There are two entrances to the Catacombs actually.

If you want to go in guns blazing, murder 2 elites and 59812741 ghouls the front entrance at 16,39 that gmc mentioned is for you.

If you want to sneak in the back way there is another entrance at 24,35.

You will find the back way is pretty straight forward and linear as far as completing the quest chain.

So, if you are like me looking for "awesome" loot and are like, "wtf? warez teh quest?" then you are in luck. Well kinda. Wowhead says the quest chain starts at the beginning of the catacombs with "Lightforged Rod", but it really starts back at the quest "The Yorgen Worgen"

The Yorgen Worgen

Basically, if you don't finish that quest chain, followed by Sven's quest or two, then you don't get access to this one.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Guided by the LightDuskwood · Level 10-30

    Sven is correct. I can feel the presence of a powerful evil deep beneath the Raven Hill Cemetery. Evil lurks in its catacombs, and Morbent Fel must be the source. You will need the power of the Light to strike him down, <name>.

After this quest

  • Buried BelowDuskwood · Level 10-30

    <You attach the arch to the rod, and the artifact is nearly complete. A large gap still sits at the center of the holy symbol's head.> <Once again you feel it tug your arm, urging you towards the hole in the wall and the winding tunnel ahead. The last piece must be through there.>
