Karazhan - the Tower of Medivh
Karazhan - the Tower of Medivh

* The instance is huge, scripted, and non-winged, containing twelve boss encounters, with 22 different NPCs.
* The instance requires that each member possess [The Master's Key], obtained through an attunement process.
* The following bosses and encounters must be defeated in order: Moroes, the Opera Event, The Curator and the Chess Event. All other bosses are optional.

Shortcuts

* Killing the Shade of Aran makes a teleport to his room available from Berthold the Doorman.
* Karazhan has a side entrance. When climbing the tower to the right of the main entrance (across the small creek), the stairs lead to a bridge and to a door which unlocks after the Opera Event has been cleared. Some trash can be bypassed by using the side entrance right after the Opera Event.
* Medivh's staff - [Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian] can be used to teleport players to the front gate of Karazhan.

[edit] Vendors and Repair

* Koren <The Blacksmith>, next to Attumen the Huntsman, will repair gear for players who are Honored with Violet Eye. He also sells some epic Blacksmithing recipes (frost resistance gear). Near him is Calliard who wanders around, babbling how evil Midnight and her owner are.
* Outside of the Gamesman's Hall (after the Chess Event) is Ythyar, a reagent and The Consortium rep reward vendor who can also repair gear.

Trivia

* Before the Scullery there is Bennett, the Sergeant of Arms. Near him there is a locked door that leads to the "Sergeant's Quarter" but the use of it is unknown.
* In the Banquet Hall there is a spectral party where undead nobles from Darkshire are waiting for Medivh. Among them there is Ebonlocke that is very disappointed about the party.
* There was some discussion as to who is the "final boss" of Karazhan. Based on the quest material, and Serpentshrine Cavern attunement quest item (Blazing Signet), progression wise, Nightbane would be the "final boss." Loot wise (Prince drops iLevel 125 items; Nightbane drops iLevel 115 items), Prince Malchezaar would be the "final boss." Difficulty wise, the "tuning" of Nightbane has definitely placed it on par with Prince Malchezaar. It's a free call for everybody who's the final boss.

Since patch 2.3 Prince Malchezzar drops three [Badges of Justice] while Nightbane only drops two. This might be a hint from Blizzard that Prince is the last boss.

* In Netherspace, there are several easter eggs like a Skeletal Gryphon and a sleeping Nightbane.
