Scarlet Monastery Dungeon Guide

This dungeon is available on all 4 dungeon difficulties, starting at level 27 on normal difficulty. Scarlet Monastery is one of the three revamped dungeons added in during Mists of Pandaria. Replacing the previous Scarlet Monastery: Graveyard and Cathedral wings of the original dungeons, this classic dungeon allows players to rediscover the crimson halls of the Scarlet Crusade.

Thalnos the Soulrender returns to the dungeon, this time bolstering a wide arsenal of Necromancy spells, allowing him to raise the dead to his aid. He will often use Raise Fallen Crusader, raising multiple Scarlet Crusaders to his side, which should be quickly killed off before they can overwhelm the party. After the Crusaders have been dealt with, Thalnos the Soulrender will summon a spirit, attempting to re-raise the Crusaders once again. If the summoned spirit reaches a Fallen Crusaders body it will transform into a Empowered Zombie, which deals devastating damage and has a very large health pool, preventing it from being a realistic target. Be ready for Thalnos the Soulrender to use Summon Empowering Spirits and quickly kill the summoned spirit to prevent it from becoming a Empowered Zombie.

With all of the adds now under control, Thalnos the Soulrender himself becomes much easier. Be quick to dispel the Evict Soul debuff and try to interrupt the Spirit Gale casts as often as possible.

Brother Korloff is a Monk that deals heavy Fire AoE damage, all of which can be avoided. Brother Korloff gains a stack of Rising Flame every 5 seconds, increasing his Fire damage dealt by 10% per stack. This makes it better to save defensive cooldowns later on into the fight if possible.

Quick movement allows players to entirely avoid all damage on this fight. Firestorm Kick will show a orange circle (see pic above) where it will land, allowing players to move out of the area. Blazing Fists deals high Fire damage to all enemies in front of Brother Korloff. Be mindful of where Brother Korloff is facing always as he will frequently be moving around. Upon reaching 50% health Brother Korloff will begin to use Scorched Earth, leaving a large trail of fire behind when he moves.

High Inquisitor Whitemane also sees a return in this new, two-phase encounter. As with the previous version of this dungeon, you must clear the entire cathedral first before engaging in combat. In phase one players will face-off against Commander Durand, with High Inquisitor Whitemane joining in the fight to resurrect him once he has been slain.

Commander Durand only has one main ability to worry about, Dashing Strike, which charges a random area and deals damage to all enemies caught in the path. Look for the indicated charge direction and quickly move out of the way whilst you finish him off. Once Commander Durand has died, High Inquisitor Whitemane will join the fight by putting everyone to sleep and resurrecting Commander Durand, who will continue using the same abilities.

High Inquisitor Whitemane's main threat is Mass Resurrection, which will attempt to resurrect all dead Crusaders within 100 yards. If this cast goes off you most likely will wipe, so be sure to always interrupt it. She will periodically use Power Word: Shield, which should be quickly dispelled.
