Investigating Istan Trivia Quiz

Answer: The Island of Shehkah

The Island of Shehkah does not contain many valuable items or strong enemies, though it is placed at the start of the game in order for new players to get a grasp on how to play the game. You will get your starter weapon in this area and have your first try at combat. Once a player departs from this area, they will not be able to return at all, so if you wish to have it added to the tally for your Explorer title, you will need to do it immediately.

Answer: Chahbek Village

This mission involves your character defeating Corsairs which have docked and infiltrated the village and surrounding area. In order to complete the mission, you will need to defeat them all. A method that will help you complete the task faster is by using barrels of oil to capapult two Corsair ships.

In order to claim the Masters Reward for this mission, all three Sunspear Recruits must survive.

Answer: Kamadan

Kamadan is commonly known as The Jewel of Istan, probably due to the fact that it's one of the few places on the large island that isn't swarming with large monsters. Kamadan is a port of call on your journey through "Guild Wars" and from its port you can connect to Kaineng City, Lion's Arch, and the Battle Isles.

This city will hold any and every merchant you will need from Armor to Weapons to Dye and Runes. This city is also split into smaller areas including the Sun Docks and the Consulate.

Answer: Yohlon Haven

The Plains of Jarin is one of the few areas in Elona that actually contains lower-level enemies; even for Istan. This area is home to the Sunspear Great Hall, smack dab in the center of the region as well as many outpost in its corners. The area contains many different types of regions including a swamp, desert, and forest.

Here you will get a number of your Heroes and you will complete quests for Acolyte Jin and Acolyte Sousuke; a ranger and an elementalist respectively.

Answer: Zehlon Reach

Zehlon Reach is between Jokanur Diggings and the Astralarium in the northern end of the island. It also connects to the Cliffs of Dohjok to the south. The area is home to two Masters Quests; one of which involves an evil mime! The arae contains a large amount of Corsairs, much like the other regions of the island, but it also contains many Irontooth Drakes, Lances, Mandragors, and Skale. You can tame pet flamingos here as well.

Answer: Fahranur, the First City

Fahranur is on the western end of the island and it overlooks the sea. Players will need to trek through the forests around this structure and make their way through the traps and trials of the location. In this mission, players will need to have Melonni in their party at all times and as a group, everyone must collect tablets to open doorways to fight Apocrypha. For the bonus, you will need to prevent yourself from killing any Sunspear Ghosts that may hinder your journey.

Answer: Sunspear Great Hall

Players will most definitely encounter this location in the center of the Plains of Jarin as it is the first outpost to pass on the way across Istan. In this location, one can advance through the ranks of a Sunspear, develop their heroes, and continue the main quest. All of the other locations are in the southern half of Istan, where the game will begin to get a bit more difficult.

Answer: Five

In the Blacktide Den mission, players must fight their way through the Lahtenda Bog in the southwest end of the island. First, you need to defeat Ironfist's Envoy and a cavalcade of corsairs before disguising yourself, following Captain Besuz, and meeting General Kahyet at the rendezvous point in the temple.

After a brief meeting, you will need to defeat the evil General. Regarding the bonus of the mission, you will need to spread across the map to find five Rinkhal Monitors throughout the bog. If you kill three or four, you'll get the Expert rating, all five will make you a Master, and anything less will result in the Standard rating.

Answer: Rain Beetle

The Rain Beetle is the only enemy listed that's not found in Istan, though it is found in the Vabbian region of Elona, just northeast of Kourna. Fanged Ibogas tend to use Mesmer skills and are less dangerous to their Kournan and Vabbian counterparts, the Mirage Iboga. Grub Lances are Monk enemies who will heal their teammates. Skree Talons are Harpy enemies who will use warrior attacks. All three Istani enemies that are listed can be found in the Cliffs of Dohjok, among other places.

Answer: Dunkoro

Dunkoro, your first Monk ally, is the only requirement for the Consulate Docks mission, which can be found adjacent to the town of Kamadan. This mission may start on Istan ground, but once you accept your task, you'll be taken to Gandara, the Moon Fortress, on the shores of Kourna on the mainland.

This area is home to numerous fighters from the Kournan Military, and in order to complete the mission, you'll need to advance your party to the main square. As well, there is the bonus objective which may be attempted.

In this case, you will need to defeat all Kournan Field Marshal groups and their Commanders. Finishing this mission will set you down in Yohlon Haven in Kourna.
