1. Solved Elf Test
The riddle
Winter shudders with ice and snow
Autumn rumbles, the sky lit aglow.
Summer burns, air fiery as a hearth.
Spring quenches, with bloody rebirth.
To solve the riddle and pass the trial you need to hit the four statues with different elemental skills.
- Hero of Winter - Hit it with Ice Fan or Hail Strike spell.
- Hero of Autumn - You need a steam cloud first. Make a pool of water (Rain spell, etc.), cast a fire spell on it (Searing Daggers spell, Fireball spell, etc.), then shock the cloud with a lightning spell (Electric Discharge, Dazing Bolt, etc.).
- Hero of Summer - You can use Laser Ray spell.
- Hero of Spring - You can use Raining Blood spell or Flesh Sacrifice (elf racial ability).
Once you activate all four totems, four challengers (lvl 14) will appear and the fight will start.
We have solved the riddle that was put to us by the brazier, only for four elven challengers to rise up and attack us.
2. Completed Elf Test
You need to defeat all four elemental challengers. Each of them has different immunity.
We have defeated the elven challengers, and completed the brazier's test.
Rewards
Phoenix Heart (it grants Flaming Tongues spell when consumed (Elf!)) + gold and items inside the chest.
3. Failed Elf Test
We fled from the battle with the challengers, and seem to have failed the the brazier's test as a result.
