When you finish the Khaz Algar campaign, you’ll have the option to start The War Within campaign, which has five chapters in total. Since Rogue Agent quest is a part of the third chapter, you must complete the previous two chapters first. Then, start the third chapter and do the following six quests in order:

  • Gathering Intel
  • A Spider’s-Eye View
  • Creeping Through Corridors
  • Lab Access
  • Making of a Monster
  • The Queen’s Chains

The entire questline starts in Dornogal after you accept the Gathering Intel quest from Alleria Windrunner. All six quests are straightforward and easy to do, as they require you to talk with NPCs in Azj-Kahet, plant bombs, and fight some monsters. Once you do all of that, Xal’atath appears and mind-controls the NPC Y’tekhi. Talk to Lilian Voss next to you and start the Rogue Agent quest where you need to fight Y’Tekhi and free her.

When you finally start the Rogue Agent quest, you need to fight and subdue Y’tekhi in order to free her from Xal’atath’s control. Y’tekhi appears as a level 80 elite opponent, and she can teleport around and spawn regular mobs. After you defeat her, escort her to safety, and just hand in the quest to her, and you’re done.
