Security Detail

From DDO wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This was Lucian Vaunt's office and personal laboratory - until the massive explosion that destroyed his forge. The explosion that destroyed Vaunt's forge seems to have left this area mostly untouched. A blood-stained note lies near a fresh corpse.

Tips and Misc

Destroyed Forge is the closest port point. Head north then east.

Walkthrough
  • Read the note and move forward, killing some constructs.
Puzzle
  • At the puzzle:
    • Pull the wall lever (to the right of the right-hand barrier) to lower that barrier (and access the shrine).
    • Pull the large floor lever to power the puzzle.
    • If you're just looking for quest completion, solve it towards the stairs up.
      • Optional: You can use the puzzle to lower the first barrier, which releases some metallic dogs and security constructs; they guard a Locked chest.
        • If you solve the puzzle for that first barrier, there is only 1 tile difference to then power the door and continue the quest.
      • Optional: Pull the second wall lever to lower that forcefield to Model X9, larger construct boss. Killing it awards a chest.
  • At the end fight:
    • Defeat several waves of forgewraiths and ultimately a red named forgewraith.
    • Pull three levers to reactivate room security. If you're quick, you can do this while the wraiths are spawning. You could also dedicate a stealthy party member to the task. Room security will help you to defeat the forgewraiths.
