Unfortunately, ordinary coordinates and TomTom won't work in Karazhan.
But I know navigating Karazhan can be quite daunting, so I resorted to pasting maps with a single marker on them.

If you know the way to the [npc=15691] yourself: Skip to point 14.


  1. Entrance of old Karazhan: /way #42 46.89 74.75 Old Karazhan entrance

  2. Climb up the stairs behind this mark: https://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=3457.1:519608

  3. At the top of the stairs, re-open your map, locate and kill [npc=15687]

  4. Climb up the stairs at: https://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=3457.3:713391

  5. Enter the backstage area at: https://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=3457.4:260220

  6. Speak to [npc=16812] who will spawn a random boss for the "Opera Hall" boss mark on your map

  7. Leave the stage at the other Exit you did NOT use enter it

  8. Climb the stairs at https://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=3457.5:615199

  9. Exit the Opera Hall at https://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=3457.6:425360

  10. Climb some stairs and exit the room at: https://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=3457.6:641669

  11. Climb some stairs to reach the exit of the map "Lower Broken Stair": https://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=3457.7:534594

  12. Climb some more stairs and exit the map "Upper Broken Stair" at https://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=3457.8:539491538491

  13. You are now on the map "The Menagerie". Re-open your map, locate and kill [npc=15691]

  14. Using your [item=207730], you have to find 4 [object=408976] in a specific order, the last of which is [item=208889]. All 4 tomes are in bookcases; ignore those lying on the floor.

  15. First Tome: https://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=3457.9:309479

  16. Second Tome: https://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=3457.9:356356

  17. Third Tome: https://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=3457.9:463624

  18. Fourth Tome / [item=208889]: https://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=3457.9:321498

  19. [item=208889] starts the quest [quest=77908]. Go back to [npc=207696] to finish it.

The reward of this is the part "Kirin Tor Knowledge" of the achievement Whodunnit?

For those that know the way through the raid, just go to the Curator and continue from number 14 on Tieffliegers list. I started following each step in case I had to do something, but at 14 past Curator is when it starts. Thank you, Tiefflieger, for the post!
