A Treacherous Race begins the final day of Secrets of Azeroth activities.
Completion
Bobby and I finally deciphered the tablets. They tell of an artifact of immense power that was locked away in Tyrhold. And I fear Tithris is after whatever that artifact is.
You must secure whatever the tablets speak of before Tithris. Bobby and I will find a guard and join you as soon as we can.
Take our notes. There are many safeguards that you will need to get through to find the artifact's vault.

Notes
The notes read:
Summary
* An unnamed artifact (or collection of artifacts) was found by Tyr and other titan keepers around Azeroth long ago.
* Tyr focused on one cache in particular, hiding it within Tyr's Hold behind a number of mechanical and magical locks.
* In the next few pages we have detailed the information we found about each of the locks Tyr put in place.
* The texts do not say what was found, but the writing sounds frightened. Not a good sign coming from a titan keeper! We cannot let Tithris steal the artifact.
Lock 1 - Torch of Pyrreth
* We believe the first lock requires the torch. We found the line below as a reference. Hopefully these keepers will be easy to discern.
"Eight keepers stand vigil awaiting a flame bearer."
Lock 2 - Titan Key
* This one is very straightforward. It appears from the text only a few titan keys were forged, including the Titan Key of Tyr you were able to reforge.
"Only key holders can gain approval from my golden visage overlooking the furnaces of the hold."
* You will have to locate this visage and see what the "approval" means.
Lock 3 - Idol of Ohn'ahra
* The third lock requires the idol.
"Scattered amidst the odd rings, one must search each room to find and return all four whole to the Mother Oathstone's charges."
* There was a line that followed with four sets of coordinates: (8, 13), (25, 25), (10, -12), and (25, -24).
* Kathos thinks the Idol of Ohn'ahra will find the scattered items amongst the circular ring tiers that lead deeper into Tyr's Hold.
* Seems you should use the thinking cap near the Mother Oathstone at the base of the main stair. Looks important for that second part!
Note: Is this why Tithris told Bobby about Fangli Hoot? To decipher the coordinate system?
Lock 4 - Orb of Rathmus
* The last lock uses the Orb of Rathmus, which Tithris has. We hope we can bypass this lock to secure the artifact before Tithris can get it. Here is the clue:
"Return the Orb of Rathmus to its consoling rest where Tyr can watch over it from on high."
* There is a great console at the top of Tyrhold which we both believe is the right place.
<A note on the back shows you successfully solved this clue.>
Lock one - keepers
Head to Tyrhold in central Thaldraszus, equip the 
[Torch of Pyrreth], and stand by each big statue that's holding an orb:
| # | Coords | Quest |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | [59.91, 61.05] | 77964 |
| 2 | [57.17, 64.47] | 77960 |
| 3 | [57.18, 62.94] | 77961 |
| 4 | [57.94, 61.81] | 77962 |
| 5 | [57.97, 60.57] | 77963 |
| 6 | [58.01, 56.93] | 77965 |
| 7 | [57.94, 56.01] | 77966 |
| 8 | [59.89, 56.45] | 77967 |
After finding all eight, an emote appears:
- A pulse of energy reverberates across Tyrhold signaling the release of a magical lock.
Lock two - forge
Head to the central forge at [61.2, 58.7] and stand by the big titan face to get an hour-long buff:
Tyr's Favor — Allows one to navigate the lower tiers of Tyrhold unfettered by its keepers. 60 min buff
This turns most mobs in the area friendly.
Lock three - parts
All six of the item locations are in rooms on the lower rings of the central area. Find the items inside Broken Urns that the 
[Idol of Ohn'ahra] point to.
| Coords | Floor | Item |
|---|---|---|
| [59.9, 54.7] | Top |  [Titan Cube Housing]
|
| [59.8, 62.3] | Top |  [Titan Energy Core]
|
| [59.7, 62.6] | Middle |  [Large Titan Capacitor]
|
| [59.7, 54.9] | Middle |  [Titan Focusing Crystal]
|
| [61.9, 61.9] | Bottom |  [Titan Block Key Fragment]
|
| [61.7, 55.1] | Bottom | [Titan Block Key Fragment]
|
Lock three - consoles
Combine both sets of uncommon items into their rare items, then head back to the surface. Head to the front of the Mother Oathstone at [58.5, 58.7] and reset the 
[Tricked-Out Thinking Cap]. Then navigate to the coordinates in the note. Inside each of the towers with an orb on top of them and a water stream in the middle is a Titan Power Relay. Each relay requires a different item:
| Cogs-Bolts | Coords | Quest |
|---|---|---|
| (8, 13) | [59.3, 56.9] | 77968 |
| (25, 24) | [61.0, 55.0] | 77969 |
| (10, -12) | [59.5, 60.6] | 77970 |
| (25, -24) | [61.0, 62.4] | 77973 |
Once the forth device has been interacted with, players get the A pulse of energy reverberates across Tyrhold signaling the release of a magical lock. emote again.
Lock four
Head to the top of Tyrhold to find an Orb Location at [60.1, 58.7] on top of a large console. Interact with it to pick up [60-70] An Ominous Artifact.
