Rulings

"Egyptian God" Archetype

All "Egyptian God" cards have the text, "Requires 3 Tributes to Normal Summon (cannot be Normal Set)." This means you cannot pay 3000 LP, to summon this for no monsters. It is a required condition that, 3 monsters are tributed, before it can be Normal Summoned. Mausoleum allows you to summon a monster "for no tritbutes".

Solemn Judgment/Warning

You cannnot activate Solemn Judgment/Warning to the summon by the effect of Mausoleum of the Emperor because Solemn Judgment/Warning does not negate the "effects" of Spell/Trap cards that Normal Summon, Set, or Special Summon a monster(s).

Others (Credits to Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia)

• You cannot use the effect of Ultimate Offering with the effect of Mausoleum of the Emperor.

• Monster that requires 3 tribute for an extra effect (i.e Beast King Barbaros) cannot be paid with the effect of Mausoleum of the Emperor.
