What does this information mean?
Background[]
Asadel Yasurbah has one last trick to play again The Saracen and the poor peoples of Maj'Dul. Get inside here and stop the unleashed Altairenanhk from killing Ishara, Caliph of Truth and burning the whole Court of Truth to the ground!
Notes[]
- Remember to loot the body of Altairenanhk after killing him to receive Ishara's piece of a broken medallion. This medallion piece is needed for the quest The Courts of Maj'Dul: Of Fate and Destiny.
Altairenanhk[]
When you get him to 80% health, he will depop and repop as a non-attackable NPC. A random player will be chosen, declared by Charactername has been chosen.
The player who has been chosen will have to stay relatively close to the NPC and answer the riddle the sphinx asks.
The right answer is followed by the text response Success is rewarded. Taking too long to answer (about 15 seconds) or picking the incorrect answers results in Failure is punished. Success means the sphinx will repop as attackable at 80% health. Failure results in the sphinx repopping at 100% health with some adds.
After each successive riddle, you must damage the sphinx an additional 20% from the previous attempt. Each riddle (HP threshold) of the sphinx will also drop a chest. After four riddles (regardless or whether or not they were correctly answered) you can actually kill the sphinx and receive the medallion from its corpse.
