Travel to 62.5 46.1 and inspect the tome. You have to combine two colors to open one of three buildings.

Combine blue and yellow blessings to open green chest and collect Fragment of Acuity.
Combine blue and red blessings to open violet chest (inside the right building) and collect Fragment of Guile.
Combine red and yellow blessings to open orange chest and collect Fragment of Wit (chest inside the north building).

Click the corresponding statues to get a buff of a certain color then mix those colors to solve the individual keys red and blue make violet, red and yellow make orange, etc. simple as that.

For those wondering why you can't open the chests, click on the Tome in front of the statues first. <derp>

Thanks Blizz, from all the colourblind alts out here :(

Epic challenge: mix colours like you're in kindergarten to get the "highest honor" sigil. Education must be real bad on Argus if a quest for toddlers is all they can put in your way.

This is funny quest :) you need to mix colors to break down barriers and collect 3 items. You have 3 bariers with colors Purple, Orange and Green. To get this colors you need to mix from 3 colors ( you can find them on statues ) Red, Blue and Yellow.

Green - Blue + Yellow
Orange - Red + Yellow
Purple - Red + Blue

Run into a really weird bug where no matter what you click and where you stand it will not acknowledge Blue and just assumes you mean Yellow even if you click Red or Blue multiple times.

Found a work around. Left click a statue and make sure the three colour buff over your head disappears then if you right click a statue it should behave again. Might take a couple of attempts but it's an alternative to dropping the quest and hoping for the best :)

Comment by Eziair

Stand there for hours and be entertained by all the people that don't know how to mix the 3 basic primary colours into 3 secondary colours = lesson 1 pre-school.

Comment by 7ammerheart

The red statue only seemed to give me yellow, so that I couldn't complete purple. After many minutes of trying (I thought I must be clicking the statue wrong, so I tried it from every possible angle), I found out I could get Red by clicking Yellow. Jebus.

Comment by Pixiwix

So I sat trying to mix colors for ten minutes and kept coming up with red+yellow...even when I swore I was clicking on blue.

If you have the same problem, click on the colors from behind. (worked for me)

November 2020, the glitches seem to have been ironed out. If you're confused, just follow Mypciscraze's advice in these comments.

Comment by razer14

Congrats Blizzard. In 2022 this quest is still bugged. None of the other suggestions worked for me. I had to abandon the quest, then re-do it. It worked when I started with Purple (Red + Blue) first, then did the other colors. I would suggest starting with Purple the first time, it may work better for you.

Comment by BladeKnight1120

Here's a new bug. If you're trying to complete this quest while the world quest is active you're out of luck. Even matching the colors correctly won't let you in.

FIX FOR THE WORLD QUEST BUG W/ A FRIEND

Ran into the bug where if the world quest was active, I could NOT access the purple room regardless of whether or not my colors were correct. My friend and I sat and thought of ways for like 20 minutes to get me through the gate so I didn't have to wait 19 hrs for the world quest to despawn. Our combo of paladin and priest didn't have any teleports.

After all the troubleshooting we did (even using shadow word: death to die after going down to 1 hp from a duel AND THEN raising which didn't work) we had the bright idea for him to complete the world quest and then walk me through the gate on a sand drake while I had the buff up. Worked just fine. Hope this helps and you don't spend 40 mins here like I did trying to bug-out the bug.

Comment by Syphero

At the time of this comment this quest can still be bugged when there is a worldquest up. It seems both the regular quest and the world quest have different overlapping symbols, so you can't get through the shields no matter which symbol you are carrying. Completing the world quest first was not an option for me, as the statues would not be holding the symbols when abandoning the regular quest.

However, eventually I was able to complete the quest by doing the following:

- Make sure you have clicked the book in front of the statues to continue the quest.
- Facing the statues, I first grabbed the color of the floating chest with the ball-shaped shield on my right. Check if there is a trail on the ground leading to this chest to make sure you have the right color/symbol activated.
- Mount up and attempt to get through the shield. At first I still got pushed back, but after some trial and error I was able to be fast enough to get through it. There might be two floating chests in here, only one should be clickable.
- After unlocking the first chest I did the one in the back and the one on the right without issues (in that order). Just make sure you get the trail leading there, because it may be confusing which symbol you need to get since the world quest will overlap with a different symbol.

Hope this helps.

I was having the Quest+WQ bug and managed to get past the purple gate. What I did was get the colors from the statue, move away a little so the WQ would vanish from the map(I went west), and approached it again from the back (near the teleporter). I still had the purple sigil over my head when I re-approached and managed to get in (I was in combat, not sure if that made a difference or not).

Comment by LightChase

If you are a void elf, you can spatial rift through the shields.

Comment by Metzae

If you're having trouble with this quest, try mounting up first.

Gatekeeper's Challenge: Cunning

Collect a Fragment of Acuity, Wit, and Guile and combine them into a Mark of Cunning.

	Inspect the Well-Preserved Tome (1)
	Fragment of Acuity (1)
	Fragment of Wit (1)
	Fragment of Guile (1)

Description

Archimonde expected greatness from his pupils. Only the most imaginative minds, the most adroit of intellects, could ever truly fathom the deepest reaches of our magic.

I doubt you can relate.

The path to the left will take you to a set of three statues. Use them to collect a Mark of Cunning.

To preserve the integrity of this trial, I will not be able to provide hints. If you do, by some miracle, happen to succeed, I will formally recognize your... brilliance.
