Tips and Misc

Tavern

• Talk to Victor, follow him outside and enter the warehouse

The search

• Kill enemies
• Break boxes until you find a ledger
• Reading the ledger makes a nearby grate/door active

The puzzle

• Open the grate
• Take the air jet up
  • The low gravity only affects the first person to touch the tile.
• Solve the three wheels puzzle
  • A clue for the right wheel is behind a grating on the right.
  • A clue for the left wheel is behind a grating on the left.
  • Once left and right wheels are set, just turn the center wheel until grates open. A clue for this wheel can be seen behind a grating in the large main room as well.
  • If you're quick, you get some extra xp.

The waves

• Head into the office, pull the lever to the right.
• Enemies start spawning on the staircase; kill all waves (you can also do this after the basement).

The basement

• Enter the basement: jump down the shaft on the right side of the wheel puzzle (this grate is opened by the lever in the office).
• Defeat enemies in the basement. If you're quick, kill golems before they destroy prototypes; this yields some optional xp. Also, destroyed prototypes release a forgewraith.

(The prototype Victor is using (available at the end of the quest) counts towards the "retrieve more" optional.)

• There's a shrine at the bottom of the stairs

Back up to Victor

• Climb back up the stairs, clearing some fiery enemies.
• Talk to Victor to conclude the quest.
