The Halloween season is once again upon us, and this time around Blizzard Entertainment has special treats for all World of Warcraft Dragonflight players. Not only is the Hallow’s End event revamped while the Headless Horseman encounter got a new coat of paint, but fans can once again enter the old version of Scarlet Monastery!

Originally, Scarlet Monastery consisted of four separate dungeons—Graveyard, Library, Armory, and Cathedral. In the Mists of Pandaria expansion, Blizzard Entertainment reworked these dungeons, condensing them into only two instances. Because of this, iconic Scarlet Crusade items were lost and forgotten.

But, you can now pay a visit to the classic version of the Scarlet Monastery, and here’s how you can do it in Dragonflight.

How to get the Scarlet Key in WoW Dragonflight?

You can get the Scarlet Key from two sourcesLoot-Filled Pumpkin and an auction house. If you’ve played WoW before the Scarlet Cathedral revamp, you might still have the key since it was looted in the Library wing, once you defeat the final boss. 

Loot-Filled Pumpkin is the cache you get after defeating the Headless Horseman. It’s possible you’ll have a better chance to get the key if you complete the encounter on hard mode.
