How to Complete the Gods Before Us Quest
The quest objective for the Gods Before Us quest will inform you about exploring Watha’nan Crypts and pursuing Zul’jan. You will find the crypts in Eversong Woods, Quel’Thalas. While exploring the crypt, head north (44.23, 30.20). Speak to Arator in the middle of the room to start the quest. You will get three quest objectives:
- Stay awhile and listen to Arator (Optional).
- Amani Riddle inspected.
- Amani riddle solved.
- Venture deeper into the crypt.
- Carved Tiles matched.
For the first quest objective, which is optional, you just need to stick around Arator and listen to his dialogue. Then, walk over to the large stone tablet ahead and interact with it to complete the second quest objective. Now, for the final quest objective, you need to explore the crypt and defeat two enemies to collect their loot drops.
Solving the Amani Riddle
The two enemies you need to find are the Spawn of Shadra and the Child of Her’eek. You will find the Spawn of Shadra within one of the rooms on the same floor as the stone tablet, while the Child of Her’eek is on the lower floor. Collect the Bonecarapace Fangs and Bloodvein Clot loot drops from these enemies and return to the stone tablet. Interact with the vases on either side of the tablet and place the required items in them.
Carved Tiles Puzzle Solution
Once the riddle is solved, you get to explore the lower crypt. Head down to find another puzzle to solve. For the Carved Tiles puzzle, all you need to do is step on each tile to conjure an image. There are two of the same images hidden within each tile, and you need to match both images to solve the puzzle. You can refer to the image above to solve the puzzle, and solving it will end the quest.
