Scholomance: Full Dungeon Walkthrough
Scholomance is the Scourge school of necromancy beneath the ruins of Caer Darrow in the Western Plaguelands. This level 56–60 dungeon is famous for the summoned boss Kirtonos, waves of undead and the cunning finale Darkmaster Gandling, who teleports players by class.

Quick Summary
| Location | Western Plaguelands (Caer Darrow) |
| Level | 56–60 |
| Faction | Alliance and Horde |
| Players | 5 |
| Bosses | 8+ |
| Run time | 60–100 min |
How to Get There
The entrance is on Caer Darrow island in the lake of the Western Plaguelands; the door needs the Skeleton Key (a quest) or a rogue's lockpicking. Both factions arrive via Tirisfal and Hillsbrad. Elite abominations often patrol the island — enter carefully.
Key Boss Tactics
| Boss | Tip |
|---|---|
| Kirtonos the Herald | Summoned with the Blood of Innocents on the balcony. A flying vampire who strips a transform buff — interrupt and keep stuns. |
| Jandice Barov | An illusionist who clones herself. Kill the real one (she casts), don't waste damage on the copies. |
| Ras Frostwhisper | A lich, immune at first — made vulnerable only via quest (an amulet). He casts frost, so interrupts matter more than resistance. |
| Rattlegore | A huge bone golem. Very high HP and strong melee — a long fight, keep the tank up. |
| Doctor Krastinov | The Butcher with two pets. Split the adds, remove his enrage buff. |
| The Barov Twins | Lord and Lady Barov together: split the targets so they don't heal each other, focus one at a time. |
| Darkmaster Gandling | Final: teleports random players into side class rooms with elites. Clear the rooms fast and return to the boss — don't panic on the teleport. |
Useful Quests
Key chains: the Skeleton Key (dungeon access), the Shattered Hand and the amulet chain against Ras Frostwhisper, Argent Dawn undead quests, and class quests (for example a staff/book). Rewards are XP, reputation and gear. Quests are in the Plaguelands and with the Argent Dawn.
Valuable Loot
Key loot: the Necropile/Deathbone sets, wands and staves off Gandling and Ras, trinkets and rings off the bosses, plus Argent Dawn reputation. An excellent pre-raid foundation for casters and healers at 60.
Tips for the x5 Server
On x5 Scholomance is cleared around level 57–60. Get the Skeleton Key in advance, otherwise you need a rogue to lockpick. On Gandling stay disciplined: the class-room teleports scare newcomers, but the rooms clear quickly with two players.
