How to Get the Succubus and Felhunter as a Warlock in WoW: Forever (Level 20 and 30 Quests)

Every Warlock demon quest after the Voidwalker in WoW: Forever: the level 20 Succubus (and new Incubus) chains for Alliance and Horde, and the level 30 Felhunter quests in Ratchet.

Succubus and Felhunter as a WarlockArt: Blizzard Entertainment

Your Voidwalker carries you through the early levels, but every Warlock in World of Warcraft: Forever wants the next two demons: the Succubus at level 20 and the Felhunter at level 30. Both still come from class quests rather than a trainer, and Forever adds a new option – the Incubus – as an alternative to the Succubus. Here's every chain for Alliance and Horde.

This guide is checked against World of Warcraft: Forever as live on November 10, 2026. Still need your Voidwalker? Start with our Troll Warlock Voidwalker guide.

Quick answer

Demon Level Alliance starts Horde starts Ends with
Summon Succubus 20 Gakin the Darkbinder, Stormwind Carendin Halgar (Undercity) or Gan'rul Bloodeye (Orgrimmar) The Binding – kill a summoned Succubus
Summon Incubus (new) 20 Gakin the Darkbinder Undercity or Orgrimmar The Binding – kill a summoned Incubus
Summon Felhunter 30 Gakin Gan'rul or Carendin Strahad Farsan in Ratchet

Warlocks in Forever can be Human or Gnome (Alliance) and Orc, Undead or Troll (Horde). Both demon summons need a Soul Shard.

Succubus – Alliance

  1. Devourer of Souls. From Gakin the Darkbinder in the basement of the Slaughtered Lamb, Mage Quarter, Stormwind. (Gnomes in Ironforge are sent to him first.) He sends you to Takar the Seer, whose camp is east of Camp Taurajo in the Barrens: /way 49.2 57.0 Takar the Seer.
  2. Heartswood. Takar sends you to the ruins of Ordil'Aran in north-west Ashenvale for the Heartswood at /way 31.4 31.5 (Ashenvale). Dark Strand Cultists guard the tree – clear them first, and click the roots of the tree, not the trunk. Take the Heartswood back to Gakin, not Takar.
  3. The Binding. Gakin gives you the Heartswood Core. Use it on the summoning circle in the room under the Slaughtered Lamb and kill the Summoned Succubus that appears. You learn Summon Succubus and get a Small Soul Pouch.

Succubus – Horde (Undercity, the short route)

  1. Devourer of Souls. From Carendin Halgar in the Magic Quarter of the Undercity, who sends you to Godrick Farsan nearby.
  2. Hearts of the Pure. Collect two hearts: one from Dalin Forgewright at the Greymane Wall in southern Silverpine Forest, the other from Comar Villard near the north entrance of the Wetlands. (One guide reports the NPC renamed "Corma Villard" in Forever.)
  3. The Binding. Use the Pure Hearts at the summoning circle next to Carendin and kill the Succubus. You learn Summon Succubus and get a Small Soul Pouch and 1,550 XP.

Succubus – Horde (Orgrimmar, the long route)

The Orgrimmar version is eight quests through the Barrens and Stonetalon:

  1. Devourer of Souls from Gan'rul Bloodeye in the Cleft of Shadow, then Blind Cazul.
  2. News of Dogran – Gazrog at the Crossroads, then Ken'zigla at Malaka'jin in southern Stonetalon.
  3. Ken'zigla's Draught – deliver it to Grunt Logmar at Camp Taurajo.
  4. Dogran's Captivity – find Grunt Dogran in the quilboar huts north of Camp Taurajo at /way 43.2 48.0 (The Barrens). An elite quilboar guards him; send your Voidwalker in first.
  5. Love's Gift, then The Binding: use Dogran's Pendant at the circle in Neeru Fireblade's tent in the Cleft of Shadow.

If you're near Undercity, the short route is faster.

Which Horde races can take which chain?

Guides disagree here. Some list the Orgrimmar Succubus and Felhunter quests for Orcs and Trolls alike; Conquest Capped says Forever's data only opens the Horde Felhunter quests to Orcs and Undead, while the Undercity Incubus chain is open to all three races. If your Troll isn't offered a quest by a trainer, try the other city's trainer – and report it in-game as a bug.

The Incubus option

Forever adds Summon Incubus as a separate level 20 demon with its own chain (Devourer of Souls → What Is Love? → The Binding for Alliance; Hearts of the Lovers for Undercity; Love Hurts → Wish You Were Here → The Binding for Orgrimmar). You can do it as well as, or instead of, the Succubus.

Felhunter (level 30, both factions)

  1. Seeking Strahad. Your Warlock trainer sends you to Strahad Farsan in his tower in Ratchet.
  2. Tome of the Cabal (part 1). Strahad sends Alliance to Krom Stoutarm in the Hall of Explorers library, Ironforge, and Horde to Jorah Annison in the Magic Quarter of the Undercity.
  3. Tome of the Cabal (part 2). Collect two pages:
    • Moldy Tome – from the murloc camp on the Hillsbrad coast south of Azurelode Mine, west of Southshore: /way 27.4 72.4 (Hillsbrad Foothills).
    • Tattered Manuscript – from a battered chest on the upper level of Splithoof Hold in Thousand Needles (enter around 44, 37 and take the right-hand path). Turn in to Krom or Jorah for the Reconstructed Tome.
  4. Tome of the Cabal (part 3). Take the tome and 3 Rods of Channeling to Strahad. The rods drop from Dragonmaw Bonewarders (casters) at the Angerfang Encampment in the Wetlands.
  5. The Binding. Strahad gives you the Tome of the Cabal. Read it on the summoning circle in his tower and kill the Summoned Felhunter. You learn Summon Felhunter and get a 16-slot Box of Souls and 2,450 XP.

Forever changes for pets

  • Pets gain 2 health per point of your Stamina (development notes, November 3).
  • Your current pet is stunned while you summon a new one.
  • Warlock spell costs were lowered to offset buying grimoires for pet abilities from demon trainers.

Tips

  • Have your Voidwalker out for every Binding fight. It tanks while you DoT.
  • Don't Enslave the Felhunter. It has to die for the quest. If it goes wrong, abandon and re-accept for a new tome.
  • Combine the Felhunter pages with other quests. Hillsbrad, Thousand Needles and the Wetlands are all level 25–35 zones.

Common mistakes

  • Turning the Heartswood in to Takar. It goes back to Gakin.
  • Farming rods from melee Dragonmaw. Only the casters drop them, and only while you're on the quest.
  • Summoning without a Soul Shard. Keep a few shards ready before the Binding.
