Speak in Riddles is an achievement for answering 10 riddles to two Djinns in Desert Highlands.
Achievement[edit]
Speak in Riddles | Desert Highlands | 10 |
---|---|---|
Fight djinn to earn a chance at solving a daily riddle. |
Solved 10 Djinn Riddles | 10 |
Walkthrough[edit]
This achievement is completed by solving the riddles of two djinns after winning against them in combat.
Each character can solve only one riddle from each djinn every day, but multiple characters can talk with the same djinn again in the same day, allowing completion of this achievement in one day.
- Jubua the Wildfire can be found in Fortune's Vale at Overreach Chasm — south of Derelict Delve Waypoint — and it is easy to find and is available at any time, since it is also a Hero Challenge marked in the map.
- When using multiple characters, each character will have to defeat Jubua and earn his Hero Point to get the riddle dialog.
- Ellutherius Wintergust can be found at the Palace of Aban — within the Enchanted Bluffs in Desert Highlands and is a Legendary Bounty target.
- Any character can talk with Ellutherius after it successfully completing his bounty, whether they participated in the bounty event or not. When using multiple characters, parking four other characters at Palace of Aban before the bounty will allow quickly solving all 5 of its riddles in one day. Being in a party or squad will help returning to the same instance of the map where the djinn is available.
While the djinn will allow several attempts to solve a riddle, they will only give progress towards the achievement and progress to the next riddle when solving each of them in the first try.
Objective | Riddle | Solution | |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Solve Ellutherius Wintergust's first riddle.
|
As you move forward, you leave this behind. Step carefully, for it is your person defined. What is it? | Your legacy. |
2 | Solve Ellutherius Wintergust's second riddle.
|
A glittering treasure sought by many. For the greedy, I am no good fit. I am made of gold and jewels, but my true value is where I sit. What am I? | A crown. |
3 | Solve Ellutherius Wintergust's third riddle.
|
Every success brings you closer to my grasp. Every failure is a chance you will never see me. | Old age. |
4 | Solve Ellutherius Wintergust's fourth riddle.
|
He looks elegant in his fine feathers, but all he does is squawk. What a tranquil place the world would be if these birdies couldn't talk! What is he? | A courtier. |
5 | Solve Ellutherius Wintergust's fifth riddle.
|
I can be given but not traded or sold. I cannot be stolen or paid for in gold. The poor and the rich alike yearn for me, a gift still treasured when the giver is but a memory. | Kindness. |
6 | Solve Jubua the Wildfire's first riddle.
|
I am always hungry and never thirsty. I roar and hiss but do not speak. A welcome friend to some but a swift foe if not treated with care. What am I? |
Fire! |
7 | Solve Jubua the Wildfire's second riddle.
|
I can be seen but not touched. I rise but never fall. I can be a signal or a warning. You would do well to watch for me. What am I? | Smoke! |
8 | Solve Jubua the Wildfire's third riddle.
|
I am what remains when the warmth is gone. I am left behind when the light goes out. I leave a mark on whatever I touch, and the wind can wipe me away. What am I? | Ashes! |
9 | Solve Jubua the Wildfire's fourth riddle.
|
When young, I stand rigid as a soldier, though I am small. With time, I become shapeless as an old blanket, but I provide comfort to the last. What am I? | A candle! |
10 | Solve Jubua the Wildfire's fifth riddle.
|
Unused, I may seem small and brittle, but pair me with a stone and my true value will ignite. What am I? | A match! |
