The Burning Crusade Anniversary is approaching, and with it, the necessity to get Karazhan attunement. The dark corridors of this raid hide 11 bosses that you will have to fight. To get into the castle, you need the key of its owner — the Master’s Key. In this guide, we will tell you how to attune to Karazhan, which dungeons to complete for the attunement, and how to get the Master’s Key from Khadgar.
4.9What is Karazhan Attunement?
In the Burning Crusade Anniversary, Karazhan attunement is a list of mandatory actions that you need to complete in order to get into the Karazhan raid. Typically, this is a questline that can be completed in a group of five people, but for the Karazhan, things are different.
Karazhan Attunement requires the Master Key. You will receive the Master Key from Khadgar when you collect 3 Key Fragments:
Additionally, you need to take part in the Archmage Alturus quests. Further, we explain each step in detail, but if you don’t want to participate in a lengthy questline and collect quest items, we are ready to help you get Karazhan Attunement much faster and easier.
TBC Anniversary Karazhan Attunement is closely related to attunements to other raids and dungeons. You can read more about it in our How to Get The Burning Crusade Attunements guide.
Archmage Alturus Quests
Karazhan Location
Alterac Mountains in Hillsbrad Foothills
Khadgar in Shattrath City
To complete the questline for Karazhan attunement in The Burning Crusade Anniversary, your character must be level 68+. The first quests are pretty simple, so you can complete them alone.
- First of all you should travel to Deadwind Pass.
- Near Karazhan Castle, you will find Archmage Alturus (Apprentice Tasserel in Shattrath can also direct you to Archmage Alturus). Speak to him and accept the quests Arcane Disturbances and Restless Activity.
- Complete quests by killing ghosts and using the crystal in the nearby area. When the work is done, return to Alturus.
- Accept the next quest Contact from Dalaran and travel to Alterac Mountains. Here you should speak to Archmage Cedric, located on the north side of Dalaran, and accept the quest Khadgar.
- Khadgar is in the centre of Shattrath City in Outland. He looks like an old man, but don’t be surprised, it’s him. Accept the quest Entry Into Karazhan and finish the introducing questline.
First Key Fragment
The first step to obtain First Key Fragment in The Burning Crusade Anniversary is to pick up the Entry Into Karazhan quest. You will need a group of five people to complete the quest, and you also might need Dungeon Attunement, if you don’t have it yet.
Complete the Shadow Labyrinth dungeon and pick up the key near the final boss. To get into the Shadow Labyrinth dungeon you need a key from a nearby dungeon — Sethekk Halls. Simply kill the end boss Talon King Ikiss and loot the key from the wooden chest behind him.
✏️ You can ignore Sethekk Halls key if your party has a rogue with 350 Lock Picking.
After defeating the last boss Murmur, open the Arcane Container. This will spawn the First Fragment Guardian, which, upon being killed, will drop the First Key Fragment. After this, return to Khadgar in Shattrath City and accept the quest The Second and Third Fragments.
Second Key Fragment
Zangarmarsh’s Coilfang Reservoir
Underwater Path to the Cavern
Second Key Fragment Location
To get the Second Key Fragment for Karazhan attunement in The Burning Crusade Anniversary, we will head to the The Steamvault dungeon. The entrance to the dungeon is hidden under water, so you will need to dive to get to the required location.
- Travel to the Outland and fly to Zangarmarsh’s Coilfang Reservoir. In the middle of the lake, find a large structure and dive into its middle.
- You will find a summoning stone and The Steamvault dungeon in one of the cavern’s coridors.
- There is a lake next to the first boss, Hydromancer Thespia. At the bottom of the lake, you will find a second Arcane Container. Opening this container will spawn the Second Fragment Guardian, who will drop the Second Key Fragment.
In fact, you can complete The Steamvault dungeon with the help of our pro players, who will quickly eliminate all enemies and even get you the Second Key Fragment.
Third Key Fragment
The Arcatraz Location
The Arcatraz Entrance
Third Key Fragment Location
The Third Key Fragment leads to The Arcatraz dungeon in TBC Anniversary. To get into The Arcatraz dungeon you need the Key to the Arcatraz and flying mount. Unfortunately, you can’t cheat and use the Warlock’s teleporter, as it doesn’t work here.
With the Key to the Arcatraz, go into The Arcatraz dungeon and fight with the first boss, Zereketh the Unbound. If you struggle with completing The Arcatraz, our pro players can help you out. The last Arcane Container is located here, in the right corner of the room of voidwalkers.
Open the Arcane Container, defeat Third Fragment Guardian and loot the Third Key Fragment. After that, return to Khadgar in Shattrath City and accept the final quest line.
The Master Key
Before completing the last quest of Karazhan attunement in The Burning Crusade Anniversary, your group needs to get the Black Morass attunement. In the The Black Morass dungeon, you will start your final questline. Here you can find Sa’at and complete the quest The Black Morass.
- Defend Medivh, open up the dark portal, and complete the dungeon. After that, speak to Medivh to complete the current quest and start the new one — Return to Khadgar.
- Return to Khadgar in Shattrath City. He will give you The Master’s Key, which grants access to the Karazhan raid.
- Accept the quest The Violet Eye and travel to Karazhan in Deadwind Pass.
4.9In summary, Karazhan Attunement requires completing several questlines, getting attuned to two TBC Anniversary dungeons, and collecting three key fragments. Upon meeting these conditions, you will be able to start raiding and enter the Karazhan raid.
