The Scarlet Monastery is a 5-man dungeon located in Tirisfal Glades. In Mists of Pandaria, It has been revamped to include a level 90 Heroic mode. It houses 3 encounters: Thalnos the Soulrender, Brother Korloff, and High Inquisitor Whitemane.

The Scarlet Monastery is a 5-man dungeon that replaces, in Mists of Pandaria, the Graveyard and Cathedral wings of the old Scarlet Monastery instance. It now also features a level 90 Heroic mode. The Scarlet Monastery is one of the strongholds of the Scarlet Crusade, a group of maddened zealots so dedicated to the removal of all undead that they commonly attack the living.

The dungeon has a linear layout during which you will progress through 2 sub-zones, which are reminiscent of the old Graveyard and Cathedral wings, until you reach High Inquisitor Whitemane. For level 90 players, only the Heroic mode of the dungeon will be of interest.

This guide will cover all of the three boss encounters, as well as the quests and achievements that are available in the dungeon.

During your encounter with Thalnos the Soulrender, there is one important thing to watch out for: Raise Fallen Crusader. This ability raises enemies from the dead to fight against you. Disposing of these enemies is not an issue, but right after you do, Thalnos will cast Summon Empowering Spirits. This ability creates a spirit that tries to take possession of the body of the nearest dead fallen crusader. If you do not kill the spirit before it does so, you will have to contend with an Empowered Zombie for the remainder of the fight. These enemies have too much health to be killed and they keep attacking their target (so they need to be tanked).

Other than that, try to interrupt Spirit Gale. This ability creates a spirit that travels quickly to Thalnos' current target. When the spirit reaches its target, it creates a Spirit Gale, which inflicts instant damage to players within 2 yards and then deals damage, every second, to players standing in it.

Healers need to be aware of Evict Soul, a powerful DoT/debuff that can be dispelled.

To complete Empowered Spiritualist, you need to defeat Thalnos the Soulrender while three Empowered Zombies are alive. At the moment, the achievement can be completed in the Normal version of the dungeon, which makes it trivial.

If you want to attempt it in Heroic mode, then you should try to get Thalnos low on life (between 5 and 10%) and then stop DPSing until you have 3 Empowered Zombies.

The fight against Brother Korloff is very straightforward. While Korloff will use a number of abilities, they can all be easily avoided.

• When he casts Blazing Fists, do not stand in front of him.
• When he casts Firestorm Kick, move away from his landing zone.
• When he is below 50% health, he leaves a trail of flames behind him when he moves, thanks to Scorched Earth. Do not stand in the flames.

Also, because of Rising Flame, he will deal increasing damage as the fight goes on. This is something that the healer and tank need to be aware of.

To complete Burning Man, you need to make Brother Korloff set six nearby training dummies on fire.

Only Blazing Fists and Firestorm Kick will set a training dummy on fire.

• Blazing Fists causes Korloff to attack an area in front of him, so have the tank always face the boss in such a way that he always has a training dummy in front of him.
• Firestorm Kick causes Korloff to target the location of a random party member, so have everyone position themselves on a non-lit training dummy.

Note that there is no time limit involved. When a dummy is lit, it will stay that way until the end of the fight.

The fight against High Inquisitor Whitemane is a two-phase fight. Before starting the fight, you should first clear the entire room.

• In Phase One, you have to defeat Commander Durand in a typical tank and spank fight.
• In Phase Two, Whitemane appears, resurrects Duran, and you get to fight them both at once.

As said above, you first have to defeat Commander Durand in a typical tank and spank fight. Durand has only two abilities: Flash of Steel and Dashing Strike.

• Flash of Steel causes Durand to perform a series of unavoidable attacks on random players.
• Dashing Strike causes Durand to dash to a location, damaging everyone in his path.

All you really need to do here is to avoid Dashing Strike.

Flash of Steel	Dashing Strike

After killing Durand, High Inquisitor Whitemane comes. You fight her for a few seconds, then she puts everyone to sleep and resurrects Commander Durand, who retains Flash of Steel and Dashing Strike.

The most important thing in this fight is to interrupt Whitemane when she casts Mass Resurrection. This spell resurrects all her fallen allies within 100 yards. If you fail to interrupt this cast, you will most likely wipe.

With that in mind, you should kill Durand first and then finish off Whitemane who also casts two other abilities: Heal and Power Word: Shield.

• Heal heals her target (herself or Durand) for a large amount. Interrupt it.
• Power Word: Shield places an absorption shield on herself or Durand. This effect can be dispelled or spell-stolen.

To complete And Stay Dead!, you need to let High Inquisitor Whitemane complete a cast of Mass Resurrection and resurrects all her allies, before defeating her.

When her allies are resurrected, you should use all your cooldowns to stay alive and burn them as fast as you can.

One trick that may work is that when you clear the trash in the chapel, you should kite them away from the chapel and kill them more than 100 yards (the maximum range of Mass Resurrection) from the location where you will fight Whitemane.
