Given what we see from the EGW: Extinction quest, the Shadow Leviathan, which has the powers that merit Jas, has a chance to be the next boss.

I don't see there being a boss or even a fifth front since the wars are over after Extinction. I do wonder if we will ever get to return to Erebus and explore. Supporter of

There is definitely going to be a new boss. It is already revealed in the last 2 Q&S Livestreams. The "fifth front" is just what players call it. The new boss and the associated content doesn't have to be really be the "fifth front" of EGW. I think it is not really a "front" but perhaps a new map with new content and a boss similar to Nex and Telos in GWD1 and GWD2.

As I was trying to reason out any decent explanation behind why Extinction didn't change the main world while something like Het II did, I came back to an initial thought that the issue could be from the PvM/EGWD team butting heads with the Quest team trying to alter necessary elements of the dungeon, but since the Cathedral area isn't part of any current boss, I started thinking what if it's for the 5th one?

Could it potentially a boss situated in this perpetual post-Het, pre-Extinction period, where Seren somehow transports your consciousness into the Eggs to subdue the children themselves and buy more time? That would explain why Seren and the Eggs aren't removed at least, since they'd both be needed for the boss. It's a sloppy concept and I don't like it, but post-Extinction is already so sloppy and something like this would at least give a poor excuse as to why it is that way.

Seren is adamant that the wild shadow breach reaching freneskaes elder halls was something to do with zaros. The lore seems sloppy in extinction. Past lore suggested the breach was close to freneskae and seren speaks of it like she has first hand experience of witnessing zaros interact with it. Zaros left mah and freneskae, he went in search of other worlds whilst seren with her mothering nature stayed on freneskae to be with her mom who needed her. There does not seem an opportunity in time where zaros and seren were together, far enough from freneskae for seren to recollect zaros tampering with the shadow breach. It couldn’t have been far from freneskae. Mah never let her toys go far and seren stayed when zaros managed to leave.

We can survive and last in Erebus. Therefore we should be able to enter the codex and see that version of Erebus. Seren claims that zaros thought that was safer than the wild breach. If it is then the world guardian should manage to fare it even better

Using gielinors shadow breach should answer many questions, guild master Tony and char for one. There is potential the boss is them or even Jas

There is a reason this breach was found and sealed in the codex. Maybe cus it’s the closest link to VOS. Is vos xau-tak? There are so many unanswered questions and almost all link to gielinors shadow breach

The newly dead world of Iaia and the carcasses of wen bik and ful are important. Also the ability to survive in the presence of the babies. There is one skill that springs to mind, 1 option for new content able to be excelled to 120 status

Divination

The capability to learn about the elders on Iaia through divination siphoning and the amount of content that could be achieved from this turn of events is staggering
