Overview

Inside Scarlet Monastery: Cathedral

The Cathedral is the heart of the Scarlet Crusade. Behind the locked door on the left of the monastery hall a corridor leads into the Chapel Gardens, a walled garden with a long pool and pack after pack of Centurions, Myrmidons, Defenders, Sorcerers and Wizards. At the top of the stairs stands the Crusader's Chapel. Scarlet Commander Mograine guards the altar, High Inquisitor Whitemane waits in the room behind it, and High Inquisitor Fairbanks hides in a secret side room.

Mograine and Whitemane are level 42, Fairbanks 40 and the trash 34–40, the highest of the monastery and far above the beta cap of 30. Nobody has reported a Cathedral run on the beta up to October 3, so the tactics are the Classic ones. Whitemane counts for the Experienced Spelunker achievement, and with her death the two big kill quests of the monastery are done.

Forever reworked the Cathedral loot. Fairbanks' three items are blue now, Mograine's Might and the Aegis of the Scarlet Commander were rebuilt, and Whitemane's Chapeau and the Triune Amulet are missing from the Forever data.

Level 38–46 is the range the dungeon is tuned for, not a minimum entry level. This is the Forever level range as it stands today. It can still shift before launch.

Forever vs Classic

What changed in Scarlet Monastery: Cathedral for WoW Forever

What is different from the Classic version you may know. Everything else works as it did in Classic.

The Cathedral loot was reworkedBeta data
Fairbanks' Inquisitor's Shawl, Branded Leather Bracers and Dusty Mail Boots went from green to blue and are no longer unique. Mograine's Might is a slower mace with Strength and Intellect in place of Spirit, the Aegis of the Scarlet Commander deals Holy damage when you block, and Whitemane's Hand of Righteousness hits for less and gained Stamina.
Small changes to the Crusaders' spellsBeta data
The Scarlet Wizards' Fire Shield burns more than half again as hard as in Classic, and the Abbots heal a little less. The Centurions' Battle Shout is weaker but lasts longer, and Mograine's Divine Shield has new numbers.
Less bonus XP from dungeon questsConfirmed
Since October 1 dungeon quests give half of their bonus experience. Into The Scarlet Monastery and In the Name of the Light end with Mograine and Whitemane here, so bring them along into the Cathedral.

Location

Where is Scarlet Monastery: Cathedral? Entrance and how to get there

The Cathedral is the locked door on the left side of the Scarlet Monastery hall, at about 85.3, 30.3. The monastery stands in the far north-east of Tirisfal Glades, and the hall is at the top of the stairs at about 85.1, 31.4. The Scarlet Key from the Library opens the door, and in Classic a rogue can also pick it.

Tap a place for its /way coordinates.Open full map

1Fly to Southshore in Hillsbrad Foothills, or at this level with a mount to Chillwind Camp in the Western Plaguelands.
2From Southshore go north past Dalaran and swim through Lordamere Lake into Tirisfal Glades. From Chillwind Camp ride west into Tirisfal past The Bulwark at about 84.3, 70.0.
3Follow the road to the dirt path north at about 66.0, 59.5 and up to the monastery.
4Climb the stairs into the hall and open the locked door on the left with The Scarlet Key.

1Fly to Undercity, or take the zeppelin from Orgrimmar to Tirisfal Glades.
2Leave Undercity by the main gate, follow the road east and turn north onto the dirt path at about 66.0, 59.5.

Group Finder

The Group Finder lists the whole monastery as one entry at level 30. The door lets you in from level 20, but the Cathedral bosses are level 40 and 42.

After a wipe

The spirit healer stands south-west of the monastery at about 79.0, 40.8. Run back up the hill and the stairs and through the left door. The garden is long, and in Classic its trash respawns, so a wipe in the chapel costs time.

Map and route

The route through the dungeon

3 areas, one path. Tap a stop to see what waits there.

Area 1 of 3

Entrance hall and corridor

A corridor behind the locked door with a few Myrmidons and Defenders. Clear it before the garden so nothing comes up behind you.

Mobs here

BetaSpot from beta reports, it can still change

Area 2 of 3

Chapel Gardens

The walled Chapel Gardens with the long pool. In Classic groups clear straight to the water first, then one side towards the stairs, then the top. The packs stand close together, so pull one at a time.

Mobs here

Area 3 of 3

Crusader's Chapel

The nave of the Crusader's Chapel with Champions, Abbots, Chaplains, Monks and Wizards. Pull them out through the doors into the garden instead of fighting inside, and clear every pack, side rooms by the altar included, before you touch Mograine. Fairbanks hides behind a secret door in the room to the right of the altar.

BossUndeadLevel 40

6 abilities3 loot items

Abilities

Curse of Blood · Increases the Physical damage taken by an enemy for 10 min.
Sleep · Puts nearby enemies to sleep for up to 10 sec. Any damage caused will awaken them.
Power Word: Shield · Wraps the caster in a shield that lasts up to 30 sec., absorbing a maximum of Physical or magical damage. While the shield holds, spells will not be interrupted by Physical attacks.
Heal · Calls upon Holy magic to heal an ally.
Fear · Strikes fear in an enemy, causing it to flee in terror for up to 8 sec. Only 1 target can be feared at a time.
Dispel Magic · Dispels magic on the target, removing 1 harmful spell from an ally or 1 beneficial spell from an enemy.

Tactics

In Classic Curse of Blood makes its target take more physical damage for 10 minutes. Remove it from the tank.
He fears one player and puts the players near him to sleep for up to 10 seconds. Damage wakes them up.
Interrupt his Heal and burn through Power Word: Shield. He also dispels your buffs.

Remove Curse of Blood from the tank.

Notable loot

2Boss 2 of 3

Scarlet Commander Mograine

BossHumanoidLevel 42

6 abilities4 loot items

Scarlet Commander Mograine guards the altar of the Crusader's Chapel. He fights alone first, and his death calls Whitemane.

Abilities

Divine Shield · Protects the paladin from all damage and spells for 12 sec, but reduces all damage you deal by 50%. Applies Forbearance for 1 min. Cannot be cast while Forbearance is active.
Hammer of Justice · Stuns the target for 5 sec.
Retribution Aura · Causes Holy damage to any creature that strikes a nearby party member. Players may only have one aura on them per paladin at any one time. The aura lasts until cancelled.
Lay on Hands
Crusader Strike · Inflicts damage to an enemy and increases the Holy damage it takes per Crusader Strike. Can be applied up to 5 times. Lasts 30 sec.
Forbearance

Tactics

Clear the whole chapel first, side rooms included. In Classic everything left joins the fight.
Hammer of Justice stuns for 5 seconds, and Crusader Strike stacks a debuff that makes the tank take more Holy damage the longer the fight runs.
Retribution Aura hurts every attacker a little. Divine Shield and Lay on Hands drag the fight out, so plan for a long first phase.

Tank

Face him away and keep a defensive cooldown for the stacking strikes.

Healer

Save mana, the second phase is harder.

Watch out for: A pack from a side room joining him.

Notable loot

3Boss 3 of 3Final boss

Tactics

She casts Holy Smite, shields herself with Power Word: Shield and heals.
In Classic she puts the whole group into Deep Sleep around half health and casts Scarlet Resurrection on Mograine, who stands up again at full health.

Interrupt her Heal so the second phase does not drag on.

Centurions, Myrmidons and Defenders
Centurions buff the pack with Battle Shout, Myrmidons enrage and throw Net-o-Matic, Defenders block and Shield Bash casters. The garden is full of these groups standing close to each other.
Champions and Abbots
Scarlet Champions hit hard with Holy Strike, Abbots heal with Heal and Renew and enrage at low health. Interrupt the Abbot's heals and kill him first, then the Champion.

Quests

Scarlet Monastery: Cathedral quests

Two quests end with the bosses of the Cathedral: Into The Scarlet Monastery for the Horde and In the Name of the Light for the Alliance. Both also need Loksey in the Library and Herod in the Armory, so most groups finish them here. Hearts of Zeal drop here too. The full monastery list, with the wing each quest needs, is on the Graveyard page.

Every Scarlet Monastery quest with the wing it needs

Known issue: Into The Scarlet Monastery has no rewards. The Horde quest from Varimathras still points at three Classic rewards that do not exist in Forever. Mograine and Whitemane still count for it, but what it gives besides Undercity reputation is unknown.

Look for the torch in the room right of the altar if you want Fairbanks.
Everyone should be in range of the healer before Whitemane reaches half health, the sleep comes without warning.

Known beta issues

Whitemane's Chapeau and the Triune Amulet are missing. Two of Whitemane's Classic drops, Whitemane's Chapeau and the Triune Amulet, do not exist in the Forever data, like Herod's Shoulder in the Armory. Until they turn up, Whitemane drops only the Hand of Righteousness.
