Are you eager to explore the depths of Old Scholomance in WoW Dragonflight? The classic dungeon may have returned, but gaining entry is no easy feat. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the secret steps you need to take to unlock Old Scholomance and collect the exclusive, previously unobtainable loot that lies within.
How to Unlock Old Scholomance in WoW Dragonflight?
Unlocking Old Scholomance can take some time, but don’t worry; we have your back. Follow this step-by-step guide to easily make your way to Old Scholomance in WoW Dragonflight and collect the loot:
Step 1: Gather the necessary materials
Before beginning your journey to Old Scholomance, you must gather several items. You can purchase three Dark Runes and five Essence of Death from the Auction House or farm them from Cult of the Damned members in Scholomance and the Eastern Plaguelands. Once you’ve collected these materials, you can move on to the next step.
Step 2: Find Scholomance
Scholomance is located in the Western Plaguelands in the Eastern Kingdoms, marked clearly in the bottom right of the map. The exact coordinates to the entrance are 69.72, 73.28. Once you’ve arrived at Scholomance, enter the building and open the door on your immediate left to find the dungeon entrance.
Step 3: Obtain Krastinov’s Bag of Horrors

To begin the secret sequence to unlock Old Scholomance, you (or someone in your party) will need the Krastinov’s Bag of Horrors Toy. You can get this by defeating Doctor Theolen Krastinov, a Rare Elite, in modern Scholomance on Heroic difficulty.
- Set your Dungeon Difficulty to Heroic and jump into the foreboding purple portal.
- One-shot your way through the Dungeon until you’ve defeated Rattlegore.
- If you’re lucky, you’ll hear the voice line “The doctor is in!” indicating that Doctor Theolen Krastinov is waiting for you in the next room.
- Bop him on the head and loot him to receive Krastinov’s Bag of Horrors.
Step 4: Find Eva Sarkhoff and get the Spectral Essence Trinket
With Krastinov’s Bag of Horrors in hand, complete a Dungeon run of Scholomance and enter the top middle room in the Headmaster’s Study, where you fight Darkmaster Gandling (the final boss).
- In this new room, the Hall of the Damned, lies a pile of bones in the top left, in front of the furthest coffer.
- Use Krastinov’s Bag of Horrors to summon the ghost of Eva Sarkhoff. Deactivate the Toy by right-clicking the icon in the top right of the screen, and you can talk to her.
- You will receive the Inert Spectral Essence after speaking to her. Don’t forget to pick up Eva’s Femur from her pile of bones, as you’ll need it later.
Step 5: Get Eva’s Journal

Return to The Viewing Room, the classroom area just before Darkmaster Gandling’s boss room. On the first bookshelf to the right of the door, hover over the third shelf down to find Eva’s Journal.
Step 6: Collect Candle Trade Items
With Eva’s Femur and Journal acquired, it’s time to find five items in both Plaguelands to trade for the candles needed to perform the ritual.
Step 7: Collect the Ritual Candles
Once you have all five items, it’s time to trade them with the citizens of Caer Darrow. Ensure you have the Spectral Essence Trinket equipped to see the ghosts. The five candles are:
- Imported Candle: To obtain the Imported Candle, go to the house next to Caer Darrow’s dock and exchange The Road Ahead painting with Artist Renfray
- Tobacco-Filled Candle: For the Tobacco-Filled Candle, go to the end of Caer Darrow’s dock and exchange the Undelivered Shipment of Smokes with Rory
- Ghost-Warding Candle: Sammy will give you the Ghost-Warding Candle in exchange for the Trampled Doll by Caer Darrow’s fountain
- Authentic Andorhal Candle: To obtain the Authentic Andorhal Candle, exchange The Deed to Andorhal with Magistrate Marduke, who is standing by the wagon near Scholomance’s building.
- Stinky Candle: Finally, outside the shed on the second-highest level of Caer Darrow, Joseph Dirte will exchange Caer Darrow Fountain Water for the Stinky Candle.
Step 8: Perform the Ritual

With Eva’s Femur, Journal, and all five candles in your possession, you can now perform the ritual. Walk into Scholomance’s building (69.80, 73.64) and take an immediate right. Enter the open room filled with bones and right-click Eva’s Journal to begin the ritual.
Step 9: Enter Old Scholomance
Once the ritual is complete, you will earn the Memory of Scholomance Achievement, and Eva’s Enchanted Journal will appear before you. From now on, you can enter Old Scholomance on any of your characters by interacting with the book and selecting “Read the grim history of Scholomance.”
