Track the movements of M'aiq the Liar across Tamriel and beyond.

I Like M'aiq is awarded for encountering M'aiq the Liar at least once in each of the Alliance zones and Coldharbour. This includes the Starter zones of Bal Foyen, Betnikh, and Khenarthi's Roost (but not Bleakrock Isle or Stros M'Kai), for a total of 19 sightings. M'aiq can appear in several locations within each of these zones, but he has a fairly low chance of spawning, so you may need to revisit the same locations several times. You must actually speak to M'aiq at least once per zone in order to be given credit. Simply spotting him is not enough. You can usually speak to him 3 times before he simply tells you to "come back later".

Unlike with the Crime Pays, Give to the Poor, or Lightbringer achievements, M'aiq is visible to all players, so if another player sees him in a given location, he will be there for you as well.

The locations where M'aiq can spawn are listed below:

NotesEdit

  • The title of this achievement is a reference to the "I Like Ike" US political movement of the mid-20th century.
  • You can only get 3 unique dialogue lines from M'aiq in a day, but finding him multiple times a day in different zones will still count toward achievement progress even though he will say "Come back later. We can talk some more!" every time you find him subsequently on that day.
