The Warden's Game (Horde)

The Warden's Game is a Horde-only quest for level 15-30 in Badlands. It is step 34 of 53 in the Badlands storyline. It rewards 5,150 experience.

Description

You see the statue split into two, then four, then eight identical statues in a square formation.

You hear a voice, not through your ears, but in the back of your mind:

"A true warden does not face OUTWARD, searching for signs of danger.

A true warden keeps his gaze INWARD, always focused on protecting his quarry."

Perhaps this is a riddle of some sort?

Reposted cos some people are downrating an EXCELLENT guide to this.

Also, to DeadMAX up there: Phbbbbt.

I don't think puzzles are fun. I want to play WoW. Not Puzzlemania. Or Turret Defense. Or Plants and frickin' Zombies. Or Simon Says. And there will be plenty of people who agree with me. So leave the people who want to get done with the quest alone and enjoy your $15 a month your way, while we do likewise.

So there! :D

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Sentinel's PawnBadlands · Level 15-30

    We found this small red statue on the corpse of one of those Explorers' League archaeologists. Sadly, it wasn't us who killed him. The local wildlife had already taken care of that. The statue is well-crafted, but apparently bereft of magical power.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Sentinel's GameBadlands · Level 15-30

    As you place the statue in its place, several other stone statues appear in the room. One more ruby-colored statue also appears, in a small enclosure on the far end of the room. You hear a voice: "The Sentinel watches. The Sentinel protects.
