The Paradox Tower Quest

It was originally implemented with the Darashia Update, before the quest system existed. Back then, the possible rewards were a Red Spell Wand, a Time Ring, a Magician Hat and a Violet Gem. With Update 7.24, almost 2 years after the quest had been implemented, its rewards were changed to 10k gp, a Wooden Wand, 32 Talons and a Phoenix Egg. Lastly, one and a half years later, the wooden wand was replaced by a Wand of Cosmic Energy on Christmas Update 2005.

• Melon, Banana, Cherry, Apple, Grapes, and Coconut
• 1 White Knight Token and 1 Black Knight Token (can be obtained from the game rooms in Edron, Carlin, Kazordoon, Yalahar and Thais)

Note: If you have visited the tower already since the last server save, you will only need the skulls to get to the tower, since the fruits and chess pieces are only required to uncover the ladders to the floors above, and only need uncovering once per day unless someone else went there and switched back the levers or a floor reset has occurred. Then you will need to go there with all the items again, so better take everything just to be sure.

• This quest takes a long time, and there is a lot of time spent walking. You should bring a lot of food and Blank Runes with you.
• The Paradox Tower and the entire area around it is a Protection Zone, so you will not regenerate any mana or hp, nor can you attack anyone or be attacked by anyone.
• When you sacrifice the skulls to get to the tower, the skulls will be replaced by Poison Fields. If you arrive and find poison fields on the Sacrificial Stones, you do not need to wait for them to vanish - just place the skulls on top of the poison fields and walk onto the Glowing Switch in the middle.
• You will need 4 skulls EVERY time you travel to the Paradox Tower.
• You will need to cut the grass and wait for it to grow back EVERY time you travel to the Paradox Tower. Stepping into the doorway makes the staircase disappear again, so get your entire group inside the tower before stepping on the switchplate to reveal the stairs.
• You will need to wait for the Ghoul to step on the plate EVERY time you travel to the Paradox Tower. When it moves into the top left corner, go up the ladder QUICKLY, because it will move away, and the ladder will disappear again.
• There is a question that the Riddler will ask you: "What is your favorite color?". Any color will do the first time you are asked this question (even though this spoiler says 'green' as the color); however you have to answer with the same color the next time it is asked, and when you talk to A Prisoner. If you do not remember what color you said, just look at the Paradox Tower entry of your Quest Log.
• If you try to talk to A Prisoner too soon, he will not tell you your number; instead he will reply "I think you are not in touch with yourself, come back if you have tuned in on your own feelings."
• If you step on ALL of the switchplates in the treasure room, you will DESTROY EVERY REWARD, and receive nothing for the quest. Be careful where you step.
• The area in Hellgate you are teleported to isn't very dangerous. You don't have to open backpacks of runes when answering Riddler's last question. Follow the maps below to get out of Hellgate (Note: you do not need the Hellgate key, so don't waste 5k on it).
