Dialogue


 * "I hate it here. It's smelly and I miss my old home.  If only mother would let me go back for my treasure, then I might be happy.  But, it's "too dangerous."  No, you couldn't possibly get it for me.  Ha!  My treasure is so well hidden, only the bravest and smartest would dare to even try!  I doubt a mere Sunspear could do it.  Yeah.  That's right.  I just called you a dumb coward.  Even if I told you how to find it, you'd just get lost.  Oh, you gonna cry now?  Fine.  I dare you to find my treasure.  No, I double dog dare you!"

Reward Dialogue


 * "Bobo! You found him!  I guess I underestimated you.  I'll keep that in mind should we meet again."

Walk through
First, the land where water sparkles and dunes hide gold is Mehtani Keys. Head east until you arrive at a village. The tower is an elevated building east of the island with houses built on wood planks. Continue heading east from the village until you arrive at an elevated building (there will be non-aggressive smugglers standing underneath it). Head south and if you look to your east, you'll see a rock formation with a big woman's head on it. Some people say that Ajamduk, Hunter of the Sands, is actually a mandragor queen and so she seems to be looking south which is the way you should go. Continue heading south, and the angry bear is actually a man living alone named "Behrdos". Keep heading south, and you should see a large temple-like thing. Walk to the doors and it updates into the next phase. Next turn northwest, and walk until your under the two pillars that are pretty close, you can count if you want. Turn north-northwest, and you'll see one pillar that is knocked over while the other three are standing. Walk over to its base. Head west, until you see a wrecked and split in half boat on the beach, it should have a decent amount of corsairs around it, kill them. Walk around to the boulder behind, you may have to walk around all the edges of it and a little out for the next stage to activate. It's the boulder that is actually on the beach, not the one out in the water. On the northwestern side of the rock, where theres kind of a little indention and some rocks surrounding the edge of the sand/water area, type /kneel, and it gives you Ashigun's brown teddy bear, named, "Bobo".

Trivia
The arch is called Twin Queens' Arch, because there are actually two Queen statues looking at it from both sides.

The teddy bear is reference to Mr. Burns' teddy bear from The Simpsons episode "Rosebud" (season 5, episode 4).

The quest name and bits of Ashigun's dialogue are from the Jean Sheppard movie A Christmas Story
