The Durmand Priory Basement. |
Hidden Arcana is a special instanced zone in the Shiverpeak Mountains. It primarily consists of the Durmand Priory's Special Collections, the Priory's primary library and storage of magical artifacts, as well as the off-limits section of it which contains the most dangerous magical artifacts that the Durmand Priory has found. One notable artifact is the Ornate Hourglass, which allows access to Glint's Lair, a version of which is also contained within this zone.
Getting there[edit]

Notes[edit]
- The areas do not count towards Shiverpeaks Explorer.
- This zone also has a copy of the Durmand Priory's library instance, which is in Lornar's Pass. However, this can only be accessed during the Hidden Arcana and Arcana Obscura story steps.
- When entering for The Convergence of Sorrow II: Requiem, other players can join as well, but when interacting with Ely Scorchfire, which redirects you to the Hidden Arcana, the other player will be removed from the second instance with the message "The instance owner has left, and you will be returned to Lornar's Pass"; other players cannot join for the second instance through the first instance, nor do they get the option to join for the Hidden Arcana instance when they had not joined for the first instance.
