| Location | Guardian's Library, Karazhan |
- Activated by Medivh to guard the secrets of Karazhan decades ago, they follow their orders even now.[1]
Arcane Protectors are arcane golems found in Guardian's Library in Karazhan.
They are single pulls, but hit quite hard. They are immune to snares and stuns. When they activate Fist of Stone they hit quite hard but move slowly. Let the tank kite them for the duration. If you are close to the tank in aggro be careful when the kiting starts since aggro generation will pause while the kiting goes on. Non-tanks will likely be one-shot if they take aggro in this defense mode.
During 
[10-45] Hiding in the Stacks, an echo of Medivh activates several Arcane Protectors and spread around Karazhan to send them against Khadgar and the adventurer.
