During it, you will have to look for clues, fight mercenaries, inspect the auction site, find out information in the archive, question people and penetrate the heart of the Hall of Repose. If you have any difficulties obtaining and completing this quest chain, then study our guide.
How to start the legend quest “Sands of Solitude”
The actions of this quest take place in Sumeru and its desert part, so you will not gain access to it right away. First you will need to fulfill several conditions, namely:
- Receive at least Adventure Rank 40. We have given some tips on how to increase this parameter in separate material.
- Finish the Archon quest "King Deshret and the Three Magi", which is the fourth chapter of the third Thoma of the game's main storyline.
- Prepare one Story Key by completing 8 daily errands (you can only complete 4 daily sessions per day). You can keep no more than three keys with you at the same time, so you won’t be able to save them in reserve.
Once you understand these requirements, open your quest log and go to the Legend Quests tab. Here, simply find the desired hero and unlock access to his quest line.
Suspicious Smuggling Case
Take a look around the Academy
Teleport to the city and go to the quest marker. Nabil will tell you about the “knowledge capsules of unknown origin” that are increasingly appearing on the market.
Look for clues
Move northeast of the city. At the teleport you will see two large tents - fly towards them. It turns out that Cyno is already conducting his investigation here.
Arrest the suspects
From the previous location, go northeast. Cyno, after talking with the smugglers, will go to look for their boss.
Ask Dori
The merchant is located in the Alcazar Barn. The girl will tell you about the auction of knowledge capsules.
Talk to Cyno
The general is waiting for you in the Caravan Ribat, at the notice board. He will want to get rid of your pursuers.
Leave the Caravan Ribat
Go west. You will be stopped by a group of Hermits led by Juba. Defeat two waves of enemies and try out Cyno as a playable character.
Chain of Interests
Head to the auction location
The game will draw your attention to the four-leaf symbols, which will quickly take you to the auction. However, if you have a teleport open nearby, you can simply move there.
Defeat four unexpectedly attacked scorpions. Cyno will understand that these are specially bred monsters, and not ordinary desert inhabitants. They found you using a special device they planted on you.
Go southwest. Defeat three more scorpions and continue on your way.
View the auction site
The criminals fled, knowing about your arrival in advance, so all you have to do is look for clues. Examine 4 points of interest.
Move away
To deceive the criminals, you need to leave, leaving Cyno at the auction. Head towards Aaru Village.
Meet Cyno
Go back and talk to the general. The only returning merchant, Bahari, will offer to talk to you in his home village.
Go to the northern part of Aaru. Here you will meet Simin, Bahari's daughter. The father will tell you that the girl has been sick since birth, and all the money he earns is spent on medicine.
In the backyard you will find the necessary knowledge capsule, and also learn that matras from the Academy are involved in the matter.
The All Returns to Silence
Talk to Nabil
Go to the Academy. After talking with Nabil, find Utayba and he will open the archive for you.
From the entrance, turn left and examine the papers with information about the Hall of Repose. From Utayba you will learn about the tragedy of the Radkani family. Leave the archive.
Ask people about the cargo from the Academy
You have to ask two people, even though you won’t get any useful information from them.
Jaehnam is standing right next to the teleport.
Badr stands a little higher.
Go down from the teleporter and talk to guard Payam. You will learn that Taj Radkani himself approved the removal of knowledge capsules from the Academy.
Matra Usem will tell you that Taj disappeared with the company of the Hermits.
Go to Taj's house
Radkani's house is located in the northern part of Sumeru. You will find an ancient map indicating the Hall of Repose.
Give the map to Cyno - the general is waiting for you at Bahari's house.
Find the Court of Desolation
The entrance is located approximately in the same area where the auction was held, under a rock.
The game recommends taking Dendro, Hydro and Electro characters into this dungeon. This is not necessary to successfully complete the quest. In addition, you will be given Cyno as a trial hero.
Go forward, defeat the Primordial Construct and open the rich chest.
Moving further along the corridor, defeat a couple of scorpions and activate the mechanism to turn the passage. Follow it and fall down, defeat the monsters and pick up a regular chest.
Go into the new room and follow the invisible stairs to the button. Click on it and open the passage.
In the next room, activate another button, then use the mechanism, then press the button again.
Defeat the Primordial Construct and move forward.
Cyno will unsuccessfully try to convince Taj not to open the door behind which the treasures of the Hall are hidden.
Defeat Taj
At the beginning of the battle, your opponent will summon two monsters. However, Taj himself is not a strong enemy, so he is easy to defeat, even ignoring his vassals.
After the battle, you will learn that Taj’s goal was not to return his son, but to destroy the Hall and save people from certain death.
Wait 4 days
The game allows you to set the clock hands only for 2 days, so the action will have to be repeated twice. However, you can postpone completing the quest and do other in-game activities, and time will fly by.
Head to Caravan Ribat
After teleportation, Nabil will immediately meet you and tell you about what happened over these days. Then go up the stairs to the left of the entrance and talk to Cyno and Tighnari. This will complete the task.

For this quest you will receive 1750 adventure experience points, 104700 mora, 12 books of experience, 23 pieces of reinforcement ore, 60 primogems, 5 Instructions about “Instructions” and the “The General Mahamatra on Duty” decor.
