The last instance in Auchindoun is the Shadow Labyrinth, and is meant for players of at least level 69. The instance is the commonly referred to as the shadow labs and is home of the Shadow Council. The instance is locked off and untilbuy wow gold you obtain the key or a high enough lock picking skill you can not enter. The key is relatively easy to get though as it drops from the last boss in Sethekk Halls (Talon King Ikiss).
The Shadow Labyrinth is an excellent place to get rep with the Shattrath Lower City as every kill provides rep through honored.

Getting to the Auchindoun |
The Outlands! A complete map of the world and where everything is in it |
Getting to the Auchindoun is fairly easy unless you are too low a level,wow gold, as the MOBS around it range up to level 65. It can be found in the large blasted bone waste area of Terokkar forest to the south of Shattrath City. You can also get access to it from the Alliance or Horde towns to the east and north east. They are the Allerian Stronghold and Stonebreaker Hold respectively. Auchindoun is the large ruins in the center of the bone wastes. When you reach there you have to head down through various tunnels to reach the bottom of the ruins, which is a circular plaza area. In the center is a meeting stone towow gold summon other players and the instances can be found in tunnels around the outskirts of the central area. Another way to get to it is taking any of the stair ways around it up, and then finding a place to jump down through the ruins. There are several places where the ruins form. long steps down, sure, you'll take some fall damage, but taken in steps, its fine.
There are many quests in the instance, however for most of them you need to be level 70. The quests are:
The Lexicon Demonica ,ugg;-Obtain the Lexicon Demonica from Grandmaster Vorpil and bring it to David Wayne at Wayne's Refuge.
The Lexicon is the glowing book floating in the room where you fight Grandmaster Vorpil, once he is dead you can read it.
The Book of Fel Names -Venture inside the Shadow Labyrinth in Auchindoun and obtain the Book of Fel Names from Blackheart the Inciter. Return to Altruis in Nagrand once you've completed this task.
The book drops from Bleakheart the Inciter (the second boss).
The Soul Devices -Steal 5 Soul Devices and deliver them to Spymistress Mehlisah Highcrown at the Terrace of the Light in Shattrath City.
The soul devices are found in the tents throughout the instance, however there are many more around the second and forth boss than anywhere else.
Entry Into Karazhan -Khadgar wants you to enter the Shadow Labyrinth at Auchindoun and retrieve the First Key Fragment from an Arcane Container hidden there.
This is part of a quest chain to get your key for Karazhan, it is only the first part of the key though. The key can be found in a container around the last boss (Murmur).
This instance is where things really start to ramp up in difficulty and as such there are MANY different MOBs that need to be watched out for, they include:
Cabal Acolyte –A healing MOB, must be taken out early or CC'ed (crowd controlled), or they will heal the other MOBs in the group.
Cabal Assassin -Rogues thatworld of warcraft gold spawn while clearing the second bosses room. They do insane damage and usually spawn while in the middle of a fight. They must be dropped or crowd controlled quickly or they will kill the casters. They hit hard enough and fast enough to drop a cloth wearer in just a few seconds.
Cabal Fanatic –These MOBs his hard and fast,world of warcraft gold, in addition they are immune to normal aggro tables, and can just select a target and attack it until taunted off. Very important for them to see and select the tank first.
Cabal Spellbinder –Can mind control players
Cabal Summoner-These MOBs summon additional MOBs and are therefore a high priority to CC or kill first.
Cabal Zealot -These casters throw shadow bolts until low health and then shape change into a small magmadarr type demon dog that does TONS of melee damage. A Mage can spell steal the buff though and turn the tables on them.
Fel Overseer- These large demons are seen in the first bosses room. They hit very hard and have an AOE fear so must be pulled away from other things still up in the room. They also have a ton of health so the fights with them are not always easy.
