Instance Guide: Scarlet Monastery

[Gurnsey]

One other thing about the cathedral map: that red line is not the line we usually follow.  Every time I have done the cath, we run through the fountain, up the stairs, and back into the fountain.  This lets you skip most of the mobs on the sides altogether.

Once at the top, we pull all the mobs on the lawn into the fountain.

Bath time!

When I write up this section, I'll be sure to mention this tactic.

Yep, played the same way since like beta 2 or 3 -- whichever one introduced the Scarlet Monastery. The fountain's a great spot to go, although that path does have problems if you happen to have someone in the party who is too low of a level for the instance and therefore has a large aggro radius. Then, you can get all kinds of adds walking down the middle. Otherwise, though, you get to skip a lot of mobs that way.

FYI, there is a nice guide to SM here:

There are also several guides here:

I haven't checked the SM guide there, but the other guides are pretty good.
