To reach the Darklight Catacombs, you should start at the Recluses’ River Downstream Sanctuary.

Head to the right side of the waterfall’s edge and you will see another row of tombstones that will lead you down yet another level. Once again, you will find yourself by a river. This time, ride south until you reach the next waterfall. On the left side of the waterfall, you will find the third and final row of tombstones that will lead you down to a mist-covered field. Shadow Militia members will be waiting for you below. Stay on the rock wall to the left and ride east. The Darklight Catacombs will be very close.

Once you reach the catacombs, you’ll want to head to the second elevator. After exiting the elevator, go down the stairs and look over the railing to the left. You’ll see a very small ledge that you can land on by using the small gap at the end of the railing. Follow the path to a small opening that leads to a secret chamber. Once you enter, you’ll find a gargoyle hanging from the ceiling, a spell-casting enemy on the right, and the Death Knight on the left, on the body of a dead knight. Make sure to take out the enemies first, as they can knock you over the ledge if you try to grab the armor first.
