Are you ready to dive into one of the most thrilling quests in Throne and Liberty? The Won! Golem’s Manastone quest isn’t just about slaying monsters or gathering materials this time, you’re stepping into the underground world of a secret auction. Yep, it’s as shady and intense as it sounds. To get your hands on the elusive Golem’s Manastone, you’re going to need more than brute force. You’ll need strategy, patience, and a bit of luck in a bidding war where mistakes are costly.

Starting the Won! Golem’s Manastone Quest

Before you can take part in this exciting auction, you’ve got to start the quest. The first step is to locate the Golem Crafter, your key NPC for this adventure.

Where to Find the Golem Crafter

The Golem Crafter can be found southeast of the Abandoned Stonemason Town waypoint. He’s marked on your map, so tracking him down shouldn’t be too hard. Once you find him, he’ll fill you in on the details: you need to get your hands on a Golem’s Manastone and the only way to do that is by winning it in a secret auction. Yep, things just got interesting.

Step One: Defeat the Giant Crystal Scorpion

Before you can enter the auction, you’ll need a Flawless Crystal. How do you get that? By taking down a Giant Crystal Scorpion, of course.

Scorpion Locations and Spawn Points

These scorpions are tough to find, but you’ll see their spawn points marked on your map, similar to the Giant Goblin Butchers in the game. Look for a red skull icon that’s your cue that one has spawned.

Once you find a scorpion, it’s time to fight. While they’re elite monsters, they’re not too hard to defeat, especially if you’ve got decent AoE skills. Keep your distance, hit hard, and watch out for other monsters in the area that might get in your way. You only need the Flawless Crystal, so focus on taking down the scorpion quickly.

Combat Tips

The scorpion’s attacks are predictable once you know them: it has an AoE spin attack, an underground stun move, and a tail strike. If you’re solo, stay patient and avoid aggroing other mobs nearby. However, if you’re lucky, other players might help out, making the fight quicker.

Once you’ve got the crystal, it’s time for the next step: the auction.

Entering the Secret Auction

Now that you’ve got the Flawless Crystal, you’re eligible to enter the secret auction. Follow the mining cart tracks under the Wrecked Quarry Wheel north of Abandoned Stonemason Town. You’ll meet the gatekeeper who will accept your crystal and give you 100 Mica, the currency used for bidding at the auction.

Navigating the Auction Process

This is where things get a little tricky. The auction isn’t straightforward; there are multiple items up for bid, and the auctioneer doesn’t tell you what’s being sold. You’re going to have to rely on a single line of dialogue to know when the Golem’s Manastone is up for grabs.

Listen closely for this phrase:
“This, my friends, is a precious item. It’s an enormous concentrate made of magic.”

Once you hear that, it’s go-time. Bid high, but be strategic.

Bidding Strategy: How to Win the Golem’s Manastone

The max bid for any item is 50 Mica. If there’s only one other bidder, you’ve got a solid chance of winning by bidding second. But if the auction gets competitive, you’ll need to wait until the bid reaches 40 Mica before throwing your hand up. Timing is crucial here bid too soon or too late, and you might miss out on the stone.

Returning to the Golem Crafter

Once you’ve won the auction, it’s time to collect your reward and head back to the Golem Crafter. Simply hand over the Golem’s Manastone, and he’ll give you your well-earned reward. The quest is now complete, and you’ve secured some valuable materials for upgrading your gear.
