Objectives

Obtain the Stone of the Moon and the Stone of the Sun from the Colossal Guardians.

•  [Stone of the Moon]
•  [Stone of the Sun]

Description

The chest containing the scepter appears to be magically sealed and will not budge.

The plaque above it depicts two giant statues holding star and moon-shaped stone sockets at their center.

The two statues are pictured guarding pyramids that look like the ones outside.

Perhaps it's worth your while to investigate these.

Progress

You wipe away the sand from the hieroglyphs only for them to become covered in a new layer. You'd best hurry.

Completion

You place the two gems inside the sockets in the wall.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 8 60
• 43900 XP
• 250 reputation with Ramkahen

Notes

• The statues you are looking for are the Colossus of the Moon and the Colossus of the Sun. Interacting with them will cause them to unbury themselves and become hostile.
• Upon being activated, they will yell:

You will be punished for this transgression, thief!
