Gatekeeper's Challenge: Cunning is a quest for level 45 in Eredath. It is step 12 of 15 in The Crown of the Triumvirate storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Eredath at 60.0, 50.5. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 6,150 experience and money.

Description

Archimonde expected greatness from his pupils. Only the most imaginative minds, the most adroit of intellects, could ever truly fathom the deepest reaches of our magic.

I doubt you can relate.

The path to the left will take you to a set of three statues. Use them to collect a Mark of Cunning.

To preserve the integrity of this trial, I will not be able to provide hints. If you do, by some miracle, happen to succeed, I will formally recognize your... brilliance.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Gatekeeper's Challenge: TenacityEredath · Level 45

    My master Archimonde was not known for his willingness to suffer indecision. He preferred to teach by rewarding frustration with more frustration-- punishment with more punishment. Absolute conviction was required to succeed under him.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Gatekeeper's Challenge: MasteryEredath · Level 45

    Archimonde was an individual consumed by the pursuit of power. Only those who could match his lust would fare well under his tutelage. You will fight what remains of Archimonde's greatest pupils. These three once held such power in their own disciplines that the Conservatory remembers them now.
