[edit] Walkthrough
Complete the three quests:
Zinn's Secret Underground Lair can be found in the explorable area The Falls. It is at the westernmost end, where the waterfall displayed on the last page of the golem manual is located. A person with M.O.X in their party must interact with "The Falls" in order to achieve entrance to the secret lair. The closest town to start from is Ventari's Refuge and you must pass through two other areas with a maximum party size of six members to reach it.
[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
- Image of Zinn
- "To preserve Zinn's reputation as well as the great Kingdoms of Tyria, you must find and deactivate the R.O.X., N.O.X., and P.O.X. golems."
- Accept: "Save an Asuran's reputation? What a noble cause. I'm in."
- Decline: "I will not comply."
- When asked about quest: "What are you still doing in here? This isn't even real. Get out there and take care of those golems!"
[edit] Intermediate dialogue
- The Falls
- "This must be it. Zinn's picture clearly shows the falls. Only one way forward: jump. Do you jump?"
Take a deep breath and dive over the edge. (sent to Secret Underground Lair)
I can't swim.
[edit] Reward dialogue
- Zinn
- "As promised, here is further compensation for your services. Perhaps I underestimated you...I mean, I'm happy my faith in your abilities rang true."
[edit] Notes
- With a party of 6, be careful with the aggro in the area right before the secret lair, as many Wind Riders and an elementalist boss can overwhelm parties very quickly.
- While in Zinn's Secret Lair, the map displays you under Oola's Lab, even though you are northwest of that location.
- The player who has M.O.X. as their hero will need to be the one to talk to Zinn to continue the quest.
- The dialogue given by Zinn to players who haven't completed the quest will return the entire party to Ventari's Refuge.
[edit] Trivia
- GOX's quotes are a reference to Gir from the show Invader Zim.
- The line "What does the "G" stand for?" is a reference to GIR from the show Invader Zim when GIR is assigned to Zim, and all the other invaders receive a SIR. GIR's response is "I dooooon't know."
- NOX is similar to Nox the Latin word for Night possibly referring to the campaign's name of Nightfall.
- Similarly, POX refers to a sickness or plague, referencing the events of Factions.
- ROX may be referring to the bloodstones in Prophecies.
- Zinn's name is also a reference to the titular character from Invader Zim.
- The players reply to decline the quest can be a quote from Star Trek: Voyager where ex-borg Seven of Nine will say "I will not comply."
It does not state in your Quest Log that you need to have M.O.X. in your party, but he is required
