Finding the Right Portal

This page covers the Library alone. Full travel routes and loot tables for all four wings are on the Scarlet Monastery guide.

Inside the main building in northeast Tirisfal Glades, the Library is the open portal farthest to the right, so it needs no key. It is the wing to run before the two locked doors.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: Warcraft Tavern: Library, Location and Entrance; Zockify: Scarlet Monastery, Entrance and Scarlet Key; checked Nov 8, 2026.

Pick Your Group Level

Plan around the mid 30s. Loksey is level 34 and Doan level 37, so a group at the bottom of the bracket fights above its level all the way through.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: WCLBox: Library, Bosses and Loot; wowf.io: Library guide, Dungeon map; checked Nov 8, 2026.

Bosses and Role Jobs

Abilities come from wowf.io and role advice from Warcraft Tavern's Forever guide.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: wowf.io: Library guide, Dungeon map; Warcraft Tavern: Library, Bosses; checked Nov 8, 2026.

Houndmaster Loksey

Loksey is a level 34 elite human with three Scarlet Tracking Hounds. He uses Bloodlust and Battle Shout. Kill the dogs first or area them down together.

Tank: mark the hounds, hold threat on them and on Loksey, and save defensive cooldowns for Bloodlust. Healer: focus the tank and watch your mana in a long fight. Damage dealers: give the tank time before area damage, and kill the hounds first. A Shaman's Purge or Priest's Dispel Magic strips Bloodlust from Loksey and his hounds.

Arcanist Doan

Doan is a level 37 boss who uses Silence and Arcane Explosion. At half health he raises Arcane Bubble, polymorphs those near him and then detonates. Run far away as soon as you see the bubble.

Tank: hold threat, because he can easily kill damage dealers, and use cooldowns with care. Healer: expect Silence, and keep the party's health high. Damage dealers: leave the room on Detonation and hide next to the chamber walls. Warcraft Tavern says his abilities cannot be interrupted, standing 30 yards away avoids Polymorph, and mana drains can stop his casting.

Take the Scarlet Key

Open Doan's Strongbox behind him and loot The Scarlet Key. One key per group is enough, because an opened door stays open for everyone in the instance. A Rogue with Lockpicking 175 can open both doors without it.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: Zockify: Scarlet Monastery, How to Get the Scarlet Key and Good to Know; wowf.io: Library guide, stop 6; checked Nov 8, 2026. It opens the Armory and Cathedral.

Where Each Quest Book Sits

Four quest objectives are books along the route, and a fifth drops from Doan. Warcraft Tavern says the Mythology of the Titans book lies on the floor of a hallway beneath a window, and respawns a short time after someone loots it.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: wowf.io: Library guide, Before you go; Warcraft Tavern: Scarlet Monastery Quests, Mythology of the Titans and Past Due; Zockify: Scarlet Monastery, quest sections; checked Nov 8, 2026.
