Scarlet Monastery - Cathedral Location

Scarlet Monastery is located in the far northeast of Tirisfal Glades.

How To Get To Scarlet Monastery: Cathedral in WoW Forever

Getting to Scarlet Monastery is very easy for Horde, but can be quite challenging for Alliance.

The easiest way to get to Scarlet Monastery as Alliance is to venture north from Hillsbrad Foothills or Alterac Mountains, making sure to steer clear of the Undercity. Alternatively, you could travel west from the Western Plaguelands, but it's unlikely you will have flight paths to this zone at the level range for Scarlet Monastery.

Follow these steps and skip step 1 if you have Dalaran unlocked:

  1. Travel north from Southshore, Hillsbrad Foothills until you reach Dalaran.
  2. Skirt around the outside of Dalaran until you reach Lordamere Lake.
  3. Swim/make your way around Lordamere lake until you reach the border of Silverpine Forest and Tirisfal Glades, and exit the water.
  4. Make your way around Undercity using the road next to it.
  5. Travel up through Tirisfal Glades to Scarlet Monastery in the north-east.
  6. Enter the 2nd portal from the left inside the Monastery for Cathedral! This is behind a locked door, and requires The Scarlet Key from the Library wing.

The easiest way to get to Scarlet Monastery as Horde is to first make your way to the Undercity. For most players this will be via a zeppelin from Orgrimmar.

Once there, simply exit the Undercity or Zeppelin terminal and head to the Scarlet Monastery in north-east Tirisfal Glades.

Scarlet Monastery - Cathedral Dungeon Map

Scarlet Monastery - Cathedral Important Trash

Scarlet Monastery: Cathedral is a pretty short and simple dungeon so there's not a tonne of mobs you need to worry about, however we have listed a few below.

Fleeing Mobs: Almost all enemies in Scarlet Monastery flee when at low HP. Stun or kill them quickly to ensure they don't pull other packs.

Scarlet Wizard

  • These use Arcane Explosion, dealing high party-wide damage to anyone in range. Ranged should stay far away, and this should be killed ASAP!
  • Additionally, they cast Fire Shield, doing some passive damage to attackers. Heal through this.

Scarlet Abbot

  • Casts Heal, healing a low health enemy within range. Kick this!
  • They also cast Renew, which is a HoT that can be used on themselves or other enemies. This is instant, so just kill them before they cast too many times.

Scarlet Centurion

  • Buffs the melee attack power of nearby enemies with Battle Shout. These should be priority over basic melee enemies, but make sure to kill healers first.

Scarlet Myrmidon

  • These hit very hard, and use Enrage at low health (~30%), increasing attack power and attack speed, making it a very dangerous enemy for your tank. This should be high priority, especially at low health!

Scarlet Champion

  • Basic melee enemies that use Holy Strike, dealing high damage. Pulling too many of these in one pack can be very dangerous for your tank!

Scarlet Monastery - Cathedral Bosses

Scarlet Monastery: Cathedral contains three bosses, although two of them are fought simultaneously.

Scarlet Commander Mograine

Important: We HIGHLY recommend you kill every trash pack in the church before pulling Mograine and Whitemane! Anything inside that isn't pulled will be aggro'd alongside the boss, regardless of distance.

Scarlet Commander Mograine and High Inquisitor Whitemane make up the final boss of Scarlet Monastery. For the first phase, you'll be fighting Mograine alone, and in the third phase, you'll be fighting him alongside Whitemane.

Mograine has the toolkit of a paladin. You should pay attention if your tank is targeted by Hammer of Justice, as they won't be able to sustain themselves or keep uptime during this long stun.

Divine Shield makes Mograine completely immune to damage for 10 seconds (although reduces his outgoing damage by 50%). Don't waste resources trying to damage him when this is up!

Aside from this, he does passive damage to people attacking him, and occasionally buffs the damage he does with his auto-attacks for a short time. Just heal through these, and kill him!

High Inquisitor Whitemane

High Inquisitor Whitemane spawns after you kill Scarlet Commander Mograine, and uses Holy Smite as her main ability. This hurts a surprising amount, so keep your tank up!

Power Word: Shield will grant her an absorb shield, just damage her through this.

When she gets to low health, Whitemane will send the entire party to sleep for 10 seconds. This is unbreakable, and during this time she will resurrect Mograine, and heal them both to full health. This initiates the third phase of the fight, where you have to fight both at once!

We recommend focusing Whitemane down first in the last phase of the fight, then killing Mograine again.

High Inquisitor Fairbanks

High Inquisitor Fairbanks is the other encounter in the Cathedral, and is far easier than the main bosses.

Fairbanks uses Heal, which is interruptible, so kick this and he should go down easily.

He'll also use Curse of Blood, which is removable by any curse dispel, Power Word: Shield which you should simply burn through, and can Sleep party members.

Aside from this, just tank-and-spank him down.
