How to Get the Soul Warding Rune

For the Soul Warding rune, you’ll be collecting echoes like you did for the Pain Suppression Rune.

Head to the Stratholme (Living) dungeon and kill Postmaster Malown to loot his three mailbox keys. Do not kill any other bosses yet. Find each of the mailboxes and loot them for a Stratholme Shadow Jar.

You’ll find three Pedestals near Cannon Master Willey on the far west side of the dungeon. They will give you riddles to solve which provide hints about the echoes you’ll need. Here are the riddles and the bosses they’ll point you to:

Riddle	Boss	Echo	Dungeon Wing
Holy furor purges sin and yet a shadow lurks within.	Balnazzar	Echo of Dathrohan	Living
A champion of wicked malice, hulking horrors guard his palace.	Baron Rivendare	Echo of Rivendare	Undead
A specter cursed to guard a tower. No solace gained from Wealth or power.	Baroness Anastari	Echo of Anastari	Undead
The smell of brimstone fills the room. This zealot greets you with a boom.	Cannon Master Willey	Echo of Willey	Living
The people looked to him to lead in their hour of greatest need.	Magistrate Barthilas	Echo of Barthilas	Undead
Among the dead this mortal dwells with acolytes and icy spells.	Malekithe Palad	Echo of Maleki	Undead
The ancient kingdom rediscovered. Trades one master for another.	Nerub’enkan	Echo of Nerub’enkan	Undead
Built from flesh, a sin of science hunted by Forsaken’s finest.	Ramstein the Gorger	Echo of Ramstein	Undead

Kill these bosses and use the Stratholme Shadow Jars you collected from the mailboxes to loot their echoes. Remember that you only have 3 jars, so you want to be sure you’re looting the correct 3 echoes.

Once you’ve collected all 3, you’ll need to use each of the echoes on the matching Pedestal (the one with the associated riddle) in the table above. If done correctly, the rune will appear in the middle of the room and you can loot it along with 2 Tarnished Undermine Reals, which your whole party will get.

This guide is wrong dont use it.
There is 8 bosses and you need to kill 3 out of em, the one you need to kill are according to random pillars.
so first check what pillars you have then you will know what bosses to kill for the echo.
or better follow the guide on wowhead as it is correct.

Thanks for the heads up, I’m correcting the info!

can a priest join the already cleared ID with the rune already spawned on t he ground and loot it or do they have to be in the group before it spawns?
