A false truth
No Expiration
Portobelo Adventurer's Guild
We received yet another request from that mystery client. They said that, since you're finally probably making progress on learning the meaning of those inscriptions, they now want something else to be investigated. Well, a rumour's been going around lately about some new kind of discovery. I believe it came out of Veracruz.

1. Temple of the Inscriptions
The temple where you discovered the stone cofin when researching the royal graves is known as "The temple of the epigraph" due to the engravings. The contents were entirely different from what we imagined. We thought the grave belonged to Pakal from the trickiness of the epitaph or the way the grave was hidden.

2. The name Pacal is not there
King Pakal's name doesn't appear at all in the engravings on the temple. We were quite sure that it wasa king's grave since it was hidden so well. Or is a king's name that we do not yet know engraved there.

3. Targeted temple
If that's the case, isn't it better you search the remains directly again. A number of shady characters have collected near the remains recently. They seem to be studying the temple. But they attack any adventurer or scholar that approaches and there are already several reports of incidents. You must be careful.

4. Harachi Winik
FGah, This temple... this is no royal grave... or anything... Halach Uinic... this is Halach Uinic's tomb. Hurry up...!!

5. "Man of Truth"
Halach Uinic? It means "The true person"... Isn't that the king? What does "the true person" mean? Be that as it may, there is someone eyeing you suspiciously. Ah, he just wandered off. He went toward the gates.

6. Eyes that follow you
That man went towards the ruins. ...I don't know who he is, but each time you went to research the ruins he was following you. You didn't notice? You are quite unfocused for someone who discovered something so important. Hahaha!

7. Repeat investigation of the Temple of the Inscription
It seems the man buried inside the temple of inscriptions is "the true person" and not the king. Who could that be? There ought to be burial items if it was someone important. Can we not deduce from that? ... By the way, who could have followed me here?

I have troubles pulling this quest. I have made both pre-quests "History hidden in lettering on a crest" and "Grave of the Mayan king". I have more than 120k adventure fame. Maybe there are some more hidden requirements, maybe I need battle fame.
I checked some Korean and Japanese sites, and I found some criteria for this quest which I do not understand:
Experience and fame 300/200
I wonder what do these numbers mean.

total lvl 300 and 200 fame :D I've had no trouble spawning the quest, but do you have Mayan language? that might help.

Donce

Yes, I have Mayan language.
I took a closer look at Japanese site and if I understood it correct there is one more pre-quest - a nine star quest from Alexandria called "Run down the haunt of illegal diggers". Hmmm, I'll give it a try and post here the results.
Shirin, have you done "Run down the haunt of illegal diggers" quest?

Yes, I did the whole chain to get the peacock brooch discovery. It's always nice to triple check jap. wiki, even though it's hard and frustrating to understand it, somethimes. And experience award from discovery "Mysterious slate" is really epic. Good luck with chain mate!

So I've done "Run down the haunt of illegal diggers" quest from Alexandria, and after that sailed to Portobelo. I used only one QMP there and finally got this "A false truth" quest. So Japanese wiki was right.

lol why does this discovery give so little xp?
Guilder03-19-2016
Look at the discovery card description, and consider the dialogue boxes leading up to it: you've been had. Outwitted. Fooled! Scheck von Wald stole the actual discovery right out from under you, and left a mocking faux artifact in its place to rub your nose in it. You'll have to pay him back for that... perhaps invite him to a banquet in his honor?

Oh, well derp.
