video here for you:
What makes the quest so annoying? Many players complain that they wouldn’t know what to do without tips. “The Spider on the Wall” is apparently not self-explanatory or sufficiently marked for them.
Additionally, the disguise ability seems to fail occasionally when moving away from Khaliiq. This can happen quickly when one of the guards approaches you and you don’t stun him in time.
Additionally, players complain, for example, on wowhead, that they cannot use abilities to increase their speed nor switch back to stealth mode once discovered. This unnecessarily extends the entire world quest.
However, with our guide, you should be able to complete the quest without any issues on your first try.
By the way, the first major patch 9.1 for World of Warcraft is coming up soon. A lot has already been revealed at BlizzCon 2021 about what is in “Chains of Domination”.
