1. Introduction↑top

The Scarlet Halls is a 5-man dungeon that replaces, in Mists of Pandaria,the Armory and Library wings of the old Scarlet Monastery instance. It now alsofeatures a level 90 Heroic mode. The Scarlet Monastery is one of the strongholdsof the Scarlet Crusade,a group of maddened zealots so dedicated to the removal of all undead thatthey commonly attack the living.

The dungeon has a linear layout during which you will descend through2 sub-zones, which are reminiscent of the old Armory and Library wings,until you reach Flameweaver Koegler. For level 90 players, only the Heroicmode of the dungeon will be of interest.

3. Quests↑top

4. Trash Mobs and Gauntlet Event↑top

Throughout the instance, you will find buckets of meat that you can click.Doing so grants you a new button in the middle of your screen (see screenshotsbelow). You can use this button to target where you want to throw the meatyou have just picked up. We advise you to throw the meat on Scarlet Crusademembers who are accompanied by dogs. This will cause the dogs to rebel againsttheir masters and kill them.

Before reaching Houndmaster Braun, you will have to face a GauntletEvent. At the entrance of the first courtyard, you will notice practice targetsthat you can interact with. By click them, you can use them as a shield toprotect yourself and party members standing directly behind you fromthe arrows that the Scarlet Crusade archers will fire. At some point,you will also have to avoid fire patches on the ground. Up to 3 party memberscan use the practice targets as shield.

5. Houndmaster Braun↑top

The fight against Houndmaster Braun is very straighforward.Positioning is important to properly deal with Piercing Throw and Death Blossom.

• Piercing Throw often targets random party players, dealingdamage to the targeted player, but also to any players located between the bossand the targeted player. Make sure that no one is standing between you andthe boss.
• Death Blossom causes Braun to leap to a random player and dealdamage to that player and everyone within 5 yards. The spell effect is similarto that of Fan of Knives, the Rogue ability. To miminise the damagefrom Death Blossom, spread out 5 yards.

Bloody Mess is a damaging, stacking debuff applied to players who arehit by Death Blossom or Piercing Throw. This makespositioning all the more important, since proper positioning will reduce thenumber of players hit by Death Blossom and Piercing Throw, therefore increasingthe chances that the debuff will drop before being reapplied.

At 90%, 80%, 70%, and 60%, Braun summons hounds to help him. They needto be tanked and are rather easy to dispose of.

At 50% health, he enters Bloody Rage, making him attack 50% fasterand deal 25% more damage. The tank and the healer need to pay specialattention to this second half of the fight as the tank damage will be higher.

When Braun is nearing death, his dogs, attracted by the smell of blood, willturn against him and finish your job.

5.1. Achievement: Humane Society

Completing Humane Society is very straightforward. Simply burn downHoundmaster Braun without killing any of the hounds that he summons.

You may want to consider using a second tank to keep the hounds away fromthe party, so that they do not get killed by collateral damage on Braun.

6. Armsmaster Harlan↑top

The fight against Armsmaster Harlan presents you with one main ability, Blades of Light, that can quickly kill you if you fail to react properly.

Blades of Light causes Harlan to travel around the room, spinningrapidly with his axe. While spinning, he deals heavy damage to all targetswithin 6 yards and then carries them around the room with him (still dealingdamage to them). During Blades of Light, Harlan always travels along the samepath (see screenshot on the left), but not always in the same direction. Theeasiest way to deal with Blades of Light is to be on the stairs when it startsand jump down when Harlan comes towards you.

Blades of Light is always cast right after Harlan performs Heroic Leap, so there is no reason for Blades of Light tosurprise you. Heroic Leap causes him to leap to the center of his room,dealing heavy Physical damage to all enemies within 8 yards. As a rule ofthumb, avoid being in the middle of the room.

Scarlet Defenders will often join Harlan in his fight against you. Youshould ignore these adds, as they will die every time Harlan uses Blades of Light.

Also, do not stand in front of Harlan, as he possesses a frontal damagingattack: Dragon's Reach.

Finally, healers should be aware of Berserker Rage, which Harlan stackson himself every 3 seconds, and that causes him to deal more damage andattack faster. Dispelling this effect removes 10 stacks.

6.1. Achievement: Mosh pit

To complete Mosh Pit, you need to get 4 Scarlet Defendersand 4 players caught up in the same execution of Armsmaster Harlan's Blades of Light.

Usually, when Scarlet Defenders spawn, they are almost immediately sucked inHarlan's Blades of Light. Your tank needs to taunt the first pair of Defendersand make them avoid the Blades of Light. For the next Blades of Light, you willhave 4 Scarlet Defenders up, and the tank should make sure they get caught up.Then, four of the players (everyone save the healer, if possible) shouldwillingly cross Harlan's path during Blades of Light. The healer has to bevery careful and keep everyone alive.

It is better to jump into Blades of Light towards the end of it,as you receive less damage.

Alternatively, you can have the tank taunt every pair of Defenders untilyou have gathered 8 of them. Then, let them be sucked in Blades of Light.

7. Flameweaver Koegler↑top

The fight against Flameweaver Koegler is all about avoiding Greater Dragon's Breath, a frontal attack, and Book Burner,which creates damaging Fire zones.

• Greater Dragon's Breath deals heavy Fire damage in front of Koegler,who slowly rotates on himself during the cast. Being hit by Greater Dragon'sBreath also causes you to become disorientated for 5 seconds. Therefore,you need to keep moving around Koegler to avoid being hit by the breath.
• Book Burner is used a few times during the encounter and setsa book shelf aflame, creating a large damaging fiery zone around the shelf.Players can intercept the missile that Keogler throws to light the bookshelf by standing in its path.

Other than avoiding these two abilities, you should interrupt his casts of Fireball Volley and Pyroblast whenever possible. Notethat he will sometimes use Quickened Mind, which makes his next three spellswith a cast time be almost instant, preventing you from interrupting them.
