High Inquisitor Whitemane is located at the end of the Cathedral wing.

Comment by TheOnyx

Whitemane will appear once you defeat Scarlet Commander Mograine (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=3976). Mograine is located inside the actual Cathedral building in the Cathedral wing, and should not be engaged until the rest of the mobs inside the Cathedral are killed.

Once you get Whitemane to around 50% health, she'll sleep the entire party, resurrect Mograine, then heal herself. At this point, taking out Whitemane first is advised, since she heals.

Comment by LKolmir

If you happen to have a 60 running you through the instance they should back off the DPS once Whitemane appears. It is possible to kill her before she sleeps the party to bring back Mograine. If you kill her before this happens or as it happens it will break the event and prevent looting of Mograine's body. Also the party will remain in combat until you exit the instance.

Comment by 7999

When killing Whitemane and Morgraine, try to concentrate your attacks on one of them (Whitemane is better choice since she heals). Once you take out one of them, the other is easy to take down

Comment by h4rr0d

just did SM-Cath with 4 men party- lvl 38 druid and 34, 35, 38 pallies. we wiped once during this boss fight. on the second try we managed to win, but druid died. during both fights we had 2 or 3 respawns on us too (popped during fight).
noticable is, that if you fail to get whitemane to 50% soon enough, she would MC one party member (i think its for 10 or 15 secs) and this effect persists through the scripted phase, so if you get your mate MCed, be sure to CC him or he will hit you while you are asleep.
theyre also both immune to arcane torrent and stun.

Comment by Scivar

I just went after her with an all 40+ 5 person group. We had 4 casters and a shadow priest. When she had about 55% health left, we put all our DoTs on her and attacked with our best spells. She knocked us out and while she was trying to rez the other guy, she died. We looted her, but didn't get the stuff from the man.

Comment by supermage

Bow of Searing Arrows dropped for me and i sold it for 110 gold, so it does drop every once in a while.

Comment by 64199

Better not DOT her before she sleeps, they'll persist through the sleep and might kill her, and you don't want that :( .

Btw if you do kill her before she rezzes Mograine, you will get bugged in combat.

Comment by Silverado

As of patch 2.3.0, High Inquisitor Whitemane is now a level 40 elite.

Comment by mmpedersen

ALBINO BOSS!!!

Comment by ferdinand

If u have a 70 running u through and you kill her before she heals mograine, you wont be able to loot either of them.

Comment by 63454

And btw... She has to heal Mograine or you lose, above comment is correct

Comment by 111622

They have fixed this bug recently, you can't Dot her while the Event is happening that will kill her. She won't die. It will just slow down and stop at 1%, as a Fire Mage my burns ticked her down (level 70) from 4 % and it went down for about 8 seconds, stopping at 1% with the dot still there.

Comment by 73751

You can visit the 14 year old version of her in Old Hillsbrad Foothills

Comment by jophen

She is pretty

Comment by 150718

Something you might not know! She have got a mind control.

Comment by 176454

I want to the Church society which she represents. BTW, she has not sleeped wor a while (her eyes are bloody), which is understandable ;)

Comment by 201024

If your a lvl 60 or higher warlock and you just want to disenchant the boss drops, you can pull High Inquisitor Whitemane through the door with your imp and kill her without aggro'ing anyone else. Its tricky, but I've been doing it for years.

1. Run all the way to the Inquisitor's door keeping your distance from all mobs. (especially Mograne)
2. Target the Inquisitor through the door.
3. Summon your imp; press your *Left* shoulder against the door so that the imp is between you and the door.
4. Now walk forwards and backwards against the door while commanding the imp to attack her.
5. The imp eventually will glitch through the door and fireball her. (After practice this gets much easier and faster)
6. Once the Boss has been attacked, call the imp back and break line of sight to the right of the door.
7. The Inquisitor will run through the door to come get you.
8. Place a "Curse of Doom" on her and then carefully wand or siphon her HP down to *JUST ABOVE* half.
9. Wait for the Curse of Doom to execute and she will die immediately.

***To cure your questions of disbelief; if the other boss is dead before you attack her then yes, she will live with 1hp left.
However if he is alive or not even aggro'd then the Inquisitor's "second chance at life" will not be activated and she will die.
***Caution: If you wand her HP to half or below before the Curse of Doom executes, she will attempt to rez the other boss who isn't dead and this will aggro him, also aggro'ing the entire Cathedral.
***1 last thing, every now and then your curse of doom summons a doom guard, this is bad juju... hope you have a soul stone equipped or can run like the wind.

If you have any questions feel free to scroll up and read it again. My description is as good as it can get.

Comment by jasonrharr

Irrelevant, but in one of the pictures, she is standing over Iron Man. Stan Lee would not be pleased.

Comment by 156620

After extensive research and long comparisons I finally found the items to cosplay her! (The search still continues for Normal Whitemane's Extended Bracers! Send me a message if you find it!)

Sets: http://www.wowhead.com/?compare=18681:30931:29117:9999:31230:20655:31700:38311;7720:14266:14042:14045:30926:30927:30924:25935:23705

Normal Whitemane:
Whitemane's Chapeau
Bloodwoven Pads
Cindercloth Vest
Cindercloth Pants
Ashwalker's Footwraps
Earthmender's Bracer of Shattering
Gloves of the High Magus
Invincible Stave
Tabard of Flame

Dark Whitemane:
Ghostly Headwrap
Burial Shawl
Stormspire Vest
Black Mageweave Leggings
Abyss Walker's Boots
Abyssal Cloth Bracers
Abyssal Cloth Handwraps
Runed Silver Staff
Tabard of the Void

ENJOY!

Edit 1: I have found the extended bracers for the dark version!
Edit 2: I have found tabards similar to the one Whitemane wears for both the dark and normal versions.

Comment by skribs

With a group ranging from 36-41 we got her to 4% before she rezzed Mograine. No warlocks either.

Comment by 194549

Here are the two sets:

Normal Whitemane

Dark Whitemane

They links are to blood elf model. Too bad we can't customize the hair colors and such.

Comment by 216897

do they both pull aggro at the same time?

Comment by 281298

THANK YOU! I was hoping someone had compiled this list. I just went out and got the normal set, it looks fantastic.

Comment by Skullhawk13

Is it just me or does she never drop the hat? I have only necklaces and i am getting tired of it, So is the hat drop rate nerfed or Am i a unlucky person?

Comment by Korvinus

As Celaeris showed in the link above, the Black Mageweave Vest and Boots are a lot easier to come by.

I've also found that the Regal Mantle (a random low level shoulder piece that can be found on the AH quite frequently) fits the "Dark" outfit much better than the Burial Shawl. It doesn't require a lucky drop from Scholo, just AH luck.

For the 'original' Whitemane set, if you're having trouble finding the Bloodwoven Pads, you can easily use Crimson Silk Shoulders, which are Tailor made. *cough*

EDIT: Here's slightly updated links of FierceTank's and Celaeris' set:

Original Whitemane Set

Head: Whitemane's Chapeau
Shoulders: Crimson Silk Shoulders
Chest: Cindercloth Vest
Bracers: Earthmender's Bracers
Gloves: Gloves of the High Magus
Legs: Cindercloth Pants
Boots: Ashwalker's Footwraps
Staff: Invincible Stave

Dark Whitemane Set

Head: Ghostly Headwrap
Shoulders: Regal Mantle
Chest: Black Mageweave Vest
Bracers: Abyssal Cloth Wristbands
Gloves: Abyssal Cloth Handwraps
Legs: Black Mageweave Leggings
Boots: Black Mageweave Boots
Stave: Invincible Stave

And here I thought I was the only one who was ~~insane~~ obsessed enough to put thought into this. >.<

Comment by 156620

Not to offend, thetwink13, but you can't base an entire set off of a single headpiece. I doubt that frost whitemane will ever come to be... and matching the hat with Cindercloth? Heresy I say!

Comment by Cavanoskus

I'm jealous that her hair doesn't disappear inside her hat. :[ Seriously, WTF.

I've also never been in a group that didn't spam /flirt at her when she runs into the room.

Comment by Akario

Just a F.Y.I.
This is a level 40 instance, but even soloing it at high level can be tough.
You DO have to clear the entire room...

Found that out the hard way.. >.<

Comment by 235468

It appears that her memory lives on. Argent Confessor Paletress at the Argent Tournament looks very much like her. I was surprised when I saw her.

white mane = white hair = pale tress

Perhaps they could be related, in some way? Cousins?

Comment by 276714

Anyone know the wav script for when she say Arise my champion?

Comment by 419793

Do not bother trying to stop her casting or interrupt she is immune to it. She puts u to sleep when below 50% so she can rez mograine which will heal her in exchange. Then good luck they she has full hp and mograine has 1/2. I recommend to take her out first then mograine.

Comment by McDeath

Soloed as a 44 Paladin. had a tricky time keeping the room clear as I was getting ready to attack Mograine.. however I found that after she appeared and rezzed mograine.. it was definalty best to kill him first as her damage is negligible.. Killed her both with less that 200 hp left, and no mana at all

Very very satisfying indeed, Herod next.

Mograine actualyl dropper the Fiery War Axe.. which is not listed as one of his drops. Would have prefered the shield.. however now I know what to expect (2 hours hard slog) I may have another go sometime

Comment by Skinnar

While running a friend through SM Cath today on my DK, I pulled the last boss, Mograine, all the mobs to the left and right pulled. Since my DK was only lvl 60, I had my lock friend soulstone me and run, but not before I killed Mograine and Whitemane spawned.

It ended up with me dieing, soulstone rezzing, and him running back to entrance with half the instance following him. I used some healing abilities and eventually killed Whitemane at the entrance. She rezzed Mograine, but he didn't come running. He had actually reset.

So what does this allow? An easy way to farm the Loot that Whitemane drops

Just run back to the entrance, kill Whitemane, then repeat.
Not very big, but quite fun when farming for a clothy!

Comment by 444816

Does anyone have the sound files for her?

Comment by 445357

in the 3rd screen shot, bet Mograine would wish he was alive an facing up :]

Comment by 443973

you cant kill her until she is making u deep sleep.

Comment by 156620

Here's all the Whitemane costumes I could compile along with an unfinished one. Enjoy!

Comment by Narielm

Morgaine and Whitemane in the bedroom...

Arise, My champion

Ehhh, okey

The light has <Inster Stuff here>''Spoken''

You get my point?

*Paletress enter's the room*

O.o

Mograine has fallen? You shall pay for this Tretshery (Or W/e)

The end

Comment by 561831

So this may be the lore basis behind Dirty-looking Sally:

Whitemane: So Renault...watcha think of my new legs? /wink
Mograine: THEY MUST BE PURIFIED! Hehehe...
(cutoff for decency's sake)

Who ever said those Scarlet freaks were "pure" anyways?

Oh yea, and on a serious note, make sure you don't insta-kill the retardin or she will hide and never come out. As an 80 meele dps you may wanna remove not only your weapon but also armor...just to be safe.

Comment by 301506

Is it possible to get the face markings?

Comment by 610886

After you kill Mograine the door will open and she will come out, after getting her health down she stuns the entire party, heals herself, and rezzes Mograine at full health, you then have to fight both, however there is a bug that if you are too strong and kill Whitemane , well, ull have to do the dungeon again

Comment by 625055

wait wait... look at her abilities. look at dominate mind. works on target up to 25. if you're that level you can't even enter lol

Comment by 653985

Why the hell is the lady carrying a bunch of axes around? Note: Check out drops

Comment by Corbon

Comparing her current appearance with her younger self in Old Hillsbrad it seems like she contracted vitiligo some time ago.

Comment by 587224

and why does she have a vampire-sort-of face?

Comment by Golgathoth

I would just like to ask.... since when does she speak Demonic?

Comment by 798383

man i love the female bosses with no pants!

Comment by 653985

A little bit a mixie-matchie, and I got this (Feel free to do what you wish; remove the pants, replace the tabard with that of the Scarlet Crusade, whatever):

Scarlette Whitemane-Mograine

It's their kid :)

Comment by Studhole

Its strange. All her gear would be useable by a Priest. The Critical Strike Rating on Triune Amulet would be reforged to haste/mastery for a healer.

Comment by gerbera

If anyone else is like me and completed all of the quests long ago without thought to keep the red gloves or bracers, Hands of the Sun are a nice substitute (long gloves, no bracers needed). Additionally, Gauntlets of the Sun King might also be an option, but I don't care for the shape of those with this set, and are harder to come by (need a raid).

Nyte is the real Whitemane.

Comment by TopHatEnthusiast

Seems we're going to fight the crimson beauty once more in Mists of Pandaria with SM being revamped.

Comment by soadrokr

for priests hoping to transmog this outfit i have found Girdle of Prophecy matches nicely with the set that others have mentioned

Comment by 851034

Been killing her for many years and never saw her speak demonic. But, today I killed her on an alt and she yelled "refir xi azgalada" (in demonic). No clue what it means.. And I don't think I ever saw it in all the kills before.. Something new? Or I just missed it?

Comment by TheSonicGod

Mists of Pandaria beta, not sure how to stop her without an interrupt. At the moment, you can queue up for the dungeon at lv29ish, but that huge mob she summons is impossible to defeat.

Comment by Nobbel

High Inquisitor Whitemane can be found inside Scarlet Monastery inside the Cathedral (left portal).

Incarnadine Scarlet Spaulders
Leggings of Hallowed Fire
Lightbreaker Greatsword

Comment by bloodthunderorc

her red eyes and marks in the face remind me a little how looks the cult of the damned members.. kinda ironic since the scarlet crusade want to destroy all the undead (forsaken, scourge or independent they don't care)

Comment by Sentro

When she dies in MoP she yells "Mograine...!"
Seems like she missed him.

Comment by 715782

As of 5.0, in Heroic mode, DO NOT WIPE on this boss.

I'm not sure if this applies in every phase, or just phase 3- or if it happens in normal too- but our group wiped on Phase 3 in heroic, and upon getting back to her, she locked herself in the room behind the altar and wouldn't come out. We were forced to abandon the dungeon.

Comment by Sundgaard

I made this list while I was finding items for the Transmog Sets - Cindercloth Regalia,
see my full guide on that here: http://www.wowhead.com/transmog-set=1128#comments:id=1568042
Also see my other guides on the recolors for that same set:

To explain my "system" :)
This is the Basic linie up for each item:
"Place": "Item-name/link" - "Where it comes from" (Who can make it, who drops it, which quest reward or where can I buy it?)
Multiple "Head" means that although the items have another name, it is the same model and color and can be used as a substitute

Head: Whitemane's Chapeau - Drops from High Inquisitor Whitemane 32.00%
Shoulder: Shroud of the Nathrezim - Drops from Balnazzar 19.00%
Shoulder: Bloodwoven Pads - Drops from level 44-49 mobs (Random Enchantment)
Shoulder: Crimson Silk Shoulders - Tailor (190) Pattern: Crimson Silk Shoulders World drop
Shoulder: Starfire Mantle - World drop / Outland mobs (Random Enchantment)
Shoulder: Embersilk Mantle - Drops from level 33-40 mobs
Chest: Cindercloth Vest - Tailor (260) Pattern: Cindercloth Vest drops from Twilight Fire Guard 00.05%
Wrists: Earthmender's Bracer of Shattering - Reward from Escape from Coilskar Cistern(A+H)
Hands: Gloves of the High Magus - Reward from News of Victory(H) or News of Victory(A)
Legs: Cindercloth Pants - Tailor (280) Pattern: Cindercloth Pants drops from Thaurissan Firewalker 04.00%
Feet: Fire Striders - Drops from Balnazzar 21.00%

Staff: Invincible Stave - Reward from Kill the Shadow Council!(H) or Kill the Shadow Council!(A)
Staff: Glowing Brightwood Staff - Drops from level 48-56 mobs

Hopes someone finds this more helpfull than the other comments ;-)

Comment by DivineIxen

Had weird incident today. Fight was normal until we got the third phase and she got a mass rez off. She suddenly despawned along with all the adds.

Durand respawned and we killed him, but Whitemane did not show up. We ended up having to abandon the dungeon. :(

Comment by budonerd

In case any of you would like to add what she's saying, "Arise, my champion!" to their ress-spell, here is the script you'd have to attach to it in a macro!
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound/Creature/Highinquisitorwhitemane/Highinquisitorwhitemaneres01.Ogg")

Comment by Seahnjin

A note to high-leveled people running the non-heroic instance : killing Whitemane too fast will glitch the entire encounter, as she won't have the time to rez Durand. Nothing happens after this, and you remain in combat forever. The only way to reset the encounter, as far as I know, is to zone out of the instance.

Comment by Zurei

Does anyone know the sound file command for High Inquisitor Whitemane?

Comment by Mightylorddk

She'll be raised as Initiate Whitemane, a Frost Death Knight in Death Knight's order hall as a part of the new Four Horsemen under the idea of Thassarian. Other members of the Four Horsemen will be General Nazgrim, Thoras Trollbane and possibly Tirion Fordring.

Comment by vindurza

looks like it's her time to rise as a champion

Comment by Spookymomma

THIS is one of my favorite transmogs. So much in fact that I have worn it for years. I have recently changed the shoulders, bracers & belt to something I think looks a little better, but you decide.

Head: Ata'mal Crown
Shoulders: Primal Combatant's Satin Mantle
Chest: Cindercloth Vest
Wrists: Vambraces of Prophecy
Gloves: Gloves of the High Magus
Belt: Girdle of Prophecy
Legs: Cindercloth Pants
Boots: Infernoweave Boots

I just didn't like the dusty faded appearance of the orig shoulders for this set and the bracers & belt matched fairly well. I'd like to hear what you think.

Comment by flange

Can we find out who voices her?

Comment by garymce

Seems to be bugged currently in the BfA pre-patch (only tried in heroic, not sure if normal's affected).

When you kill Durand the first time and get Whitemane to cast resurrection, his health bar re-fills but his character remains lying on the floor, and all you can do is reduce his health back down to 1 hp where it stays. You can kill Whitemane, but you can't loot her and you're stuck in combat and need to either drop combat, or run out of the instance if you can't.

Tested three times, no DoTs on Whitemane so I wasn't killing her early or anything. It didn't work once. I also let Whitemane cast Mass Resurrection (the one you can interrupt) just in case, but all that does is aggro a bunch of mobs.

Comment by SilverDragon234

The best boss in the game! An all time favorite. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Comment by Xlsfd

If High Inquisitor Whitemane can figure out how to rezz someone while in combat (Scarlet Resurrection), why can't every other priest take a page from her book and learn that as well?

Comment by addmydataz

Adding an Update to the information here at nearly the 3-year-mark from my Original Post on finding the Citrine Pendant of Golden Healing Jewelcrafting Design, posting in two places for relevancy:

202 runs through Uldaman resulted in finding this Design at least 5 times, if not 7 or 8. It's BoP, so useless to my main Dungeon Runner. I decided to switch to my character who has Jewelcrafting to acquire it after it dropped again and, once again, I was forced to discard it as it can't even be vendored for bus fare.

82 more runs to the Ancient Treasure, clearing most if not all of Uldaman bottom level in the process, didn't see it drop, so back to WoWhead to read through all the posts again for any new information. The 'Dropped by' listing is headed by High Inquisitor Whitemane, listing her as a 3% chance to drop the Design, but as noted on the CPoGH Design Page, other posters have stated it is no longer dropped by her. Truly being tired of spraying Trogg guts all over the walls in smelly underground tunnels, I decided to test this idea, so I took a jaunt over to Scarlet Monastery.

102 runs directly to Whitemane, killing only the mini-bosses required to open doors and any unfortunates that aggro'ed, gave these results:

First, both Whitemane AND Duran have to be killed before you can loot Whitemane. Only HIW drops anything, Duran does not. HIW always dropped (2 Blue Items, roughly 5% of the time it's the same item, otherwise two random blues from her Loot Table. She does not drop any White Items. The most common one she dropped was the Flashing Steel Talisman (2%), the least common was the Waistplate of Imminent Resurrection (3%), both chances being less likely than the listed Drop Chance of the Design. The Imbued Crystal did not drop, and neither did the Design. Every Blue Item listed except for the Crystal dropped at least 6 times. As a side note, a level 50 Character using a Fast Ground Mount and occasionally Blink can Farm HIW in less than 3 minutes per Run.

Although this is a small Run Sample Size, and RNG is RNG, I believe the results support the previous posters' conclusions; Whitemane no longer drops the Design.

So, back to Uldaman and filthy, smelly Troggs...
