Clear Order
1. Upper halls — mini-bosses Jandice Barov and Doctor Theolen Krastinov. Both drop Blood of Innocents, the reagent to summon Kirtonos. 2. Rattlegore — a huge bone golem below. Loot the Viewing Room Key from his corpse — you can't reach Ras Frostwhisper without it. 3. The Barov twins — Lord Alexei Barov and Lady Illucia Barov near the family crypt. 4. Ras Frostwhisper — the lich in the Viewing Room; use the quest item Dawn's Gambit to weaken him. 5. Darkmaster Gandling — the headmaster, final boss in the basement.
Optional Bosses
- Kirtonos the Herald — summoned manually with Blood of Innocents; drops one of the best pre-raid swords.
- Marduk Blackpool and Vectus — lab mini-bosses near Krastinov, tied to Argent Dawn quests.
- Instructor Malicia, Lorekeeper Polkelt, The Ravenian — guardian mini-bosses; each can drop the rare Ancient Bone Bow.
Notable Quests
- The Blood of Innocents — summon and kill Kirtonos the Herald.
- Dawn's Gambit — weaken Ras Frostwhisper for the Argent Dawn (see Argent Dawn).
- The Barov Family — a chain with strong rewards (Alliance and Horde).
- Krastinov the Butcher / The Deadly Blades — quests around Doctor Krastinov.
Bosses in Detail
Tips for x5
- Most mobs are undead: a priest with Shackle Undead and a paladin with Exorcism make the run far easier.
- On x5 elites die fast, but pull carefully — an accidental double pull in tight halls is lethal.
- Plan multiple runs for Tier 0 and BiS loot — see the dungeon farming guide.

About 12 named bosses: mandatory ones (Rattlegore, Ras Frostwhisper, Gandling), optional mini-bosses (Jandice, Krastinov, Malicia, Polkelt, The Ravenian, the Barov twins), and the summoned Kirtonos the Herald.
What order do you kill Scholomance bosses?
Standard route: upper-floor mini-bosses (Jandice, Krastinov) → Rattlegore (drops the Viewing Room Key) → the Barov twins → Ras Frostwhisper → Darkmaster Gandling in the basement.
Do you need a key for Scholomance in 1.12?
No. Patch 1.10 removed the Skeleton Key requirement — on a 1.12.1 server the door is open. Inside, you need the Viewing Room Key from Rattlegore to reach Ras Frostwhisper.
