Gatekeeper's Challenge: Tenacity

Overcome the Trial of Tenacity.

• Enter the Gatekeeper's Alcove
• Complete the Trial of Tenacity

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.

At the opposite end of the Conservatory you will find a large structure. Once inside, your goal is to overcome all the obstacles placed before you.

Emerge unscathed and I will be forced to consider your will strong enough to proceed.

You will receive:

Take all the time you need. Failure is an art, I hear.

You may be worthy of the Conservatory's secrets, if you survive that long.

Travel east on your minimap until you find the Gatekeeper's Image in front of the large building. Speak to it to begin the trial.

• Are you ready to begin the Trial of Tenacity?

• Quoram speaks frankly, then ends with a verbal smirk.
• say
• The image teleports further in.

The first part consists of tiles on the ground alternating between purple and red, the latter of which you'll to avoid stepping on. Once you're past it, the Gatekeeper will speak again:

• say

The second part is two-fold: Avoiding the lasers and the orbs that travel from side to side. This is best accomplished by waiting for when the orbs are traveling from right to left, then run across once the orbs are past the halfway point. Once you're past that area, the Gatekeeper will taunt you again:

• say

Third part involves avoiding the orbs that are rolling down while attempting to reach Gatekeeper on the final floor. Wait for an orb to roll past, then quickly run up and to the side of a small ledge overhang. The gatekeeper itself will sometimes roll an orb that travels straight ahead to fall off the overhang, so be mindful of that. Proceed to the end point when there's a break in the rolling orbs.

• say

Speak to the Gatekeeper to complete the trial.

• I see that you are either very fast or very persistent. But is it enough to prove your tenacity I wonder?

• <Quoram makes a noise akin to humming.>

• Quoram huffs, and grumbles out the last sentence.
• say

You can speak to the Gatekeeper again if you're thinking of wanting a quick return to the Conservatory entrance, but...

• I suppose you would like me to return you to the Conservatory entrance.

• say

Time to mount up and ride back to the Conservatory entrance yourself, then.
