Deactivating R.O.X.

This is one of the three quests given by Image of Zinn from the Golem User Manual. This one deals with neutralizing R.O.X. and retrieving its power crystal. R.O.X. marches on the Temple of the Ages with his army. The golem is programmed to assassinate Princess Salma, the future Queen of Kryta. Zinn, the accidental creator of this killer golem, requested you warn Salma, deactivate R.O.X., and retrieve its power crystal. Head to the Temple of the Ages and prepare the acolytes for battle.

Objectives

 * Speak with Salma in the Temple of the Ages.
 * Defend Princess Salma. She must survive.
 * Deactivate R.O.X. and eliminate his forces.
 * Extract R.O.X.'s power crystal.

Reward

 * R.O.X.'s Power Crystal

Walkthrough
After speaking to Salma, you enter into a mini-mission to defend the Temple of the Ages. The party has 30 seconds to talk to the acolytes and ask them to pray for blessings from each god. It's possible to send more than one acolyte to pray for the same god, increasing the blessing given; this gives diminishing returns, however. The blessings are shown in the following table:

The time counts down to zero, and waves of level 20 golems come crashing down. These golems may kill the acolytes praying at the shrines, removing the blessings from the gods; they will prioritize killing those NPCs over the players, if within range. As such, it may be a good strategy to pray for only two or three blessings that are next to each other, to minimize the travel distance needed to defend these acolytes. After several waves, R.O.X. will turn up. Kill the other golems first so you can focus your attack on R.O.X. who has a large amount of health. R.O.X. will be defeated when its health is reduced below approximately 20%, just past the "R" in R.O.X.

You should prioritize killing the golems nearest to Salma, since her death will cause the mission to fail.

Initial dialogue
Zinn in Golem Tutorial Simulation
 * "R.O.X. marches on the Temple of the Ages with his army. The golem is programmed to assassinate Princess Salma, the future Queen of Kryta. Zinn, the accidental creator of this killer golem, requested you warn Salma, deactivate R.O.X., and retrieve its power crystal. Head to the Temple of the Ages and prepare the acolytes for battle."

Intermediate dialogue
''[Character Name]! Isn't it uncanny how champions always seem to appear in my hour of need? Scouts have brought word of an army of unnatural constructs...metal given life by magic...headed this way. They say the creatures destroy everything in their path. There's still time to organize our defenses here...but not much. I know with your help, we shall survive this! Will you lend us your aid?''
 * Salma
 * ingame What can be made, can be unmade. Onward to battle! (sent to Temple of Ages)
 * ingame Rampaging death machines? Good luck with that!

When taken to the mission area.
 * Salma: ''"We don't have much time...but we do have one advantage. The gods are on our side!
 * Salma: "Ask the monks and acolytes in the temple to offer up prayers to the gods, so we may receive their blessings."
 * Salma: "The gods will channel their blessings through the pious. So as more people pray at a statue, the stronger that god's blessing will become. I leave it to you to decide who to send where, but act quickly. Our foes approach!"

When R.O.X. spawns.
 * R.O.X.: "*...TAR-GET-ING...*"
 * R.O.X.: "*TAR-GET AC-QUIR-ED, I-DENT-I-TY: SALMA, DIR-ECT-IVE...*"
 * R.O.X.: "*...TER-MI-NATE!...*"

Reward dialogue
R.O.X.
 * "R.O.X. appears fully deactivated. You reach out and open up his control panel. Inside lies the golem's power crystal. It emits a strange buzzing sound and vibrates erratically, almost as if something is trying to escape. This is the object Zinn requires. You only need to reach out and take it."
