Scarlet Halls MOP Classic Dungeon Guide – Walkthrough & Loot

Formerly the Armory and Library wings of the Scarlet Monastery, Scarlet Halls is revamped for level 90 Heroic players in MoP Classic, offering a brutal yet rewarding dungeon experience with three bosses, key loot, quests, and achievements.

Dungeon Layout & Trash Strategy

Scarlet Halls is linear, passing through zones like Training Grounds, Hall of Champions, and Athenaeum.

• Trash: Scarlet crusaders, archer volleys, and dogs.

• Tanks pull in groups, avoid line-of-sight damage.

• DPS focus adds preemptively and support tank positioning.

• Extras: Meat buckets can distract dogs—use to minimize add pressure.
  

Boss 1 – Houndmaster Braun

• Gauntlet Event: Dodge archer fire behind shields in the Training Grounds.

• Dogs spawn at intervals: Every 10% health drop triggers new waves. Tanks/healers must manage pressure.
