Overview
Four independently entered wings: Graveyard (roughly 28–34), Library (32–38), Armory (35–42), and Cathedral (38–45). Choose wings for the group's level rather than treating the entire monastery as a single clear.
How to get there
Follow the northeastern road in Tirisfal Glades to the monastery. Four portals in the entrance hall lead to Graveyard, Library, Armory, and Cathedral.
