Talk:Unspeakable, Unknowable

Reference
Is this a reference to the Indiana Jones movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark?" There seem to be a lot of similarities.

Removed an obsolete tactic that relied on gaining aggro from a held item. -Flypaper

Observations
Having attempted this quest many times (succeeding twice), I can say this: The quest seems to become easier if you don't pick up the Tome of the Rubicon first; rather, just collect Balthazate Crystals and put the Tome back last. Logically this should have no difference on the mission, but it really did seem to make things easier...Maybe it was just me though.

Also, the patrols which appear after killing a Blastrock are not always just 3 Summit Deep Knights - I've gotten larger patrols with 2 Enslaved Ettin, 2 Summit Dark Binders, 1 Priest of Sorrows, and 1 Summit Deep Knight. Or maybe it was just two patrols merged into one? I don't know...Entropy 22:50, 25 November 2006 (CST)

Removed the line about Alkar being able to handle the smaller group with Ettin attacking him. Whether this is false, or was simply nerfed, he will die quite soon. He needs constant babysitting, and waiting for his bar to go down before returning will end in disaster. Safest method is to put the patrols as top priority, so engaging a mob then running back is a sound tactic. Alan Firehazard 05:13, 30 August 2007 (CDT)

Eye of the North
Major connections to the known parts of the story from GW:EN here. The tome in this quest is most likely the cause of whatever events bring about the Great Destroyer in the next chapter. -Samurai-JM - 16:03, 13 April 2007 (CDT)

Alkar heals foes prior to entry to SF?
Can anyone confirm what I just noticed about Alkar's behaviour while I was escorting him through Grenth's Footprint to the the entrance to Sorrow's Furnace? It seemed like he was simply healing any available target that was low on health, including mobs; mind you, considering Danika does this in the Raisu Palace mission, I wouldn't be shocked if he is in fact healing anything in range that requires it, friend or foe.
