'''Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron''' is a rare [[archaeology]] artifact that requires 375 skill to find and 140 [[Nerubian Archaeology Fragment]]s to solve.  Up to three [[Nerubian Obelisk]] [[keystone]]s may be used to complete it.

According to [[Muradin Bronzebeard]], the Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron was found near the fallen [[necropolis]] [[Kolramas]] in [[Zul'Drak]], and he never heard of it being opened, hoping it stays that way.<ref>''[[Exploring Azeroth: Northrend]]'', pg. 47</ref>

==Description==
The box cannot be opened, but someone is aware of your efforts...

==History==
{{book|Unsolved|content=Each of the fragments of this artifact emits a nonsense whisper that blends into a maddening susurrus as you accumulate more objects. You hope you know what you're doing.}}
{{book|Solved|content=This small box has many shifting panels, moving hinges and hidden clasps. Yet no matter how you manipulate them, it seems impossible to actually open the box to reveal the contents within. It is also difficult to even try because the dark artifact constantly whispers to you, 'It WAS your fault. It WAS your fault. It WAS your fault. It WAS your fault.'}}

==Trivia==
*While several quotes are references to the works of [[Wikipedia:H.P. Lovecraft|H.P. Lovecraft]], certain quotes originate from other games, including [[Wikipedia:Planescape: Torment|Planescape: Torment]] and the [[Wikipedia:Baldur's Gate series|Baldur's Gate series]].
*Several of the quotes seem to refer to the Old God [[N'Zoth]]. Others could have been foreshadowing for [[Y'Shaarj]].
*The item as a whole is probably inspired by the [[Wikipedia:Lemarchand's box|Lament Configuration]] from the ''Hellraiser'' movies.
*The many-eyed goat is mentioned again in [[Wriggling Mass (quest)]].
*The Puzzle Box appears as {{Hs|Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron|an epic mage spell}} in the ''{{Hs|Saviors of Uldum}}'' expansion for ''[[Hearthstone (game)|Hearthstone]]''. When used, it casts 10 random spells at random targets, mimicking the effect of {{Hs|Yogg-Saron, Hope's End}}. Its flavor text reads: ''"PUT THE BOX DOWN, [[Reno Jackson|RENO]]!"''
