How does the mission start
As already said, you have to fulfill certain conditions before starting the mission. Once satisfied, you can go to Bedabin’s camp and speak to Asgarnia Smith. This will begin the entire mission sequence, starting with the Mirrors.
Which NPCs do you have to fight?
You will fight several bosses with several different mechanics. You will fight each of them at various stages of the mission and will have to adjust your equipment and consumables accordingly. Here are all the bosses you need to fight to complete the quest:
- Ice Troll x5 (Level 120 to 124)
- Dessous (Level 139)
- Kamil (Level 154)
- Fareed (Level 167)
- Damis (Level 103 and then Level 174)
Ice Trolls are fairly easy, but be sure to deal with them quickly as the tides will turn in their favor the longer the battle goes on. Meanwhile, the Dessous can be dealt with quickly as long as you bring enough food. Kamil needs several HP potions to recover from the damage he receives from being constantly frozen; while Fareed is possible if you have Protect, Ice Gloves and Water Spells. Finally, Damis is the hardest because it has two phases, so you’ll have to bring a lot of HP recovery potions for the extended combat.
How many sections does this mission have?
It’s a long chain of quests, and each section has a long completion time. There are six phases in total in the Desert Treasure quest, and most require you to retrieve certain items after completing a series of tasks. Here are all the sections of this fight:
- Start the mission and enchant the mirrors
- Retrieve the Smoke Diamond
- Retrieve the Shadow Diamond
- Retrieve the Blood Diamond
- Retrieve the Ice Diamond
- Break into the Ancient Pyramid
Players should be given time to recover and change equipment after each section to increase their chances of successfully completing their tasks.
