Memory of Scholomance – Achievement Guide

Memory of Scholomance is a secret achievement unlocked by performing a ritual with Eva's Journal. Completing the achievement grants access to the original Scholomance dungeon, which was removed in the Mists of Pandaria pre-expansion patch.

Prerequisites

Auction House Purchase List

Before starting this secret, purchase 5 Essence of Undeath and 3 Dark Rune from the Auction House. This will save you time by avoiding multiple runs back and forth.

Krastinov's Bag of Horrors

For this secret you will also need Krastinov's Bag of Horrors, which drops from the rare spawn Doctor Theolen Krastinov in Heroic Scholomance. Upon defeating Rattlegore, there is a chance Doctor Theolen Krastinov will spawn and yell "The doctor is in!".

If you don't have Krastinov's Bag of Horrors, you can bring another player that has the toy to bypass this requirement.

Scholomance Dungeon

Fully clear Scholomance and then go to the Hall of the Damned, the upper floor behind Darkmaster Gandling. Use Krastinov's Bag of Horrors and look for a pile of bones with a bright femur at the end of the room. Approach it, and Eva Sarkhoff's ghost will appear!

Eva Sarkhoff says: No, NO! Stay away!

Remove the buff Surgical Alterations to be able to interact with her.

Eva Sarkhoff says: Wait... You aren't the Butcher? Has the cycle of torment finally come to an end?
Eva Sarkhoff says: Come, please speak with me.

Speak with Eva to get the Inert Spectral Essence and then loot Eva's Femur from the pile of bones on the ground.

Spoiler

Time and time again I am forced to relive the memory of the Butcher. I do not understand why you appeared in his visage, but I am grateful that the cycle has broken; even if just this once.

I fear our time is short, so I must be brief. I stashed my journal away where I thought it would never be found. If there is even the slightest chance that it has not been destroyed, it is paramount that you locate it.

> What is written in your journal?

I began to keep detailed records of what had happened here. Some of the atrocities were far, far worse than the words I chose to describe them. The world needs to know, so nothing like it ever happens again.

And yet, there is still so much left unsaid, so much I couldn't bear to write...

[Eva hesitates for a moment before regaining her composure.]

Find my journal, [name]; find it and gather five candles of Caer Darrow. Bring them and something else that once belonged to me to a quiet place upstairs. Set up a site to prepare for a ritual, the rest will come to you naturally if you allow it.

> Understood, I will begin searching for the reagents.

One last thing.

Caer Darrow is not as abandoned as it may seem at first glance. I suspect you may need to negotiate with the dead to acquire the candles. Take this, [name]. It is a piece of our own essence. It will allow you to communicate with the other lost souls.

Please hurry.

> Thank you, Eva.

Spectral Essence

Combine the Inert Spectral Essence with 5 Essence of Undeath and 3 Dark Rune to create the trinket Spectral Essence.

If your character has completed the quest Kirtonos the Herald before the Cataclysm world revamp, you will receive the Spectral Essence trinket directly from Eva. Otherwise, check your bank in case you have one already.

Note: If you delete the trinket by mistake, you can get a new one by speaking with Eva Sarkhoff outside Scholomance.

Eva's Journal

Head over to the Viewing Room (the previous room with Professor Slate and Bored Students) and loot Eva's Journal from behind a bookshelf.

Candles

For the next step you will have to find 5 items throughout Western and Eastern Plaguelands and trade them for five candles with the ghost npcs of Caer Darrow. You will have to equip the trinket Spectral Essence in order to see and interact with the ghosts.
