Warhammer Online Player Guide - Rise of the Tomb Kings Blog Challenge

To celebrate the culmination of CALL TO ARMS, the first live expansion for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, Mythic Entertainment is hosting a community event like no other.

Beginning in late-June, WAR players will be able to venture into the ancient desert kingdom of the Tomb Kings to explore THE LAND OF THE DEAD. This massive new zone is free to all players, and introduces a wealth of new challenges for characters rank 25 and above, including a massive deadly, trap-laden dungeon.

To mark the occasion, Mythic is giving away exclusive in-game items through an online puzzle of epic proportions.

If you want to claim your free Scarab Amulet, put your decoding hat on, because the Rise of the Tomb Kings blog challenge is coming!

Over the next three weeks, Tomb King Skulls will be appearing on some of your favorite online gaming sites. Painted on these skulls are five different Cartouches.

Translate any one of these and you’ll reveal an item code. If you play on a North American or Oceanic server, you can take this to the Mythic Account Center and enter it into your account. Once activated, you will receive a unique Scarab Amulet reward. This fun item summons a Scarab swarm that chitters and swirls around your feet.

Remember, nothing grants e-kudos like a personalized beetle horde.

How do you translate the hieroglyphs? Well, you’ll need to search around the WAR blogosphere. Just like the Night of Murder bloody valentines, we’ve sent special packages out to US and Canadian WAR bloggers. Different blogs will get different fragments of the code. Collect the lot, and you’ll be able to translate a Cartouche.

You’ll need to be quick about collecting the code. Each Cartouche will only give out 1,000 Scarab Amulets (only one per account, before you ask!). So, if you want your beetle buddies, get thee to the internet!

If you play on a European server, North American server codes won’t work on your account. You’ll have to solve your own version of the challenge. Check out http://www.war-europe.com/ and the Rise of the Tomb Kings Blog Challenge FAQ for more details!
