NEW SECRET “???” ACHIEVEMENT AND CARD BACK FROM BARRENS – MYSTERIES OF THE PHOENIX – FULL SOLUTION INSIDE!

The last patch added one new thing that wasn’t in the notes. It’s a new achievement and a related card back. However, unlike other achievements, it doesn’t actually tell you what you need to do…

The achievement is called “???” and it asks players to “Solve the mysteries hidden throughout the Barrens.”. That’s all we’ve got in game itself. However, players have already managed to solve the mystery!

As it turns out, clues were in flavor text of Mercenaries雇佣兵. The first one is the most obvious and that’s probably why it was picked – Scabbs Cutterbutter‘ flavor text literally tells you what you need to do. After players figured that out, others were easier to discover – based on clues in flavor texts of other mercenaries. Thanks to the amazing community, we now know a full solution.

All of the parts have to be finished against Innkeeper旅店老板 – start a practice match with the correct deck & class against it! In order to start a match against Innkeeper, pick “Solo Adventures”, “Practice” and “Normal”. I recommend playing against Priest, since his deck is slow, but honestly, none of them should be a big problem. The order in which you finish the puzzles is not relevant – you can start with any part/class.

Part 1/4 – Rogue

Your deck needs to contain Bamboozle, Plagiarize, Yoink!, Coerce and Potion of Illusion. Since they cost 12 mana in total, once you get at least two pieces in your hand, use Efficient Octo-bot + Prize Plunderer to discount them. After you get everything and discount them, play them all in a single turn. Play only those five cards and nothing else! Just make sure that there’s a minion you can Coerce, because you can’t play it on an empty board and make sure you’ll have a hand space after Potion of Illusion. When you end your turn, you should get a card that starts a puzzle. Play it at the start of your next turn.

Here’s an example deck you can use, you can definitely make a stronger one, but I’ve tried to keep it cheap so everyone could use it. If you’re missing any cards OTHER than single copies of the necessary ones listed above, you can swap them as you wish:
